About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had dogs in my life. From growing up with family labs to currently caring for my own black lab named Mae! I love giving dogs a life full of fun, adventure, and exercise—whether that’s walks, hikes, games, or just quality playtime. As a former collegiate athlete and current physical therapy student, I bring energy, patience, and knowledge of safe movement, which helps me care for both energetic pups and senior dogs alike. I value treating every dog like family and strive to make each visit engaging, safe, and full of love for your precious pup :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a physical therapy student completing much of my coursework remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I am often available on weekends and have availability during weekdays as well, including evenings. Being active and organized, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and can provide dependable attention, exercise, and companionship for your four-legged family member When it comes to caring for dogs, I value giving them my full attention. From the moment I meet them I want to make sure we are getting outside and being active. I find so much joy in making sure their cup is filled whether that’s us hanging out or going on long walks:)
“Bec does a great job caring for our cats while we’re away and they are always my first choice for cat sitting. They’re always on time and share lots of photos. They even make our shy cat feel comfortable when we’re not around. Highly recommend Bec for cat sitting!”

“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”

About: I have cared for animals all my life! Cats and dogs have a special place in my heart and I am patient and gentle.

I am a natural early riser and am comfortable taking early morning walks. Weekends are open for overnight or frequent visits. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am comfortable safely harnessing and waking dogs. I am mindful of dog etiquette while walking and encountering other dogs.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with two schnauzers, which helped me develop a strong love for animals and confidence caring for different personalities and energy levels.

I’m very active, friendly, and dependable, and I enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dog walking and pet sitting. I am currently working part time, which gives me flexibility and availability during weekdays as well as some weekends for dog walking and dog sitting! I live in a townhome with lots of green outside areas. I have one dog, Honey, who is very friendly and loves other dogs and people!
About: I had a family dog growing up, and I have had two of my own dogs as an adult. I currently have a 10 year old goldendoodle who is the best being I know. I also have cared for and taken daily walks with another goldendoodle for a family that I work for. Love getting to know dogs and their personalities. Pets are simply the best! I make it a priority to take our dog to different parks and go for walks and spend lots of time snuggling. I look forward to getting to know your pets, what their needs are, and what makes them happy. I work part time, so I am able to easily fit in time between work hours to care for your dogs routinely. I generally have the most availability in the am. I have dog of my own who gets time outside, walks and play daily. I would be able to get your dog out for walks on a regular routine basis as I know how important this is for them.

About: I have experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats, since I have had animals at home since I was a child. To me, they are not just pets, but part of the family. I have learned to take care of their daily needs such as feeding, walks, basic hygiene, and most importantly, giving them love and attention. I also understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and commitment when it comes to their well-being. Caring for pets is not just a task for me it’s something I do with love and dedication. 🐾 I currently work during the day, but I am available to care for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and responsible when you can’t be there, and I am happy to provide loving, attentive care during those times. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I will make sure your pets feel safe and cared for. 🐾 I provide personalized care depending on each pet’s needs and the service requested. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, routines, and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and affection so they feel at home and loved. In my client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, go on regular walks, get exercise, and receive companionship and care. I also keep the area clean and provide updates to owners for peace of mind. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they are in my home or theirs.
About: I’ve owned a cat for four years and volunteered for several years at a dog shelter, working with litters of puppies, their moms, and anxious dogs. I grew up loving going to farms to interact with the variety of animals and horseback riding. This is the job I am taking up while preparing to go back to school and I intend to provide quality care to the animals I meet. I will make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and ask beforehand about any routines or preferences. I am proactive and ask clarifying questions if needed.
About: I’ve worked with a lot of different kinds of dogs big and small. I took a few classes with a guide dog company to learn to train dogs that are reactive. I have a puppy I’m raising who would love to meet your animals. I have to take care of my puppy and adding another dog to the schedule isn’t very hard for me to do. Every morning we go to the dog park and get some energy out after breakfast. I have a puppy that loves to hangout and play with all dogs. We do a lot of walking and go to the dog park every morning to get some energy out.
“Ava is wonderful! We’ve now used her for house sitting with and drop-in visits with our dog. Her communication is excellent, she is extremely quick to respond, very responsible and out dog loves her! Highly recommend! :)”

Elizabeth was amazing with Bella during her drop in visit. She was on time, very communicative, and clearly cared about Bella. The updates and photos were so appreciated and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.
