About: My name is Jacob and I have 15 years of experience caring for mine and my family's pets. I also have approximately 4 years of volunteer experience at shelters caring for cats and dogs. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. From tiny pups to large, strong dogs, I'm confident handling them safely and calmly. I've worked with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness and high energy. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on understanding each dog's unique needs. I'm autistic, and I've found that this often allows me to connect especially well with animals. I'm very attentive to body language, routines, and subtle behavior changes, which helps me respond calmly and consistently- particularly with dogs who need a little extra understanding. My goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience. My schedule is pretty flexible to do drop-in care for your pets or walks as needed. I am willing to work with clients so they can get the care they need for their pets. I am willing to do drop-in care at client's homes as needed. I can also take dogs for walks from client's homes as requested by client.

Thank you Katy. I love how you got to know my animals. I would trust you to take care of my animals anytime. I did not worry because I knew my cats were well taken care of.

Reagan was absolutely amazing and perfectly patient with our beloved Pippin. She made our vacation a success sending photos and updates letting us enjoy without worry how our little guy was doing. Reagan went above and beyond and I will forever refer and use her for future care given her availability and 5☆ sitting. Thank you again!

About: Hi! I’m Mason — but around here you can just call me the best dogsitter ever 🤷🏼‍♂️. I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and it’s still my favorite part of every day. I have a puppy named Barley, who is an absolute lover and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t want to play with (she’s very gentle). Whether I’m working with shy pups, high-energy adventurers, or mellow couch lovers, I know how to meet dogs where they’re at and make them feel safe, understood, and excited to see me. ✔ 15 years of hands-on pet care ✔ Experienced with all breeds and temperaments ✔ Reliable communication + fast response ✔ Daytime availability for long walks or quick visits ✔ Friendly resident dog (Barley!) ✔ Warm, fun, and trustworthy ✔ Your dog becomes part of my little extended family I’m currently working nights primarily, so this allows me to be free during the day to check up on and walk the pups! My schedule does change a small bit week to week but it is fairly consistent. I love spending time with the dogs, so rest assured your pet will be supervised. If there is any specific needs your dog has please let me know so I can accommodate!

About: I am flexible and accommodating. Our family owns a 3-year-old golden doodle and I am often helping friends and neighbors with their pets. I am accustomed to small pets and large pets. I have experience taking care of older dogs with mobility challenges, dietary restrictions and administering medication. I am an active outdoor person and love to take dogs on walks, runs and hikes. I am willing to even care for farm animals. I am a homeschooling mom, therefore it is very easy for me to be flexible and accommodate variety of schedules. Since I already own a dog, my lifestyle already accommodates pet care. I am currently mostly looking to care for pets at their own home. I follow the owners directions/instructions which ensures that their pets are cared for in safe and accustomed manner.

Highly recommend Krystina! She was kind, great to communicate with, and was so thoughtful to bring our packages inside when she checked in on our kitty. Our cat sometimes has trouble warming up to new people but we could tell from the pictures that she was happy to be around Krystina and enjoyed all the attention :)

About: I’ve taken care of a variety animals and can’t seem to get enough. I love all animals and work hard to ensure they are comfortable and safe. I currently have a dog and cat of my own that get along well with other pets. I would love to take time to meet you and your fur babies to better get to know you and their needs! I have a masters degree in social work and currently work as a mental health therapist for kids. My schedule is Monday-Friday 10am-7pm. I get an hour for lunch and could be available for drop-ins. I have open availability most weekends! I follow directions and provide quality pet care…and of course extra pet snuggles. I love being outside and have a reactive dog of my own so I’m willing to work with most pets.

Shelly was great! She had excellent communication including being flexible with our initial meet n’ greet, letting me know she has arrived at my home, and sending me pics of my pups playing in the yard. She is professional, personable, and I feel very comfortable trusting her with my pups and home.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely love both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, giving belly rubs, or spending quiet time cuddling on the couch, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to senior cats who just want companionship, I enjoy caring for them all as if they were my own. I work a full-time job, but my hours very sometimes only four days a week sometimes five days a week I’m available to stay the night and home so that your animals feel loved and cared for I’m typically off by 5 PM and I love to go outside so would be super interested and bringing your dogs on walks or the dog parks or even just playing with them in the backyard I wake up early enough to play with your pets. Feed them make sure they go potty outside and I’m also available to go and check on them in the middle of the day on my lunch and then I would stay for dinner time and throughout the night playing with your pets taking them outside going and doing activities.

Alex did a wonderful job dropping in to take care of my cat, Delilah, while I was out of the country. Alex left detailed drop-in notes with photos and took great care in following the instructions for feeding that I left. Alex spent time with Delilah during each visit for some much-needed cat playtime. I had complete confidence that Delilah was being well cared for while I was away for the week. Thank you, Alex!

About: Hi there! Life long Alaskan and animal lover. I grew up around dogs and cats my whole life, and love spending time with all animals. I have a bunny of my own as well! Love taking my family dogs out, playing with them, and just spending time with them. I work part time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible with notice. I love to go on daily walks anyways, so definitely would love to bring a pup out with me as well! I will treat your pets as if they are my own because I know how special they are to you! I treat my own pets with lots of love and affection, as well as attention.

About: I’ve always had multiple pets in my life, Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fish, Horses etc. I’ve worked at multiple doggy-daycare centers and love to spend time with all animals no matter age or breed! I love to take morning and night walks and have a lot of free time in the evenings to take dogs to parks or hiking. I focus and prioritize the pets needs. I take walks and prioritize safety by carefully following care instructions, maintaining routines, monitoring for any changes in behavior or health, and providing regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable environment

Krystina has been incredibly helpful, kind, and flexible when it comes to meeting my fur baby’s needs. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of and always makes me feel at ease knowing my pet is in good hands. I truly appreciate her patience, reliability, and the care she gives. Highly recommend!

Laura took really good care of our pug and kitty (who needs daily medication). Great communication, we got updates on how they were doing. I also appreciated Laura coming over before we left to make sure she knew all of our instructions etc. I would definitely have her watch our pets again.

Ellen has saved me multiple times this summer when I needed to change trip dates. She was able to step in to do two drop ins a day for my old dog that needs lots of interaction and potty breaks. Ellen is very much appreciated and I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone reliable and that does great updates.
