“Mariah watched my pup while I went out of town at the last minute. My American Eskimo is an extremely shy dog. She went above & beyond to make sure he was comfortable and very well taken care of! I will definitely use her services again! :)”
“Kristina was great. She did a meet and greet before our trip, and gave an update with pics from her drop-in for our senior cats. They loved their playtime and attention.”
About: Ever since I was a teenager, family, friends, and neighbors have relied on my to pet-sit and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. Similar to my approach with cats, I introduce myself with confidence, caution, and respect while paying attention to the dog's body language. I've had the pleasure of meeting many dogs ranging from energetic ones that pull hard when walking, to low-energy dogs that either want light play or may have chronic pain. Whatever the case is, I'm quick to learn how to befriend them! I'm a recent graduate with a Computer Science degree, looking for full-time software work. The job search has been very slow to yield results, so I have very open availability while I search. As long as I'm not already booked on a given day, I'm open on any day of the week and at any time (including evenings). Unfortunately due to the pickiness of my two cats, Charlie and Pim, I'm unable to have any pets brought to my home. Regarding caring for pets at a client's home, I'm open to visits lasting many hours, or making multiple visits in a day. I have plenty of experience with cats and dogs, and can care for other mammals (I have minimal experience with reptiles and birds). As long as I have detailed notes on your pet's routine and special care instructions, I'll work diligently to ensure their daily routine sees minimal disruption while you're gone!
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adult hood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding about all different types of dogs. My experience in pet care comes from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and my current position as a vet tech assistant. I work part time as well as being a student so my availability varies week to week. However, my schedule has never interfered with any past dog sitting obligations. I can provide safe and loving visits during the day for playtime, a walk or just coming to hangout with your fur baby. I will make sure your pet stays happy and healthy whenever i'm around!
About: Ever since i got my dog 3 years ago i have started to take a liking to training and taking care of older and younger animals. I try to train dogs with what their owners want them to learn and with what i think will be best for them to succeed. I also try to give senior animals the time or their lives and for them to enjoy themselves I am currently a Lead summer camp teacher! I have been a teacher for the last couple of years. I normally get out of work at a reasonable time where I would do walking or check ins. I could check in and walk your dogs so when you get home you can have a nice relaxing evening after a long day of work! I have a fenced in yard back at my house where my adorable pup loves to run around and many toys for my dogs and cats to play with as well.
About: Lifelong dog lover with a caring heart and energetic lifestyle. Reliable, friendly, and available for midday walks or drop-ins. Your pup’s joy comes first, always! Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily life. I’m home with my young son during the day, so I build in time for dog walks and cat visits between 10am and 3pm — it’s become a calming, purposeful part of my routine. Whether it’s a midday walk or a quiet check-in with a shy cat, I really value the chance to connect with animals and offer them comfort and care while their people are away. It’s not just a side gig — it’s something that brings me joy and balance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their personality, needs, and routines so they feel secure and cared for, whether we’re out for a walk or I’m visiting your home. I treat every animal with the same attention and respect I’d want for my own. You can count on clear communication, dependable care, and a calm, positive presence. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet — and I don’t take that lightly.

About: I have a pup Labrador and he is my best friend. I’ve also taken care of multiple different kinds of dogs from small to big for many years. Also have dog sat for long weekends.

“Adina is super kind, dependable and attentive. A perfect match for our cat Lupe! Luckily she was available to book several drop-in visits with him.

Aimen A.
“I am Aimen’s mom. From a very young age, Aimen has had a genuine love and respect for animals. Whether it’s a tiny insect or a pet dog or cat, Aimen approaches every animal with patience, gentleness, and an understanding of their needs. Aimen has rescued many animals and found them loving homes, including his brother’s cat, Socks. Aimen is one of the most responsible people I know. When he commits to caring for an animal, whether it’s his own pet or a family member or friend’s pet, he follows through with consistency and diligence. He goes above and beyond to make sure they are well-fed, exercised, and comforted. Aimen has two cats of his own, Pim and Charlie. He takes the role of ‘cat dad’ very seriously providing them with the best care and many forms of exercise and enrichment. His respect not only extends to animals but to the people he interacts with. Aimen treats everyone with kindness and consideration, making him an absolute pleasure to work with and trust. I wholeheartedly recommend Aimen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful person to look after their pets. He is truly exceptional in character and compassion.”
Brianne B.
“It is apparent from Brianne's first interaction with our dog that she loves caring for animals! She has taken care of our dog on occasions daily if we are working long hours and has done overnight housesitting while on vacation. Our fur baby is in great hands with Brianne and she spoils her rotten. Brianne is dependable and provided us with pictures and updates while caring for our baby. She is our first call when we need a responsible pet sitter!!”

“Zoe is compassionate with every animal she encounters. Very friendly and hard working. Your animals will instantly love her. Choosing her would be the best choice for walking your dog.”
Taylor F.
“From the moment I met Taylor, I could tell she was a devoted animal lover. When we met she was raising three dogs, all rescues and all from broken homes. I watched her nurse them back to physical and emotional health within months of being in her care. She went above and beyond for her animals. In fact, she was a part of the Flint water crisis and I remember she made sure to stash a few cases of bottled water just for her animals. To this day, she still loves and cares for every animal she meets. She’ll always go above and beyond to make sure they get the proper care to live a happy and healthy life.”
