“Kaitlyn took such great care of my two dogs while we were out of town. She was a pro at meeting the needs of my senior girl. She was even willing to stay at our house so our dogs could be comfortable in their own space. Kaitlyn sent lots of photos and updates, and it was so easy to communicate with her before, during, and after her stay. I would definitely recommend her for any of your pet care needs, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I can’t say enough about Brianna! This was a perfect experience for us. We were out of town for our daughter’s wedding and we didn’t have to worry about our furry friends at all. She kept in touch with us with pictures a couple of times a day. The pups looked super happy. She even touched up the house a bit before she left which was totally unexpected! Highly recommend Brianna and we will definitely be booking her for future travel!”
“Emma was the best! I will definitely be using her again. She sent updates and pictures on all the little adventures she took my Stella on. Can’t say enough great things! Highly recommend.”
“Jennifer was awesome. She was so great with Sarge, kept me updated on their goings on, and sent the cutest videos with commentary. Sarge had a great time with Jennifer and we will definitely be calling her again!”
About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.
About: I’ve fostered 11 dogs in my adult life in addition to owning two of my own. I’ve had up to 5 dogs living with me at a time and am one to embrace the chaos! Whether I’m staying with your dog overnight or just dropping by for a visit with them, I can help with potty training, socialization, and even teaching your dog basic commands like sit, down, and stay. My 5 year old mutt is a Canine Good Citizen so I know a little about best practices with training. I’m a firm believer in science backed, positive reinforcement only methods so your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful under my care. If I’m walking your dog I’m not intimidated by poor leash manners and am happy to help work on them during our walks! No matter your needs, I’m here to help! I work from home 4 days a week, only going to the office on Thursdays. I’m available to help out anytime I’m not in the office. If your dog can be left alone on Thursdays from 8am-4:30pm I’m even available to help on Thursdays. I have two dogs who love other dogs in my home who would be available to help with socializing your dog. I’m a big believer in science based, positive reinforcement training only. Your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful when under my care. My 5 year old mutt is very confident and great with showing other dogs (specifically puppies) the ropes.
“I was so lucky to have found Vickie to sit with my two pups while I was on a long trip. I had never left my dogs with anyone before and was so nervous until I met her. She was so kind and met my pups ahead of time to make them comfortable. She was very trustworthy and I knew I could enjoy my trip knowing they were in excellent hands. I would recommend Vickie to anyone and was so thankful that she took such great care of them. She really went above and beyond and sent me updates just to see how they were doing. Thank you Vickie for everything!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. From energetic walks to mealtime routines and play sessions, I handle it all with care and attention. I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. My schedule is limited through the end of August, but starting in September, I’ll have wide-open availability for your pet—whether it’s mornings, afternoons, evenings, or overnights. I’m highly flexible and can adapt to meet your pet’s specific needs, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment at all times. I can’t wait!
About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything
“Nicole was excellent. Our Westie is 14 1/2, mostly deaf and partially blind. She has bladder problems and wear diapers. Nicole did an overnight stay at our house. She sent me pictures and even sent a video and if any questions she would text me. We will definitely book her again. We hated leaving our girl, but Nicole really put our minds at ease while she was there. Thank you Nicole !”
“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”
“Emma was so great. She showed up early and stayed the entire requested time. She took really good care of my baby boy and even brought in a heavy package that was delivered a day early so it wouldn't be sitting outside. She was very communicative and respective of my home. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life, including friends and family members animals. My current occupation is as a kennel assistant, so I have been trained to administer medication, bathe, walk, feed, and take care of animals.

“Hilary, thank you for adopting our pets as your own while we were away for two weeks! We missed our many pets, but were so grateful to know you were thoughtfully and lovingly caring for our motley crew of fur babies (as well as some fish and house plants). The peace of mind was a true gift, and we appreciate you so much!”
