“Kassidy was such a great caregiver for all 4 of my babies. They were very excited to see her which made me feel good. She fed , watered, and pottied them. Including the litter box. She even took trash out. One kitty has to use a fountain to drink out of and it never ran dry. I’d used a private sitter before and recently. They only came 1 out of 4 days and let the motor in fountain burn up. Thx Kassidy for taking great care of them. I loved the pics from each visit.”


“We were gone for over two weeks and Emilee watching our pets was the only reason we could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing everyone was being well taken care of and loved in our absence.”


About: With experience caring for pets of all ages, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m currently only working part time with lenient hours so I’m capable of making any potty or walk schedule work for me. Im home for the summer from college and wanted to make extra cash doing something I enjoyed. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and just the way you left it. I know how important trust is when someone’s caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I've been working in this field since 2013 and love caring for all animals! I graduated vet school in 2022 and with my Masters in Public Health in 2023. I travel a lot for work (mostly in the winter) but I work from home when I'm not traveling and am hoping to get out of the house more! I live in an apartment so I typically will not be able to bring other's pets there. I have years of experience pet sitting in my client's homes where most pets are happiest and most comfortable.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had pets of all kinds growing up. I have a dog (border collie + blue heeler mix) and a cat (Maine coon). I have been pet sitting for four years and have experience with complex diets, nervous and excited animals, and administering medications orally and through injections. I pet sit in my free time. I usually have to ask off work to take care of animals, so two weeks notice is best. My schedule will be more open in August. I always double check locks on all doors to ensure safety for the animals and belongings in the house. I always clean messes made by animals while I am there.

About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.

About: I am a RN and have been a foster fur mama for several years. I have 4 adopted fur babies, Tripp(Havanese)/Kashi(Coton)/Barkley(Lowchen)/Maggie(Maltese), that all came from horrible conditions. I have nurtured these kiddos back to health and watched them go from terrified & malnourished to thriving & living their best life! My fur kids get along great with other dogs! They love to run and play in our fenced back yard, and go on daily walks at the Riverfront. We no longer foster (too hard to not adopt more lol!) So we decided to start pet sitting/walking instead. I believe that our pets are family and they are treated as such with LOTS of love, cuddles and belly rubs! Im pretty flexible and available most always! I work from home so someone is always here with them. If I am gone its usually to do chores and right back. We have a large backyard that is fenced. I have 4 small dogs that love to play and cuddle on the couch! They have their own living room with couch and chairs to lounge on. We also have a spare bedroom that they love to hang out in! Crate available if desired. Mine don't stay in crates but I do have an occasional fur guest that loves their crate. That's totally up to you & your fur baby!

“Amanda was on vacation several weeks ago, my babies would not eat anything. They were not happy at all. Her temporary replacement in no way could compare to Amanda. She is awesome!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Some of our clients even pile up in our bed! We want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible with us as it can already be stressful being separated from family.

About: Grew up in a home of 6 dogs. Love caring and being around dogs. I enjoy going on long walks, and I’m sure your dog does too! I have a lot of patience, and love. Just can’t have my own dog. I don’t have a life after work so thought it would be a great idea to spend time with my neighbor dogs. A lot of my best traits are similar to a dogs: loyal, energetic, hungry, protector. During boarding your dog is welcome to sit on any of my furniture. During walks your dog is welcome to run as fast and far as they want. During potty breaks your dog is welcome to poop/pee anywhere in my yard. I’m free pretty much every night!
