“We are so grateful for Linda! She took care of our two pups while we were out of town on vacation and it was such a blessing! She communicated well, sent pictures, took the dogs for walk and let our minds be at ease while we were away. We have no doubt we will book Linda again!”

“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Celeste watched my Dane while I was away for about two weeks over Christmas break. She did a wonderful job with my Dane. Followed his schedule as well. If she had questions she asked and even sent updates. She left my home just as it was before I left. I had no concerns and will use her again.”

“Gabrielle was amazing! I always worry about leaving our older dog, Bogey, he has anxiety issues and needs a lot of love and care. Gabby stayed in our home while my family and I were on vacation. She did an incredible job making sure Bogey went out when needed, she cleaned up any accidents he had, and the most important thing is she stayed the night in our home, which allowed Bogey to sleep in her bed and gave him comfort all night, as if I was home. I had zero concerns or issues while gone and I hope she’ll want to come back to watch Bogey for us again. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. We also have a 4ft fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!

“Kristi did a great job taking care of my “takes a while to warm up to new people” dog. She provided plenty of updates and my dog seemed well cared for when we got home.”

Rachel B.

“Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.”

“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

Alexis M.

“Vanessa did a great job taking care of our beloved pets! She was a good communicator while we were away, sending pictures and updates each day. We will definitely have Vanessa pet sit for us again!”

“Calysta was fantastic! She was super communicative and very responsive when taking care of Girly. I especially trusted her care and responsibility. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: Open to Reptiles, Rodents, and Aquatic Species!!! — Hello! I am going to school for Elementary Education and currently work during the week at a high school. I have one baby that I have during the week but would love to give love to fur babies on the weekends! Previously, I have cared for my dear Mickey (Black striped Tabby) who required IV fluids and oral medications along with specific feeding instructions. After my Mickey passed, I took care of three young foster cats. I helped adjust them to a loving home with automatic feeders, fresh water, and a clean litter box. They have all since been adopted through NALA! During the week I can provide drop-in care after school (I have class Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)! I can typically stay for around an hour depending on the needs of my clients. I have much more open availability in the weekends and can provide drop in care throughout the day. - For drop in care you can expect: -Cleaning litter boxes/litter area And/Or -Potty break and short outside stimulation (dedicated 30min or less typically) -refill of water or food as needed -quick check for accidents and any naughtiness -quality attention for friendly animals (dedicated 5-10 minutes typically) —————— —————— —————— I provide walking services, house-sitting, and can host a kitten on the weekends. I am free Friday to Monday evenings for house sitting and walks. I prefer to pick up any kittens I’m hosting at their home so we can get properly acquainted before they say goodbye! - For walks you can expect: -quick check for accidents and any naughtiness -potty time at home while adjusting -proper adjustment of leash/harness before walk and frequent checks during the walk -walk the whole dedicated time as discussed -will ONLY provide positive reinforcement, potentially with treats (must be provided) for correct behavior -hydration time after walk -return of dog to crate if needed - For house-sitting you can expect: -earliest check in on Friday evening (meeting with pet parents preferred) with latest checkout Monday -frequent potty breaks as needed and daily litter cleaning -clean water and food provided as instructed -walks during the day as needed -video check in with mom and dad if needed -picture updates twice daily (AM/PM updates) I expect to stay in a shared space with access to one bathroom and kitchen space (ex microwave). I will be spending the day making sure the animals know how loved they are!! As a student I may be working on homework occasionally but will always put our furry friends first! I am okay with cameras/video monitoring in shared space (not in bathroom) and will do my best to be accessible if there’s anything to communicate! - For cat boarding you can expect: -pickup (preferred) earliest Friday evening and drop off latest on Monday -safe transportation (crate buckled in or on the floor for maximum security) -Cat will have private enclosed bedroom about 200 square feet. (My family has dogs and cats but they will be completely separate and not allowed to interact) -Cat will have quiet, calm space with two bright windows and spaces to hide if they’d like. -depending on the cat I can provide minimal interaction (just at night and in the mornings) or I can play with them most of the day! -sanitary single-use litter in private, sanitized box -food and water as instructed (parents must provide any special food) -churu’s and treats provided unless specially provided -may interact with secured small 5 gallon aquarium with several small fish. (Enclosed and on stable shelf) -comfy bed with no cat or dog access during the week. (They may also use my baby’s clean twin bed haha!) -video check in with mom and dad as needed -picture updates twice daily (AM/PM) I have some other animals in my home but in my experience, animals prefer a calm, patient human when their parents are away. I usually bring a “grandma” presence everywhere I go. Whether that be watching a cat in my home or having a sleepover at a new friends house, what goes around comes around!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

“Kylene was very personable and it was easy to see how much she enjoys animals. Was very reliable. Arrived when expected. She kept great contact by sending periodic pics to assure me Lydia was comfortable and being cared for. I would recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”

Michelle H.

“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”

Tye B.

“We recently booked Alison for the second time, and she met our expectations once again! As travelers, we worry about our dogs, especially Oreo, who has anxiety. Alison made us feel completely at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, showing how happy our pups were in her care. We highly recommend Allison and will definitely book her again for future trips!”

About: I have grown up only knowing a life with a dog. I love caring for and playing with any type of dog! Along with taking care of my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for neighbors and friends for many years now. I work part time so on the days I work I would be gone for about 9 hours. My schedule varies but can be flexible just let me know! I keep the dogs company at the owners home and help them feel safe and happy in my presence! My dog personally loves cuddles and being right next to me to know that I am always there for him.

“Loved Allisyn! Very flexible and great communication.”
