About: I helped care for the pets in my home starting as a young child. I would walk, feed and play with my pets as well as potty training. I also spent one year working for a dog walking/pet sitting service before my children were born. Now that my children are older, I would love to care for other pets in their home and provide walks for dogs while their parents are away. I have pets and children in my home and am available for dog walking/drop in care most mornings and early afternoons during the week. I can also provide house sitting on weekday and weekend nights. I am happy to provide feeding, play, exercise, pottying, and overnight company to pets when their parents are away. Litter box cleaning and other light house cleaning can be provided as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
“We really appreciated Jenna accepting our short notice request for her to “house sit” our dog Simon for 3 days and nights. She reported no particular problems nor concerns. Jenna related that Simon did fine and she sent us a couple of photos and stated in communication when we checked in. It was nice to see the house just like we left it too ! We were happy with Jenna and would use her again !”

“Annie stayed with our recently adopted dog at our home over a long weekend. She was very communicative throughout the stay and she did a great job with both our dog and home.”

“Erica was thorough in her communication, notes, and care of our dog, Sheba. I appreciated all the messages and clarifications on the details. It certainly gave us peace of mind having Erica care for Sheba for the first time! She provided many wonderful pictures and video, as well as clear reports as to how the visit was going. We are very happy and grateful for the service Erica provided. We would hire her again and also recommend her.”

“Patty is our first choice in rebooking a sitter. She is dependable and attentive to our pups needs. Love that she sends lots of photo updates. We are very comfortable leaving our pup with Patty. She is part of our pack now. :)”

About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the more unique critters! I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. As a proud pet parent to two Great Danes, I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. My top priorities are making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you're away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I work around my kids’ homeschooling schedule. That means I’m home throughout the day and night, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. If your pet is staying with us for boarding, they’ll never be left alone—we’re always home, and your furry friend will be treated like part of the family. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday cuddles, or nighttime check-ins, I have the flexibility to meet your pet’s needs with love and consistency. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment where animals can relax and feel at home—whether I’m visiting your house or welcoming your pet into mine. I follow each pet’s unique routine and take time to understand their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I’m experienced with crates, medications, feeding routines, and even a little light training reinforcement if needed. In our home, your pet will be surrounded by love and never left alone—we’re always home, and your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I live with two gentle Great Danes and two calm, pet-friendly cats, all of whom are well-socialized and respectful of new guests. We keep our environment clean, peaceful, and low-stress to make every pet feel safe and welcome. I’m also happy to go the extra mile—whether that means watering your plants, bringing in packages, or keeping you updated with sweet photo messages. I truly care about your pets and your peace of mind.
“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with unique needs, including reactivity and behavioral challenges. I rescued my Australian Cattle Dog when she was three years old and have spent years training her and learning how to safely and compassionately manage reactivity around other animals and, at times, children. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in reading animal body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating calm, structured environments. I truly love all animals and understand that every pet is different. I've taken care of friends and families pets in the past and I always have the absolute best time! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care while you’re away, making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently in my last semester college, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my days, and I can give animals the attention they deserve. Spending time with furry friends is honestly the best way to spend time between and after class! I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect the rules and preferences set by their owner. I take the time to understand feeding schedules, play habits, and any specific instructions so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for pets.

“We are so grateful to Tanya for taking such good care of our 2 hihuahuas and our indoor/outdoor cat. Our dogs have had a difficult time with prior pet sitters but for Tanya quickly had become trusting and affectionate to her within just a couple of days.
