“Joanna is the best! She stayed with our dog for just under a week in our home and took the best care of her. Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and requires medication and Joanna made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Sent lots of pictures and daily updates. When we got home, our house was spotless and just as we left it. We will definitely be using her services again!”


“We have 2 large dogs, a puppy, and three cats - so its a lot of work- and Kaitlyn did a great job house sitting for us! All instructions were followed, pictures and videos were sent, good communication and respectful to our home! It's hard to find someone to step in fully when you are away but Kaitlyn does just that!”



“I would definitely recommend Ross! He made our girl feel right at home, and kept the same routine as we would. Provided us with plenty of photo updates as well. She enjoyed all her walks and extra treats.”


“She was absolutely amazing with our three German shepherds! One of the first times we felt like we never had to worry about anything on a trip! She took care of everything and communicated with us often. We could not have asked for a better person! We will definitely be asking for her help again. Thank you so much!!!”


“Angela was wonderful with our Annie, prompt and attentive and kept us updated throughout out the day with photos. Angela was very personable. We are on vacation and so happy she was available to watch Annie on the days we're out and about.”


“Jenna went above and beyond to make sure that my animals and that I were comfortable when house sitting for me. She was reliable and respectful of my things. I would highly recommend her, she will not let you down.”


“I contact her on short notice and she was able to be with my fur babies. I was a little nervous because the older one has sun downs and paces. She gave him his medicine and loved on both of them. Definitely going to use her again. She saved my trip.”


About: As an avid animal lover, pet care feels less like a job and more of a privilege. I have been dog/house-sitting for 6+ years as well as having worked in a boarding and daycare facility with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have the opportunity to work remotely from anywhere with a good wifi connection which will allow me to be present throughout the day with your pet(s). My ultimate goal is to help your pet feel as safe with me as they do when you're home. Whether they have a specific routine or a more go-with-the-flow kinda schedule, I'll make sure to follow it to the best of my ability.

“Allison is a dog whisperer! She loves dogs and did an amazing job taking care of my doggo. I would recommend her to anyone. She sent me pictures every day so I felt she was in good hands. We also FaceTimed so I could see and talk to Cookie. Reliable and consistent too.”

About: I’ve grown up in a home full of dogs and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. Today, I have a sweet female Goldendoodle of my own named Murray, who’s a big part of my life. I also have experience with cat sitting for family and friends. I’m that girl who stops to help a lost pup or cat and won’t rest until I’ve reunited them with their owner. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My job allows me to work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can be available as needed to care for your pet. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—because I know how important consistency is for pets. I also make sure to give them plenty of affection and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away.

“Claire was amazing! Our Great Dane Ruby who we have never left alone loved her! Ruby is a very anxious dog and Claire made her feel safe and took amazing care of her and our house!”


About: I've taken care of many animal types throughout my life, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses and cattle. I love a good walk at the park with my dogs! Any animal interaction fills my cup! Animal care will be my part time job for my summer off of college! I will be available weekdays Monday-Thursday from 6am to 8pm. I love getting to know pets personalities and enjoying quality time with them for excercise and care. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to play, as well as knowledgeable experience of keeping pets safe at home and outdoors.


About: My responsibilities encompass medication administration for geriatric canines, guaranteeing they receive thorough care under my direct supervision. This includes topical ophthalmic treatments and oral medication delivery. Prior to commencing work, I administered ophthalmic drops to my canine companion to alleviate her discomfort. She has a structured toileting schedule and receives comprehensive support. Pampered pooches rejoice! From bath time bliss to daily strolls, your furry friend will be living the good life. Medication management is a breeze, ensuring your pet's health is always top-notch. I take the worry out of pet care so you can relax and enjoy your companion. It's the ultimate in canine comfort and convenience.

“Candice did a very nice job house/dog sitting for 10 days. Everything was well attended and the dogs were happy and healthy. Despite a massive wind storm on the first day that took down a major part of a large tree and knocked out the electricity for 4 hours, Candice communicated with us and managed what might have been a very difficult time. We would definitely have her come again.”


About: With many years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, I’ve had the joy of looking after animals as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s a tiny kitten or a large, energetic pup, I’m confident and comfortable meeting their needs with patience, love, and understanding. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I truly treat every pet I care for like they’re my own, always showered with affection, attention, and respect. I’m currently working part time and work about 4/5 days out of the week, but I am also in cosmetology school and I attend that Tuesday-Friday 9am to 3pm and Saturday 8am-4:30pm. When I’m not at either of these places, I can be with your baby. No matter what, I will always be there for them in the morning and evening, if I’m not scheduled to work then I can be with them as soon as I’m off school. I have experienced having dogs who use an electric fence, wire fence, and even no fence. If I know the dog can be suspicious when left unattended I always stay outside with them until they get all the zoomies and potties out, if they’re okay on their own I usually let the dogs stay out for 20 minutes to play. If a dog doesn’t have any fence and needs someone with them, I like to take them for walks or walk them around the yard on a leash. I’ve always fed my dogs once in the morning and once at night but have also cared for dogs who are fed just once, or even dogs who are fed raw ingredients. Depending on the person, I have also cared for people’s plants like making sure they’re watered too. When staying at someone’s house, I always make sure all doors stay locked and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. I like to leave the house looking as if no one was there and do my best to respect the home owners and home owners surrounding.

About: Hi pet parents! My Name is Haleigh and I’ve been pet sitting for 8+ years! I currently work with dogs in my job and have for about 2 years now. As a dog parent myself I can understand how anxious we can be when we’re away from our pets. Your pets will always remain safe with me as I am pet CPR + first aid certified! I try to send as many pictures/videos of your pets and give updates to ease your anxiety and assure you! In my care, your pets will always be happy and well taken care of! When it comes to dogs no breed is bad. I especially love the giant cuddly pups! Not only am I trustworthy but I am reliable for you and your pets! I have experience with all sizes and breeds, aggressive dogs, anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, dogs who need medications cats/kittens, and I even have little dog training experience + advanced dog behavior knowledge. When staying in your home I stay very tidy and clean up well after myself and the pets. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me. I hope to meet you and your pups soon 🐕🤍 I have plenty of time to care, play, and love on your pets! When your animals are in my care they are my first priority! I always love getting details/instructions on how your routine is with your dog so I can stay the closest to your dogs routines. Dogs are based off of structure and I know how important a routine is to them. Like mentioned, I am experienced with many types of dogs including aggressive. In my care, dogs will always be safe and in a positive environment. Please be sure to let me know of any special diets + allergies that your pets have.

About: My journey with animals started early. I got my very own puppy when I was 12 years old and took her through all the training classes, determined to be the best little dog owner I could be. Since then, my love and care for animals has only grown stronger. In my adult life, I've raised two amazing pups. My sweet boy Ozzie, a shih tzu/bichon frisé mix, crossed the rainbow bridge in late 2024 after a brave battle with cancer. Now I share life with my little guy Tobie — a toy poodle/mini schnauzer mix who's been with me since he was just 20 weeks old. He's now 7, full of personality, and spoiled with love (as it should be!). Outside of pet care, I’m a wife, a mom to a fun-loving toddler, and I work a full-time job during weekday hours (roughly 9–5). That said, I still have a flexible schedule and am more than happy to carve out time for your furry friends. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, a drop-in buddy, or a caring house sitter, I’ve got you covered. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets — someone who will care for them like you do. When your pets are with me, they’re treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are. While I currently don’t offer pet sitting in my home until I’ve built a relationship with your pet, I’m more than happy to care for them in their own familiar space. I’ll follow your routines, respect your house rules, and do everything I can to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe even like they're the ones on vacation! 😊
