About: My family has fostered dogs for the past few years, and we’ve had at least one family dog since I was born. I pet sit for my neighbors and family friends often, both cats and dogs alike, and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities! On the daily I take care of my family dogs. I take them on morning walks, make sure they don’t eat each other’s food, and give them PLENTY of play time, pets, and loves! I’m also well-versed in caring for anxious dogs, as our medium-size dog is very nervous at most hours of the day. I don’t believe in using fear tactics to punish dogs, such as time-outs or spraying them with water. Instead, I promote positive behaviors by engaging with them happily and giving them treats (if permitted) when they do something they’re supposed to do! With my clients, I take pets on walks or do a scheduled play time for as long as is requested, and I make sure they’re comfortable and fed every time I visit! If overnight or all-day stay is needed for particularly clingy pets, I’m completely open to discussing hours for that, and will never leave a pet alone or push it away if it needs a person there!

“Cayli took care of our last minute house sitting request to watch our 3 dogs. She took excellent care of them - keeping them happy and healthy while we were away! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone!”


“Nancy made it possible for our cats to enjoy their days just like usual during our two-week trip. Thanks to her, we were able to worry less about them while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and kindness. If we ever need someone to look after our cats again, we would definitely ask her. Thank you, Nancy!”


“Claire was absolutely amazing with our babies! It gave us such peace of mind to know they were being well taken care of and loved. She gave us updates, but didn't have to be in constant communication. We will definitely be calling Claire again!! 🐾🐾”


About: Being a pet-sitter isn't just a way for me to make money. It's a way of life that aligns with who I am. I've always felt most at peace around animals. Growing up with pets they were more than just companions. They were part of the family. So the idea that I can combine that love for animals with something I do for work is truly fulfilling. I spent 10 beautiful, years with my partner in crime, a Great Dane named Padmé. Being a bigger dog, I feel confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Other than volunteering at the Young-Williams Animal Shelter where I've been trained in canine handling, this is my primary job. I am currently available Monday through Sunday starting as early as 6am until 8 pm. I am flexible and can work within your schedule. I provide a calm and quiet introduction to allow your pet to become acclimated to my presence. On walks, I allow pups ample time to sniff and explore their environment on the walk.

“Randi stayed at our house for a week to housesit and petsit our 3 dogs and backyard birds. We don't often travel so it was an adjustment for us and for our pets but Randi was reliable, calm, and patient and had everything under control. She gave plenty of updates during the week so we weren't worried during our time away and we returned to a house that was clean and tidy, all of the plants were thriving and all pets were happy and healthy. If Randi is available to take care of our pets, we might try to travel again!”


“Gina was fantastic with my dog and cat, fed my pond fish and house sat. She is mature and responsible, came by the day before we left to meet the animals and get instructions. She texted me photos daily and the animals were happy when we returned after two nights away. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again in the future.”


“Jade was absolutely wonderful with Luna! Jade communicated regularly and sent photos which put my mind at ease while I was away. Luna looked so happy and well taken care of when we returned, and I could tell they had a great time together. I truly appreciated the extra touches Jade took, like spending extra time with her, letting her live in her Queen Victorian Fantasy era while watching movies, leaving a gift for me, and so much more. She also took great care of our home. I highly recommend Jade and will definitely book with her again! Thank you Jade!!!”
