“Took care of my babies just like I asked. Received plenty of photos. One of my dogs is more difficult due to her medication schedule and her personality but Rachel did an amazing job with her. Will book again in the future.”

“I am so glad we had audry watch our two cats. She took such good care of them, and made sure to send a lot of pictures and updates. My cats loved her, even my skittish girl. She was kind enough to bring in my mail and water my plants too. Thanks Audry!”


“April has been amazing, this is my second time booking with her. The first time she visited my home to ensure she knew where everything was and to meet my very shy kitty Pepper. April really cares for your pet, making sure they get play, treats and pets. My kitty Pepper has really warmed up to her. I will certainly be booking in the future.”


About: Hello, I’m a stay at home mom and cat mom! Throughout my life, I’ve had dogs that I’ve adored and loved. I currently walk and pet sit and would love to build more clientele and gain more knowledge. I’m open to any weekdays after 4pm and any time on weekends. I’m also open to additional tasks you may need done and hoping that I can help people find genuine, loving care for their fur babies! As a mom who stays home with her baby, I care for him and take care of the house during the day and once my husband arrives home, I leave to care for my clients pets, so I have much time to give to your pets! While I walk any dog, I make sure to be well aware of my surroundings so that they do not eat anything they may find, run into another dog (especially if they do not do well with others), stay comfortable in the temperature it may be when walking and that they are overall enjoying their walk. When pet sitting dogs or cats, I love to make sure they’re getting the affection and care that they deserve, so that they’re not feeling alone. I am able to crate them if needed and am open to any request you may need.

Your pet's needs are provided at a flat rate. Cost for bathing and sitter pick-up/drop-off are listed under additional services. We welcome the responsibility of adapting to your furry loved ones. We are available Sunday through Saturday, 6AM until 11PM, or overnight. We have experience with multiple families and different breeds. We have 2 children in the home who love to love on your pets. Connect with us to find a great caregiver for your furry family. My partner, Allen, and I work together to care for your pup. They can be crated or free roam when we are not at home. We will take walks as often as needed, let us know! We have a fenced backyard with a covered patio for your furry friend to play in. We have space for a crate/bed or other safe space. We will provide updates and pictures throughout the visit. If you want more than I'm sending or a video, just ask! Your pup can roam the house and explore the fenced-in yard as they please. We mark vacation days off the calendar, but we may be flexible so don't hesitate to ask! We are also flexible with meet-ups. We provide daily, overnight, and extended care. We will take outside breaks every 4 to 8 hours. If your pup likes to play, we have a fenced in backyard. We welcome you to bring your pups favorite toys. We will take time to discuss their preferences when we meet. We will follow your feeding schedule and fresh water will be provided throughout the day. We have an XL crate and we ask that comfort items be brought along.

About: I have been taking care of dogs almost my whole life. I also have experienced with cats too. During my childhood I had all kinds of pets. I’m available in the weekends and evenings during the week. But I can make some time early in the morning as well if needed it. I can feed and go on long fun walks with your fur baby. I’ll make sure your pet feels in company and keep your home clean.

“Emily did a fantastic job looking after our cat and keeping an eye on the house while we were gone. She was very dependable, and her keeping us updated on how things were going - with pictures!! - was a huge comfort while we were away. I highly recommend her and will certainly contact her again when we go out of town again.”


“Ashley was great with my four kitties. She even managed to get one of the shy ones to join in the fun. She took great care and spent a lot of time playing with my two high energy cats (which spared my furniture). Would definitely book again.”


“Mary did drop in visits to care for my 2 cats while I was away. One of my cats is very skittish, and I ended up getting a photo of her being out—which surprised me because she ran way for the meet and greet. Mary is very kind and I’m pleased with her service.”



“We’ve used Brittany for multiple longer trips to care for our 3 kitties. They love her and trust her! She makes sure they get plenty of attention and keeps them well fed and water clean and filled. She sends lots of pictures which makes it easier to be away! Highly recommend for your sitting needs!”


About: I worked at an animal shelter for a period of time, during which I also served at the Vice President for a year; I love animals and advocating and caring for them is a core value I hold close to my heart. I’ve dealt with animals in all sorts of situations and conditions, and believe that those experiences have given me a skillset to take in the hat ever your fur baby might throw at me! I am self-employed and work fully remotely, so I can be flexible to meet you and your pets needs. Working from home means I can also pick up more last minute requests when needed. My fur babies are my world, and I will treat yours with that same mindset. Having a new face in the home can be tough, but I am willing to take the time to build trust with your fur babies and makes them feel safe and at ease when their routine deviates.

