“Alexandra was great to our two fur babies. She came to meet them in advance and they already seemed to like her. She was able to give one of our cats his medications each time she came, she played with them, and she gave them lots of love. She was also very prompt in her communication and provided lots of pictures each time.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and took the responsibility of taking care of and training our family dogs. They all turned out great with my first dog becoming a therapy dog helping children. Can’t imagine a world without a dog by your side! I currently work in a school system so during holidays, school breaks, and the summer I’m the most free but can always help once I get out of school as well. Great backyard with a pup to play with. Lots of shade and fencing. Many toys and such to play with as well. Great spot for dogs to relax.
“We just got home after being away from home for 14 days. We missed our kitties but were very confident in the care and love they were receiving! Janice and Noah are the best, time and time again.”
“Ashley took amazing care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon. We were able to have a stress-free trip knowing we could count on her to be there twice a day to feed them AND spend time with them! I will definitely be booking Ashley next time we go away, and you should too! She’s very sweet and intentional with animals. ❤️”
“Christine was not only friendly and helpful but she was understanding of our dog’s breed and gave us such a piece of mind! She went above and beyond making it easy to highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pup. Thank you Christine!”

About: Hi there! I have 15 years of pet experience, especially with dogs, but most importantly love animals. Beyond prior pet care and volunteer experience, I've spent the last 5 years fostering dogs and have had my own dogs, one stubborn pup currently (house sitting without her), giving me the opportunity to care for and work with dogs of a wide range of needs both health wise and behaviorally. I love getting to know new pups of all ages, shapes and personalities and will be sure to provide them with the best time away from their family possible, following any routine and needs they have. Although notice is great, I am happy to take last minute bookings. With my work I can easily fit my schedule to your dog's typical exercise, engagement, and feeding routine. I would care for them however you request, and however they’re used to being taken care of. I’d follow whatever care instructions you provide along with any notes shared with me during our meet and greet.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 15 years. I pet sat many times as a child and continued through adulthood including, walking, feeding, administering medicine, baths & snuggles! I also volunteered at a local animal shelter as a dog walker. Currently 3 cats and a rambunctious German Shepard/Siberian Husky 1 year old. I’m currently working full time 9 am - 6 pm but have a very flexible schedule and can move my hours around to meet your needs. I have worked with leash trained and non leash trained dogs if you have a fenced in yard. I prefer leash trained dogs for public walks with a standard leash. I love animals, their snuggles & kisses too! I have kids & animals so drool & slobber don’t bother me!
About: I have had a variety of animals throughout my life. Dogs, cats, reptiles(even an alligator at one point). I currently have 4 snakes as well. I currently work 12 hour shifts on Thursday and Friday. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday day are pretty open now. We can certainly discuss time frames that work for both of us I request that if there are any special instructions for your pet, that you have them written out for me. I will travel to you to take care of your fur child of any age. I always respect my clients homes and pets.

“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Alex with my dogs multiple times, and I can confidently say he is one of the most skilled, compassionate, and reliable people I’ve met when it comes to working with dogs—of any breed. Whether it’s a high-energy shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a timid rescue, Alex knows exactly how to approach each dog with the right balance of patience and kindness. His calm demeanor put both dogs and owners at ease. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs of all shapes and sizes, Alex is the one. I highly recommend!”

Chrissie D.
“Chrissie has taken care of my dog, George, for about half a year now. I completely trust her with him and more importantly, George loves her company. Whether I'm going out of town or George needs a quick walk, Chrissie is my go-to dog sitter. She's very responsive and is very easy to reach. I appreciate that she's always taking the time to ask questions about George's habits and health. I'd recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter.”

She sent many photos of my puppy & cat. My puppy had accident not on the pee pad and she went above and beyond to clean it up and make sure I knew about it. They had lots of fun playing fetch in my yard & the cat enjoyed her pets and snuggles. They felt comfortable with her & so did I. Can’t wait to use her again!”
