About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

“Lauren was great with our high anxiety dog, Bo! She stayed at our house with Bo, and she did a great job taking care of our house, watering our plants, etc. too. She communicated with us daily and kept our worries at bay. Her love for dogs was evident from the first time she met us and Bo. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”



“Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.”


“Jeff spent his holiday time taking care of everything. We were out of state, and Jeff as always was in touch and sent pictures and updates daily. We can see why he is in demand. We won’t call anyone but Jeff. You can tell he loves animals. Thanks again Jeff. Whatever your needs, Jeff is your man.”


About: I’ve had dogs, bunnies, and other animals my whole life! I just graduated college, and am looking for a good way to spend my extra time right now:) I currently have a very open schedule, so there’s not much that wouldn’t fit into my routine right now. Pet care would be the perfect addition to my routine:) I have a lot of experience caring for pets in other peoples homes. I love taking dogs for walks, and playing with them especially when the weather is nice!

About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant and kennel assistant in multiple different offices and shelters for ten years. I also have owned numerous dogs and cats in my lifetime. I have experience with diabetic cats and dogs, and administering medication. There is no dog i cannot medicate when he needs them! I’m a stay at home mom of 1 with two dogs and one cat, so I’m always available. Rain or shine, day or night, I can always pop in on Fido or Fluffy! Unless otherwise discussed with the pet parent, my usual rounds would include cleaning and refilling the water bowl at every visit, feeding at the agreed upon times, bathroom breaks upon my arrival and departure, regardless of the length of my stay, and plenty of loves and scritches for your four legged best friend!

About: Tyson was my first dog I got when I turned 17. We traveled everywhere together & he showed me how loving an animal can truly be. I am the first one my friends call to watch their animals. I absolutely love taking them on walks & I will love your fur baby like my own. I am currently working part time. I usually work around four to five days a week. And Im usually off Saturdays thru Mondays. Give or take I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.


About: I grew up with dogs in my childhood home the entire time living there. I have taken care of small five pound dogs to a large dog like the newfoundland and a great pyrenees. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog who loves others! She gets along with all dogs, small or large. Shes just a playful pup :) I am willing to take care of your dog just as well as I take care of mine! My availability will be based off yours :) I’m self employed so my availability will be off yours. 🙂 We do daily walks, lots of outside time. My pups love chasing after a cat laser toy in the house and outside in the evenings. I live in a Duplex with our own yard. It’s not fenced completely. It is a partial fence, but I do have dog tie outs. I’m outside with them the entire time. Plenty of dog toys, balls and room to roam.

About: Dog Lover by Nature, Technician by Trade 🐾💼 Hi! I’m a full-time Piping and Instrumentation Technician at an oil refinery — but my real full-time job is being a proud dog mom to two fluffy Samoyeds who run the house (and my heart). 🐶❄️ When I’m not checking valves and calibrating instruments, I’m happiest covered in dog fur and surrounded by wagging tails. I clock out at 4:30 PM and go straight into dog mode — ready for walks, belly rubs, and all the ear scratches your pup can handle! Weekends and evenings are when I turn my passion for animals into something I can share. Whether your dog needs a stroll, a snuggle, or a buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let me love your dog like I love mine — enthusiastically, responsibly, and with a pocket full of treats. 🐾❤️ • Weekdays: Available after 4:30 PM (Monday–Friday) — perfect for evening walks, cuddles, and dinner-time drop-ins. • Weekends: Full availability (Saturday & Sunday) for all your pet care needs, big or small. How I Care for My Own (Very Spoiled) Pups 🐶💅 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am! At home, I’ve got two fluffy Samoyeds who rule the roost, and I treat them like the royal (and slightly dramatic) snow dogs they are. I’m big on reading body language—every tail flick and side-eye tells a story. I always let the dog come to me first, especially when I’m in their space. It’s their territory, and I fully respect that! My pups eat like allergy-conscious kings: red meat-free kibble (sensitive tummies!), a splash of wet food for excitement, and daily vitamins to keep their coats shiny and their energy high. They get fed twice a day—7:00 AM sharp and 4:30 PM, just like clockwork. I make sure they get out for potty breaks at least 3–4 times a day, and I’m borderline obsessed with checking their water bowls (fluff equals thirst, especially in warm weather). Before I ever leave the house, I always do a quick scan to make sure there’s nothing they can chew, eat, knock over, or mysteriously destroy while I’m gone. Safety first! When I’m caring for someone else’s fur baby, I go by your rules and routines—but I treat them like my own: with love, patience, and the kind of care you’d expect for a four-legged child (because… they are).

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

Muhammed K.
“I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!”

Julia N.
“Julia is a caring, responsible, and loving person especially with animals. I see how she is with her own dogs and would trust her with mine any day. She watched her neighbors dog for a week this year & went above and beyond, she showed us videos of her helping crate train the dog since the owner warned her that the dog gets aggressive when you get near it while it’s in there. She is such an animal lover and can help the dog in many more ways”
