Jocelyn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our cats Cacio and Pepe. She covered all their basic needs and favorite things on each visit. She even cleaned up when one of our cats got sick. Loved receiving photos each time she finished a check in! Would definitely book again in a heartbeat.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and horses for as long as I remember. I’ve always helped to feed, take out, and take on walks for our own family pets. I also spent a lot of time volunteering at Wags and Walks in 2024 where I went through a training process and then took care of and walked the dogs there. I’m currently home from school, possibly going to be having another job. Overall my schedule is typically free most of the time. I love animals and right now this is a priority of mine to care for dogs and pet sit. I have a completely fenced in yard at my house. I also have 3 family dogs at home who are extremely loved and quite friendly as well. They love to spend time sleeping, walking and sometimes get excited and like to play. They really enjoy meeting new dogs so if you need an overnight they would be happy to keep you’re dog company.

About: I’ve dealt with pets of all kinds. Big, small, medium, and ones that aren’t potty trained. However, I love all animals! You’re pet will be my top priority, and they will be in good hands for the duration of time that I am needed! As a college freshman on summer break, I have plenty of time on my hands to tend to your pet. Even after finding a job, your pet will be my priority! I own a mini-dachshund who you will find either bubbling with energy, or basking in the sunshine in the back yard. His activity level is completely dependent on our behavior! Thanks to his loving personality, he is always by our side and being loved. He has free access to water whenever he needs it and is fed twice per day. Rocky would never run away, as his he too emotionally attached and can’t stand to be alone for even five minutes!

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, I've had a dog for 11 years, so I understand firsthand what it means to care for a pet like family. I have hands-on experience with dog sitting and walking, and I'm comfortable with daily routines, exercise needs, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in any environment. Your dog will always be in caring, attentive hands! I work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's weekday walks or weekend sitting, I'm available, your pet always comes first. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping things consistent and stress-free for your dog. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, and any house rules, so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own space. I treat every client's home with respect, ensure doors and gates are always secure, and provide updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and safe.

About: I've taken care and spent time with many breeds dogs, and have experience with drop-in visits, pet sitting, pet boarding, and dog walking. I have also trained my dog to follow simple commands such as "sit", "lay down", "shake", and "turn around" and have taught my dog and both my cats to come when they are called. I am back from college for the summer and have a very open schedule, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets! I have a big yard and live in a very walkable area. I have two cats and a little dog that all get along well with other animals.

A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.

About: I have had dogs all my life. As well as dog sitter for friends and family. On top of basic care such as feeding and walking I can also bathe and groom them. I am home for the summer so I have an open schedule to care for your dog at anytime you need. Including weekends and holidays. In my home I have a friendly dog who loves to make friends. I take dogs on long walks through the hiking trail next to my home.

Sam is a conscientious, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter who took great care of my cat. Sam always asked thoughtful questions and double-checked with me if something was unclear. He made sure to play with my cat and give him plenty of attention. When our plans changed, Sam was helpful and willing to change his schedule. He even remembered important things I forgot, like returning our house key to us! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

About: I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs and animals. My experience includes employment with a veterinarian, employment at a kennel, and a lifetime of dog ownership. We custom built our home to be a perfect paradise for a dog's life. We have a beautiful fenced in private backyard that offers a grass area, deck area, and a woods area for those adventuresome puppies! We have a dog door for those dog guests that want frequent outings or door service by us for those less ambitious doggies. A typical day at doggy paradise includes numerous supervised romps in the fenced in backyard, walks in the neighborhood, lots of love, and plenty of water and meals as per owners instructions. As a little background we just lost our last two dogs within the past two years, one to old age, and one young to cancer. We still want dogs in our life so we are now boarding. Note: An additional daily surcharge will be collected for dogs over 55lbs, details will be addressed at booking depending on dogs weight and age. Thank you Full time care. We will take great care of your pet in our home and fenced in backyard. Typically there is an adult present for full 24 hr care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are let out. I follow your specific dogs instructions and routine, depending on what they are used to.
