“Sasha is absolutely amazing. She walked my dog, Louis, and was always on time and incredibly reliable. She kept me updated every step of the way and truly took better care of my dog than some of my own family members. She has such a beautiful heart—so compassionate and genuine—and it’s obvious how much she truly loves animals. I have complete peace of mind knowing Louis is with her. Sasha is officially my permanent go-to whenever I’m out of town. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including professional dog daycare and veterinary hospital experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or attention. I’m experienced with exercise, enrichment, feeding, medications, basic training, and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I worked in a veterinary clinic throughout the summer and am now starting school, so my availability is more flexible around my class schedule. I’m unavailable on most Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m willing to work around it from time to time. I’m available most other weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. My veterinary and professional animal-care experience has taught me how to safely handle pets with different temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior, follow care instructions closely, and will keep you updated throughout each visit.

About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs. Additionally, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have experience with many basic care skills. I am familiar with routine care such as feeding routines, walking, bathing, and training. I have ample experience with oral, injectable, and topical medications, and can confidently administer first aid if necessary. Additionally, I am ready to slow down and give extra care to any senior or special needs animal who may need a little more attention. I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures! I currently attend college in another town, so I am not available during the week. But from around 5pm Friday to Sunday, I am prepared to give my full attention to your pets! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home. Whether they are high maintenance or totally chill, I am willing to provide whatever necessary to make sitting as stress-free as possible!

About: As a pet parent who’s often had to travel, I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pet babies behind. I used to feel that little knot in my stomach every time—worrying if they were safe, if they missed me, if they felt lonely. That’s what made me realize how important it is to have someone you can really trust to look after them like family. For me, pets aren’t “just animals”—they’re our babies, our companions, our comfort. I’ve spent over 9 years caring for my own dog and cat, through every stage from energetic puppy and kitten years to the slower, gentler pace of senior life. Along the way, I’ve learned patience, how to give meds without stress, when to offer play and when to just sit quietly together. Every pet is different, and I love figuring out what makes each one happiest. Right now, I’m offering drop-in visits so your pets can stay safe and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playing, belly rubs, or just sitting with them so they don’t feel alone—I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for until you get back. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give your pets the same care, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own. Currently I provide drop-in visits for dogs and cats. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’m always available to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and a designated room for cat boarding. Our house has plenty of space for them to explore and play around as well.

About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs of every shape and size. Between caring for my own dogs, my family’s, and friend’s, I’ve come to be very familiar with their routines, needs, and behavior. My experience with applied behavior analysis lends tremendously to successful training techniques. I take pride in maintaining clean environments, administering meds, and being undeterred by big dogs. My experience as a nanny gives me a unique understanding of working in your most private space. Special instructions are always followed with care and love. I am currently starting my new job as a water safety instructor! My availability may change while I am in training, but I am still open for drop-ins and walks. Unfortunately, due to the needs of my own rescue cat, I am not available to provide overnight boarding services in my residence at this time.

I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have developed a strong understanding of the daily responsibilities involved in caring for dogs and cats. From maintaining feeding schedules and exercise routines to providing companionship, basic grooming, and monitoring their health, I am dedicated to ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and well loved. Taking care of pets is already a natural part of my everyday life. I have 5 pets of my own, so I’m used to making time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and don’t see pet care as a chore. I’m happy to work their routine into my day and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I like to learn their personality and what makes them comfortable so I can give them the care and attention they’re used to. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their home, I make sure they have plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.

About: Hey there! I'm Emma White & I'm an outgoing, goofy pet lover. Since I was little, I've had a special place in my heart for animals. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals & getting to know their individual personalities, routines, & needs. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, frogs, lizards, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens, & goats. I love getting outside, playing, & giving pets plenty of attention. I'm no stranger to nervous or shy pets, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, & building trust at their own pace. I also have personal experience with large breeds, including English Mastiffs & Great Danes (they're secretly just big babies!). I have experience caring for pets with additional needs, including GI issues, allergies, vision or hearing impairments, & special dietary requirements. I'm comfortable following specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, & other care routines. I'm also Animal CPR certified, so I understand how to properly care for unexpected situations. I want you to feel just as comfortable as your pet does, so I provide regular updates & photos to keep you in the loop & give you peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a patient companion, or simply someone reliable to keep them happy, comfortable, & cared for, I'd love the opportunity to meet them! I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home. I’m able to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, & check-ins. I’m also happy to work around a pet’s normal routine & make sure they get the consistency & care they’re used to! I like to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, especially when they’re staying in their own home. Whether sticking to specific feeding times, medications, walks, or other care routines, I focus on not missing any details. During drop-ins, I make sure to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, & companionship rather than simply checking in and leaving. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep things tidy, follow any household instructions, and ensure pets feel comfortable & cared for. You can expect regular updates & photos so you know your pets & home are in good hands.

Ana is absolutely wonderful with Parker. She has been walking him and stopping in to feed him for nearly a year now, and I could not be happier with her. Over time, she has really gotten to know Parker’s personality, his quirks, and what makes him happy. I especially love reading her updates when I am away. It is obvious that she genuinely cares about his well-being and happiness, and that means so much to me. Knowing Parker is not only being taken care of, but is getting attention, affection, and someone who truly understands him, gives me so much peace of mind when I cannot be there. I am incredibly grateful to have found Ana and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
