“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”


“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”


“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”


“Mia is so sweet! She has a calming presence and she loves animals. She took good care of our pets and our house. She even was so kind and helpful when our dogs wouldn’t eat for her, she made scrambled eggs for them! We’d definitely book with Mia again❤️”


“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”


About: I am a loving dog-mom that has lived with pets my entire life. I have a genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have two bulldog-lab mixes that I adore (6 year, 1 year). I don’t just “watch” pets—I like to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Here are a few things that make me unique: *I’m patient, consistent, and reliable. *I’m experienced in caring for older pets who may need medication or extra comfort. I’m attentive to signs of discomfort and always prioritize their well-being. *I’m skilled at reading animal body language and adjusting my approach; whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between. *I maintain feeding, walking, and play schedules to reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. *I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know your pet is in the best care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I treat every pet like family. I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so weekends are ideal for pet sitting, walking, and feeding—they give me the time and energy to fully focus on your pet’s needs. However, weeknights are flexible for me with advance notice. That said, I’m also available on weeknight evenings and can be flexible with scheduling for walks, drop-ins, or feeding visits after work. I make it a priority to ensure pets feel cared for and comfortable, even with a busy schedule. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a weekday evening check-in, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits your pet’s routine. I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my home, I am the dog-mom of two wonderful bulldog-lab mixes. They are 6 and 1 year, and require a lot of my attention. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel secure. I follow my dogs' usual routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time—to minimize stress. I also make sure they have access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, and lots of affection. If a pet has special needs or preferences, I’m happy to accommodate them. In your home, I treat your home with respect and your pet like family. I stick to their established routine, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications or special care. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved in their familiar surroundings. I also provide regular updates, so you know how things are going while you’re away. I dog sit numerous times for my colleague's senior dog while their family is on vacation and am very reliable. Whether it’s in my space or yours, I aim to make every pet feel at ease and cared for like they’re my own.

“I wanted to share my positive experience with Caylin. She took excellent care of our cats while we were on vacation. We really appreciated her attentiveness and the fact that she sent multiple pictures each day, which truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also encountered a travel delay, and she was very flexible and accommodating, which was incredibly helpful. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


“Sydney was amazing! She impressed me first by being early for our meet and greet appointment, which is always a good start! She watched my 3 fur babies overnight and she did a wonderful job with them. Took excellent care of our home and picked up after herself (she stayed over). I couldn't be more pleased with choosing her to care for our home and our fur babies. I will def. be hiring her again.”


“Hannah was once again amazing and took great care of our dogs while we were away. She did great with providing updates and sent lots of pics to make being away from our pups a little easier 😊”

About: I care for our special needs Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Briggs who has anxiety, so I’m very attuned to a pet’s body language and emotional needs. I also love our 2 year old cat and have looked after animals of all ages throughout my life—dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, hamsters, and fish—each one unique and loved. To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. After retiring from a 26-year career, I’m now happily focusing on my passion: pet sitting and animal care. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I look forward to meeting new furry friends each week! I tailor my care to fit your pet’s unique needs—whether that means walking, playing, feeding, or simply providing comfort and companionship. I always follow your instructions closely and respectfully, and I’m happy to send regular photo updates for peace of mind. Most importantly, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

“Another great sitter experience with Alex! Especially the first night, our ceiling had started to leak and she was very proactive on letting us know, accommodating when we had someone come look at it etc. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos of Hank which we loved! She left the house clean and Hank very happy! Couldn’t recommend her enough!”


“Krystin is very reliable, communicative, and sends pictures to keep us connected with Bella. She is helping us out for an extended time due to family medical issues, it is great knowing that our dog is being taken care of and being loved in our absence.”


About: Growing up in a household filled with furry, feathered, and four-legged family members has given me a deep appreciation for the unique personality of every pet. From dogs and cats to birds, I’ve learned that each animal has their own special way of showing love and their own favorite ways to have fun. What I love most about dogs is their incredible energy and enthusiasm for life! I’m passionate about helping dogs burn off that boundless energy in ways that make them happiest. Whether your pup is a social butterfly who craves human attention and belly rubs, a fetch fanatic who could chase tennis balls for hours, or an explorer who wants to sniff every interesting smell on the block, I take the time to understand what makes each dog’s tail wag. I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog, and I’m committed to making sure your furry friend gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and attention they need to feel their best. Every walk is an adventure, every play session is tailored to your dog’s preferences, and every interaction comes with plenty of love and patience. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I can’t wait to be their new favorite playmate!

Feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs - I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pup happy and gives you peace of mind!

Your home, your rules - I’ll follow all your specific instructions for feeding schedules, favorite toys, special routines, and any other care preferences to make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals for neighbors, family friends, and complete strangers for many years. I have multiple animals in my classroom at school including guinea pigs, rabbits, a bearded dragon, and turtles. I also have several dogs and cats of my own! I am an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. I like to assist families during the summer as well as during the week in the evenings or during longer holiday breaks and weekends. I have a lot of flexibility outside of my normal working hours of 7am-3pm during the school year. I love to ensure that I am comfortable taking your furry family members for a walk either on a loose leash or with a harness. I also enjoy working with families who have invisible fences or fenced in yards which allow the pets to run freely! I am comfortably crating dogs as needed for safety reasons.

“Hailee was wonderful! Came over to meet the pups and was very personable. Gave us some ease leaving our fur babies for the weekend and returned to a house in great shape with happy dogs. Will definitely be booking her again and referring her to anyone that asks!”


“Kianna was a wonderful rover. She provided daily picture updates and took great care of the house while she stayed with our cats. We would definitely rebook Kianna in the future!”

“Kelsie is an amazing sitter. she kept my updated with daily photos and texts about my dog. she also kept us informed about anything happening with our home such as a large wind storm blowing off a few of our roof shingles. i would highly reccomend Kelsie”
