About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.
About: Hello! I'm a professional dog handler with 4+ years of experience at a dog daycare and boarding facility and a lifetime of nonprofessional pet care (Currently own one pup). I normally manage large, mixed groups of 30 or more dogs daily at my day job. This includes hands on-experience for almost all breeds and sizes, from Shih Tzus to St. Bernards! I am confident and comfortable maintaining a safe, fun environment for your furry friends to enjoy while you are away on your next vacation or outing. Both in my professional work and a lifelong passion for animals, I've learned that great pet care is never one-size-fits-all. Many pets thrive with personalized, one-on-one attention, and my approach is always tailored to the individual pet which includes experience with: - puppies - senior care - disabled or special needs - reactive or anxious pets - high energy dog breeds The core of my pet care philisophy is that the best experience comes from three things - trust, transparency, and communication. I'm always happy to set up a meet / greet so we can make sure everyone is a right fit ☺️ I am also an aspiring pet photographer, so if you want me to try to take some high quality portrais of your pets I would be willing to at no extra charge. Note: I am also open to cats or other small animals, upon inquiry. I work at my day job in the late afternoon for a few hours so I have most of the day to hang out with your pawed pals! I am close to all of the fun places a dog loves - the dog park, the beach, etc. There are horse trails nearby as well that provide scenic, contained routes that provide quality exercise for your pup. Whatever your pet's passions are, we will make a day of it (or multiple days if you want!) I provide the skills and tools to help give you the peace of mind that your pup is safe and in good hands while you're away. My background includes: - Medication administration (No IV) - Proven handling techniques for conflict prevention and de-escalation to keep dogs calm and happy. - Light first-aid (cuts, bites, hot spots, etc.) - Allergy Mediation (food, environnment) There is also a nearby vet hospital, should any emergency ever arise.
About: Trusted care, daily updates, and peace of mind while you’re not there. I’ve taken care of chameleons, hamsters, fish, birds, bunnies, cats, and dogs. Those are just my pets. I’ve also cared for water turtles I am retired and my time is very flexible to be able to help with routines and needs for care throughout the day and evening. I will not be able to keep animals in my home as I have too many but I am willing to stay at your home I would treat them as if they were my own
“What an amazing young lady !! Ali met us the day before pet sitting and was very engaging. The day of her assignment she was prompt and kept us informed during her entire stay. We recommend her very highly.”
“This is my third time using Kaleigh and she continues to be an outstanding service provider. Very professional, courteous and responsible. My cat had no problem getting to know and trust Kaleigh as she takes great care of her. My strongest recommendation.”
“Kimberly was awesome to work with! Her experience with big dogs made me very comfortable leaving our Great Danes in her hands. She was prompt with communication and a great house guest! I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of many animals including those with medical issues and up to 6 at once. I am willing to be patient and learn complicated instructions if needed. I am currently in school and am there all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. My schedule may switch around a bit but I’m flexible pretty much any other day. I make sure to treat animals even better than I do myself and would protect them and keep them happy and healthy. I love animals, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
“At the beginning of my trip last week, the pet sitter I arranged for cancelled at the last minute due to illness. I contacted Julie and she was at my home within 90 minutes for a Meet & Greet. My dogs loved her. Even though my trip started late, Julie was there in the afternoon sending pictures of my dogs to me. I'm very happy with Julie and would recommend her. I have all ready arranged to use Julie again for my next trip.”
“Alexis was absolutely amazing! She took care of my senior dog, Klaus, for ten days while I was out visiting family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was so thoughtful and attentive to his needs, making sure he was comfortable and cared for every step of the way. I loved receiving daily pictures and videos. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. On top of that, Alexis left my house spotless, which was such a wonderful surprise to come home to. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional sitter. Klaus and I are so grateful and will be utilizing her moving forward!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I’ve lived with animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I own cats, and many of my friends have dogs and cats that I’ve helped take care of, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own pets every day, which includes feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. I plan my schedule around pet care, so I’m used to being consistent, on time, and attentive. Because of this, it’s easy for me to fit pet sitting, walking, and check-ins into my routine and give each pet the time and care they need. I care for pets by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home or a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or cleanup care, and lots of attention. I respect the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and house rules. I always keep the environment clean and make sure pets are supervised and never left feeling stressed or ignored.
