“Audrey did great and worked with us to make sure she could sit our two dogs on only a couple days' notice over a holiday weekend. The dogs were happy when we returned, and the house was as clean as when we left. We would definitely hire Audrey again!”

I have 1 cats currently. I am a mother to a 7 year old boy, a 2 year old boy and have my cousins 7 year old daughter. I have experience with animals with social and separation anxiety .

“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”


“Kent is great! My dog is really anxious and has a lot of energy. He doesn’t warm up to people quickly but they became best buds right away. My dog was exhausted when I got home. The last time I had to use a dog sitter my dogs eating habits would change and showcase a lot of separation anxiety every time! This time I returned to a happy well adjusted puppy who had a great time with his best friend. My house was spotless when I returned home as well. Thanks!”


“Evan was GREAT ! He contacted me very quickly regarding a medical concern one of my Great Danes was having. He was very quick to reply to all my messages and sent smiling pictures of the dogs to put me at ease. I was especially surprised to see the floors and bedding washed and clean upon my arrival. My Danes fell in love with him during the meet and greet visit and will definitely use him for all our dog care needs. Cora”


About: I've taken care of family dogs since I was eleven. I can watch puppies and older dogs. I'm usually very flexible and I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I am starting college so I have have to work around the days I go to school. That won't stop me from being able to check in on or walk your fur babies. I also will still be able to see my dogs too. For drop in visits and sitting I will be making sure they get food and water whilst their owners are gone. Letting them outside to go to the bathroom All and all making sure they are happy and healthy while I am there and before I leave. When I walk dogs I let them take their time to go to the bathroom maybe even play a little.

“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve never not had a dog in my life. Currently I have a turtle, 2 dogs and I watch my bosses dog all the time. I’ve always been good at taking care of animals and sensing their emotions and things they may need. I have a zoom class Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6. I work Thursday - Friday but I can work visits or walks in between shifts. I’m very familiar with all different types of needs for your animal(s). I’ve crate trained dogs my whole life, I’m very experience in walking dogs, I walk strong pit bulls on a daily basis so any size I can handle.

About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.

“Mikaila was a true God Send. She was kind, gentle, and attentive. Paloma and I are beyond grateful for being able to connect with her. I was close to giving up on Rover due to bad experiences, but meeting Mikaila and connecting her with my Paloma changed that. Her caretaking and attentiveness allow for the peace of mind and comfort pet owners endlessly search for. Highly recommended”

About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. I sorted the pictures of the dogs I have known the longest to the shortest, with a photo of me at The Hemingway House in Key West FLA petting a cat. First is my childhood dog named Fezz who passed away in 2020. Second is my brothers beagle, Jack. Next is an old friend’s tan Pitbull named Louise. Then there is my dad’s white puppy named Piggie. The next photos are my friend Andy’s dogs. Two Bully Breeds. The white one is Biggie and the grey one is Gianna. I have watched them a few times and I walk them together. Biggie is a rescue and is considered a high risk dog. He has bit 10+ people, but he loves me so much and is very comfortable around me. I wouldn’t say I’m a dog whisperer, but I certainly have a way with dogs. I have watched my brother’s beagle as well a few times. When I lived in CO (about a decade ago) I watched a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute. They were a handful and hard to walk together as they were both pretty big and strong, but I was still able to do it. I work remote doing life and health insurance, so I’m just looking for a side job to supplement my income until I build my book of business up. I could watch them at my house as I have a huge fenced in yard, but I would rather meet the animal at home where it’s most comfortable for them. When I watch Andy’s dogs, I watch them at his house.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all kind, worked for Wag! And have worked at a few doggy daycares as well, I have obedience training experience, grooming experience, dispensing medication experience, and I absolutely just love dogs overall! I’m also working on building up a clientele to eventually grow into a fully operational doggy/cat daycare/hotel. Get up I feed my fish first thing, then I let my dogs out, put food in my dogs dish, let him inside to eat, then it’s play time. I have 5 acres, with a huge fenced in yard, i do have chickens, turkeys, goats, dog, and 3 donkeys. I will crate at night if boarding apon pet parents request.

“Brittany helped us in a pinch and was so good with our Great Dane, Rosemary. We appreciated her responsiveness and all the photos and videos she sent of their time together. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and knows how to care for them. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup and couldn't be more grateful. Rose made a new friend, and we look forward to using her services again. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for a few years now. After getting my first dog, I learned quickly how it was like to care for one, and I love every minute of it! I am a current college student and was looking to do more on the side. I have most availability Monday through Thursday and some Fridays. I will care for pets in my clients home by protecting and looking after their dog at all times because their safety is what is most important to me!

About: Hello and welcome to my page! My pet care experience had begun at the early age of 2 when I had my first best fur friend. He was a grey schnauzer and also mine and my grandma's protector. His name was Buster, but I called him "butt-two" and he lived a very happy and exciting life. At the age of 8 I had gotten two of my very first dogs, Sady and Chloe. They were Jack russells and extremely full of energy! With my mother working and my sisters busy with their friends, I took on full responsibility of them and completely loved it. Shortly after, we added a cat - Harley. Harley was a very loving yet independent cat. I loved her as if she was my own child. She has passed and that was a very tough loss for me. Now, I am without a fur friend and looking to care for any cat or dog to fill in that missing spot in my heart. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will consider any price changes! If I seem to be a good fit for you, please do not hesitate to send me a detailed message of your pet(s), their health and needs, and the care you're looking to get from me. I am excited and looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Currently, I am self employed and working only part time so my schedule is open to book with you and your pets with little notice. (Preferably receive a 1 week notice) When caring for your pets- I love to go for walks with dogs and playing outside with them as much as possible. They will be well fed, groomed, and loved.

“Michelle made my family feel at ease about leaving our dog at home during our trip. She took excellent care of Rue and of our home while we were gone for a couple of days. We got daily pictures of Rue and we knew she was being loved on the whole time. I highly recommend Michelle!”
