About: Hi! I currently have a 9 year old English Cream Retriever and two kittens with my fiancé :) I love going on long walks with dogs as well as getting some energy out playing (fetch, tug-o-war, etc) while you’re away. I used to work at a Humane Society and absolutely adore being around animals! Our dog was my fiancé’s seizure alert service dog so he is very well trained (in case you need to drop a dog off and are worried with another one!) but knows how to have fun when he can! He retired in October ‘24 because retrievers legally do retire at 9 and is now a full time goofy house dog with slightly better training than your average pup. Our kittens are very sweet and adventurous! They all get along. Feel free to message me with any questions! I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work 2 days at home and 3 in the office. My schedule is 7-4 so I can make time really early, during lunch, or after 4! My at home days will have more flexibility if needed. Our dog is not allowed on the couches but he does sleep on the bed with us and he is not crated. We recently bought a two story house and the cats love flying up and down the stairs as well as find spots on all the windowsills. It is very spacious if you prefer an area blocked off for any reason.

About: Our family has a dauschaund for 15 years that passed in August. She was provided so much love and care. I'm not afraid to help feel meds to your pup to keep them happy and healthy. We now have a new pup, a 10 lb pomeranian/ chihuahua mix who is about half way through his training to be a service dog and hopefully a therapy dog. He loves his training and putting that work vest on. Hopedully when he is finished he can help put smiles on many faces, just like he has done with my husband and I. Our family has also had cats off and on for over 20 years. While I know they are laid back and are happy with an empty litter box and a full food bowl, they like getting the extra love and attention to. So whether it's with a toy on a stick, balls on the ground, or even some gentle pets they need love while your away also. I currently work part-time from home. I would be available to help your four legged family member before 7am and after 12 noon. The only other thing that keeps me busy is the training with Rupert, but it's flexible. I am asking to care for smaller dogs only because of some medical restrictions. With a small dog I will have no problem walking them, cleaning up after them, and crating if needed. But most of all I will be able to play with them to help burn off energy.

“My boy loved the walks, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I think their temperament was well suited for each other. This is my first time using the service and this walker, and I will definitely use again.”



“Jen is the BEST of the BEST!! She cares about my dog like it’s one of her own!! She’s helped more times than I can count!! She makes me feel confident that no matter what comes up, my furr baby is well taken care of in my absence!!🩷”


About: Hi! My husband and I are both hybrid workers, so we’re home often and have flexible schedules that allow us to spend quality time with the dogs we watch. We live in a two-story home with no kids or pets of our own, which means your dog will have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Since there aren’t other animals or distractions, we’re able to give your dog our full attention, lots of love, and care tailored just to them. My experience with dogs goes back to when I was 3 years old, and had my first family dog that I grew up with like a sibling! From that moment, I always treated dogs as part of the family. I rescued my second dog while I was in college from a shelter, and I also spent many years pet sitting for my neighbors, which was truly a dream job because I got to spend all day long playing with dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and routine they often need—whether it's administering medications, helping them up stairs, or just giving them a peaceful spot to nap. We work full-time, but have hybrid schedules where we work from home most of the week. We make sure to rotate our in office days so one of us is always home. We are able to provide potty breaks every hour! For exercise, our neighborhood is suitable for long walks. We also have a yard where we can play with your dog, as well as several nearby trails.

“Wendy is a fantastic dog walker and pet sitter. She walks my dog three times a week and always makes sure to feed him during her drop-ins. She consistently sends me updates and photos, which I really appreciate. Wendy is reliable, communicative, and someone I fully trust with my pet.”


“Caitlin is a great dog walker/visitor. She leaves detailed visit notes that many time make me laugh and always connect me with my pet when I am not there. She is very reliable.”



“Christina was great with Lucy as always and made sure she was safe on her walk and played and had fun!”


“She is very personable. She is reliable and excellent with my dog. Definitely hire her again”


About: We have had pets (dogs/cat) in our house my entire life and I have been responsible for feeding and caring for them. Also, for the past 5 years we have also fostered dogs with Bullies2theRescue. I am currently a college student seeking employment on my summer break so I am available to meet your pet needs whatever they may be. We have a fenced in yard, multiple sized crates, and a large laundry room available to keep your pet safe and secure. I am also available to provide walks, playtime and love and attention for your furry friend.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a child. I currently own a 2 year old miniature dachshund and have taken in my family’s senior dog that we’ve have for 12 years now. I love teaching my dachshund new tricks and taking both sweet pups for long walks around our neighborhood! I am a teacher during the school year but have open availability all summer long to love on and take care of your sweet fur babies! I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs to keep your fur baby company! I also have a dedicated area to section off if your pet needs more alone time.

About: I will show your pet the same love and respect I show my own family members! I know they are an extension of your family too. They won’t be crated unless that is what you request. I don’t shy away from special care requests such as shots or extra bathroom trips. I don’t have grandkids yet so I need an outlet to give all this extra love too! I am a teacher and have the summers off and work half days during the school year. I would love to care your pet while you enjoy time away. You can be sure they will be cared for and I will update you with photos and videos as often as you’d like. We can even FaceTime you if you want! Your pet is welcome to make my home their home. I will make their stay as comfortable as possible. I will comply with all special requests! If I do have to leave them alone, they will be separated from any other dog. They will never be unattended outside.

About: I have 1 Westiepoo and 1 cat. I work from home and keep an eye on them in my office at all times. They receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I will care for them as if they were my children ☺️ Work from home and am a homebody so I will be around all the time to give them lots of love and attention. If your furry friend is the anxious type, our home is very peaceful throughout the day. I have a fenced yard big enough for lots of running and plenty of playing. We love walks around our neighborhood and provide lots of attention to our pets.

What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animals — not just how to care for them, but how to read them.

I’m available most days of the week, though I take Sundays off to rest and reset. Your pet’s routine matters to me, and I do my best to keep them feeling safe, loved, and right at home.

I follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk times, play preferences, and any special needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I treat your pet, keeping things clean, secure, and peaceful while you’re away.

Amanda C.
“Amanda Chapman did a wonderful job watching our two dogs while we were on vacation. We have one dog who is diabetic and requires a little extra attention with his medication. Our other dog, a rescue, has severe separation anxiety and Amanda did a great job of reassuring her. She is so patient and caring with our dogs and treated them like they were her own.”

“Piper is a true animal lover, and it shows in everything she does. Her own pets, a lucky dog and cat, are absolutely spoiled with love and care, and she treats every animal she meets with the same attention and kindness.

Whether your pet is easygoing or a little quirky, Piper will treat them like her own. I can’t recommend her enough as a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter or walker!”

Corrin B.
“I’ve trusted Corrin with my pet care for years. I have a high energy dog and a reclusive cat. The cat hides from almost every person in the world- except Corrin. She earned the cat’s (and my) trust, which means a lot. She sends me pictures while I’m away so I know the pets are well taken care of. She’s also respectful of my time and home. She’s easy to work with and doesn’t blink an eye at any high-maintenance requests for how she cares for my pets. I’d recommend her as a pet sitter or house sitter to anyone!”
