“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Lexi was fantastic. I usually worry about my pups while I'm away. This time I was actually able to relax. She was very attentive and my pups love her. She sent pictures, which was very calming to me being away. I would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I’ve had the joy of providing around-the-clock love and attention to furry friends in their own space. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from four different families, each with their own unique personalities and routines. Growing up with animals, I’ve learned how to read their needs and earn their trust. I’m here to be their new best friend - and yes, you’ll get plenty of adorable photo updates along the way. I work from home 3 days of the week, but have flexibility to work fully remote if needed for your pet! This means that they can have someone with them every moment of the day, if that is a must. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow all routines closely. This includes feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or if they like to watch a specific show while napping on the couch. If I am in your home, I will keep things tidy, respect your personal privacy, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for. In my homes I create a cozy, pet-friendly space. I tailor to their personality - whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhat in between!

“Kat is Amazing. This was her first visit with our dog Fergus and je had a great time. She arrived at our agreed time and took wonderful care of our boy. We will definitely be using Kat again to care for our boy.”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes dog walking, in-home pet sitting, administering medications, feeding routines, and providing comfort and companionship while owners are away. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same affection and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to create a stress-free and nurturing environment that helps your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently working 3.5 days per week and looking to establish myself in pet sitting/care. I can be available in the evenings, Thursday anytime, Friday afternoons and weekends. I am an active volunteer with 2 rescues currently, and just love pursuing my life's dream and goal of providing loving, attentive care to all pets. My home is pet-proofed with separate areas as needed, fully fenced, air conditioning. It is 2-story, so if need be I can carry up to 30lbs. Doors all properly latch, no doggie doors.

“Cindy was so amazing ! Never used a service before and was so amazed at how she constantly updated me on how Puppers was doing including sending me pics. He was well cared for and would absolutely request her again!!”


“Keira was amazing with my beagle!! He can take some time to warm to new people, but he loved Keira from the start. Keira was also able to accommodate my last minute requests for drop-in visits since I injured my ankle, which I really appreciated it. But best of all, my dog always had a great walk with her, and a play session after. He was so doggone happy and ready for a long nap!!”


About: I have a wide variety of pet walking and sitting experience. From my years taking care of pets, I have learned many important skills. Such as how to administer oral medication’s and interact with high energy dogs. I have also become very good at gaining cats trust and allowing them to tell me what they need from me. Ensuring that the pets I’m looking after feel safe and reassured in my presence until their family comes home is my biggest priority, even if it means spending a little extra time with them. I’m currently taking online classes over the summer which will restrict my night walking services, but my daytime hours are usually free. I am also available most weekends and mornings. Unfortunately I am not allowed to keep pets in my home. That being said I take great pride in making sure that I leave my client’s home cleaner than when I arrived. This can range from cleaning up, spilled water from water dishes, cleaning up any curbs that a pet might have left on the floor, or cleaning up any accidents that a pet might’ve accidentally had.

About: Our dog children deserve the best of my experience as a trainer, caregiver and animal lovers will give you safety, I care for my dog angels like mine because they are my happiness therapy. I have plenty of time to play and exercise for your best friend and free him from the strees of confinement on Sundays, fully available or during the week, your comfort is my priority. I have a fenced garden and a beautiful park next to my house and I can take care of it in your house for your safety and confidence. I know many games that puppy and senior dogs like.

“Colleen was great with my 3 peibies She sent cards with a little report each time she did a drop in visit. I enjoyed her pics and notes, it made me feel better, cuz I had never left them before. I will ask Colleen when I need a sitter for my peibies.”


About: Hello! I love spending time with animals and have been helping my family take care of our dogs, cats, and several small animals including: rats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, a tortoise, fish, and even birds for 10+ years! I have lots of experience raising husky puppies from birth and helping foster cats and kittens. I love long hikes with our huskies and have even gone through therapy dog training. I know just how essential comforting pet care is and am eager to share it with your pets! I am currently a college student who is working part-time for the summer (going back August 14th), but I would love to be able to take care of your pet(s) outside of this! My availability ranges, but afternoons and evenings work best for me. Please don't be afraid to reach out! I always make sure that my family pets are getting the attention and care they deserve and would love to apply this to your pets. If you leave any notes or details about caring for your pets, know that I will take the time to read it thoroughly and follow your directions. I want to make sure that your pet feels comfortable and safe around me.

“Bridget did an absolutely stellar job taking care of our cats while we were away. Check-ins were punctual. I can see that she truely loves animals. The degree to which she cleaned the litter boxes is impressive. She took the time to pet them and let them know that they are important. She had no problems following our request and responded promptly when we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely hire her again when the need arises.”


About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

“Amber is so wonderful with our Chesapeake bay retriever who can be stubborn at times but he absolutely loves her. She always sends a picture and an update of how he did on the check in. She has been so helpful and puts our mind at ease that we know he’s being taken care of so well 😊”


“Daniel was awesome with our dog! He did a drop in to check on our dog. He was on time and took our dog for a nice walk. He logged that our dog went to the bathroom and sent us pictures! He stayed for the whole time that we asked and was very professional. Highly recommend!”
