About: I've had dogs my entire life and cared for pets of others as well through the years. My husband and I both work from home so we have availability to look after the pets of others daily. We have a dog a cat who get along with other pets. We have adopted puppies and young adult dogs and successfully trained them to be very good dogs. We have cared for senior dogs as well. In our home the pets can be wherever the humans are, including the furniture indoors and outside. I am self employed and work from home so my daily schedule is very open for pet sitting. My husband also works from home so there is always someone home to look after the pets and make sure their needs are being met. Our home is very dog friendly. Everywhere humans can be the dogs can be also. The backyard is fenced in and the gate is rarely ever opened. We have cameras everywhere so we always have a visual of what's going on inside and outside in the yard. If needed we have a baby gate to section off areas for pets.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a little girl. My love for them has grown ever since. I’ve done pet sitting for neighbors in the past. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll have plenty of time to love and care for pets of all kinds. Walk, feed, whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and a loving dog that can keep your dog company. My little girl loves feeding them. They will be loved.
“Ms.Brooke was awesome! I was late by 1 hour almost dropping both my fur babies off-she was so patient and understanding. Ms.Brooke updated me throughout my trip about music and champ sent photos and even gave them both a Bath! My very skittish dog music didn’t even want to leave. Your Fur Baby! Will thank you for making the right choice!”
“Sherry was so excited to see Rocky come back. I love that he is so comfortable with us leaving him there. She loves on Rocky and is very diligent in caring for him. I appreciate her daily updates and photos to keep us posted on his adjustment.”
“Puppies aren't easy! Really appreciated Skyllar's willingness to care for our little lady. CoCo seemed very comfortable in her setting when I picked her up. Also loved the updates from Skyllar while we were away from our pup. Will definitely use Skyllar again if she's willing to take her!”
“Aiyanna made my experience very comfortable. I was out of the country but she made sure to still send my messages about Bentley. She even taught him how to watch tv 😂 we will definitely book with her again.”
About: I grew up with animals and recently adopted our golden girl — Ellie, and she is always ready for a play buddy! I will ensure that your pet feels safe and loved while you are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, playtime, or evening cuddles, I enjoy making pets feel loved and cared for throughout the day. I prioritize structure, attention, and affection, and I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home—even when their owners are away. I care for pets in my home as if they’re part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves having doggy visitors. Inside, pets have plenty of cozy spots to relax, and I maintain a calm, clean, and loving environment. I stick to your pet’s usual routines—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or bedtime habits—to help them feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.
“Heather is phenomenal and everything you’d want in a host - she was very responsive, flexible with drop-off and pick-up times; a genuine animal lover. When I arrived to pick him up, I could tell he had a good time and been in great hands. We will definitely use Heather again to watch Ash and would highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer and William were great sitters. I can tell that my Ruby thoroughly enjoyed herself. They kept me updated and provided pictures of her throughout the day. I will definitely be using their services again!”
About: I’ve had and taken care of animals dogs/cats my whole life. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am a vet tech and have been for 3 years. I have a lot of experience with all ages of cats and dogs. I work a full time job 4 days a week, 7:30-6. Off on weekends. I can stay over night/ multiple nights at others houses. If close enough I have a hour break everyday to where I could let animals out feed/check on them mid day. I can do just about whatever is requested. Also have extra skills such as trimming nails and others. Also tend to clean up a little bit if I spend a few days at someone else’s house.
About: I am a retired Vet Tech with 20 plus years working with dogs, cats, and many more! I can handle any medications and can manage special needs care, as well I have a very flexible schedule. This gives me the ability to care for pets in a variety of ways. We can go on walks, play fetch, and lounge on the couch. Whatever the need is I got it! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pup if needed, too!
About: I like to be Active and I strongly believe no pet should be cooped up All day.Pets are FAMILY not a toy only to be played when someone is bored I have four legged baby and we spend our time together. We wake up together and straight going for our early morning walk before it gets way to hot. We eat breakfast and we get down to the business by playing till SOMEONE not naming them by their name , needs a nap😂😂( talking about my four legged fur baby) As I catch up with daily chores around the house it already time for potty breaks and another round of zoomies and Hard core ball fetching. Day goes by very fast when you are having fun in this house. Before you know it's it's time for bed fallowed by plenty of night night snuggles. I have a fenced backyard for Zoomies or just have quiet lay down in the shade. Dogs can Play with toys inside or outside and have plenty of access if water and treats.

Her attention to detail is truly remarkable – she goes above and beyond, even remembering the smallest things like my pet's favorite treats and special bedtime blanket.

Jill T.
“Jill has a real talent with pets. Maybe it’s the way she notices them? My doggies, when they were puppies and when they were old, loved her. They always perked up when she was around. And I’ve seen this with other people’s pets as well. She’s worked in many different animal environments throughout her life, such as interning at a zoo and animal hospitals and veterinary clinics. Jill has a lot of experience and really knows how to take care of them. See if you can get her to take a picture, too. She’s a pretty darn good animal photographer!”
Luda M.
“Luda is very caring person and it shows when she takes care of the pets . I recommend Luda as She is very punctual and follows the instructions very well. I feel very comfortable leaving my pets with her. Definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will put your pets needs first.”
