About: I've taken care of pets for the majority of my life. From caring for my own furry and feathered family members to watching pets for my neighbors and friends and caring for the facility dogs at my job, I have a second heart for animals. Experience with puppies, elders, high energy working dogs, and dogs with trauma. I'm currently studying for my boards exam to be a physical therapist and working part time with a pretty flexible schedule. Last minute requests available! Care instructions for your pet will be followed as closely as possible. I'll care for you pet and your home as I would my own. Your pet's safety and comfort are my first priority.
“Sonya was excellent with Chewy going above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. Kept me up to date with pictures and videos as well.”
“Alexandra provided great availability and check-ins w photos each visit. Definitely recommend”
“Wendy did a fabulous job watching our two fur babies! Being out of the country I'm always frightened the AC will stop working for some odd reason, but she assured me that the house remained cool the entire time. Located in the same town as me, she could come to the house quickly if needed. The house was clean and tidy just like we left it. We'll definitely use her on our next trip!”
“Great communication, reliable, and thorough! Thanks again.”
“Tucker arrived on time which was very appreciated. He greeted both dogs warmly and they were very excited to see him. I have 2 large breed dogs and Tucker handled them expertly. He praised them for obeying and was very affectionate with them. He took them for a jog as requested and both dogs came back tired in the best way. They now are both taking a nap. I would highly recommend Tucker!!!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs all my life and began working with other families dogs when I was 16. With years of babysitting experience, I’ve developed patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, skills that also make me a great pet sitter! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies needing training to senior dogs requiring gentle care. Just like with children, I ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or following special routines. My experience has taught me how to handle unexpected situations calmly and responsibly, giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away! I will be starting graduate school in the fall so I will have time before/after/between classes or days off to play with and care for your pup! I am very detail oriented and prefer a descriptive set of instructions to ensure I am giving your animals the best and most consistent care possible!
“Erin was so amazing with my cat. He loved her so much. She played with him and took such good care of him while I was away on an extended trip.”
About: When I was little I had three cats, I now have a dog whom I care for. And for the last ten years I have cared for my neighbors cat and dog when they go away. I am a college student with free time on my hands and would love to spend it caring for your pet! I currently work part time and go to school full time, but I usually still have large amounts of time on my hands, and would love to spend it caring for your pet! On walks I make sure your pet gets plenty of time to sniff and fresh air, while following your preferences and avoiding unsafe areas. During drop on visits I will give your pet lots of attention, and give them plenty of food and water while following your instructions closely.
About: I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood and have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m confident caring for playful pups, mellow seniors, and every furry friend in between. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family—with patience, affection, and a watchful eye. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet companionship, or a little extra care, I’ve got it covered! I do work a full-time job as a teacher throughout the school year. Once summer hits I am willing to provide daily or weekly routines any time! I often provide my dogs with long walks, cuddles, playtime, and adventure! I always make sure everything is provided them and love to let my own run around outside all day!
“Deanna was absolutely amazing with Lokina and even my cat come out to say hello (which he never does with strangers.) Loki had such a great fun time on the walks with Deanna. This was my first time using the app, and she walked me through it. Daily pictures and good communication the whole time I was away. She made sure Loki’s food/water bowls were always full and locked up once done. If we go on vacation again 100% I trust her with my babies and recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have a lot of experience with walking, playing, feeding, bathing, etc. My current graduate school schedule is classes on Wednesdays 9-5 and Thursdays 3-8. I am currently very flexible when it comes to pet care and willing to work whenever needed. I have a fenced in yard and 2 goldendoodles at home. I am willing to go on however long walks your dog needs and can even go on runs with them!
“Christine was fantastic!! I knew my kitty was in good care with her. I could tell my kitty was happy and well cared for. Christine jumped in at the last minute to replace a sitter we had a bad experience with, and she followed every instruction, was very communicative, and bonded well with my kitty. Will definitely book her again.”

Marco L.
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing firsthand just how much Marco genuinely cares for animals. Whether it’s going out of his way to greet every dog we see on walks, or taking time to understand each pet’s personality, his love for animals is obvious. He’s responsible, patient, and always makes sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. He’s also great at following routines, sticking to feeding or walking schedules, and communicating clearly—traits that make him a natural fit for pet sitting. I’ve watched him care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and he always treats them like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him!”
Evan K.
“Evan is an wonderful and caring person. He has watched my old lady (a 12 year old Rottweiler) several times and I know she is in good hands whenever she is in his care. She takes medication and has some arthritis problems and Evan not only made sure she got what she needed but also gave me reports so i could relax while I was away. He also understands that she might not be able to move around or go for long walks and made sure to give her attention in a way she can enjoy by sharing his time and love with her in the quiet and relaxed ways she likes best.”

This is our second time having Sherylee care for our cat, Porter. She is always so kind, dependable and communicative. We will always look for Sherylee first when we need a sitter for Porter! ❤️😻
Avital was great my Moonbelle. It was my first time leaving her and was very nervous. Avital reassured me by sending me pictures daily and updating me on her visits. They had a lot of playtime. Thank you so much! Moonbelle and I appreciated having her take care of her while I was away.
