“Michael is highly responsive, reliable, and a clear communicator. He’s gentle and caring with my 9-year-old, deaf (but energetic) cocker spaniel. I feel like we’re in good hands.”

About: My friends call me Loona. Newly relocated from Vermont and glad to provide references to new clients at meet-and-greet. Certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, committed to ongoing professional development for safety, enrichment and pet care best practices. I'm available around-the-clock for pet sitting. Dog Walking appointments are available during daylight hours unless otherwise arranged. I live close to downtown and can drive or bike to you as well. I can bring a small dog to stay with us or attend to a dog or cat of any size in their own home with between 1-3 visits per day depending on the needs of the pet(s). My home is small and shared with my own dog, but we have a fenced yard. I will look after your pet(s) with safety and fun foremost in mind!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I also grew up raising chickens and quail. I have 1 dog/cat loving dog named Rupert and 1 cat named Panda. I’m a registered nurse during the week, so I’m very comfortable administering medications and injections. I’ve previously house-sat for a diabetic dog and have experience providing attentive care for senior dogs and cats with medical needs. I have a special place in my heart for rescue animals and have dedicated a lot of time to training my own dog, Rupert. I’m committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and high-quality care—and I look forward to treating your pets like part of my own family. I work full-time as an RN, with three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me two weekdays off and every weekend free. I spend a lot of my time walking my dog, Rupert, and if your pup is friendly, I’d love to include them for walks and positive socialization. If your dog prefers their own space, that’s absolutely fine too. I’m just as committed to providing calm, one-on-one attention and have plenty of experience caring for dogs who aren’t especially social. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, dog- and cat-social dog at home. My cat is comfortable around dogs, though he can be a bit selective with new cats. Pets are welcome on the furniture and even the bed—this is a home-away-from-home environment. If your pup prefers their own space, that’s no problem at all. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and plenty of room for a crate if that’s what they’re used to. I’ve dedicated a lot of time to training my current dog, Rupert, and I’ve only ever owned rescue animals, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to feel safe and thrive. For walks, I always come prepared with freeze-dried treats to reinforce positive behavior and make the experience fun and rewarding.
About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have lived with pets my entire life. I have experience with pets of all ages and sizes, from a puppy boston terrier to a senior german shepherd. I have experience walking large dogs and dogs that do not get along with other animals. I love getting to meet and work with animals and getting to know all their unique personalities! I am currently in school and working. On the weekends I am more than happy to spend the entire time with your pet, and during weekdays I am happy to stay overnight after I get off of work. I will spend quality time with your animal (if that is what they want) and will ensure they have enough food and water, especially if I am helping out on a weekday. I am very attentive to the specific needs of each pet and household and am willing to work with you to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.

