“Ashley was great! She gave the friendly cat lots of attention, and she made an incredible effort to keep track of the one that wouldn’t come out. Her updates and pictures made me feel comfortable being away from my cats. I really appreciated the care she gave to them.”
“Amanda was great with my 2 cats. They settled in quickly and were very happy she was there while we were gone for 4 days. She sent photos every day. I would definitely have her back the next time we need a cat sitter.”
About: As an avid animal lover with six years of experience working with dogs—including those who are sick, injured, scared, or have been abused—I can accommodate any special requests to ensure your dog's comfort and happiness. My home is a safe, smoke, drug, and alcohol-free environment where your dog will feel loved and secure. Big or small, every dog is welcome! I aim to make your dog excited for every visit. Consider me to be your dog's home away from home! Early Morning (6-8 AM): I start the day with potty breaks and individual or group walks based on compatibility and needs. Provide fresh water and food according to each dog’s specific dietary plan. Late Morning (10 AM-12 PM): Engage in playtime, which could include fetch, puzzle toys, or simply supervised free play in a secure area followed by supervised outside time. Afternoon (2-4 PM): Quiet time for rest or individual attention like grooming, brushing, or cuddles. This helps reduce anxiety and provides a calm environment. Evening (6-8 PM): Dinner service, followed by a final walk to allow for potty breaks before bedtime. * Night (9-10 PM): Final check to ensure all dogs are comfortable, have access to water, and are securely settled for the night. Address any late-night needs like anxiety or discomfort. My top priority is creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. Each day includes structured playtime, regular walks, and plenty of opportunities for socialization, tailored to their individual energy levels and personalities. I provide nutritious meals, fresh water, and cozy resting spots to ensure their physical needs are met. Most importantly, I offer constant attention, affection, and a watchful eye to make sure each dog feels secure, loved, and right at home during their stay.
About: I’m a retired police officer with plenty of dog experience looking to help out anyone who’s dogs need daytime walkies & check-ins. Trustworthy and looking to make some fun extra money by helping out others. I work 3-4 days a week at nights so I have every day available and 3-4 nights per week available. I love dogs and would love to be able to help take care of others dogs if they need it, while making a little on the side. I work out quite a bit for my job so I’m willing to provide whatever exercise someone requests whether doing walkies or check-ins. I can be extremely flexible in my times and willing to travel a little bit to help anyone out. I'm a retired police officer and a disabled veteran. I retired early and would love to spend some of my time looking after your dog or cat! I treat my dogs like members of my family and any person's pets as my own. I absolutely love making sure they're taken care of!
“Leigh was a wonderful sitter for our attention-loving cat. This is the first time using a service to hire a sitter and we were a little nervous and unsure, but it was necessary for our 10-day trip. Our cat has a little separation anxiety after being home with us all the time during the pandemic, but Leigh helped her to feel loved and at ease. Leigh was thoughtful, detailed in her attention to our cat and her needs, and was so patient when a few unexpected things came up. She even watered the plants, brought in the mail, and was sure to clean up scattered litter on the floor beneath & around the litter box. We’ve already booked Leigh to drop-in during our next trip. Thanks for putting our mind at ease! ?”
About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs. My work schedule can be flexible so I can adjust it to fit most pet needs so you can plan that vacation free from worry. I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and ages since I was a child. I currently have 2 senior dogs and 2 young cats. I am available for drop in or pet walking any evening after I get off of work and anytime on weekends. Love to help full your needs. I will do drop ins for special medications, feed, potty, or play times. I am also available for longer or shorter walks to help get some exercise and burn some of their energy.
“We’ve used Leslie countless times for drop in’s for our three cats. One of our cats is quite spicy, and Leslie came in with such a great attitude even after a lot of hissing and scratching the first visit. He’s since warmed up to her so well! We will continue to use her for all of our out of town ventures!”
About: I have always had pets growing up. At one point I had 4 dogs, 4 cats and a fish! Those pets range from puppies, to senior ages. I currently have two fur babies of my own! I am a teacher who works a 4 day school week. I am looking to fill my 3 day weekends with loving on others people pets! I currently have a large fenced in yard - perfect for your fur baby to run crazy in! I currently work full time, 4 days a week. Please inquire about specific hours, as I try my best to be flexible to fit everyone’s schedule! I have a full fenced yard, just over half an acre. I am very active with my own pets. We often go on long, multiple mile walks, agility training (for fun!), and practice nosework!
About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, daily eye drops, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments. I am currently not working and doing school online! This allows me to have a very flexible schedule so I am able to accept same day requests! I live with my partner so he is able to care for our pets while I am away. Because I have pets of my own, I don't currently accept jobs that would require me to keep them in my home. As such, I am more than happy to stay with your pets the entire time you are away (unless we discuss any time I may have preplanned events). I would stay the night with them if you are gone overnight so we don't have any accidents or stress! I would do my best to uphold any schedule you already have in place (ie feeding, walks, medicine, bedtime).
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! I grew up on a farm & then during college I worked for a dog training facility & cared for many dogs there as well! I work weekdays with some exceptions on the weekends. My calendar of availability is updated everyday. Please do not book out longer than a month from the current date without messaging me first. I have a dog of my own! She’s super friendly. But I won’t be bringing her with me on calls unless talked about with you first!

“Took great care of my baby!”
Brent A.
“Brent has had a love for animals for a long as I have known him...and that is a long time. I have trusted him with much more than the care of my pet and he can certainly be one to care for anyone else's. But do not ride with him to Oklahoma. Thanks.”
James P.
“James did a fantastic job watching our cats for us. He clearly loves animals. He was on time and sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely use him in the future!”

I feel Savannah would be a great pet sitter but also a great friend for your family pet.”
