So happy to have found Leanne! We needed a last minute booking for several visits a day for a few days. She was so reliable and took great care of Emma. She even saved a few of our large plants on deck because of high wind. We will surely booking with Leanne again!

About: Hi! I’m April, and caring for animals has always been part of who I am 🤍 I live a calm, home-centered lifestyle and truly love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even backyard animals, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, gentleness, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pet. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and very in tune with animals’ needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a slower approach, I meet them where they are. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting I’m happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. My goal is simple — to give your pet a peaceful, loving experience while you’re away 🤍 I’d love to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pups. I'm great with animals and trustworthy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space. I can also walk your dog in or around my yard. I will keep your pet safe at all times.

Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!

About: Hi, Matt here. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is that I understand dog behavior, routines, and needs from real, hands-on experience—not just from reading about it. I’m calm, reliable, and confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or more laid-back and just want companionship. I pay close attention to detail, follow instructions closely, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure owners have complete peace of mind. I’m currently a full-time teacher and will have open availability in the summer time to care for your pets! During the school year I am also available after 3:30 PM on weekdays for any walks, drop ins, etc. I have two dogs on my own and I am focused on safety! Pets will always be secure with a leash while on walks and kept away from other animals walking by. If being let out in the yard I always double check that the fence is secured, and there are no areas where dogs can escape.

Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!

About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 10. I am often called the pet whisperer by family and friends because their pets often do things they don't normally do with people they don't know well. I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate the needs of the pets to walk and feed take care of them from daily to weekly where needed. At this time I do not have any yard space or ability to have pets stay with me at my house. I am willing to stay at the pet owners home if needed or stop by for their care needs.

About: As a pet sitter, my focus is on providing individualized and attentive care to each furry friend. I excel in understanding the unique needs and personalities of pets, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience while their owners are away. From playful puppies to senior companions, I adapt to their routines and provide the necessary care, be it administering medications, accommodating specific diets, or simply offering companionship. Open communication with pet owners is a priority, providing regular updates and remaining accessible for any concerns or special instructions. This personalized and tailored approach ensures that each pet in my care receives the attention and affection they deserve, setting me apart as a reliable and dedicated pet sitter. As a graduate student, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities. I integrate pet care into my routine by meticulously organizing my schedule. I allocate specific time slots during the day for feeding, walks, playtime, and overall care for the pets I look after. I ensure that their needs are met without compromising my academic commitments. Additionally, I use breaks and study intervals to engage with the pets, providing them the attention they require. My dedication to time management allows me to responsibly and effectively incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring the pets receive the care and love they need while I manage my academic pursuits. When caring for pets, whether in my home or at a client's residence, I approach each furry companion with the same level of care and devotion I give to my own. I fully understand the significance of pets in our lives—they are family. In both settings, I create a safe, nurturing environment where their well-being is my top priority. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space, offering a comfortable setting akin to their own environment. Regular exercise, playtime, and adhering to their specific routines are integral aspects of their care. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are of utmost importance. Additionally, I make certain that they feel loved, just as they would in their own home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I maintain a consistent routine, following all instructions provided by the owners. I create a familiar and comfortable atmosphere for the pet by ensuring their surroundings and schedule remain as close to normal as possible. I spend quality time with them, engaging in activities they enjoy and providing the affection and care they need while their owners are away. Understanding the depth of the bond between pets and their families, I approach each pet with the empathy and love I have for my own pets. I recognize the integral role pets play in our lives and ensure that they receive the same level of care, attention, and affection that I would give to my own beloved animals.
