“Great experience!! Would book with Jess again!”

About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Julie is fantastic! Such a relief to find someone who takes just as good of care of my baby when I’m gone. Punctual for his walks every week, sends pictures of what they’re up to, and I trust her care with him 100%. My dog loves Julie and is excited to see her every time she stops in! If you don’t trust me, trust him!”
About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.
About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.
“Maria was great! Responsive and handled my pups with ease. She walked them for an hour, which is amazing because I just had spinal surgery and they have been so cooped up.”
“Our dog Stormy loves her walks with Gabriella who was engaging with her the entire time. Gabriella also made sure the house was left as it was when she first came and did a wonderful job making sure Stormy was comfortable before she left. Would recommend to all my friends and family in need of a dog walker!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for well over 10 years. I myself have a 7 year old and 3 year old dogs, and a 18 month old cat and a 4 month old kitten. Since we’ve had each of our pets since infancy, I’m well versed in the adorable yet tricky stages of pet care like puppy &kitten-hood. I can also care well for senior dogs, just like we loved our 16 year old rescue til she crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago. I’ll be working full time later this summer, but I’m looking to fill my days with your pets until then! I’m unavailable most Sunday mornings, but may be able to make arrangements if necessary. I am happy to keep your dog on a leash, in a fenced in area, or in a crate for your peace of mind at your request. I absolutely love dogs, and would make a fantastic guardian for your older dog, young puppy, dog with separation anxiety, or your family pup that you just cant bring on vacation. I also adore cats. I know each one has such a special personality, and I’d be happy to snuggle & play with them on the couch or let them lounge and entertain themselves, watching from afar. I’ve experienced the anxiety of being away from them, so I’m glad to send you pictures or texts to help you feel comfortable while apart. I look forward to getting to know your pawfect family member!

“I use Sharon for our dog Zoey all the time. She takes her on long, lively walks where Zoey gets exercise and fresh air. I know she likes to alternate her route because her and Zoey both like exploring. Sharon's great, loving care helps me feel less guilty for leaving Zoey alone all day when I work. She is very reliable and always shows as scheduled. I have also used Sharon for dog sitting services when I travel for business. Her rates are reasonable and she follows my directions precisely. She also sends me plenty of photos so I know Zoey is in good hands while I am away. Thank you Sharon for treating my pet like she was your own!”

“Solenny is an incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. She has looked after both my dog and my birds multiple times, and every time I come home, it’s clear they’ve been loved and well cared for. My dog absolutely lights up when she sees her, which says everything about how comfortable and happy she is in her presence. Solenny pays close attention to each pet’s individual needs, keeps me updated while I’m away, and truly treats them like her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such compassionate hands.

Rai D.
“My cat, Gigi, is my whole entire world. Best friend. I’m obsessed with her. The absolute love of my life. She is also 100% the spawn of satan. Child locks on all my cabinets. Knows how to unzip backpacks. Knocks over plants like someone’s paying her to do it. Screams and pounces when hungry. Once she ate a literal sponge. Tl;dr, my cat causes chaos wherever she goes, to the detriment of herself and others, and for this reason I am understandably nervous about leaving her with anyone, ever. But Raisa has watched her before (and is about to watch her again!) and everyone was not only alive, but happy at the end of it! I received plenty of kitty pictures throughout the week and came back to a house not on fire + a very cheerful Gigi, love-headbutting Raisa. If she can take care of my hellchild and leave all parties cheerful and unscathed, she’ll be a wonderful temporary pet parent to any fur-baby.”
