About: I have grown up around cats, dogs, hamsters, turtles, lizards, etc. I currently have a cat of my own. I absolutely love playing with dogs and cats. I have pet sat for multiple family members and friends with dogs and cats. I have weird work schedules during the day. I do not always know where I will be the next day. I will almost always know ahead of time if I will be gone for more than 6 hours. I have a hybrid-type job. I will work in the field and then work from home the rest of the time. This makes it easier for me to have some flexibility around pet schedules. I have stayed in-house while sitting, and also just visited when needed. I have watched different-sized dogs and different ages as well. I have given medicine if needed. I do not usually deal with crated animals, but I would not mind a change if that is requested. If specific instructions are given for visits, I will follow them to the best of my ability and reach out if I have any issues.

Sarah is the best! She has been so good with our dogs and so reliable. She sent updates throughout our trip, left our house spotless and made sure both pups were so well cared for. It’s so nice having complete peace of mind when we’re out of town. Could not recommend her enough!

Emily was amazing! She took care of our Bailey for two weeks. She’s attentive, caring and easy to work with. She followed all our instructions, kept up communications and daily pictures. She was responsible and respectful at our house but also gave our fur-baby attention, snuggles and diligently kept up with his special care, and daily walks. I strongly recommend her services and would be happy to hire her back.

Beth took extra special care of our nervous poodle when a tropical storm happened to hit while we were gone. She was concerned when our poodle had trouble sleeping and figured out a way to make her more comfortable. Beth was really flexible even though we had to change a couple things about our original plan.

Taylor stayed with our babies for 4 nights, sent photos and left the house just as clean as when she arrived! She was very responsive and all four of the babies were relaxed and happy when we returned. We'll definitely be asking her back!

We’re so glad that we found Tatyana when we did! Not only did she agree to take on the job last minute when another dog sitter backed out, but she took phenomenal care of our senior female dog and provided so many nice updates and photos throughout every day. 100% recommend and hope to use her again in the future!

About: I have over 2 years of hands-on experience through a veterinary assistant program in high school, where I learned how to safely handle animals, recognize basic health concerns, and support their daily care. In addition to pet sitting dogs, I’ve also had lifelong experience owning and caring for cats, and I currently have pets at home, which keeps me actively involved in daily routines like feeding, monitoring behavior, and providing attention and care. This has given me a strong understanding of different pet personalities and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m available every day from 8 pm through 12 pm, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care, play, and companionship for your pets. I make sure I’m fully focused on giving each pet the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. I provide a safe and trusted environment for all pets in my care. My home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I make sure every animal feels secure and loved. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to following your instructions so your pet is happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

I highly recommend Jordan. She sat my dog at my house which was less stressful for Kody. Jordan helped him stary calm during thunderstorms. She also took Kody for rides in her car and walks in new areas. Kody was comfortable with Jordan as his sitter.

About: Hi there! I’m 27 years old and have spent the last 12 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have two dogs of my own, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with: Daily walks and exercise routines In‑home sitting and overnight stays Drop‑ins for feeding, playtime, and check‑ins Puppies, seniors, and pets with special instructions Administering basic medications and following detailed care plans Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a quick check‑in, my goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable experience every time. I work full‑time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pet care. I’m available every morning before 8am, mid‑day during my lunch break, and in the evenings and nights. I’m also available 7 days a week, so whether you need early walks, drop‑ins, or evening/overnight care, I can reliably fit your pet into my routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all of their normal schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime habits, so everything feels consistent for them. I treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, washing bowls, tidying up after pets, and following any house rules you set. I give each pet plenty of attention based on their personality—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I’m comfortable handling special instructions like medications, senior care, puppy routines, or specific behavioral needs. I also send regular updates, photos, and quick check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I maintain their nighttime routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire time.
