“Having Ashley to give the dogs a potty break during the day has relived me of so much stress. She is easy going and the dogs love her! I love that they are now able to have a chance to potty and stretch their legs on days I have to be in the office and my husband is traveling.”
“Candice is a stellar and caring sitter for elderly dogs. Our fourteen year old husky is a happier, healthier dog due to Candice's kind ministrations.”
“Kaylynn was great with our pups! She watched them at our home while we were gone for a weekend and sent updates on how they were doing. Great care and communication! Definitely planning to use Kaylynn again.”
“My cat Felix loved Antonia’s drop in visits. He seemed super happy and enjoyed the playtime. You always hate to leave your pets when traveling, but it’s nice to have such an amazing sitter be able to make sure your pet is well cared for.”
“Briana was a life saver! On short notice her house visits kept our elderly husky feeling comfortable and our boys were so relaxed and happy! We're so grateful she was willing to take on our boys and recommend her to any dog owners - you'll be lucky and so will your puppies!”
“Amanda did an amazing job with our pets! Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail was top notch. We knew our pets were in good hands while the wife and I went on a weekend vacation. Amanda was able to give one of our senior dogs his insulin shots with no problem. All of the animals (two dogs and two cats) really enjoyed her care and company. HIGHLY recommend and we will book her again.”
About: With 20+ years of dog ownership and over a decade of caring for cats, I bring calm, experienced, and compassionate care to every animal I meet. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs—including administering meds and accommodating special diets. I treat each pet like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and comfort they need to thrive while you're away. Whether it's a quiet cuddle or an energizing trail walk, I tailor care to your pet's personality and needs. I start my mornings early and love getting walks in before it gets too hot. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I schedule walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around a calm, consistent home life. I’m outdoors every day, rain or shine, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a task. Your pet’s needs will be met with patience, presence, and plenty of playtime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, dog-friendly environment—no crates unless requested, and always supervised play. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding to walks to meds. I keep spaces clean, secure, and low-stress, and I always take time to build trust with your pet through gentle handling and positive interactions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: My whole life I have grown up owning multiple dogs. Right now I have three dogs at home, two beagles and a king charles cavalier spaniel. I am a full time pet lover and treat every animal with the same kindness and respect. I also have training experience so dogs of any and all ages would not be a problem for me! I also work part time at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel in the evenings. However, my schedule is still very flexible, especially during the day, so that i can accommodate your animal’s needs. I am available Monday-Sunday and some holidays. I am currently a part time employee at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel. I am typically free all day on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday-Sunday I am available until 3pm and after 10pm. I always make sure windows and doors are shut in the house at all times especially before leaving the house. I also never take an animal off leash unless there is a fenced in area. Before leaving the house I always check to make sure there is nothing potentially dangerous hanging around that could be gotten into.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.
“Michelle was awesome, she gave us the peace of mind of having our babies well cared for while we were gone. She is responsible and she truly cares!”
“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”
“my dog looked so happy in all of the pics- she definitely had the best time with Ellie and I loved all getting the pictures and updates! thank you! 🤍”
About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I grew up on a farm, so animals have been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I’m confident with everything from barn cats to reactive dogs, and I’m no stranger to giving meds—pills, topicals, even injections. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you’re away, I’ve got it covered. My flexible schedule means your pet gets reliable care and plenty of attention—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have an open and flexible schedule. That means I can focus on giving your pet the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning visit, or a last-minute check-in. I’m not juggling a 9–5, so your pet gets a sitter who’s reliable, available, and fully present. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to stick closely to their normal routine—because pets feel safest when things feel familiar. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, going for a walk, playtime, or just offering some company and belly rubs, I’m all about making your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I’m respectful of your space, leave things how I found them, and always send updates so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I grew up on a farm and have raised dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and small birds of my own. I’m also familiar with caring for other animals like lizards and small rodents. Whether it’s boarding, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I’d love the chance to spend time with your pet and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule so feel free to reach out anytime for your pet sitting or walking needs! I am dedicating my summer to pet/house sitting jobs while I prepare for Law School in the fall. Therefore, I am fully available day and night for your pets! I know a lot about animals and their behavior. I am very responsible and will be sure to follow instructions and I'm confident that my knowledge regarding animals will help me take care of any situation with your pet.
“Our dog connected with Madison immediately! Madison provided multiple visits and walks for our dog over a week’s time, and she provided great updates and photos on a daily basis. Madison is professional and friendly, and we would book her again to care for our dog.”

Ella K.
“Ella has grown up around dogs her whole life, having 4 at one point. She pet (and house) sits for my now 3 when I go on trips. One of my dogs has high anxiety and takes a daily prescription med. She is responsible, reliable, and loving towards all animals. Pets are a great judge of character, and I’ve never seen an animal or pet shy away from her. The summer after high school she provided pet (and house) sitting services to many of my co-workers, she was booked for MONTHS, and highly sought after. Our pets are members of our families; I trust and highly recommend her to treat yours as if they’re a part of her family ♥️”

Allison C.
“Allison is the BEST pet sitter ever. I have had many over the years. She loves to sit with my Tessa and just shower love on her. She is also really good at getting my animals to take their medications. I have a geriatric dog who has laser treatments for arthritis and needs to take about 18 pills a day and somehow Allison manages to find all the ones that my dog thinks she has hidden after she "pretends" to take them. I have Allison sleep over at my house when I am away for business as well. One time I was in the hospital for a stay that was supposed to be 3 days that ended up being 12. Allison made sure that my dog was taken care of even though I didn't have it scheduled with her and I know she was busy at the time. We also have a very fussy cat who makes a mess when she feels neglected. She has never once retaliated against us upon our returns from vacations when Allison is on the job. I trust her inherently with my animals. ”
