“Sydney was amazing! She was available on short notice and treated our dog like her own when we went out of town for a long weekend! She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos. Highly recommend her for pet sitting!”

“Jennifer was an excellent sitter for Bruce! She scheduled a meet and greet several days before her first time with Bruce. She arrived promptly and asked all the right questions to confirm to me that I—and Bruce!—were in good hands when she would be taking care of him. Jennifer is pleasant, communicative and very reliable! I definitely recommend her to you! And, I’ll be using her again! THANKS!”

About: I’ve trained and taken care of my own dogs including becoming a therapy dog team with my current dog, Jonas. I love “reading” dogs and responding to their needs. I dog sit in my home and also offer dog sitting services to guests at my Airbnb on-site. Currently I am using a walker and am awaiting hip replacement surgery. As part of my schedule of care, I do two walks per day and I practice training after each exercise session. I offer lots of variety in activities and it’s a safe place to have fun and play! I have two doggy doors and a fenced in dog yard. I have crates, many play and relaxing areas, and many toys to enjoy. Depending on the mix of dogs, I cater to your way of feeding, needs for training, etc.
About: I already know how to give certain medications, train certain tricks, and take care of old dogs that might need an extra boost. Im also very willing to learn something I may not already know how to do! I also don't just take care of your pets but your home too, if you need plants watered, trash taken out, mail picked up... just let me know! I Currently work some weeks from 3pm-9pm Monday-friday but my schedule is not always this way. If your pet needs extra care during this time that is something we could work out aswell! I try my best to step into your shoes while you are away to keep your pets routine very similar to what they are used to, but I also try to do extra fun things with them so its like a mini vacation for them while you are on your vacation! I keep a happy environment for you and your pets.
About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was seven. Trust me to provide expert care and companionship for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time. My Sunday and Mondays are always open and the rest of the week I am available after 2pm. I can also be very flexible if given early notice. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. All instructions given to me will be strictly adhered to. My top priority is making sure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout each service.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

I have a fenced in backyard and two sweet dogs of my own. My dogs are crate trained and easily put up when others animals come to visit if your pup prefers to be alone. I also have two cats who can be put in their own rooms as well. We go for walks twice a day and try to play fetch a couple times in our backyard, weather permitting.

“We have had Shawn stay in our home and take excellent care of our sweet pet, Minuet, before. As always, we felt comfortable and confident that Shawn took excellent care of Minuet and our home.”

“Because of a family emergency that took us out state, Jeremiah stepped up and took care of our fur babies with very little notice. He stayed at our house overnight with our pets. He sent daily photos of both our pets and answered any questions we had. When we got home, our babies were happy and the house was clean. We would absolutely hire Jeremiah again!”

About: I have been an animal lover all of my life. I have had dogs the largest being a St.Bernard and the smallest being a Maltese. I have had cats, birds, guinea pigs, gerbils, a rabbit and semi-tropical fish. I consider taking care of pets as much a joy as a responsibility and am available to help care for your pet. I am retired and able to work part-time caring for animals. My past work included working 18 years in corporate travel, 30 years as a part-time bookkeeper for a small manufacturing company and 15 years in the healthcare industry including some private duty. I have many years of experience taking care of animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, parrots and semi-tropical fish. I enjoy their company very much.
