About: Hi, I’m Hannah! After saying goodbye to my soul dog of nearly 16 years, I realized my love for animals is still very much alive, and I want to pour that love into helping other pets live happy and vibrant lives. I adapt my care to each pet’s personality, whether they’re in the playful puppy phase, an adventurous adult, or a senior who needs a little extra care. I’m reliable, responsive, and respectful of routines and your home, and I love providing walks, playtime, enrichment, or cozy companionship depending on what makes your pet happiest. I also have experience with medications, surgery and injury recovery, picky eaters, and close monitoring when needed, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to prioritize the pets in my care throughout the day. Walks, drop-ins, medication times, and routines are intentionally built into my schedule to ensure consistency and reliability. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive and responsive to their needs, and I respect your home by keeping everything tidy, secure, and as you left it. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel happy and owners feel completely confident.

About: Hi! My name is Sierra, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for them, understand their behavior, and enjoy their company every day. I used to go to the dog park regularly with my own dog, so I’m comfortable handling dogs in social settings and making sure they stay safe and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend as if they were my own! I’m currently a full-time traveler with a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to be available most days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and even short notice bookings. My lifestyle gives me the freedom to adapt to your dog’s needs and routine, whether it’s a daily walk, occasional drop-in, or a last-minute outing. When caring for pets in their home, I always make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure your pet stays comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I’ll only do what’s asked of me, and if I ever have any questions or need clarification, I won’t hesitate to reach out to you directly. Communication is important to me, and I want to make sure everything is done just the way you prefer for your pet’s routine and well-being.

Shelby saved me in a pinch when another sitter had to cancel. She was great at communicating with me - sending pictures, videos, and updates during her visits. I am so thankful knowing they had care while I was away. I will continue to book her going forward. Thank you!

About: 5+ years experience operating my own pet care service with over 25 regular weekly/monthly clients. I provide dog walking and drop in visits for both dogs and cats. While my pet care service started as supplemental side income, it has now grown into my primary source of income. As such, my time and availability is now prioritized for taking care of your pets. For drop in visits I will provide whatever routine your pet is most familiar with. I never force or rush the interaction beyond what your pet is comfortable with. I let them set the pace and allow my patience to incrementally navigate our progress.

About: Hi, I’m Anna — a calm, reliable pet sitter who treats every dog like they’re my own. I specialize in providing structured, low-stress care for dogs who do best with routine, patience, and clear expectations. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, consistent routines, or someone confident handling anxiety or new environments, my priority is always the same: your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. One of my own dogs, Velma, has been raised and trained using calm, consistent routines in both home and public settings. That experience taught me how much dogs thrive when guidance is clear, fair, and stress-free — and I bring that same patience and structure to every dog in my care, no matter their age or background. I believe peaceful downtime is just as important as play, and I tailor care to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your pet’s existing routines, administer medications if needed, and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I offer flexible availability to support busy families, shift workers, and last-minute needs. Early mornings, late evenings, and overnights are all welcome. Available time blocks: Early Morning: 5–7 AM Mid Morning: 8–11 AM Lunch Time: 11 AM–1 PM Mid Afternoon: 1–3 PM Late Afternoon: 3–6 PM Tuck-In Visits: After 7 PM Overnight Care: Starting at 9 PM If your routine doesn’t fit neatly into one block, feel free to message me—I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I follow clear, consistent protocols so every animal in my care stays protected, calm, and comfortable. For Boarding & Daycare: • Crates are required for all pets staying with me. • Pets are crated at night and anytime they’re unattended — this prevents accidents, stress, and interactions that could put them at risk. • Crate time is kept calm and positive, like a safe little “bedroom” just for them. For Drop-Ins & Walks: • All pets are kept leashed or in a harness during any outdoor time, no exceptions. • I feed all animals individually to prevent food guarding, stress, or misunderstandings between pets. These routines help ensure that everyone — yours and mine — stays safe, relaxed, and happy throughout their visit.

About: I've taken care of all shapes and sizes of fur babies. I've looked after animals since I was 12 years old. I have 7 pets at home not all fluffy with 2 leopard geckos. I have no job currently and i have a open schedule. I am very flexible with times and have a reliable car. I see pet care as not a job but me going to meet new fluffy friends. I am only about to do house visits do to me having 3 cats and a dog. They all are very friendly but I wouldn't want to stress them out. At your homes I am more than happy to come multiple times a day to check on your animals. I also clean up any messes that your babies might make.

Brittany was a true professional. Our Cane Corso is not socialized intentionally and we asked Brittany if she could come the day before for an introduction. Our Corso definitely was on guard but after a while during the visit it was all good. The important fact is that Brittany knew exactly what to do to help us with the introduction and that show’s experience and professionalism. I would definitely seek her support for all our future needs.

Alexis was amazing! My dogs are huge and my cats are weird, but she won them over within seconds of meeting them. She took amazing care of my babies, doing drop in visits several time a day. I got tons of pictures and updates each time she visited. Which made me rest easy and stress so much less.
