“Vicky was excellent! Our cats really loved her and she sent us pictures every day. We knew our fur babies were in great hands and we will absolutely call on Vicky first next time we need help taking care of our Felix and Leia. Thank you Vicky!”


About: I am an attorney with a love for animals. My two cats are my entire world and I know how it important it is that they receive the best care possible. I grew up around dogs and cats but also had hamsters, tarantulas, turtles, fish, and frogs. I am a lover of anything furry, feathered, or scalely!! I have a flexible work schedule and can make most things work depending on your pets unique needs and routine. I am comfortable administering medication. I am not open to boarding but am comfortable doing check-ins on your companion as needed. I am committed to providing the best possible care to your family member.
About: I've been taking care of dog since I was 10 i grew up with small and big dogs all the way from chihuahuas to great Danes i have been dog sitting dog since I was ten from my family member from feeding them and walking them to bathing them i absolutely love all dogs and can't wait to meet yours!!! I am currently not working anywhere else so am free any day anytime and if that were to change you will be the first to know 🙂 I currently have a Great Dane of my own who i saved from a abusive home she is definitely my baby and I know how hard it is having to leave them at home or trusting someone else with our furry family and I can't wait to share my love for animals with yours
“I cannot say enough good things about John & Emily - they were fantastic! During our vacation they took such great care of our pets and our home - highly recommend them. They are kind, dependable and will provide exemplary care for your loved pets.”

About: You know what I like about people? Their dogs. While it's not "formal' I do have all the experience of someone who has grown up with pets their entire lives. Mostly (big) dogs but also cats, ducks, chickens, geese, donkey, parakeet, ferrets, several rats (my fav!), turtles, and fish. So as long as it's not a bug I'm totally into it! 🙂 I am capable of bathing, nail clipping, brushing teeth, cleaning ears, etc. I have 2 children. One school age, the other is a year. My days are spent caring for them. My oldest is about to start school for the year so I will have plenty of extra time. We love animals and have 2 dogs of our own. Learning how to care for and RESPECT our animal friends is very important to us. Setting boundaries and learning what behaviors are acceptable and which are not is an important part of teaching children about and how to care for pets.
“It was so nice to know that Lexie was reliable when I was out of the country. Her communication is excellent and it is evident that she cares about your pets as is they were her own. I will definitely be rebooking with her!”

About: I’ve actually been pet sitting for years and have volunteer experience with the ASPCA. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs. We love all pets though I’ve even pet sat lizards snakes and cats. My schedule is pretty flexible I work remotely as a contractor for a big company Monday through Friday. Although I’d prefer daytime bookings let me know what you’re needing My dogs eat chicken free food cause our pug is allergic. Mushu’s special care is we wipe his wrinkles & ears daily with a weekly bath. Buddy is a tank who can eat anything but he needs his paws trimmed once a month. Buddy deals with anxiety from being a sheepdog with no sheep so he has lots of toys and an occasional cbd treat.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child, my passion for animals encouraged me to pursue a career working with animals. In recent years I have worked animal husbandry caring for domestic pets, exotic big cats, wolves, snakes, birds and more. I am comfortable working with all sizes of dogs and as well as other species. I have 5 years vet tech experience so can help with medical issues and medications as needed. I am fully available except when I’m out of town helping my sick father (usually a week each month). I can check in as frequently or long as you need, but I do have an older 30lb (dog friendly) pup who needs medications twice daily and I am the only one that can provide those to him. If he cannot be with me while providing other pets care then I will need to return to him once morning and evening to ensure he is taken care of. Can stay overnight preferably only one night at a time so I can return to my pets. I have recently moved so no longer have a fenced yard, but have a large home with dog runs on trees in the backyard. I have an easy going 30lb Pomeranian mutt named Teddy. My dog is very easy to get along with other dogs, as I have fostered and watched other animals numerous times in the years of me having him. I watch my brother’s pitbull mix named Hercules on a regular basis as well. I do have cats so would prefer if they were used to them, but have an area of my home doggy gated off so they can feel safe when other pets visit my home.
About: I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their unique needs. I have experience with puppy training (potty, crate, and leash basics) and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience or medication support. I also provide regular updates so you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. I am working full time but will be able to tend to your animals within my given availability! Your animal will be in great hands When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate time, and any training reinforcement — so the transition feels smooth and stress-free. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine. I stick to detailed care instructions, provide plenty of attention and exercise, keep litter boxes or yards clean, and send regular updates with photos. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and cared for just like you would at home.
About: I have experience pet sitting since I was 14! I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals. I can give meds if your fur child needs that care. We have 2 dogs and a cat all good with other dogs! I am college student so I just have class and then I’m home for the day. We have 2 dogs and a cat who are very active. We have a good exercise routines for them. We have 2 dogs you love other dogs and a cat who also loves to play with everyone. We our in an apartment but we go out for potty breaks and exercise frequently!
