About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, I provide thoughtful, personalized care that goes beyond just feeding and walking. From spirited puppies to mellow senior cats, I’ve supported animals through every life stage—with plenty of love, patience, and play along the way. I’m confident handling multiple pets, giving medications (including oral and topical), and creating calm environments for anxious animals. I’ve worked with high-energy dogs who need structured adventure walks, and I’ve soothed shy rescue cats who just need quiet companionship and gentle care. My own life is full of furry friends, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether your companion needs a hiking buddy, a cozy lap to nap on, or a sitter who takes litter box duties seriously—I’ve got you covered. As a homeschool mom who works from home, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily rhythm. Our days are structured but flexible, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday adventure walk or giving a cat some quiet companionship while I work, your pet becomes part of our loving, pet-friendly home environment. My kids are gentle and respectful animal lovers, so there’s always someone nearby ready to offer an extra cuddle or throw a toy. Because I'm home most of the time, I’m able to give pets a calm, consistent presence—perfect for those who get anxious when their humans are away. Pet care isn’t a side gig—it’s part of our family’s lifestyle. I provide loving and attentive care in your pet’s own environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or giving medications, I follow your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I’m also happy to clean up after them, including litter boxes or any messes, to keep their space tidy and calm. During my visits, I focus on creating a nurturing, stress-free atmosphere for your pet. I’ll send you updates and pictures, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to providing the best care, right in the comfort of your home.
“Benjamin and Jaime did an absolutely wonderful job at caring for our two dogs while I was away. I could tell from the adorable photos that both our dogs were totally comfortable and happy spending time with them. The communication was superb and we will definitely be using Benjamin and Jaime again!”
“Ben and Laura are great! They took excellent care of Lemon and were perfectly respectable towards our property. It was a delight seeing how excited Lemon was to see them come by for their last visit. Who knew her tail could shake so fast?!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs as long as I can remember. And my experience goes out further than just cats and dogs. I’ve helped my parents take care of the animals on their little homestead for 3.5-4 years. I took care of ducks, chickens, pigs, goats, and more. I’m currently not working and I’m free Tuesday-Saturday. I’m available in the mornings/mid afternoon. I can do night hours only on Thursdays, fridays, and Saturdays. The people that i currently live with have a huge yard and 2 friendly dogs, one that has a runner hooked up outside and the other one gets to free roam. When I am in the clients home, I will make sure their fur baby is well taken care off and has everything they need. And potentially clean up when I leave.
“Megan was a great dog sitter. She was able to do drop-ins with only two days notice. She arranged her visits for three dogs staying at my house. She seemed to get along well with our dogs and got them outside and fed. I’d recommend Megan to other pet owners.”
About: Aside from my childhood pup, I've been a Dog Mom to a handful of dogs. Small & large, friendly & even friendlier, snuggle bug to less needy, I'm lucky enough to say that my dogs (past & present) provide many learning opportunities and an immense amount of joy. My schedule allows for most weekends and rotating weekday(s) off. My husband and I know that a tired dog is a good dog - and routine exercise for our dogs is essentially what we plan our lives around. Our dogs are a bit spoiled - as are most people's. They roam freely inside, even when they're home alone (with the radio on of course - because they deserve it). When outdoors, our dogs are either on leash or have an invisible fence collar on.
About: I have had my animals my whole life. Also I am a dog groomer and have worked at vet clinics in the past doing pet care and being a vet assistant. I am currently working at a dog daycare. I currently work at a dog daycare during the day Monday-Friday. I only work from 6:30am-12:30pm most days. This is just my part time job to get extra money I plan on going to pet parents houses and taking the best care of their animals as possible. Providing them enrichment, food and water when needed

“H is truly the most incredible dog sitter. She went above and beyond for our beautiful girl Millie. She not only gave her all the cuddles, but took her for long walks & hikes. We came home to a house that was way cleaner than it had been when we left and were surprised with printed out photos of their adventures together while we were away. H is professional, loving, kind, & incredibly caring. She is honest & trustworthy. The care she showed our Millie means so much to us. Anyone who is lucky enough to hire H will not be disappointed. She is a true, true gem. H- thank you for being you & taking such good care of Millie and our home.”

Sharayah "Rae" B.
“I cannot say enough great things about Rae. She is truly one of the most knowledgeable and skilled canine professionals I have ever met. Her deep understanding of dog behavior, combined with an incredible ability to communicate with both dogs and their owners, make her an outstanding trainer. From our very first session, it was clear that Rae has a natural talent for working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Her patience, positivity, and science based training methods have transformed not only my own dog training but also my confidence as a pet owner. What sets Rae apart is her ability to tailor the training approach to each dog's unique personality and needs. She doesn't just train dogs, take care of them, or just another pet sitter, she invests in educating owners ensuring the training and care is effective and sustainable. Thanks to her guidance, my dogs are happier, better at agility, disc and tricks as well as more responsive to me than ever before. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pet, or train your dog (and you), and is professional, compassionate, and incredibly smart when it comes to canine behavior, look no further than Rae. She is truly the best and we are lucky to have such a qualified person local to us. ~ Rosalind Klezos owner of Elliot, Beau and Beckett”