“Laura was absolutely awesome for the two weeks she did drop in visits. My dog Billie loved her and always seems very content and happy after her walks. I will definitely be booking with her in the future and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good reliable dog watcher.”


About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that every pet feels loved and secure while their owners are away. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different needs and behaviors. As a pet owner myself, I genuinely love pets and I am commitment to their well-being. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where each dog feels comfortable and happy. My experience includes not only regular walks and playtime but also special skills such as: Training Basics: I have successfully taught puppies basic commands and good manners, helping them become well-behaved companions. Senior Care: I am attentive to the needs of older dogs, offering gentle walks and medication administration if required, ensuring they receive the care they need. Flexible Scheduling: I understand the unpredictability of pet care needs, so I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate last-minute requests. With my extensive experience and caring approach, I guarantee that your furry family member will receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve while you’re away! My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to ensure your furry friends receive the attention and exercise they need. I start each day with morning walks, giving dogs a refreshing start. Throughout the day, I accommodate various walking schedules, ensuring every dog has time to explore, play, and socialize. I recommend morning and evening walks during hot summer days, as pups' paws can be sensitive. I'm also open to backyard playtime or finding cool spots for their comfort. With my availability, I can easily adjust to last-minute requests, whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure. Your dog will receive personalized care, making them feel loved and happy while you're away! I prioritize safety and comfort for pets in clients' homes. I create a secure environment by removing hazards and ensuring proper supervision during playtime. I follow each pet's routine and preferences, providing a familiar atmosphere. Regular check-ins and lots of love ensure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away!

About: I grew up in a home with two medium-sized dogs, Levi and Lizzy, who are just now starting to enter their senior years! I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes in both an overnight and check-in environment. I am comfortable administering medicine orally to animals and have no problem cleaning up accidents. I am currently a student in my last semester of undergrad and will begin school for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in the summer! Mondays are my busiest days with classes, but I am available after 1 pm every day after that! I do not currently have any other job commitments, so I am available on the weekends as well. Though I have experience with overnight visits, I am most comfortable with drop-ins at your home. I can drop in for feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, changing litter boxes, and playtime! I can assure you that I will respect your home and your pets while ensuring that everyone's needs are met.

About: Hi! I am here simply because I love dogs, and I wanted to earn some money for my school expenses. My first experience with dogs was when I first came back to the US, and my family had a lovely chihuahua named Olga. She was sweet, kind, patient and calm, she was already perfect, so I never really got any experience with handling, or dealing with naughty dogs. There was another do, Ginger, and she’s total goofball, our source of laughter. The years living with them made me realize how much I loved dogs, and how much I needed them in my life. A few years after I got my first puppy, a GSD (DDR) named Leona, I got her when she was 8 weeks old, and we lived together until she was 2. Although she was a handful for a first time dog owner, I loved her wholeheartedly and trained her to do many tricks, and she has become more mature and calm through the training. Unfortunately, we had to send her to a new home due to we were moving, and the new house didn’t allow pets. I really missed the days where I could just go to a dog and hug them, cuddle with them, and leave all my worries and sadness behind. I love all kinds of dogs. Everytime I see a dog on the street, I get excited and can’t help but smile. I’ve always wanted to be a dog sitter, ever since I could remember, but I never took the act. Now that I’m homeschooled, I have plenty of time on my schedule. Please consider me when you are in need for help taking care of your dog, and I will do my best to serve you!

About: With 15 years of experience, a background in dog shows, and extensive overnight care for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring expert, hands-on knowledge and a lifelong passion for animal care—making me the best choice for your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve—whether it's playtime, visits, baths, or just lots of love! I offer personalized pet care both in my home and yours. Whether your pet stays with me for a cozy, loving environment or I come to you for visits, playtime, walks, feedings, and baths, I ensure they receive the best care, comfort, and attention.

Renee A.
“I can’t say enough good things Renee! Taking care of our three big dogs and two cats is a lot of work, but she handled them with a lot of care and genuine love. Our dogs can be a handful—full of energy and each with their own quirks—but they were completely at ease and well-behaved under her care. The cats, who are usually more aloof, also warmed up quickly! She sent daily updates and photos that truly gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a house that looked just as we left it—maybe even tidier! It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur family, but now we can’t imagine having anyone else. If you’re looking for someone responsible, loving, and truly amazing with animals, Renees the way to go! We are beyond grateful and will continue to use her!”