About: I've had and been around dogs and cats my entire life, in all shapes and sizes! Bully breeds in particular. I have experience with quite a few exotic animals as well. I have a lot of availability as I am currently self-employed. I play music with 2 very active bands and we rehearse 2-3 times per week as well as shows and tours when they arise, but other than that I am available. I don't live in a place that is animal friendly currently but I am mobile for drop-ins, walks and pet sitting as long as it is not at my residence.
About: I love animals so much I got a degree in Animal Science and I'm pursuing a Vet Tech certification! I have personal experience caring for a variety of dogs in my life: A HIGH energy pitty puppy, a senior and disabled corgy-shepard, and my very own dog, Sheldon, the rainbow terrier rescue ❤️. I absolutely love hanging out with dogs, going on walks, giving pets, winning over shy hearts, and even helping guide rambunctious puppies in the right direction with patience. I just graduated college and have a very open schedule right now, I can do early or late, any day of the week or weekend. I'm happy to stop by to check in on, feed, walk, play, hang out with any pets. I'm experienced with animals and love them all with my whole heart. I also understand security and privacy concerns, I will always respect a customer's home like my own and not judge or mess with anything.
About: I have loved animals since I was a little kid, and I grew up surrounded by animals including a cat, two dogs, and a rabbit. As a teen, I was also a junior zookeeper for several years at my local wildlife refuge, helping to care for animals that couldn’t be released into the wild and also educating visitors on the importance of these animals and their natural habitats. For the last 10 years, I have had the pleasure of being the guardian of a sassy little tabby named Moon. I have also had the pleasure to housesit for some other furry friends when their humans were out of town. Currently have a pretty flexible schedule as long as I know a few days in advance what’s up 😊 Which is why I unfortunately can’t take same day bookings. I am committed to making sure that your furry family members are safe and well cared for while they are with me. Please communicate any known issues to me (things your pet likes to chew that they shouldn’t, medications they take, behavior issues, for instance) and in turn I will do my absolute best to keep them safe and report any possible issues immediately.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I truly enjoy being around them. I currently have a 9-year-old pit mix who I rescued at just 6.5 months old—he’s my heart and soul, and caring for him has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or special needs, I’d be honored to care for them like family. I currently work part time from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve, just like I do with my own. I'm diligent, punctual, and always committed to providing the best care possible. While I don’t currently offer in-home care at my own house, I’m very comfortable with overnight stays and sitting in your home. I have solid experience with pet sitting, walking, and various types of care, and I pride myself on being knowledgeable, dependable, and committed to making your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“I’ve used Julie a few times now and I can say with confidence that she is taking great care of my big crazy pup! I get the best photos that show me how much fun he is having when she visits him. I don’t trust too many people to have the skills needed to take care of our big guy, but Julie fits the bill! Thanks Julie for sending such fun pupdates!”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets for years, I’ve always been incredibly reliable, and I’m kind-hearted to their fuzzy companions because I know how important they are to people. Having cats myself, I understand how sacred and special they are. When taking care of pets I’ve fed them, gave them water, let them out and cleaned up all sorts of messes. I adore playing with them and keeping them company, which is one of the mort important things besides basic care, because the animals need company as well. Animals are wonderful companions, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I treat every pet I care for like family, giving them consistent attention, affection, and respect for their routines. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walking, and playtime, and I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I also watch for any signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly, so every pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while their humans are away.

It means a lot to me that Kyle and his wife were able to bond with my cats Scout and Moose so well. When I returned home after a 6 day trip my house was so clean and tidy and I really appreciated that. Scout and Moose were happy and healthy and that’s the most important . It shows that Kyle spent quality time. Kyle communicated regularly and sent the most excellent photos daily. I will certainly be in touch for future visits . 5 star

Rachael was absolutely amazing! She is very professional and provided relief to my stress of taking on a puppy. She responded all my questions. Rachael did a great job of making sure my puppy was taken care of and followed all the instructions I provided. She sent me detailed updates, photos, and mapped out their walk. It made me feel a sense of relief to have my puppy be cared for by someone like Rachael.

Marina immediately had our trust, comfort and ease! I helped my parents find a dog sitter to come to my wedding. They were nervous having someone come to the house and care for their 2-3 yo dogs that hadn’t been around a lot of other humans though very friendly (a shepherd mix and a German Shepard). Marina was easy and quick to respond. She came by to meet my parents and the dogs, who all loved her immediately! Marina sent videos and photos while we were gone which my parents loved! I especially appreciated Marina’s experience with German shepherd temperaments. I highly recommend Marina and would definitely use her again with FULL CONFIDENCE!
Emily took such great care of my 2 cats! One of my cats is a bit shy and takes time to warm up to strangers, but immediately was playing and cuddling with Emily. It made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were so safe and well taken care of while I was gone :)

Amanda is amazing as usual. This is our 7th or 8th time booking with her. She is always quick to respond to our requests, flexible and pays wonderful attention to our two cats. She plays with them, understands their personality differences, and she provides a detailed report each time of their behaviors and whether they are eating/drinking. She always sends multiple photos, too. Thank you Amanda! You’re a true gem.

Trey was genuine from the very start and took great care of my cats while I was away. He kept things clean, checked in, and made sure the cats were happy and comfortable the whole time. I could tell they were well cared for when I got home. I highly recommend Trey to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.
