“Lillian was great. Would definitely use her again. She took time to stop by prior to booking to meet us and our dog. She took excellent care of our King Shepherd and was prompt for the drop in visits. Great communication as well.”

About: My love for animals is the passion of my whole life. However, my lifestyle as an IT developer involves constant travel, and I don't keep a pet so as not to put it under stress. That is why I offer a unique service — looking after your pet in his native home. My work is remote, which allows me to combine two tasks: to provide your pet with care and attention in a familiar environment and at the same time work on my projects in a comfortable environment. I am not just a pet sitter, but a responsible animal lover who values their comfort and safety. As a freelance IT startup developer, I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available for pet care at any time from Monday to Friday, as well as on weekends. I can easily accommodate long walks and dedicate plenty of time to your pet throughout the day I exclusively provide services in the client's home, as this ensures your pet feels as comfortable and secure as possible in their own environment. I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, and daily habits. I guarantee your home will remain in perfect order. In the event of an emergency, I will immediately contact you and your veterinarian using the provided information
“Teri was fantastic! She went above and beyond trying to coax our timid cat out from under the bed. Everything was well taken care of and very timely. She was on top of everything and responded to communications very promptly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”


“Samantha has been amazing! She was so thoughtful and sweet and sent me updates about my pup. My little day can be kinda shy when left alone but Samantha has been so caring! We will have her come stay every time she is available! Totally recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of all dogs including seniors and puppies throughout my whole life. Many family members have trusted me with their dogs while they are out of town and I always love getting to spend quality time with their pets and comforting them while they’re missing their humans. I also had cats and kittens for a brief time when I was younger and I absolutely loved them! Each animal is unique and I love getting to know them! I have always felt a deep connection to all animals and recently earned a degree to work in wildlife conservation to help as many animals as I can!

About: There is no furry friend that I do no enjoy being around! I've had the opportunity to love and care for many different animals since I was very young.

I have owned, and taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes my entire life. I am able to give medication through injections, and am not shy with training either!

Don't hesitate to message me. I can work with whatever plans needed. I offer house sitting/pet sitting and dog walking. For both services I will be going to your home to either care for animals, or pick them up for a walk around your neighborhood. I look forward to seeing the next animal as it is always a special experience.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few years now, whether it’s for family friends or my old teachers, I love getting to spend time with animals! Each pet has something unique and lovely to offer 🫶🏼 I currently work part-time and go to college, so I have Wednesdays and Fridays free to myself! I’m very active and love to take walks, and enjoy being with pets, so I might as well mesh the two! I love to follow directions/lists, so I typically do whatever the owner normally does! It depends of course, but I’m very flexible and fine doing anything. :)
“Sierra and Seth, both watched our giant dogs today! They did several drop-ins and made sure the dogs needs were very well met at each one. They are also very communicative, which was so important because we have a large dog with reactivity issues and behaviors. Sierra and Seth were very responsive to our dog's needs, and willing to adjust and adapt when our reactive dog needed different kinds of support. We would love for them to sit for us again and their help was irreplaceable!”
About: Lifelong pet owner/lover. I've had dogs and cats since before I can remember and have experience in house sitting and pet care. I also have basic training skills with dogs. I love taking care of animals with my whole heart and can bond/adapt to animals needs very well. I currently work a part time job where my hours are usually 6-8 hours a couple days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I currently cannot board animals in my own home, but I can easily adapt to how you take care of your fur babies in your own home. I treat them as my own and want them to be as comfortable and happy as possible while their family away.
About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!
About: Hi! I’m a college student-athlete with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic puppies to wise senior pups. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and quirks. As someone who stays active, I’m more than happy to take your dog on long walks, jogs, or even runs — whatever fits their energy level. Whether your pup loves cuddles on the couch or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care you can trust. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. Please feel free to book my availability is open. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities. My home features a securely fenced yard, providing a safe and spacious area for your furry friend to play freely. I'm also very active and happy to offer energizing walks or park playtime for pets who enjoy it, always tailoring activities to their individual needs and your specific instructions. For overnight stays, my home is fully air-conditioned to ensure a comfortable environment. I also have kennels available if you prefer or if your pet requires one. You can trust that your dog will be cared for in a secure, comfortable, and engaging environment.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, crate training, and keeping pets active, happy, and safe. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits, I’m able to make pet care a priority throughout the week. When pets stay in my home, I keep their routine as familiar as possible. I follow their feeding schedule, provide plenty of potty breaks, and make time for daily walks and play. I keep a clean, pet-safe space and offer lots of companionship throughout the day. I monitor behavior, offer enrichment activities, and ensure they have a comfortable place to rest. I also send regular photos and updates so owners know their pet is happy and relaxed.
