About: I’ve worked with reactive large-breed dogs for over two years, and I’m trained in administering medications, maintaining behavior training, and handling a wide range of temperaments—from timid to high-energy. Whether your pet has scales, fins, fur, or whiskers, I’ve likely cared for one just like them! I’ve house-sat and pet-sat for dogs, cats, reptiles, aquatic pets—you name it. I take detailed instructions seriously, especially when it comes to animals who need extra patience or consistency. While I work a 9–5 weekday job, I’m fully available evenings, mornings, and weekends, and I’ll ensure your pets get plenty of attention, love, and structure when you’re away. Whether it’s letting them out in the yard in the mornings before work, or taking them for a morning walk/run. I’m capable of maintaining your pets schedules. Especially if they are used to their humans working an 8-5. I can be up early to make sure they’re good to go for the day. And spend the evenings with them as well. If exercise is needed, I’ll maintain whatever detailed schedule you leave me. The more details on your pets likes and dislikes, and routines, the better!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals pretty much my whole life. I have a huge heart bucket for animals. All animals deserve snuggles, hugs, and sunshine. I am looking to make this my main source of income so I’m free according to YOUR schedule which makes this easier! I’m young and can take your pets for runs! My cat and I have a routine, we play a lot and play Tag and fetch with his favorite ball. I feed him 2x a day and then we sit outside from time to time. He roams the apartment and does pretty much whatever.
“Andy was fantastic! She took great care of Higgins, paying special attention to his needs and anxiety. She took him to some of his favorite parks (and a new one) and created fun sniffing games for him to tire him out. Andy was communicative and flexible as some of our travel plans changed. She took great care of the house. We will book again with Andy!”
“Jonae is an absolute gem and so amazing with our puppy! We have a ten week old puppy with a broken leg and she took such great care of him. Not only is she great with him, but she is kind and lovely to chat with!”
“Hi, Miriam was excellent with my two huskies. She walked them frequently and kept me posted on how they were doing throughout my trip. I was impressed at our first meeting with the thoroughness of her questions.”
“Nicole does such a good job with our pup. She’s caring, attentive and puts us at ease entrusting our dog to her care. She sends periodic updates and lets us know he’s enjoying himself. We’ll definitely use again!”
About: I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 20 years and just recently decided to stay home with my kids full time. Pet sitting has always been something I’ve done on the side for family and friends, but now that I have more time available, I’m very excited to be able to love and care for your fur babies just like they were my own! I am currently available for daily walks and 2 potty breaks per day, and of course PLAY TIME! I also offer drop in services if you do not feel your pet needs a walk or additional exercise. I am available for any and all of your pet care needs, and with 20 yrs of previous veterinary experience, I am also comfortable giving both oral medications and injectables for diabetic patients. I love being around all animals because they provide a great sense of calm and familiarity for me. I always treat a client’s pet just as I would my own and they will receive endless love & attention while in my care. I do work part time during the week and have two young boys at home- while we are a very active family, I can usually carve out time even on work days for drop in visits or walks.
“Joanna has been an excellent in home pet sitter for our 2 dogs (one old and needy & one young and needy) multiple times now! We would definitely recommend her.”
“Tami went above and beyond staying with our furbaby Max at our home for 7 days. Max does not do well in a kennel environment. He is on a routine/schedule and gets upset when things are changed. His first night without us, Tami layed on the floor and gave him belly rubs at bedtime to make him comfortable. She sent pics, videos, and kept us updated on how Max was doing. Tami gave Max his allergy medication every night. She cleaned up before we got home. Our house was cleaner when we got home then it was when we left. If Rover had more stars to give her I would. Max got to go on a couple of adventures with her. She of course asked before. There is so much more Tami did for Max. Im afraid of running out of space. Max misses her already. He absolutely loves her and so do we. Tami will forever be our choice to take care of our home and Max.... Thank you Tami!”
“Grants first introduction with my pups was wonderful. He very responsive, and easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable knowing that we have someone we trust, and our boys enjoy. Couldn’t be more pleased. ?”
“Aimee was amazing. It was the first time leaving our pup and she gave me complete peace of mind, as I was nervous to do so! She sent me regular pics of him snuggling and playing. She took great care of him and we will definitely have her back!”

Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!
Miriam was nothing short of fantastic for our three dogs. Our dogs all need a little extra special care and she did great understanding and accommodating them. I can truly say this was first time we were gone from our house and did not have to worry about a thing. I cannot recommend Miriam enough of you are looking for a sitter.
Once again, Alex did a phenomenal job taking care of our pets. She communicates clearly and ensures that our pets are safe and happy while we are away. She even provided additional care due to a last minute travel emergency which helped ease our mind during a stressful time knowing our kitties and pup would be okay. Highly recommend!
