“Sam has quickly become our go-to pet sitter. He is incredibly communicative, attentive to our animals’ needs, and genuinely caring - not only toward our pets but also when it comes to our peace of mind. We always feel confident and at ease knowing our animals are in Sam’s care.”
About: I grew up with a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish), have been pet-sitting an even wider variety (parakeets, turtles) since I was a teenager, and also trained service dogs for two different organizations in college. I am currently the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends and family because they know I will treat their pets like my own (i.e. happy and spoiled). --- I have experience with pets in all stages of life, as well as those with special needs. If your pet takes medications or has a complicated feeding schedule, I can easily handle it (bonus points if you provide detailed notes, though!). I am an office worker with a hybrid schedule, so I’m only in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available for boarding and drop-in visits most weekdays, weekends and holidays. I own a small, single-story home with a large, fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of walking trails and parks nearby. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all. Pets are also welcome on the furniture (I mean, where else will those snuggle sessions occur?). --- I have one cat and two dachshunds, so my house is both cat- and dog-friendly. I provide several cat trees, scratching posts, and litter boxes throughout the house. I also have multiple dog crates, as well as ramps up to the bed and couches.
About: In my life, I have cared for nine dogs, one cat, two snakes, and a hedgehog. I find pets to be one of the greatest things about life and I love them dearly. Friends and family have asked me to pet sit since I was 14 and it's always been my favorite thing. I am currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday but with mostly online work so I will be available every weekday for about 4-6hrs each day, longer on the weekend. Unable to care for pets in my own home as I have my own cat that does not get along with most other pets however, I am able to care for your pets in your home any way that is needed including things like frequent potty breaks, mess clean up, daily walks, and plenty of play or nap time. I am more than willing to adjust to you and your pets needs.
About: I took care of my dog, Luna, since the first day she was born because her mom didn’t want her. I’d wake up every 2 hours to make sure she ate while she was little because I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Now she’s 4 years old running around with her parents and siblings. I have a cat, she recently turned one. I take her everywhere with me, she loves car rides now. At home I have dogs who I’d always look forward going to play with after work. Pets have been a part of my life for a while now and I enjoy it. When it comes to dogs, puppies, I know that most of the time all they want to do is play and I’m okay with that. I think it’s an important part of their life to keep them healthy and happy.I know some pets don’t like being alone and it’s makes me sad to see pets waiting by the door for their owners to show up. So I look forward to being with them whether it’s playing with them or just keeping them company while you’re out working or running errands.
“Alexandria is a phenomenal pet sitter! She watched our two cats while we were away and was highly communicative, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She sent us great updates and pictures of our cats. I would strongly recommend booking Alexandria to watch your pets!”
“Jen is FANTASTIC! Always on time and took such great care of my babies while I was away. She was also very accommodating when I asked her to stop by earlier than what we had previously scheduled. Truly cannot say enough great things! I wouldn’t trust my dogs with anyone else!”
“Was so patient with my anxious pup. She was able to gain her trust and successfully walk her. So communicative and a pleasure to speak to. I will be booking anytime I’m out of town and she’s available. She sent lots of pics and a sweet message when my dog finally allowed her to slip on the leash! 100/10 🤩🤩🤩”
“We had Sarah stop by and do a check-in on our brand new puppy. She was timely, took a handful of photos, and made sure our pup was comfortable and settled in her kennel before leaving. She did great! Highly recommend!”
“Rachel does an amazing job walking my three dogs. She has such patience and a wonderful personality. Plus great communication with me on weather, rescheduling, and when she’s on the way. I really rely on her. Rachel is the BEST!”
“Abby was great taking care of our boxer while we were out. She got alone with Sabrina right away or vice verse. From the first visit, we knew we were in good hands and she was very professional and if we ever need services again, we will not hesitate to contact her. Highly recommend to friends and family.”

About: I consider myself a passionate and reliable animal lover with lifelong experience in caring for, feeding, and exercising dogs. I have a flexible schedule and I’m available for early mornings, weekends, and short notice requests. I look forward to providing a safe, active, and engaging walking experience for clients’ pets. Managing pet care is second nature to me and dictates how I plan my day. With my flexible job I can accommodate early morning, midday, or late night walks. Pet care is treated as a priority and I see to it that fresh water, meals, and exercise fit into everyday plans. Every walk needs to be adapted to the environment. Safety is my top priority and I am constantly scanning for potential harmful situation that may be encountered.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not just my love for animals, but the hands-on experience and skills I bring to every visit. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies learning basic commands to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, administering medication when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort before they become a problem. I’m currently a student and a part-time worker , so I will have a great amount of time to hang out with the animals ! I am able to do the mornings ! In the afternoon, and at night! If there are any questions about times of my classes, please feel free to ask! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest while ensuring a clean, pet-friendly environment with safe toys and plenty of space. I take extra precautions—like double-checking doors, securing leashes, and monitoring for hazards—so you can trust your furry family member is always protected. To give you peace of mind, I provide regular photo or video updates, and I care for every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

When I returned home and saw my dog thriving, I knew I had found someone who genuinely cares. Kelly gave my Bulldog exceptional attention, going far beyond basic care. Knowing each visit was full of affection, bonding, and thoughtful support allowed me to be away with complete peace of mind. I’m truly touched and so appreciative of Kelly’s dedication
