About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
“I was impressed with Catherine from start to finish. My pets immediately took to her, and she gave them lots of love and care while I was away. She sent regular updates and pics, and I felt very comfortable with her caring for them in my home. I was extremely impressed and happy with her and her service. Highly recommend her!”
“Kristie did a great job helping our shy dog get acclimated to having a new sitter, kept us updated on how she was doing and sent great pictures. We appreciate her and can't wait for her to dog sit again in the future!”
“Dee was fantastic. We needed a sitter last minute and they were able to accomodate. We received a ton of updates of our pups.I felt super comfortable with them in our home and knowing our three dogs were being taken care of.”
“Jen is an amazing sitter. She is so genuinely caring and thoughtful. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog and the house, and she was so wonderful about keeping me updated, even with a 6 hour time difference!”
About: I am detail oriented and love schedules. I am punctual and will send updates and photos to your specifications. Whether your babies need crated or cuddled, I am the one for the job. I am currently not working so I am available most days and weekends. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to walk and play as well. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space for the animals to roam around freely. My dogs are both friendly and happy to meet new friends.
“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”
“Abby has been such a reliable and trustworthy dog/house sitter for our older (but still energetic and demanding) dogs. It is such a relief to know that my dogkids are loved and taken care of when I’m out of town.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with our dogs! We recently moved to the area, and needed to make a trip. My dogs were still transitioning into their new home, so I was a little nervous to leave them for a weekend so soon. Kaitlyn came for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. The dogs responded well to her, being calm and respectful (sometimes they get too excited for guests). She asked questions to make sure she was providing the best care possible. While we were away, she sent text updates with pics, which I appreciated! Kaitlyn even made sure some packages that arrived while we were arrived made it into the house. We came home to happy dogs and the place looked great. We hope to have her back (and I bet the dogs do too!) when we need to go out of town in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jo, and I bring years of hands-on animal care experience to every pet sitting job I take on. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and also spent time as a zoo employee, so I’m no stranger to animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! Whether your pet needs special medical care, a calming presence while you're away, or just lots of love and play, I provide responsible, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling senior pets, and caring for exotic or less common animals as well. Animals have always been at the heart of my work and my passion. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident they’re in capable and caring hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or scaly or feathered!) family member! I'm free after 4:00pm on the weekdays and anytime on weekends. I take care of my own furbabies, so I am already in the routine of caring for animals. I have three furbabies myself, so I'm well-versed in the different personalities each animal can have. I don't provide a one-size-fits-all approach to caring for animals - I tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet.
About: With 13 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals, I know that every pet is unique—and I treat them like family. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I provide compassionate, dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether you’re traveling or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and stress-free in your absence. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be reliable and consistent, especially for pets who thrive on routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended stays, I make sure every visit gets my full attention and care. Pet sitting isn’t just a side gig for me—it’s something I take seriously and truly enjoy.

Mariah S.
“Mariah is absolutely fantastic! She not only took amazing care of my pup, but also brought along her two sweet dogs a couple of times—which made for the perfect mix of playtime, socialization, and exercise. My dog came home happy, tired, and clearly adored spending time with both Mariah and her pups. Mariah was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared for my dog as if she were her own. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. The updates and photos she sent were the cherry on top—I could see how comfortable and joyful my dog was in her care. I can’t recommend Mariah enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, attentive, and goes above and beyond, she’s the one. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
