I can’t recommend Kacy highly enough! She took wonderful care of my beagle, Bagel, for a full week while staying in my home, and everything about the experience was outstanding. From the start, Kacy was warm, professional, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Bagel was clearly well loved the entire time. Kacy was incredibly attentive and responsible, keeping Bagel on her routine, giving her plenty of walks, playtime, and affection, and sending thoughtful updates that gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a calm, happy dog and a house that was just as I left it (if not better). It’s rare to find someone you trust so fully with both your pet and your home, and Kacy exceeded every expectation. I would book her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. 🐶✨

Maranda was fantastic. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. She was quick to learn and work with the idiosyncrasies of our two cats, took care of our house which was immaculate when we returned and communicated with us while away as much/or as little as we requested. She is very personable, respectful and responsive.

I had Grace housesit/petsit for 3 days. She was excellent! I'm a helicopter cat mom and it's not easy leaving your home and baby with someone you don't know, Grace made the experience worry-free, my shy cat loved her and she sent frequent pics/updates. My house looked great when I got back, she even watered my plants. I'm definitely booking her again, and you should too, she's trustworthy, reliable and was just a nice, easy person to work with.

About: I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I love to go out and play with pets I care for. I would dog sit when I was in high school for different families. Those families loved how attentive I was, and as a result they would refer me to their friends. I’m always available for you buddies! You and me both know that your pets are more than pets, theyre family. You don’t want just anyone taking care of family. I do currently work full time, however I have a job that is extremely flexible. I set my own hours, including when I am in my office. This pairs perfectly with animal care and house care because I can come and go as frequently as needed. Due to my open schedule I can be available for any needs your pets may have. I prefer to let the client tell me exactly what they want for their pet. I like to keep your life as simple as possible while giving you peace of mind by following any requests you have. If you need your animal crated, if you want them roaming, whatever is asked you can expect to be done.

About: Animals have always been the center of my life, and caring for them is so much more than a job to me — it’s truly my passion. I currently have four dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand firsthand the love, attention, patience, and responsibility that go into providing excellent pet care every single day. My experience with animals goes far beyond personal pet ownership. I worked at a dog rescue for three years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and special needs. During that time, I also fostered 52 dogs, helping them transition into safe, loving homes. That experience taught me how to build trust with nervous pets, handle different personalities, and provide compassionate, individualized care. In addition, I have been working as a veterinary technician for the past two years, which has given me strong knowledge of animal health, behavior, safety, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness, administering attentive care, and making sure pets feel safe and supported. What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every animal I meet. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I have the experience and heart to provide exceptional care. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly life. Each day, I set aside dedicated time for feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Every pet receives the love, care, and attention they need to thrive, making their time with me a happy and fulfilling experience. When caring for pets, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my home, I ensure a secure and pet-friendly space by removing hazards, providing comfortable bedding, and maintaining a clean environment. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care requirements. I build trust by being patient, gentle, and attentive, allowing pets to adjust at their own pace. Regular playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement help create a bond and alleviate any anxiety they may feel. In a client's home, I respect their space and maintain their pet's routine as closely as possible. I follow their instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, and playtime. I ensure the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are properly closed and that there are no potential hazards. I communicate regularly with the owner, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pet is in good hands. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or theirs, so pets feel secure and loved in their owner's absence.

About: I've been working as a veterinary assistant for about 8 years now! Before then, I worked as a pet sitter and a doggie daycare worker! I'm currently in school and working in clinicals, so I no longer get to work full time. I'd love to care for your pets in my free ❤ While pet sitting, I treat pets as of they were my own. Im very detail oriented and want your pet to be as happy and stress-free as possible while you're away, so giving me the more information on their care, the better!

About: My experience is a unique blend of a long-time educational and research background and 47 years of dedicated canine care, providing a professional practice rooted in deep knowledge and a lifetime of devotion. I offer specialized expertise in the full spectrum of a dog’s life, from the joyful, structured development of raising my current puppy, Oliver Lane, from 10 weeks old, to the tender, complex management of my late two elderly 15-year-old babies. This dual experience means I am equally skilled at navigating puppy milestones and providing the specialized medical and palliative care required for seniors. I apply the same discipline from my 25-year career to maintain a structured 24/7 routine, ensuring that every pet—regardless of age—benefits from a calm, intuitive, and highly organized environment filled with family-level love. SPECIALIZED PET CAR: After a 25-year career as a doctoral-level educational professional, I have transitioned to a full-time schedule dedicated to dog care. Maintaining a 24/7 routine for my own 2-year-old fur child, Oliver Lane, affords me the unique flexibility to adapt to your dog's specific scheduling needs. I provide smoke-free, hypoallergenic, flea- and tick-conscious boarding in my pet-friendly home, designed with easy-clean flooring for comfort and hygiene. Dogs enjoy a full acre of play space in a welcoming neighborhood with secure neighboring fences for a safe, social environment. Crating is available only if requested, part of a routine, or needed for training/transitional support. Verifiable shot records are required for any service. Transportation is available in my Ford Explorer “Mini-Hotel,” featuring climate-controlled comfort, orthopedic blankets, toys, and premium treats. With 25 years of leadership experience and a lifetime of animal care, I provide 24/7 active supervision, ensuring every guest is safe, loved, and treated like family. For everyone’s safety, please let me know your dog’s current flea/tick prevention status. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority.

Sabrina did a great job taking care of our 4-month-old puppy, Wednesday, and our kitty, Xander. She played with our puppy and let her out a bunch while she’s still potty training. She gave our cat some love, giving him company while our pets are still separating during their time still getting to know each other. It definitely helps us put our minds at ease when we leave for another trip knowing that they’ll be in great hands! :)

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very little! From bottle feeding kittens and newborn puppies, to the older furry friends who need extra attention in different ways. I currently am a stay at home mom to a very friendly and pet safe 4 year old. We take everyday as a new adventure which allows plenty of flexibility. From tasks as serious as medication administration and special diets to as simple but important as preferred toys in their beds so they sleep just like they would if you were home, I will be more than happy to care for your pet as my own.

Isabel was awesome with my two pups! She came and met them beforehand so they were comfortable with her and gave us multiple updates on how they were doing and cared for them during our wedding when we were pretty out of commission but I felt comfortable knowing they were in her hands! Thank you Isabel!
