“I know my pups are well cared for when we book with Kimberly! We’ve scheduled with her a few times now and each time she’s been kind, friendly and dependable. She’s our go to when we need help caring for our fur babies.”


“We’ve been using Penny for a while and she’s the best! I’ve even requested her super last minute and she always pulls through. Our pup loves her and she always takes the best pictures!”


About: I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I wasn’t able to have my own growing up so I fixed this by dog sitting for anyone and everyone who would let me. In college there were months where I had a different dog every weekend. My dream has always been to have a house full of fur babies. I currently work full time in healthcare and am very comfortable with medications and treating illnesses. As I work full time I am only available on weekends. I am available to day care or overnight stays. I have extra kennels available. My dog Finn and I always go on a long walk in the mornings. I have a an open concept house with fenced in yard where the dogs can go and play. My neighborhood is quiet with lots of streets to go walking on. There are always other neighbors out walking their dogs. I have extra kennels available if needed. I do allow dogs on my furniture and bed.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a very young girl. I now have my own family and I still love animals of all kinds and have a special love for dogs. I have had dogs from puppies up until their senior years and have had experience caring for the needs of all ages. We love to travel also and understand wanting to know your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you are away! I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom and my husband works from home so your pets will often have someone with them to keep them company and love on them. We have a fenced in backyard with grass, trees, and access from their own dog door! Plenty of room to run, play, or enjoy the sunshine in. We have space indoors for a crate and prefer to crate your dog(s) at bedtime.

“Brooke has been a life saver! I just started working away from home and has been so great with Hound. Her communication is fantastic and I know my pup is in good hands with her. I would recommend her to anyone!”


About: With over 20 years of experience in handling and training dogs, including 10 years as a military dog handler and 10 years in government dog handling and supervision, I bring unmatched expertise to caring for your pets. As a lifelong pet owner of both cats and dogs, I understand the importance of trust and reliability. Count on me to provide dependable, professional care for your furry companions. I’m a full-time employee with a 6 AM–2 PM, Monday–Friday schedule. I am available for house sitting on weekends and basic pet care in the evenings. I’m experienced in diverse dog care techniques and adaptable to your pet’s specific needs. I offer routine on-leash walks upon request and am skilled in managing various dog temperaments, ensuring a healthy and comfortable environment for your pet.

About: My family and I are crazy about dogs. You will not have to worry about your pet getting love! They will enjoy family time daily, whether we are in front of the tv, playing games, or chatting on the couch. There will always be a free hand to hug a dog! We've had dogs in our household for about 25 years. We are careful with what they eat, and don't keep food out for them to graze during the day. They also don't eat from the dinner table. They enjoy our large, fenced-in yard, but are primarily indoor dogs, especially in the heat. They are free to roam most of the first floor in our home, but are kenneled when we are away. We also have experience in giving dogs medicine, from ear drops, eye drops, to antibiotics. Whether your dog likes a lot of human contact, or would prefer some alone time, they will get what they need here.

“Kelly was great! She took care of a four of our kitties while we were gone in a quick weekend trip. She took care of them per our instructions and everything was in order when we returned. Gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.”



“Lauryn is my go-to sitter for checking in on my cat while I’m out of town. She takes such great care of him, is super communicative, and sends allll the photos to help me miss him a little less ☺️”


About: I have had dogs my whole life. I’m committed to each individual dog’s need, I’ve trained my own dogs, flexible schedule I might be available for last minute booking, give it a try. Great space for your puppy. Currently my schedule is available to be fully committed to pet care until September, contact me for last minute booking don’t even think on holding that thought back. I have a designated open space for the dogs, spacious and safe porch, dog area for their needs available, and big nature area for long walks..

About: I believe that every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best possible care. With experience in training puppies and senior pet care, I go beyond the basics of feeding and walking. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn their first commands or providing special care for senior pets with mobility challenges, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and secure. I take the time to build strong bonds with each pet, offering them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. My approach is not just about sitting—it’s about enriching their lives while you’re away, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I also have experience managing medical needs for pets who require medication, ensuring that your pet receives the proper treatment with kindness and care. Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my top priority, and I treat them like family. I am a single mom and van lifer and becoming a full-time pet sitter has been a dream come true because it’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals, the flexibility I need as a mom, and my unique lifestyle. Pet sitting fits into my schedule in such a special way—it allows me to do what I love, while still being there for my son, who shares my deep love for animals. Living the van life gives me the freedom to set my own hours, which means I can be available to care for your pets at the times that work best for them—and for me. Whether I’m parked somewhere new or exploring familiar spots, I can always make sure your pets are getting the love, care, and attention they need while you’re away. And the best part? My son is always by my side, helping me with the pets and learning from every experience. He adores animals just as much as I do, so we make a great team. When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space and your furry family members with the utmost respect, safety, and love. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets and your home. That’s why I go the extra mile to create a safe and secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. As a house sitter, I ensure your home is maintained just as you left it, with a special focus on keeping everything tidy and secure. I follow your instructions to the letter and am always mindful of your pet’s routine and any specific needs they may have. Your pet’s safety is my top priority, so I make sure to lock doors, close windows, and take any extra precautions to keep them safe. I also take the time to create a calm and comfortable environment for them, so they feel loved and at ease in your absence. As a dog walker, I am very aware of your dog’s temperament and needs. I choose safe walking routes, always keep an eye out for potential hazards, and adapt the walk to your pet’s pace and comfort. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I want your dog to feel safe and happy during every walk. I keep your pet on a leash or harness, and if they have any special instructions, I make sure to follow them carefully. As a drop-in sitter, I focus on providing one-on-one attention, whether that’s feeding, playing, or just cuddling. I take the time to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for, following your guidelines for feeding, medications, and any other special instructions. I send you updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands, and that their emotional and physical needs are being met. Whether I’m house sitting, walking, or doing drop-in visits, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and loved in their own environment. I understand how much trust it takes to allow someone into your home and care for your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I promise to give your pet the same care and attention I give my own, and ensure they feel like a part of our family while you’re away.

I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and experienced with everything from basic care to administering medications. My goal is to give pets a stress-free, comforting experience while keeping you updated and worry-free. I'm currently studying for my exams and only working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies! I am available 7 days a week, from 10am-9pm.

I have a full time job but it doesn't stop me from being the best of myself after 6 and Saturday and Sunday whatever I am available also to go to the house and take care of them As you can see, I have very well behaved and super trained dogs, and I also have experience and training skills.

I am bilingual.

About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.
