“Shea was amazing! I usually have family watch my dog, so this is the first time I have had someone outside the family watch her. I felt very comfortable and at ease the entire time. Shea did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I will be using her services again in the future :)”


“Allysa did a great job watching Jayla while we were away for my daughter’s wedding. I appreciated her communication and photos she sent while we were gone. She was very accommodating with providing the same routine with Jayla that we do when we are home. House was also clean when we returned. Will definitely have her watch Jayla again!”


“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”


“Elizabeth was phenomenal to work with. She kept us updated and sent plenty of photo updates. She even offered to stay later than originally planned so that our dog didn’t need to spend as much time in her kennel until we returned home. The house was picked up and clean (more than we had left it!) and she even washed the sheets and remade the bed so it was one less thing on our to do list! So thankful to have such an amazing sitter!”


“I had Sofia watch my dog and cat on an extended weekend where I went out of town, and she was awesome. She informed me every morning of how they were doing and sent pictures. She is very trustworthy and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”


About: I’ve had animals since I was born. Dogs, cats, chickens, and eventually convinced my dad of horses. We’ve had 2 litters of puppies, so I’m experienced in pups as well! I went to Texas for 3 months to train barrel horses and learned so much! I’ve worked alongside my equine vet for MANY years, and have learned a ton from her as well. My love for animals is what everyone notices about me. One of my very first words, was “horse” believe it or not! I am 19, have TONS of referrals, clean driving record, and have been trusted to stay in other families home while they are away:) My work schedule varies. One of my jobs is from 2-10:30 pm, where my other one is 7(or 8) am-4pm. I can wake up early to let them out before work, as well as stop out after work! Times don’t matter to me as long as the animals get taken care of twice daily, I will wake up and stay up as early and late as necessary! I live at home with my parents, as for right now I do not accept animals in home. I offer staying at families homes while they’re gone, doing drop-in’s, and walking!

“Marsha was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs are not always easy to manage but she did an outstanding job adapting to their needs. Our dogs loved her and we felt comfortable with her staying at our home. We would absolutely have her watch our dogs again! 🐶”


“Erienne was incredible! I came hope to very happy pups. I really appreciated the daily updates. Will definitely be asking her back to watch the pups in the future!”


“Aphra is an absolute champion! She showed up on time, was incredibly kind, and went above and beyond from start to finish. She took the time to interview me before even meeting my dogs, making sure she understood everything they needed. Throughout the day, she stayed in touch, sent photos, asked questions, and gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience”


About: I have always lived with a cat. Every friend I have has either a cat or dog or more. I have had exotic animals as well. From breaded dragons to praying mantis. First thing I do make sure to feed everyone. Moving the cat bowls back down because the dog likes to try to eat them at night. The dog gets walked before she eats. We just bought a walkway to help our aging cats reach the food bowls. We have three separate feeding areas. So that everyone can eat. One of our cats has anxiety. We have gone through various methods until we find the one that works to relax her.

About: Pet Care Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, fostered dogs, and worked professionally as a supervisor in a dog and cat boarding/daycare facility. There, I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including reactive pups—and was trained in K9 body language and behavior. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my ability to handle challenging situations calmly, and my genuine love for spending time with animals—whether it’s playing tug, going for a run, or just laying in the sun. I’m also experienced with senior care and puppy needs, and always keep safety and communication with pet parents a top priority. My flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever your furry family member needs a little extra attention or playtime! I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a flexible and consistent schedule. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because I'm already home and used to managing multiple responsibilities. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing extra attention and care, I’m able to give pets the time and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routines, and any specific needs or health concerns. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment that’s clean, secure, and free of hazards. I provide structure, supervision, and plenty of affection to help pets feel calm and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I respect the space, keep communication open, and always update owners with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and safe.

“Abby was great! Easy to communicate with and took great care of our cats!”


