“Tracy is the BEST! He’s punctual, he puts in plenty of time with my sick pet, he even notified us when it was obvious someone had been in our house (our roofer). Book with Tracy!”
“Lisa was great with our girls! Lucy required alot of special feeding and medication care which Lisa did well. Lucy is also very skittish with new people and, by day 2 she LOVED Lisa!! Would definitely request her services again and highly recommend!!”

“We contacted Rebecca to do two drop in visits. She was prompt with response time, stopped at the house to meet our dog before any visit setup and was great with followup after each drop in! Definitely plan to use Rebecca again!”

About: I have been taking care of pets, mainly dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and would take care of my neighbors animals when they went on vacation. I would also take my neighbors dogs on walks and do drop in visits if they got stuck at work or had other obligations. I work from home remotely so you can have the peace of mind that your pet wont be left unsupervised for long periods of time. The way I care for pets in the clients home is ensure I arrive on time to guarantee your pet gets the exact amount of care and attention scheduled. Every drop in I follow a strict checklist to ensure comprehensive care. My rough checklist for Drop Ins/Walks: -Immediate outdoor break with exercise -Feeding and fresh water and if needed, administer medications. -Clean up litter boxes if taking care of cats and cleaning up any possible accidents -Affection and more playtime and mental stimulation for higher energy dogs/cats. -Any other requests just ask & I will fit those into my checklist Once I leave your home I triple check to make sure your pet is secure, all windows, and doors are locked. I treat your home as its mine when I'm leaving so you never have to worry about your home being secured.
“Brittany was great with our cat and very responsive to any of our questions and messages while we were gone. We got lots of pictures from every visit. We will absolutely want to have her back!”

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.

About: I have been pet sitting and caring for my own pets and family/friends pets for about 8 years now. I can walk, feed, bathe, administer medication, and play with your furry friends of all kinds.

If coming to your house to take care of your pets, I will make sure to keep your furry friend feeling as safe and comfortable as possible. Whether through use of a crate, harness, leash, etc, I will make sure they are well cared for.

And as always I will always go over specific circumstances and care with each individual owner

About: I’m the go to sitter in my family. I’ve had dogs in the past but due to age they had to put them down. 😭 Due to my husband’s illness it’s no longer ideal for us to have dogs of our own. I love hanging out with dogs, even the hyper ones like my fur-nephew . I am very familiar with weekend long “drop-in’s” walking schedules, feeding and Disbursing of medicine. I’ve not had to give shots, but would be willing to learn if needed. I work during the weekdays but I am available until 8am, then an hour around 2:30 and after 5pm. Weekends I’m usually home. Will keep calendar updated. I live in the city but have a decent yard for the downtown area and it’s a fenced space! I also live near a park, and the river greenway and enjoy walks.
About: Hi there! I’m Ada— a lifelong animal lover with over 17 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments.

Whether it’s a high-energy husky or a shy senior pug, I tailor every walk or visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality.

Most weeks, I’m available for morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekends I’m very open. I’m always happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet is cared for when you need it. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. When pets stay with me, they’ll be in a clean, calm environment where they can relax and be themselves. I don’t have other pets, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods.
