“Ellie stayed to care of our pup when we had to travel out of town for a couple of days. She reached our place on time, and gave us regular updates about our pup and shared pictures. It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with a dog sitter and Ellie did an excellent job taking care of our pup. We highly recommend her as she is very good with dogs and dependable.”

About: My current crew: a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents*, and reptiles*, and I provide gentle, attentive care for animals of all kinds. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can offer a consistent, calm presence. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs * Hosting female dogs tends to be the best fit for our home and routines in this season, so for now, I’m only accepting female pups. Thanks for your understanding—I’m excited to meet your girl! I have an old-time Scotch Collie, age four. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup—if your dog enjoys playtime, mine will be thrilled. If your dog is older or more reserved, I have an open-concept/split level house that I gate off to provide different spaces for dogs to decompress or have their own, dedicated area while still being a part of the family. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a fenced off area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. Your dog won’t scare my cats—in fact, they may become friends. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. They’re actually so mellow and I don’t know why, they’re just weird. When a new animal arrives, they’ll investigate, decide whether it’s worth their attention, and then go take a nap. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles on their terms. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had six pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!) I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve even ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too! While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey animals if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my routine. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are a natural part of our daily rhythm here, and I love incorporating their care into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy. I follow your pet’s routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, medication, or exercise—and I’m always happy to check in with updates. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’ll keep your pet’s world feeling familiar and low-stress until you’re home again.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits. We love to walk outside and can easily do solo walks or accompanied walks with your pet. Please let me know any specific details about your pet as we are happy to accommodate. I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!

“Dawn took care of our 2 cats, and our house for 8 days and did a fantastic job. Our cats were given lot's of attention and playtime. Everything ran smoothly while we were away. Highly recommended and we will be hiring Dawn in the future.”

“Can’t say enough wonderful things about Brianna! She took excellent care of our two dogs and our house while we were gone. I felt so confident leaving knowing she was taking care of our dogs and I didn’t worry about them at all. She provides great updates and treats your pets as if they were her own!”

About: I have been around animals since I was born! I currently have a mini goldendoodle and she LOVES other animals and people! I live in a house with plenty of room to run around! I’d love to help take care of your pet whenever you need it! I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can make accommodations and plan ahead of time to make sure everything works out! I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around and play! My dog, Lenni, loves to play and is a great fur friend. On days I take care of your pet, I will make sure to take them outside, play with them, and take them on walks! There is also one other dog and 2 cats. All are very friendly and get along great with other animals!

“Madelaine was a total savior! We needed last minute care for our sweet Great Dane, Phoebe. Madelaine was responsive and super flexible with Phoebe's schedule. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I got my first dog - a golden retriever - on my golden birthday when I turned 3, and have owned a dog every year since. I truly believe they’re like family! I work from home and go on walks often throughout the day! We’re a huge dog family so it would be a treat to be able to walk with some dogs as well! My daughter also LOVES dogs. I really ensure that I’m thoroughly reading the care instructions. I know that every dog is different, and for safety (and their own comfort) it’s best to stay strict to the instructions.

“Wonderful! Excited to have her back again!”

Stacy K.

“Gabby watched Winston (in-house) while my family was away for spring break. Winston is a high drive vizsla and can be quite a shock to people that aren't use to their relentlessness and lack of recognition of personal space. After meeting Gabby we knew Winston would be in good hands though. Gabby sent us updates (including pictures) and was quick to respond when we check-in. If you need someone to watch your pup, we definitely recommend Gabby!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve always found joy and comfort in their company. In high school, I worked at a boutique dog resort and spa called Woofington, where I cared for dogs daily, from feeding and walking to giving them a little pampering. Most recently, I spent three years living abroad in Sweden, where I continued to walk and care for dogs for friends and local families. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs a good run or a senior dog who just wants some company and a gentle stroll, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend! I’m currently in between jobs after my recent return from living abroad! I’m very flexible in the immediate future to help however you may need! Being around dogs my whole life I’m very comfortable with dogs and reading their body language to determine their comfort levels. I’m only interested in coming into my clients’ homes to care for their pets to ensure they’re most comfortable!

“Riley is very friendly and responsible, and we will hire her again in the future, highly recommend her.”
