“Fiona was a great dog-sitter for my girl Cookie! She was communicative, showed up on time, and did great with Cookie. I felt confident that she understood my instructions for Cookie’s care and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Cookie. I also really appreciated the pictures she took of Cookie throughout their time together (it def helped to give me peace of mind). We are looking forward to seeing Fiona again 🎉🐶”


“Kat was a good send, last minute I was in need of someone to come and take care of my 7th month old puppy and stay at my place. She responded to my post in hours and was flexible as I figured out If it could work. She agreed to come and meet me first so we can connect since this was the first time I had ever hired a dog sitter. She took great care of my puppy and it was clear she is a natural. She took our pupp6 to her office well she worked, which was great because I meant she was never alone for too long. She took great care of the house and left it in great shape. I'm so glad that I found Kat for the next time. We need a do sitter.”


About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I understand that every animal is unique. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior cat who loves a gentle routine, or an energetic dog in need of extra exercise, I provide personalized attention to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart? ✅ **Reliable & Attentive:** I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being and emotional needs. ✅ **Experienced in Special Care:** I’m familiar with administering medications, handling senior pets, and understanding different temperaments. ✅ **Flexible & Communicative:** I keep pet parents updated with detailed check-ins, photos, and reassurance that their furry family member is in great hands. ✅ **Passionate About Enrichment:** Whether it’s stimulating playtime, structured walks, or maintaining a comforting routine, I focus on keeping pets happy and engaged. I take pride in building trust—not just with pets, but with their humans too. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond, I’d love to connect! I work mostly from home, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets. I do occasionally have to go out, but I never exceed a 4-5 hour period of leaving your pets alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine. I respect their space, provide companionship, and ensure they have everything they need—from fresh water and meals to enriching playtime and walks. Communication is key, so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins, photos, and any necessary observations.

“Alleen stayed with my Banjo while I was away for the Holidays and she took such great care of him. She’s kind, observant, caring and respectful. She’s also very knowledgeable about dogs and their needs. I really appreciated her services and the care she gave while I was away, I highly recommend Alleen and would book her again.”


“Asa was great with my boys and sent daily photos and info. I felt like I could relax on my trip knowing my cat and dog were being well taken care of! Would definitely request Asa again! 😁”


“Erik was wonderful with our 2 dogs. He sent us daily pictures and maps of the walks. Our dogs were happy and very well cared for! Erik was also flexible and stayed an extra day which was an absolute life saver for us!! I highly recommend Erik without any reservations…and will be booking his services again when needed.”


“Dorothy was amazing! She was so helpful with the animals and helping with medications as well as sending updated photos a few times a day. Great communication and very friendly and warm. She also left the house spotless and as clean as I left it! Absolutely would rehire!”

“Gabriel was fantastic! After several attempts at a house sitter and watching our two dogs, one of them large, Gabriel took the stress off of us during our vacation. Great communication, lots of pictures, and the house was well cared for. Highly recommend Gabriel!!!”


About: When I wasn’t with my horse or loving on my own pets, I was the go-to pet sitter for family and the neighborhood dog walker for anyone who needed an extra hand. I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—including my sweet puppy Blossom, who was in a wheelchair and had hydrocephalus (water on the brain). She needed round-the-clock care, and I was there for every moment, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets deserve—especially those with special needs. I’m caring, loving, and endlessly patient, and I promise to treat your fur baby like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a good old-fashioned game of fetch, I look forward to being the reason your pet can “smile” during the day… even if I have to make silly faces or use my best squeaky-toy voice to do it! Lol. I already spend part of my week walking dogs for a friend, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Since I work from home, I’ve got plenty of flexibility for walks, hikes, playtime, and all the tail wags and happy zoomies your pet needs! Let me know what YOU prefer for your fur baby. (: I’m more than happy—and honestly, I prefer—to come to you! It gives me a nice break during my workday and lets me spend quality time with your pet in their own space. I’m great at reading animal behavior and body language, and I have experience caring for pets with special needs (I had my own), as well as handling aggressive behavior, food aggression, nervousness (I’ve fostered pups with these challenges), training, crate training, and more. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll adapt to make them comfortable and happy!

“Ron took care of our two dogs overnight. He initially came over for a meet and greet, which was helpful. He’s a great communicator and sent us lots of pics and updates. Highly recommend.”


“Tyler and Sam were great! They took great care of our dog, were respectful of our home, and were very communicative. When we got home our dog was a happy boy and our house was spotless. Would be happy to book them again!”


“Rusty took care of two our elderly ladies with love and skill. She seems to be unflappable in dealing with mini crises. We hope that giving her a glowing review won't mean she's unavailable the next time we need her!”


About: I have had dogs since I was born, so growing up pets have always been impotent to me. I have learned the best ways to take care of them, and I am experienced in exactly what your pet will need! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I get off work at 3:00, and usually don’t work weekends. I always have time to walk and take care of my little guy at home. I am 100% willing to come to your home! I will stick to the schedule and rules you have for your pet, and make sure they are as comfortable as they are when you’re home!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past 6 years! Anywhere from as little as chihuahuas and multipoos to golden retrievers and husky's! I have a dog of my own who is a golden retriever that I see as my child. ** I can sit dogs that are not neutered or spayed. However, I will not take in both at the same time. Therefore, if I’m already sitting a dog that is not spayed, I won’t be able to take in a dog that is not neutered on those days and vice versa! I work part time but my work schedule is all over the place. I can usually be very flexible especially if I’m working night shifts Your pets will always be taken care of with me :) I have a spacious backyard that has a fence, of course! I also have a wonderful neighbor for walks and a dog park that is walking distance

About: Understanding this is your first baby I will care for them with so much love and care. I have integrity, am responsible for your family member. I work part-time so I will have the flexibility to care for your pet and am available on the weekends. On my shorter days I can do potty check ins as well. I have a fenced in backyard and love going on walks or or just hang out inside. I can adapt to any special requests to stick with ones already set in routines.

“Mia provided tender love and care to my sweet pups. Not only did she feed and walk them as asked but went above and beyond cuddling playing and snuggling with them. She even sent me pics when I asked her too. Not that cleaning was part of her job at all, but I did come home to a sparkly clean kitchen which was such a nice surprise.

I highly recommend her to take care of other peoples animals.”
