About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all big to small. I’m a dog owner myself, I have a 14-year-old Boston Terrier and a 2-year-old Golden Retriever. So I’m very used to both senior dogs and high energy pups. I really understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. I’m very consistent, always show up, and treat every pet like my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, fresh food/water, or some playtime and attention, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone local, trustworthy, and consistent, I’d love to help! I’m available for late morning visits and afternoon drop-ins during the week, with more limited availability on weekends. I focus on a small number of consistent clients to provide reliable care. I work part-time at a school so once summer hits, I will have more hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for during every visit.
“Claudia was great with my pup. She is punctual, great with communication and an awesome dog sitter. My pup was very excited to have her stop by. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Jordan took great care of Mona while I was away for several days. Mona can be sensitive to changes in routine, and Jordan was calm, patient, and very attentive in helping her feel comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure Mona’s routine stayed consistent, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure Mona was well cared for and comfortable. Over the course of the visits, Mona became more relaxed and even playful, which really speaks to Jordan’s approach and attentiveness. Jordan is responsible, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she works with. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”

“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”


“Had a great experience with Courtney for our first time using for our cat. Courtney was prompt, professional and asked all the right questions. Will definitely use her again if she is available.”

“Ava helped us out with a last minute drop in on Labor Day! She was prompt, polite, sent lots of photos, and made sure our dog was fully taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable.”

“Samantha was great! We had our sitter back out at the last second and she was able to help out! She got back to us very quickly and is a great communicator. One of our cats is very shy and we were worried about him not eating with a new person in the house but he actually felt comfortable and came out to eat with her there! Will definitely be using her again :)”
“As always, Emma and Trent are the best. We’ve been lucky that they’ve been available when we needed someone to care for our girls while we needed to be away for several hours. We added another pup this time and Emma was welcoming to her as well. Dowdy, my granddaughters Chesapeake Bay Retriever can be a little excitable so we had a short meet and greet before we left for the evening. The meet and greet went exceptionally well so we felt very comfortable leaving all three of our furry girls with Emma and Trent. We highly recommend Emma and Trent to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friends. Our girls live them as well!”


“Jenna was fantastic! She was able to watch my pup last minute and followed all instructions clearly and did a great job. Thank you again!! :)”

“Kimberly is great with Kitana! Kitana loves her & they have lots of fun playing together. I feel comfortable with her & know that she’s in good hands. Will be keeping Kimberly as our long-term sitter!”

“We needed a dog sitter for our two golden retrievers while our daughter was getting married. We chose Jess. Jess listened to all our requirements and assured us that Gracie and Remy would be cared for, played with and would be exhausted that day. She was right. We loved the pictures she sent us of them having a good time. In fact, although I came home early from the wedding, Jess pulled in right after me and the dogs went to her. We will definitely use Jess next time.”

“Molly is prompt, kind and a true cat lover. She was sensitive to my needs as well as Priscilla’s. This was important to me because it was my first time having a cat sitter. She is flexible and willing to accommodate small changes in the schedule. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
