Lindsay was quick to reply when we picked u[ our new family member that needed potty breaks while we work. She's dependable and has been great caring for our almost 12 week old Golden St. Berdoodle. We are heading into week 3 using her services and plan to continue for a long time with her.

Kristina provides excellent care for my two dogs. She is very flexible and put this anxious dog mom at ease when I suddenly had a massive change in my work schedule. Easy and consistent communication that I appreciate. I'll continue to use her for my dog care needs. Thank you Kristina!

Zoe was very kind and took good care of our baby Luna while we were away on a weekend trip. She did a good job of communicating with us and taking pictures and sending us updates. We would definitely have her come over again in the future!

Sarah is new to our dog, Bailey, today. Having only first met Sarah, we are impressed. She asked questions demonstrating experience with caring for animals and particularly job. We are comfortable after meeting with a Drop-In visit, that we can rely on Sarah for her soon visit for the next appointment.

About: I have cared for and owned all different kinds of animals. I have been in the horse riding industry since I was 8 years old so I am not skiddish towards other animals. I truly have a passion for animals and I am very able and willing to do what it takes to take care of your beloved pets!! I am currently a full time student, however I am a commuter so I have the ability to travel freely in between classes and outside of classes. I am on summer break from May-September and have a virtually free schedule for whatever you may need! I am more than happy to confine to whatever you may need me to do in order to give your pet the best care possible. I have slept over, done drop ins, walks, etc. with other dog and cat sitting jobs and I am very comfortable.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs and cats, as I have owned both. I used to have a Siberian husky who I was used to walking everyday, and I am looking to get back into walking a dog. I have cared for friends and neighbors cats while they are on vacation. I currently work full time during the day but am looking forward to summer nights when I can walk after work. I am free at any time on Wednesdays. I am looking to start with just dog walking and drop in visits with cats to see how that goes. Unfortunately with my work schedule I don’t think I could care for someone’s dog while they are away.

About: Hello there! I’ve watched many of my friends and family’s dogs numerous times for one week, two weeks, sometimes three weeks or longer, overnight and during the day. I am very attentive and caring with pets. I absolutely love dogs! I love playing with dogs, walking dogs, giving them all the love they deserve! I currently have a very open schedule to assist you with your dogs so they receive the best care ever! I’m looking forward to giving your amazing dogs the best care ever! I keep my house very clean and free of harmful objects that dogs can get into and cause potential harm to them. I always make sure my dogs are let out frequently enough to go to the bathroom and given plenty of time outside, I will always make sure they have plenty of water to drink, always enough food to eat and of course plenty of dog treats and all the play time!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I previously volunteered at iHeart Dogs, where I worked with rescue dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds. I also have personal experience training my own dogs, including a high-energy pup and a senior dog with epilepsy who requires daily medication. What sets me apart is my understanding of both behavioral training and specialized care. I’ve worked with dogs on basic obedience, leash training, and socialization, and I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and injectable prescriptions. Whether your pet needs structured training reinforcement, extra patience, or just lots of love, I’m here to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care. Dogs make my world go around. I’m lucky enough to be able to provide care for those who can’t always be there for their babies, and nothing makes me happier than helping families ensure their pups are loved, appreciated, and well cared for! I am currently working part time at a gym weekday evenings and weekend mornings. I am available for walks or play dates weekday mornings and early afternoons or weekend afternoons/evenings! Sundays I am free any time! :) For in-home care, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where dogs have room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. If a dog is boarding with me, I introduce them to my own dogs slowly and safely to ensure a smooth transition. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I do their pets. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so pet parents feel at ease knowing their furry friend is happy and safe. I’m also experienced in handling dogs with special needs and can administer medication as needed. No matter the service, I take every precaution to ensure a safe, fun, and loving experience for every pup in my care! Also love taking photos and videos of dogs- happy to send you everything of your dog I have or if you prefer privacy I am happy to respect your wishes and not take any photos or videos if that is what is requested! (No judgement here!!) I am not offering overnight stays at this time but might open up to this opportunity if I become close with a family/dog and I feel there would be a good fit! :)

About: I have worked in the veterinary medical field for 6+ years and have thousands of hours of experience as a veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, with all different personalities- that’s what makes them all unique and I love it! I am currently very flexible with my weekly routine and I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand if you feel more comfortable. As an avid cat owner, I have Toulouse naturally leash-trained. I have an enclosure for him so he can enjoy the outside, while also being safe. At clients’ homes, I follow all instructions to make sure the pet is safe. I also will make sure the pet is always in my sight if outside.

About: I’m majoring in business and I own a long haired chihuahua. I’ve cared for neighbor’s and family’s dogs in the past by walking and dog sitting. I’m on a very flexible schedule, so most times during week days I will be able to walk your dog! I’m excited to take them on walks :) For dog walking, I like to make sure we walk in areas with sidewalks that are safe. I’d bring water to keep your dog hydrated, especially if it is warm out!

About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.

Jo is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She takes such thoughtful, loving care of Jake every single visit. She plays with him, gives him tons of affection, and always makes sure he gets outside time to explore. I love that she even updates me on the things he forages in the backyard — it shows how closely she pays attention to him. She keeps his water fresh, gives him his ice‑cube snacks, and sends the cutest photo updates. I feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Thank you, Jo!
