“Pamela has stayed with Kooper in our home two times now. She’s very trustworthy and dependable, and best of all, we know our baby is getting lots of care and love. Pamela is our first choice in dog sitters and we highly recommend her!”

“Dakota was amazing with my three pups and even managed to keep on still long enough to tahe a pic. I cant even explain how much I appreciate Dakota for caring for my pups. From a last minute request to a lifesaver. Dakota kept me updated on my pups daily and it made me feel like I didn't miss a beat”

“Heidi was great with Kona! We asked her to stay at our house for 3 nights with our lab who has some anxiety issues when left alone. She sent us lots of pictures, was great at communicating throughout the visit, was extremely friendly and left our house just like we left it! Kona seemed super happy and relaxed when we got back which is always a great sign. ☺️ We would definitely recommend Heidi to any family and friends!”

“Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.”

“Sianna was amazing with our dog Jax! She sent daily updates with pictures and responded to messages promptly. She went above and beyond for what we expected and we will definitely be using her again! We cannot recommend Sianna enough to keep your mind at ease while you are away from your pet!”

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
About: I am experienced in all types of pets from rabbits and snakes to large dogs and cows. From exotic to every day I've cared for a wide variety. I am currently work a nine to five weekdays so my schedule is open for afternoons and evenings week days and I am available any time weekends. I have experience in crate training, potty training, and leash training my own dogs and am very compassionate for dogs that might need extra care and attention.

“Very pleased with the quick confirmation of a last minute request. My dogs were very happy and well taken care of when I got home. Cassie kept me updated with pictures and notes about their progress. Will definitely solicit help from her again ?”


About: I’ve had dogs of every kind growing up! Also as a military brat I’ve taken care of dogs in all types of situations and places. Whatever you and your dog needs to feel safe and comfortable I will do! I’m currently out for the summer from college, so I figured pet care would be a great thing for me to do while I’m here! I take my dog for walks, feed him, and play with him everyday! I’ll do whatever you need me to do for your pets, in your house!

About: Hi! I’m Grace, a recent graduate living at home before going to a post-grad program in the fall! I absolutely love all dogs and have had them my entire life, training two of them since they were puppies, and I even brought one with me to college! I’m flexible and happy to help in any way needed! Thank you so much for considering leaving your pups with me, they will be in wonderful care!! As I am a recent graduate, I do not have any other responsibilities than your pups! I’m flexible in this way and can rearrange my schedule in any way needed. I prefer to care for your pups in your own home, so that they can feel comfortable in their own environment. In terms of drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure to work with you to schedule a time where the weather (heat especially) is safe for your dog.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, but I’ve been growing my animal family for 15 years. I have experience with large dogs and cats. I help take care of my parents dog. Feeding, walks, playtime, and most importantly cuddle time are my specialties. I work full time (7am-3pm) but would love you help you out while you are on vacation with overnight stays, weekends, or even stopping in for feeding times. At a clients home I will utilize their equipment, fenced yards, leashes, crates, etc. However the typical care of the pets is, will be used in the care under my watch.
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”

“Audrey took great care of our dog and cat this weekend! The house was left exactly how it was left and the animals were happy! I even received updates & pictures over the weekend of our fur-babies. Thank you, Audrey!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every dog I meet. I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they’re my own. With experience ranging from energetic puppies who need structure and play, to senior dogs who need extra comfort and gentle attention, I know how to meet each dog where they are. I’m attentive to their routines, signals, and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. My goal isn’t just to be a sitter, but a trusted companion for your furry family member. I have a free schedule during the day until the evening and what better way to spend my day then to be with a furry friend In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can feel at ease. I stick closely to their routines—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or downtime—and give them plenty of love and attention. I make sure they get both exercise and enrichment, while also providing cozy rest time so they feel balanced and cared for. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect and follow the routines and rules their pets are already used to. I make sure they feel secure in their own space, keeping everything consistent from feeding schedules to playtime. I also give updates and pictures so owners know their pets are not just cared for, but happy and comfortable while they’re away.
About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy! I work part-time as a mental health therapist, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to stay local. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to care for others while also taking care of myself, so I’m truly present and intentional in the time I spend with your pets. I love creating consistent routines whenever possible—it helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. That means plenty of attention, play, and cuddles (always on their terms), along with keeping up with their regular feeding and routines. I’m attentive to cleanliness and will always make sure any messes are taken care of promptly. I keep a close eye on their health and can provide medication support when needed, always following your instructions and your vet’s orders carefully. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and notes so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very open to discussing safety preferences and expectations to ensure the best experience for both you and your pets.
