About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)
“Jessica is very friendly and took good care of our girl. She took plenty of pictures and contacted us after her stop to give us an update. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I've fostered a variety of dogs and puppies of different ages for many years. I have also dog sat for friends before and am reliable. I’ve had dogs all my life, so know how to take care of them in every stage of their life. I'm currently working part time, so I will be available to play with your pets and fulfill their needs. I always make sure my dogs are well taken care of and exercised. I always go outside with the animals so they won't run away and so I can keep an eye on them. I also walk dogs to get some exercise and play with them. I make sure to give them a lot of attention.
About: I've been lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs. One was a sweet 11-year-old deaf golden retriever that I adopted, and my first dog was a German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy until her sad passing. So, I definitely have plenty of puppy experience. For over a year now, I've been a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, working with several wonderful clients and their furry friends. I always make sure to treat the pets in my care just like my own. I pet sit and dog walk full-time. Potty breaks are no more then 2 hours apart. I am not gone often outside of the home. I love taking the dogs outside to play every couple of hours. I feed them twice daily with half portions to help them eat more slowly, unless the owner has different instructions. My home is always clean, and I use couch covers so my pets can feel free to roam and get comfy on the couch. I enjoy walking dogs and can easily handle up to three at a time—it's excellent exercise for me and the pups. Plus, I have a medium-sized, fenced yard where we can play fetch and have potty time. That way, the dogs get plenty of exercise and are nice and tired when it’s time to go home. I don’t do house sitting, but during check-ins, I always leave everything tidy and take care of all the litter, food, and water.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even administered medications when needed. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 6pm. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning or evening walks as needed. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends, so your pup will always have company. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and can follow any specific routines or safety instructions you provide. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always come first in my care.
About: I offer pet photography! I am a photographer and would love to get your dog professional photos while I am pet sitting. I’ve had animals my entire childhood. We have never been without a dog in our home. I am experienced in dog walking, over night stays, check ins, and belly rubs! I am currently not working so I will have all the time to care for your dogs any day! Weekdays or weekends I will be there for your pup! I will follow any directions you give me based on your dogs needs. I am very rule oriented so anything you have to do for your pup will be done by me!

“I've known Ava for 10 years and have witnessed her passion for animals. She has fostered numerous dogs throughout her life, which has given her the experience to care for a variety of dog types. Ava is a very caring and responsible person; I know she will provide your pet with the best care!”
Logan S.
“Logan is an extremely respectful person when it comes to your wishes for your pets. My wife and I had him watch our 4 year old dog when our daughter was being born. Needless to say he followed everything we asked of him and even thought of things we hadn't. He's a very responsible person and commits to anything he says he will. In the moment of time where our minds were in the clouds and focusing on our family, he stepped up and helped us make sure our family pet didn't go without love and care. I would trust this man with my child, he has shown above and beyond the ability to not only care for an animal but to love an animal like his own. 10/10 I recommend his services anytime. Communication is 5 ⭐ out of 5. Services, again another 5/5. He is someone I would have no problem watching my pets. To my knowledge he has always had a pet of his own, even adopting some, so naturally he's a great animal caregiver.”

“known Jay M. for years, and he’s always been the goto person for anything pet related. He has a natural connection with animals dogs instantly feel comfortable around him. Jay is extremely reliable, responsible, and treats every pet like his own. Whether it’s walking, boarding, or just keeping your dog company, he’s patient, playful, and always attentive. I’ve personally seen him care for multiple dogs at once, including his own sweet French Bulldog, and he always makes safety and fun the top priority. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Jay looking after their furry friend”
Madelyn N.
“Maddy has been one of the most passionate and caring pet sitters we have ever used. She understands that pets ARE family and treats them as such. We have two dogs, three cats, and used to have a bunny. She has followed every instruction left for her and is extremely conscientious, not only with our pets but with our home as well. We rely on her for house sitting, but also for drop-in and walks while we are working or traveling. She is a great communicator and sends pics and stories. She also brings to our immediate attention any issues. Both dogs require meds and she routinely administers the medications. I love, but hate to travel without our pets, and Maddy makes it so I can enjoy my time away and not have to worry so much about the family members I am leaving behind.”

Theresa goes above and beyond to ensure that my dog is comfortable and happy. She is attentive to her needs and always makes sure my dog gets her medication on time. I appreciate her gentle approach and how she treats my dog as if she were her own. If you're looking for someone who is not only reliable but also genuinely loves and understands dogs, Theresa is the perfect choice. I'm grateful to have found her!”
