“Alexis was amazing. I was so nervous about going out of town but she made me feel so much better with the communication and attentiveness she gave to my dog. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Cheyenne is such a life saver. I go home every other weekend, but have to leave my two cats. She plays with them and sticks to their feeding schedule. I always come back to two happy cats! Would recommend and book her again!”

About: I treat every pet like family and understand that no two animals are the same. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. I’m trained in administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m patient, consistent, and attentive to behavior cues. I’ve also raised my own pets and cared for high-energy breeds that need extra playtime and structure. Whether your dog needs gentle care or active engagement, I tailor each visit to their comfort level and routine. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. I love being active and outdoors, so daily walks and check-ins are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable—plus lots of snuggles and attention throughout the day. I stick closely to their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, and bedtime so they feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep things tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Angela is super sweet and responsive. She brought her kids along to care for my dog so I know he got all the love and attention during their drop ins. Definitely will work with her again!”
“So incredibly thankful for the kindness and care given to a cat that doesn’t like anyone. You must have great energy that she even came out to say hello! And the kindness towards the strays that I feed. So grateful. 💕”
About: Hi! I would be a great option for you to pick me as a sitter! I have owned dogs my entire life so I am familiar with all types. I used to own 2 small Lhasa Apsos which passed away when I was 10. A few months later we adopted a gorgeous German Shepard lab mix. He was treated with anxiety medicine so I can help if your dog needs extra treatment. We loved him so dearly and has recently passed. We got my dog, a labrador retriever as a puppy when our large dog Pepper was 5 years old. So Right now I have a 1 lab that I love with all my heart and I will treat your dogs the same. I have also had experience the past 5 years with watching my neighbors dogs every summer as well. I can take them on walks, play with them, and even spend the night if needed! I hope you consider me as a sitter!! I'd love to help out!
About: I love all animals, no matter how big or small and I would love to provide care for your baby and treat them as my own. I work a 9-5 but I can stop by on lunch breaks for walks or potty breaks! I am available most weekends and anytime after I get off work! I provide wonderful care for your babies and will treat them as my own! I have had pets since I was a child and have plenty of experience dealing with all ages and breads.
“Shaula was very kind and communicative and did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone. She even got them some new tennis balls! We will definitely be contacting Shaula for our future pet sitting needs!”
About: Spring of 2003 began my involvement with pet rescue and care. I've assisted in the births of a number of litters and potty trained dogs. We have 2 cats, a miniature pinscher pup. Laid back home. I love to jog so high energy dogs welcome as well. We do smoke marijuana in the home. Update: I have recently relocated back to Quincy to be closer to family for personal reasons and going back to work. Originally: I am taking time off from working to start training our pup as a service dog after potty training is complete and to begin online college classes in January. We have a large Victorian home and large unfenced yard. We love high energy animals, especially those who like rabbits. We have teenagers & a 9 year old who LOVE all animals. For house sitting fur babies, I am a laid back yet active care giver. I do NOT physically discipline them so don't ask me to do so. Strong vocal tone & consistency or water spray bottles are it.
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for over 15 years. Since childhood, I have been involved in breeding, showing, and training Border Collies across multiple disciplines. I understand that our pets are our family members, and each one has individual needs. My schedule is pretty flexible. I can take care of your pets on their schedule, so as not to disrupt their regular routine. I have morning, daytime, and evening hours available. I am also available to care for pets in my own home if that is a better option for you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard with 3 of my own dogs who love to have visitors.
“Haley was great. Our cat got sick while we were on vacation and she was so helpful. She got him to the vet and kept in constant contact. I will only trust HER for future visits. You (and your pet) will love her!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for my entire life and I honestly wouldn’t have had it any other way. I am very flexible when it come to all of the furry creatures of all shapes and sizes. I have dog sat for both family members and other family’s. I have had about 8 years of dog sitting. I am very reliable, trustworthy and determined. I would prefer if the dog were under 150 pounds, since I am a smaller person and not very muscular, but with that being said, I do accept all of the lovable pets. I do have another job as a CNA at blessing hospital, so I will need days and times you would like for me to be with your lovable pets. I hope to meet them soon 🙂! I do have l my weekly routine because I have two little fur babies on my own that I have to take care of every day and night. I have a home of my own that has a fenced in backyard so I need to watch your little furry baby from my house.
