About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. My family has had dogs of all sizes, including three pit bulls and a mastiff so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as smaller pets. Our family dogs and cats have ranged from young puppies to seniors, which has given me experience adjusting to different energy levels, routines, and care needs throughout a dog’s life. I’ve also cared for our pets on my own for week-long periods when family members were away, making sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. More recently, I adopted my own cat named Muffin, who I’ve had for the past seven months. Being a pet owner myself has made me appreciate how important it is to find someone you trust, and I would care for your pets with the same attention and care I give my own. I work part-time in the evenings, which gives me a flexible schedule during the day. Most days I’m available after 11:00 AM for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or spending quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and routine rather than treating every visit the same. I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to, while also treating your home with respect and keeping you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: I bring over 6 years of pet sitting experience, along with a year of hands-on service dog training. This background has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, and confidently working with dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable reinforcing training for puppies, providing mental stimulation for high-energy dogs, and offering patient, attentive care for seniors who may need a slower pace or extra support. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to training service dog pups, I’ve trained my own dogs using cues in different languages, strengthening my understanding of how dogs learn and respond to clear, consistent guidance. I don’t just “watch” pets — I actively engage with them. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, or reinforcing good manners, I make sure your pet feels secure, stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can accommodate weekday and weekend bookings and will communicate clearly about any scheduling changes in advance. Every pet deserves patience, consistency, and a safe space while their family is away. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving care while maintaining clear communication and a secure home environment.
“Jacob has watched my senior dog multiple times. He is very kind and quick to respond. He is always sends good pic so I know my old man is getting well cared for. Will always try to rebook him for my dog”

“Stefania took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. Our dog is usually very shy, but by day 3, she was playing and wanting belly rubs, which Stefania took the time to give her. I'd highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!

“Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!”
“mackenzie was an amazing sitter for my cat! my kitty is notoriously shy and aggressive around people but by the end of our trip mackenzie was cookie’s new friend! very diligent with photos and updates. highly recommend!”

“Amanda did a fantastic job keeping me updated and caring for my pet cat. My cat required multiple drop-in visits per day, and had some complicated instructions, but Amanda handled it perfectly. I was updated with photos and messages with how time was spent with my pet, and would reccomend Amanda too any pet parent going out of town for an extended amount of time.”
About: As a dog owner, I know how important it is to rest assured that our pets are happy and healthy. Aside from providing the basics of food & fresh water, medication, and potty breaks. I also provide activities catered to your dog's energy level and personality. I can take your pup on short or long walks, play fetch in the back yard, or take your dog to a dog park. For dogs who are not fond of going for walks, we can enjoy playing with toys indoors or just enjoying each other's company. I'd be happy to keep you updated on your dogs day with a picture or log of our daily activities. My experience also includes caring for dogs suffering from anxiety and epilepsy.
“Maysie did an excellent job in taking care my Maddy. She was always prompt with her visits and left good notes and pics. She’s a very nice young lady and Maddy really seemed to like her. Would def recommend, and would book her again.”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs for over 30 years. Whatever your dog needs I can do including Medications, trips to the vet, whatever they need Retired so I can spend time with your pup without much distraction. If you want your dog spoiled like at home I'm the person you need I have 2 friendly dogs and a fenced in yard to keep your pups company. I can also crate them if needed.

About: I have worked at a dog boarding/day care facility and I have taken care of many dogs at my house and take care of my own dog. I am typically available during all week days, my schedules pretty open. I can walk dogs or take care of the dogs at your house in morning or afternoons and night if needed I would care for your dog by giving them lots of attention, love, playing with them, and walking with them. I have a very friendly black lab who loves all dogs and will be willing to play with your dog if needed.
About: I've had pets basically my whole life. I grew up with inside and outside dogs, as well as a farm cat that I took care of regularly. I've been through obedience training with both of my dogs now, and we walk and play every day! I work from 8:00~2:00 weekdays. I take my own dogs on walks every day. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets if you're ever in need of assistance! I have two inside dogs at my house. When I bought the house, I had a fence put in and extended the yard so they can be outside and play safely, whenever they want. We go on long and short walks daily. Animals deserve the same care and respect that people do, and I treat my animals, and any other I know, like friends! Treat them right and they'll be great!
