“So far we’ve has 2 visits done in the same day because our 2 dogs are elderly and need lots of potty breaks. One of our pups takes a little longer to get used to new people, but Jill has been very patient and is making progress!”


“Amanda is a great sitter and was very good to my senior dog and rabbit! I loved that she sends pictures and updates after every check-in and even cleaned up the messes my elderly dog makes with no complaints! I felt very confident my animals were safe and well cared for in her hands 😊🐾🐶❤️”


“Melissa is fantastic with our Millie! She has been doing drop-ins for several weeks now and is very reliable. Great communication, takes our girl for walks, and always shares pictures and a brief write up of the visit. We are lucky to have her and appreciate what she does!”


“Charlotte was punctual, attentive and excellent with our pets. She provided real time updates and photos which were so very appreciated. Her drop in services turned out to be a much better alternative to boarding our dogs. Charlotte really left an impression on us and we hope to use her again soon! Highly recommend!”



“Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty crew. I really appreciate all the play time you give them, and wonderful extras like taking out the trash, bringing in mail and leaving a sweet card and treats gift. I could not be more delighted and the cats look forward to seeing you again next month!”


About: hello! My name is Michelle. I have had dogs growing up, and we have many dogs amongst our family and friends! I have taken care of our family's dogs when their people are out of town and have house/pet sat for some of our friends as well. We have some older pets in the family, so when they are in my care, I give out their medications and ensure they are eating and drinking as they should. I love all furry personalities from fluffy couch potatoes to zooming bundles of energy! I am a full time RN. I work 3 12 hour shifts overnight, so my daytime is open for furry friends. Having 4 days off a week also allows me plenty of extra time to spend with your fluffy loved ones. I do not provide in home services in my own home for my clients. However, I aim to provide the most professional care for my clients in their homes. I believe strongly in respect, mindfulness, and attention to detail when it comes to my work. When going to a client's home, respect for my client's pets and property will be my top priority.

“Morgan is a gem! She took excellent care of my babies while I was away and sent lots of adorable photos. I didn't worry about them at all, knowing they were in good hands.”


“Very friendly. Showed up on time and gave the extra effort to care for my four energetic dogs and elderly diabetic cat. Communicated very well and responds quickly. Already have her scheduled again. Dogs and cat loved her!”


About: I've owned dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a true passion. What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from affectionate Golden Retrievers and gentle Great Pyrenees to spunky Dachshunds and high-energy Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs. I have experience with basic training, including leash skills and potty training for puppies, and I’m also confident caring for senior dogs, including administering medication and adjusting routines to keep them comfortable. I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full-time, but I’m available for morning visits and anytime after 3 PM on weekdays. I also have flexibility on weekends for walks, check-ins, or extended care. Plus, I regularly get work-from-home days, which opens up my availability during the day for more flexible scheduling. I always make sure each pet gets the attention and time they deserve. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, which helps keep them comfortable and relaxed in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, and I always make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs, so they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. If a pet does come to my home for a visit, I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. My home is pet-friendly (I do have a golden retriever) and I treat every animal like part of the family—whether I'm visiting them or welcoming them into my space.

“This was my first time using this service and Beverly was amazing! Sent pictures and followed the instructions I gave, I had one less worry while I was out of town. She will definitely have a repeat client because I will definitely book her again!”


About: I grew up with pets since I was a baby. I have learned throughout the years how to care and love them differently. I currently own dogs, cats, chickens and birds which I love all so much. I love showing love and comfort to every animal that crosses my path! I would be very appreciative to make your pet feel more loved and comfortable than they already are. I’m working a part time which allows me to care for your pet more often than not. I am almost always available for your pet when needed. I have learned every dog/cat is different and have different needs. I am willing to learn new things. But I can safely put your pet in crates and give them their meds safely!

“Faith was really great to drop in on my pups in the afternoon and then feed them in the evening so that we could spend all day at a festival downtown. She was very responsive to the request and for a meet and greet, with a quick turnaround. Faith is a very pleasant person and it's easy to see that she loves dogs and that they love her.”


About: I was born into an animal-loving family, taking care of all kinds of animals from a very young age. I've always enjoyed walking mine and friends/families dogs, and I much more prefer the company of my furry friends. My baby boy XL-Bully/Aussie has been part of my family for ten years now, having seen all the little shenanigans they can get into, and I’m still loving it! I can administer oral medication however the pup parent would like and can follow any schedule your pet is accustomed to, to the best of my ability! Senior dogs are one of my favorites, and I gladly work around their limitations. I'm a part time day and night shift worker, able to come to and stay in your home directly! Day shifts I am available before 11am and after 4pm, night shifts I am available before 4-5pm and after 10pm-12:30am. Off days I am available the entire day. I will gladly keep you updated on all parts of my schedule on the days I care for your pets, including: arrival at your home, departure from your home, my work schedule per day, when (if applicable) fed, and any other updates regarding your pet. I will gladly walk any dog no matter the size, and can crate your dog upon request! When staying overnight in a clients home, I am easily awoken in case of emergency and will always put your animals safety first. I will frequently be in contact with you and give updates on your pet, photos gladly included!

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life, including babies and seniors. I believe that pets are an essential part of the family, and your pet will be treated as I treat my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to give your babies the attention they deserve. Plenty of time for outdoor or indoor activity. I have a safe home, cat and dog friendly, large backyard and a neighborhood with sidewalks for walking. Plenty of space to play and house a crate or bed.

“Kyle (and family) were great to work with. We were very thankful that they could show up for us on such short notice. The daily pics were really nice to see and everyone was all smiles!”


About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for 10 years and in a pet store for 4, where I assisted with basic training like commands and crate work. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special attention and medication. I’m also comfortable with all breeds and sizes (including my past 150 lb dog!). Whether your pet needs energetic walks or quiet companionship, I provide loving, reliable care on a short notice. I have stepped away from the vets office due to becoming a teacher, but would love to spend quality time with your best friend! I’m a teacher, meaning I’m available for all of your petcare outside of school hours! Afternoons, weekends, holidays? I’m free! Please reach out for more information. My husband and I have always said that our furbabies are our kids as well, so I understand the importance of keeping your loved one safe! For boarding at my home- I have two dogs and two kids at home, so your fur baby will have endless opportunities for play! I have experience with crate training, so I am able to crate my dogs (or yours!) if needed/preferred.

“Maggie has been fantastic! We did a meet n greet & a drop in visit both of which went great. We are looking forward to having her stay with our doggos for an extended family vacation very soon !”


About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I had a Great Pyrenees until I was 15, and I still have a Golden Doodle and two cats. I also have taken care of small fish. My mom owned her own pet-sitting business for four years, so I’ve also learned the ins and outs of pet care! I’m currently working part-time and taking online summer classes, so I’m available for most of the week anytime during the day unless I’m scheduled. I work at a breakfast restaurant, so I can help before and after my shifts (7:30 am - 3:30 pm)! I wake up early to feed my pets and let my dog out in our fenced in yard to use the bathroom! I also give them love and attention and walk my dog throughout the week. I change the litter box when necessary, bathe my dog, and am willing to do whatever needed to care for your pets!