“Natalie get 10 stars! What a fantastic sitter for our dog, Rip. Natalie was on time to the house and she followed all of our instructions for our dogs care. Natalie was so loving and allowed him to love her and bond with her. She put play dates together to give our dog more interaction with other pups his age and that was excellent. She sent us daily progress reports with pictures of our dog and that kept us close and informed. She stayed at our house and she left it cleaner than she found it. I’ve already recommended her to neighbors because great sitters are hard to find! 😊”
“Kenisha was a great caregiver for our pup and home! We had easy communication and she has such a lovely energy about her. We expect to have her back once we put some travel on the calendar!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a baby. I have never not had a dog in my life. As a child we started out with smaller dogs. Over the years our dogs just grew and grew in size. My first dog as a child was a Lhasa Apso then we moved up to Saint Bernard and never looked back. Currently we have a St Bernard and two basset hounds. I have pet sat many family animals over the years. I have been relied upon to walk feed and bath friends animals. I worked in a veterinary clinic for the past 7 years. I am currently a stay at home mom & wife, so taking care of your pets will fit easily into the daily schedule. I can work walks and check ins in through my daily schedule. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your pets. If your pet has special needs just let me know. If they have a special schedule just let me know so I can attempt to keep their routine as normal as possible even while you are away.
“Liz is awesome. Super responsive and clearly loves all dogs. She had just come off an extended stay with another client but that didn’t stop her from making Jack her #1 priority. She ensured she arrived at our house on the first day soon after we left, she was clearly home with him a lot and she double-checked what time we expected to be home on the last day before leaving. The house was super tidy when we got home and Jack, while happy to see us, clearly had a great few days with Liz. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough (except during times we want her to stay with ours again 😁).”
“This was my first time using Kathleen and I can’t say enough about her! She took excellent care of our Shih Tzu Bogey! The house was very clean! I highly recommend Kathleen and will continue to use her whenever we go away!”
“Sierra did such a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of our dog and cat. Our dog is deaf and can be very timid around new people- Sierra was very patient and caring with her and provided us with pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“We were elated with their enthusiasm and attention to detail with our dog Rufus. He fell in love with their every instantly! Great communicators. Reliable. Timely. Can’t wait to book again.”
“Sarah is always wonderful with my little girl. She is great about sending pictures, she follows the care instructions, and she is very respectful of the house. I always come home to a well cared for pup! Sarah is my go-to sitter!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

This is the second time Alexis has stayed at my home, and this time she sat both my resident Aussie, Max, and a foster dog, Marley. This was a big experiment since it was the first time Marley had stayed with a sitter. Alexis was incredible. She dealt with so much with the stressed and anxious foster dog while I was gone (potty accidents, giving medicine, cleaning up a broken glass he pulled off the counter, etc.). Marley is a bit of an escape artist, and she made sure he was safe the whole time and couldn’t sneak out. She also kept in regular communication with me which was essential for this stay. I’m so grateful for her care and effort while I was on my weeklong vacation! Thank you so much, Alexis! :)
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper. Danielle kept in contact with me, sent pictures and answered my texts in quick time. Cooper was very happy. This was a 5 night stay in my home and the house was in perfect shape when we arrived. I would highly recommend her and will ask her again. It was a pleasure to know we could get away and not have to worry. Thank you, Danielle!
Julie was just amazing. Great communication about my dogs while I was away on my trip, she took lots of photos and videos of my puppies. She also went above and beyond...she picked up all the dog poop in the yard, she bought my dogs had a bunch of new toys and chew bones, she washed their dog bowls, she even toped off their water bowls before she left. Would definitely book her again.
Zoe did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Ash! She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. I really appreciated how many thoughtful questions she asked to get to know Ash better. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ash was in such capable and attentive hands. Highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Sarah was amazing! She watched our dog and took care of our house for several days. I booked her for a walk first so I could meet her and go over things with the house. I knew it was a great fit the moment she arrived. Our little dog is usually not happy with strangers, but she ran right up to Sarah and wanted to be petted and was super excited. I was also really impressed that Sarah brought a notebook and asked great questions and took notes. While we were away she gave lots of updates and sent the cutest photos each day. Our dog had a great time and I’m looking forward to booking Sarah again.