About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. I've raised puppies, trained them and cared for them through all stages of life. Dogs are my passion! I am available most days, and anytime! My schedule is my own, not working for anyone else. This gives me total freedom to be available whenever you need my services. How do you choose someone to take care of your best friend and know you can trust them? I asked myself this question and realized that I would want someone like me to watch my own dogs. The reason? I simply adore dogs and treat each one like my own. When your pup is with me, know that they are my priority. Their safety and well being come first. I have a fenced yard and we live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have 3 Pomeranians that are sweet and get a long well with other dogs and one rescue mixed breed who loves everyone! Dogs in my home do have freedom to roam, get cozy on the furniture, play in the fenced yard and sleep in bed with us. I will love your pup as if they are one of my own! I have lots of room in my home. I have areas where your pup can be away from my dogs if they prefer that. Know that your dog will be treated like a priority while in my care. Their well being will never take second place to one of my own.

About: I bring comprehensive animal care experience enriched by formal education in veterinary technology, combining hands-on caregiving with a strong foundation in animal health and medical knowledge. Over several years, I have provided attentive and compassionate care to a diverse range of animals including dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds. My kid's dad and me are responsible animal lovers. Our family always has someone at home loving and caring for our dog and two cats. Our home has plenty of love to go around! I have a big backyard for our dog to play. He is fed in the morning and evening and let out as often as he wants. Our cats are indoor cats that are well taken care with a litter box cleaned twice a day.

About: I have been around pets for as long as I remember. I have helped feed, bath, walk and take care of animals as small as kittens and puppies and as big as Great Danes. I am good with all animals. I have 2 fur baby cats of my own 1 year old and an 8 year old. I’ll take care of your pets as one of my own. ❤️ I currently work M-F 8am-4:30pm so depending on where you live I can do drop in care early morning and evenings. I’m available for house sitting Saturdays and Sundays. I’d love to take your pets for a walk during the weekday evening when it’s not too hot for your pet, but they can still enjoy the daylight. While in your home, I will give your pet lots of love ❤️ I will feed them based on instructions from you. If needed I can crate them when I’m away. I will take your dogs out for a walk with each drop in visit and I’ll make sure to walk them 2x a day when house sitting as to give your dogs enrichment and exercise. If you have cats I will play with them for 30 minutes per drop in visit and a minimum of an hour each day I am house sitting. You can ensure that all your pets will be cared with the utmost care and respect and love that they all deserve

About: I grown up with dogs my whole life. The first two dogs I had were black labs which I had from when I was 1-14. I always took care of them even in their old age. Currently I have two dogs who are pit bull/Great Dane mixes who are 2 1/2. So I’m very well versed with different ages of dogs! I currently have things on Monday-Thursday. But it will change in the summer(mid June), then I’ll have complete full availability for anytime of day! As I won’t be in dance anymore and work will not be in session in the summer! I will make sure your dog is comfortable with me in their home. I try to be inviting and welcoming as possible, especially with meeting any animal for the first time! I will do my best to follow their normal routine to make sure they feel right at home!

About: Have house sit for friends and family and watched their pets. I grew up with a dog since I was 3 and every encounter I’ve had with animals has been nothing but pleasant I am taking classes online right now, but I am available Monday-Friday and weekends if needed! I love pets and they honestly are destressing for me so I’ll be able to take time for your pets! I live in an apartment complex, on the second floor. We have a small patio, but the apartments have a designated dog park area that’s fenced in as well for them to get their zoomies out!

About: I am on time, make sure the dogs get attention, I feed them and get them water, and make them feel loved! I love to play with the dogs and walk them! I am available most days to help out with animals, and I have a flexible routine! I work a few days but can make things work in my schedule! I don’t ignore the dogs! I make them feel loved and make sure they have what they need and are being well taken care of!

“Isabelle was fantastic! Met her the first time and whole heartedly trusted her with Benny. I left the country for a week and there were no issues or questions from her while I was away. Good communication and my place was just how I left it. Would recommend if you’re looking for someone you can trust with your loved one and home 🤍”


About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I love how each animal has a different personality. I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I work full time during the day, Monday through Friday. I would be available in the evenings and weekends to walk, feed, let outside, and board. I have two friendly dogs who love to play. We do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a long tie out leash. I am available to come to your home in the evenings to feed, play, and let your dogs out if you are not able to.
