“Taylor! Thank you so much for taking great care of my pups! She gave such a detailed summary I was so happy to see them both content while I was away from home. I cannot appreciate you enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I first started pet sitting and dog walking when I was 10 for my family and friends. I recently moved to the area and just bought my first home! Because I'm currently transitioning and looking for a part-time job, my schedule right now is wonderfully open and flexible. This means I have plenty of time and attention to shower your furry family members with love, playtime, and dedicated care while you're away. I will attend and care for your pet in the best possible manner. Making sure to interact with your pet. I will keep you updated on how your pet is doing.

“She was very patient with a rambunctious head, strong German Shepherd. Also for filling out a pinch when I had travel schedule right out of the gate.”

About: I’ve always had a dog or cat in my home! Growing up we always had a Golden Retriever :) My most recent dogs were two senior Chihuahua sisters I adopted and one Olde English Bulldog. They have all crossed the rainbow bridge and though I’m not ready to get another pet, I miss having them in my life. One of my seniors had diabetes so I’m trained at administering insulin as well. I’m a stay at home mom of two little boys I share with their dad, though when I have dogs stay with me they stay with their father. For boarding, I live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of other dogs and great sidewalks for strolls or power walks if needed. I enjoy going for daily long walks myself would love the company. For walks at your home, I never skimp on time outside or if weather doesn’t permit, extra fun and love inside.

“Carissa is a ROCKSTAR with our pups.. She is very attentive to their specific needs.. They love walking with her. She cares about them and it shows.”

About: I started dog sitting in 2022 for a coworker at the time, and since then I now have 9 different families I regularly sit for. I have experience with a range of dogs (from Toy Aussies to German Shepherds) as well as cats, which I grew up with, and some experience with fish and birds. I love all kinds of animals and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities! I am primarily doing online classes for school and working part-time. My working schedule can be flexible with advanced notice so I can spend the most time with your pet(s)! Whatever is best for you and your pet is what I provide! I’ve cared for very high-maintenance dogs that need multiple walks a day, special diets, etc., as well as very chill dogs that just come in and out as they please and eat whenever they want. I’m very flexible to provide whatever care the pet requires!

“Very responsive to messages and replies fast. She was not intimidated by our Doberman at all and they both made fast friends. We will use Hailey again for sure!”

“Michelle was very responsive, send us photos of our dog on his walk, and was easy to work with! She was able to accept our booking fairly last minute and we are so thankful. Earl was so happy to have a potty break on our long day of work!”

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets and have lots of experience. I had cats and dogs growing up and started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends when I was around 12 years old. I am used to taking care of both puppies and kittens along with senior cats and dogs. I have pet sit for animals that require medication and looked after my own dogs post surgery. I have volunteered at shelters/fostered and worked with animals of all temperaments. I just got back from a year abroad and won’t be starting school back up until January so I have lots of time and no set schedule. I often go to the gym Monday and Friday morning and hikes with my mothers dog on the weekends but I’m flexible. I have pet sit and my home and at the clients home and am comfortable with either! My house has a fenced in yard and is close to a park. I have recently taken in my grandfathers elderly cat she’s very quiet and sweet and spends most of her time sleeping in my bed. I also occasionally watch my moms husky mix who loves to play with other dogs.

“Shannon was a tremendous help during our recent vacation. She was able to manage our sometimes reactive dog on walks. She took the time to get to know him before we left, and I’m sure that made our dog far more comfortable. Thanks Shannon!”

About: As a compassionate pet and home sitter with five years of experience, I offer personalized care for every pet. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, ensuring they receive the right balance of attention, play, and rest. I follow specific dietary and training instructions to keep routines consistent. My goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment for your pets while you're away, ensuring both pets and owners feel secure and at ease! I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts per week, which means I have several full days off dedicated to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays. On workdays, I can still provide morning, evening, and overnight care for pets comfortable with a longer daytime rest period. My schedule is set in advance, so I can plan visits consistently and communicate clearly. I also occasionally tag-team with a trusted friend who helps ensure pets always get reliable care and attention. In your home, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets by maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment. I follow your guidelines closely, ensuring routines are kept consistent. I monitor their behavior and health daily, providing regular updates for your peace of mind. Your pets will feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!

About: Not only have I been a dog parent for 10 years, but I've been entrusted by friends and neighbors to walk and care for their pets when the need arises. I'm a stay at home mom who substitute teaches at my children's school. I choose my own schedule so I find myself available for pet care at those random times that pets need attention. I'm happy to walk your pets, play with them in your backyard, play with them indoors, feed them if needed. I completely understand that each animal has a specific way they like things done (myself having two very particular poodles) and can accommodate special requests.

“Alex was great with Bowie. She was very approachable and let him warm up!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I work full-time in grocery retail, typically on the early morning shift. This means I am completely done with work by mid-afternoon and have the rest of the day, evening, and night entirely open to focus on your pet! For house sitting or boarding, your pet will be safely left for an 8-hour stretch during the day while I am at the store, but they will get plenty of exercise and attention before I leave and the absolute maximum amount of love, long walks, and playtime the moment I get home. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is most best for their loved one. I aim to make sure each pet is cared for and comfortable in their environment.

“Helped in a pinch! Thank you :)”

About: My experience and background with animals spans over the course 20 years. I've worked as a veterinary technician, fostered nearly 2 dozen puppies for rescue programs, and founded my own successful non-profit rescue & conservation program dedicated to primitive canids. I had the wonderful experience of helping one of these rare dogs whelp & raise a massive litter of 12. I've owned numerous breeds including a Beagle, working-line German Shepherd, working-line Anatolian Shepherd, and numerous primitives such Carolina Dogs, a coydog hybrid, & an imported Canaan Dog. I've trained dogs in sports such as schutzhund & nosework. I established my private dog training business in 2019- specializing in puppies and working dogs such as service & livestock guardian dogs. I've been blessed to own two wonderful cats! On our homestead we had an incredible indoor/outdoor boy that kept the rodents at bay. We also have a sweet, indoor-only kitty that lives the high life with raw food & endless cuddles! I'm thoroughly experienced in caring for senior dogs & cats, administering medications, first aid, & wound care. I've fed numerous specialized diets, including fully raw. I adore the puppy stage- including crate training, potty training, & socialization. I'm a strong advocate for socialization that bolsters confident neutrality. A puppy's endless curiosity is so fun to harness! I enjoy giving dogs a balance of outdoor exercise like hiking, as well as indoor mental enrichment like games and puzzles. A tired dog is a happy dog! I train dogs part time & homeschool my daughter- which lends me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I can often accommodate short notice requests. Your beloved pet's safety is critical to me. I'm extremely cautious with opening & closing doors so no animals can slip through a door, check the fit of a dog's collar to prevent potential backing out, & ensure there's nothing a pup or kitty could get into thats potentially dangerous. I have a very strong preference for using martingale collars on dogs for walks to mitigate that risk. I've personally endured the tragedy of my young dog slipping the door and being hit by a car while a sitter was taking care of him- so I assure you I take this very seriously. Building trust with both owners and their pets is pivotal! I'm committed to open communication and honesty. I allow pets to greet me on their terms and understand some animals need a more patient, gentle approach than others. I strive to create a positive, calm environment for your pets- and once I'm trusted by them, I will add the playfulness and affection they deserve!
