“Kim was AMAZING! She was so easy to communicate with and handled everything with ease. She clearly has a deep love for animals and treated my baby as her own while I was away. I would 100% recommend her for any pet services you’d need-I promise she’ll exceed your expectations!”
“Kylie was great with both of my dogs who need to be kept separated, and I was able to trust her with that while I was out for a few hours. We will definitely be using her services again and my dogs will be very happy to see her again!🐾”
“Haley was awesome! She was very attentive in her care for our cat & dog while we were away. She also was able to accommodate a last minute additional visit which was so great!! She closely monitored the well-being of our dog during 4th of July fireworks and made sure to give thorough reviews/plenty of photos. Communication was amazing! Would definitely recommend Haley”
“An absolutely wonderful pet sitter who gave detailed notes for the daily check-ins, as well as several photos each day. Communication was great and Amanda took excellent care of my two boys ❤️”
“Barbara has been great with my two cats every time I’ve booked her. Always makes it easier to leave them when I know someone who truly cares about them will be watching them!”
About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.
About: Experienced Dog Owner & Sitter – Reliable, Active, and Caring Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a terrier mix and a black lab, and as an adult, I've cared for a German Shorthaired Pointer and now my current companion, Reggie—a 1.5-year-old Basenji. Reggie is friendly, well-socialized, and loves being around other dogs. I’m especially experienced with puppies and enjoy the energy and patience they require. Reggie and I stick to a consistent daily routine that includes at least a mile of leash walking each day—usually split into multiple walks, with outings early in the morning (as early as 5–8 AM), mid-morning, an afternoon potty break, and a longer walk in the evening. Our home is dog-friendly, safe, and has a fenced-in yard perfect for supervised play. We welcome only one guest dog at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm environment. I house- and dog-sitting in as well as , I currently offer drop-in visits. At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’m 35, responsible, and passionate about dogs—I treat every pup like family. Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer full-time availability for pet care and am happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for: Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.
“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for about five years. My girl loves hiking and long walks. I love taking pups on long walks to tire them out!! I am currently going to school with a pretty open schedule. Looking for odd jobs to fill in the gaps and make a little bit on the side. I have a friendly fixed female who is crate trained. I also have a fenced in yard but prefer walks around the block with pups.
“We had Lynne watch our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great! She was reliable and took great care of our babies. Our shy cat warmed up to her and she even got him to play! We will definitely be using Lynne again. I would recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Kristie was wonderful! First timer here and was nervous about leaving my cars with strangers. But immediately on our meet and greet I could tell that Kristie was the right balance of professional and animal lover. I received pictures at each visit and notifications of coming and going. Which made our weekend away our focus. Thank you Kristie!”
About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!
“I could not be happier that I found Colleen to look after my cat, Hank! For the last 5 months Colleen has been stopping by during the week for short visits as I work long hours, and she has also looked after and fed Hank when I’ve gone away for the weekend. From the start Colleen has been incredibly professional, communicative, and understanding if I’ve needed to adjust dates or times. She gives great updates, takes incredible pictures and I could tell that Hank was thrilled whenever she came by. If I could give Colleen 20 starts I would. I could not recommend her more highly. Thank you again, Colleen, for all your help! It was comforting knowing Hank was well taken care of while I was away.”
About: Over 20 years of experience with pets- I trained my very first dog at only 10 years old! I grew up with a Great Pyrenees and am experienced with large / xl breeds. I absolutely love dogs and animals in general. I have two precious dogs of my own currently who I love more than anything. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog! I work remotely full time as a software engineer! Your pets are welcome to hang out with us for the day when you’re busy. Weekends I can provide even more active care since I have the days off. I have a fenced in yard but depending on your pets needs I can take them out on leash still. I let the dogs out to play frequently, every 2-4 hours.
About: I have 2 cats of my own but have lots of experience with dogs as well. I’m patient and read a room very well. One of my cats is on a special diet and needs to take medication regularly, so I am familiar with difficult cases. I have dog training experience. Love to take long or short walks on trails or in local neighborhoods. I currently am juggling a few jobs but they are seasonal. So, I am looking to fill in on the off days since my hours are being cut at the nursery! I am not available until after 4:30pm most days, except Tuesday I am available after 11:30am. Let me know what you need and I can tell you if I am available to help! When visiting your home, I am a very respectful and private individual. The more instructions you want to give, the better. I prefer to meet you and your pet(s) first to see if it’s a good fit for us all! I have no problem sending an abundance of pictures when taking care of your dog or cat if requested. *I am currently not accepting clients who are looking to board their pets and am not able to house-sit over night.*

Molly K.
“Molly is a dog owner herself who cares diligently for her own dog, Reggie. Her pure Basenji is a happy and well taken care of dog. She is ALWAYS walking him. She knows by studying the particular breed of what to expect behavior-wise. Molly is a responsible and just person when it comes to work. If she is entrusted with someone else's dog, she will care and protect that dog from all dangers as if it were her own dog. You will like Molly :)”

Leolani K.
“Leolani is a caring responsible young woman with a kind heart. She absolutely loves all animals and is incredibly thoughtful and attentive to the needs of others and animals. She has grown up around all different types of animals. Her home was never without a canine companion or two as well as a few cats. She has experience taking care of many types of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, bunnies & goats. I would trust her to take care of all of my pets in a heartbeat. I have a dog that is a rescue who was very timid when he first arrived in my home. Leolani formed a special relationship with my pup and he does not cower in fear as he has with so many others. Leolani would be a trustworthy caretaker for any animal.”
