“Elissa has been so amazing to work with. She has been very dependable and very thorough in her care and communication! She gives very intentional and sweet messages with her check-ins!”
“Kristen is the best cat sitter! This is the 4th time we've used her and humans and kitty are very happy with her care. Will definitely continue to request her services whenever we go out of town!”
“This is my third time utilizing Leslie to watch my cats and will have another coming up shortly. She is wonderful and I cannot tell that my kitties enjoy their time with her. I appreciate the time and attention she gives them. I highly recommend Leslie!!”
About: Hi, My name is Sierra! I love animals because they're loyal and the best reason to get up in the mornings! I have never met a dog I didn't immediately fall in love with. I have watch my friends and family pets when they have gone out of town. I could never discriminate against dogs or cats, but cats do hold a special place in my heart because I have always one or several growing up. You are constantly learning when taking care of animals, but most importantly they teach us to love unconditionally. I couldn't imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends, so I can't wait to meet you and your pet family! I'm currently in between jobs so I have more time to dedicate to checking in your fur babies and provide the best boops around town! I currently live in a house with a fenced in yard but will never leave them unattended while chasing squirrels, and getting much needed exercise.
“Olivia was awesome!! She came over very last minute when I was in a bind! She stayed with my fur baby for 30 minutes! She let home outside to play in the yard, fed him, and gave him loves! I highly recommend Olivia!”
“Halie did a wonderful job dropping in on our diabetic cat twice per day (feeding, injecting, and giving our cat her love and attention). We're so glad we found her, and will not hesitate to use her again!”
About: Introducing… Freida’s Adventures and More!!! Right now I’m offering dog walks and drop-in visits, with in-home boarding coming soon! I’m all about giving pups the best days possible, with lots of love, fun, and just enough activity to make sure they’re happily tired by bedtime. Dogs bring so much joy into our lives, and I love giving that right back to them. I’ve been a dog mom pretty much my whole life and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for over 15 years. Whether we’re taking a casual walk, hanging out for belly rubs, or working on helping a reactive pup feel more confident, I bring patience, kindness, and a good sense of humor every time. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Right now I’m raising a Rottweiler puppy named Freida (my big goofy sidekick) along with our rescue mix, Fenny. I also have experience with reactive pups, senior dogs, and dogs who need meds or a little extra support. My background in social services as a case manager helps me stay calm and communicative, even when pups (or their humans!) are feeling a little anxious. I really value the trust pet parents put in me and love working together to make sure their dog feels safe, loved, and understood. If you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your dog like family, keep you updated with tons of photos, and maybe even narrate their day like a dramatic movie trailer… I’m your person! :) I work from home and determine my own schedule, so I will be able to care for your pet full time and meet their needs during their stay. I am also flexible when it comes to drop in visits and dog walking needs. For dog walking and drop in visits, I prefer to meet in person, in a public place followed up with a short in home visit if it is needed to learn about your dog in their own environment. For dog boarding, I have two friendly and well socialized, crate trained dogs and two cats. My home is "puppy-proofed", but I would appreciate knowing if your pet has any behavior risk areas that we can plan for. My cats are separated into another space of my home that dogs will not have access to. I am planning on boarding one dog at a time, so your dog will get plenty of attention and love. Your dog will be supervised at all times when I am home and separated in different areas or their crate (if they're crate trained) when I am not home. Let’s schedule a meet and greet with our dogs to meet yours to make sure we are a good fit for all!
“Sue was incredible with my cat. I was at ease during my entire trip knowing that she was in such great care. She would send updates and pictures from each visit and was attentive and caring to my cat’s needs, provided her with love, pets, playtime, treats. Will definitely book her again and I know my cat already loves her!!!”
“Brooke was communicative, kind, and professional! We appreciated having her with our cat Mac while we were away visiting friends. It brought us peace of mind to know he had her checking in!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I’ve always loved caring for dogs and now spend my days walking, playing, and checking in on them (plus a few cats of my own!) I currently work part time so I’m super flexible! I can do quick drop ins in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings most days- weekends too. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your usual routine — feeding, letting them out, refreshing water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: As a passionate dog lover with years of experience, I provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry friends. My personalized approach includes tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. I treat every dog like family, giving them the attention and care they deserve! I am available for boarding over the weekends. I am also available for pet sitting and dog walking on weekdays after 4pm! I am flexible with boarding for three and four day weekends upon request. I have a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby company and a fenced in yard for your dog to run free and play in. I have a lot of crate training experience and if you prefer, I can crate your pet according to your schedule. I also have a puppy play pen available. I keep a very clean and dog safe home, and have complimentary treats upon request.
About: I have taken care of friends and families pets since I was about 9 years old, my first experience was with my grandmother’s cats when she went on vacations my mom would drive me to her house and I’d look after her kitties. Ever since that experience I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and as I got older and was learning more about them this passion only grew with me. I have now taken care of all kinds of pets from tarantulas to bearded dragons and have cherished every one. I currently have two lovely dogs, Ruby a 3 year old Cockapoo and Blossom an eight year old Pomeranian mix. I currently work from home so I am available most of the time though I may have a few times during the week in the evenings where I may not be available. I am flexible with enough notice and will be happy to try to accommodate to your pets needs! I detailed briefly I may be unavailable a few times out of the week in the evenings, usually two or three times a week. With enough notice I am able to make it work but if that isn’t possible I will let you know as soon as possible. I work from home so I am available usually in the mornings and afternoons for walks and if needed house sitting. I have previously house say for friends who have cats, dogs and other pets. As long as you let me know your pets needs I am happy to make it happen! I have experience with dogs of all ages as well as pets who need specific routines, administering medicine or special food processes. I am able to follow your instructions and my priority is your pets comfort always.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded by the love of animals, from dogs and cats, to goats and chickens! I have always been passionate and loved caring for every animal and catering towards their specific needs. I have experience with overnight pet/house sitting, providing care for multiple pets in a household, working with senior pets, and pets with health issues/allergies. I value working with my clients and their pets to provide quality service and to ensure a happy healthy experience! I am currently working part time, but other than that-I am completely free and flexible! I have reliable transportation, and available to travel to accommodate different locations for my clients. Every pet is uniquely different, with varying routines, diets, exercises, and other needs. It’s important that I familiarize myself with each pet so I am able to meet their specific needs. I enjoy chatting with clients beforehand to understand their pets and routines so that I can provide the best care possible.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two of my own who I’ve cared for since they were puppies. I also have experience helping friends by walking and sitting for their dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable who treats pets like family. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs and company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat your dog the same way I do my own — with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I already build my days around caring for my two dogs, so adding pet sitting and walks fits naturally into my routine. Every morning and evening, I take them out for walks, playtime, and meals, and I love spending time outdoors with them. I also have flexibility in my schedule to stop in for drop-in visits, go on longer walks, or provide extra attention when pets need it. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, it’s easy for me to extend that same care to your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe in following their established routines as closely as possible — feeding schedules, walks, medications, and favorite playtime activities. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I would make sure they’re not only cared for but also feel loved and relaxed until their family returns.
About: I’ve always been very passionate towards animals. I’ve volunteered for a shelter and I used to work at a pet store with animals every single day! I am working currently part-time so depending on my schedule for the week I will be able to help you take care of your fur baby! 🐾 I am used to having escape artists so I always make sure no one runs out the door! I am also comfortable using crates or kennels! Just let me know if your fur baby likes to plan their escapes when scheduling! 😊
