10. Eve E.
About: I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was 12 years old. Horses, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, you name it! My love for animals is what inspired me to become a vet tech and I want to continue providing care for many years to come. I have several references available upon request. I'm currently working for an veterinary hospital 2-3 days out of the week, and this schedule varies week to week. I work 8 hour shifts on these days. ** For overnights, if your pet is alright with being left alone for these periods of time, or you'd like to schedule me concurrently with another sitter / family member / friend, please let me know. ** ** If you schedule with me at least 8 weeks in advance, I can put in a time off request with my work so I can better accommodate your pets. ** I prefer to care for animals in the comfort of their own homes. Having a daily routine that is specific to an animal provides stability, and removing them to a completely new area they don't recognize can be possibly damaging and cause significant stress. I will adapt to your pet's schedule and help make them feel at ease knowing they won't be forcibly removed from their home.

I will care for your pets the way YOU want! I will do everything i can to make your pets feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone!


12. Jillian B.

“Jillian is so great with my pets, especially my extremely nervous dog. She is patient and compassionate with him, and he seemed to warm up to her right away. Jillian is a great communicator, sending photos and regular updates about the pets. She is a comfort to my dog while I am away, and to myself knowing that my pets are in good hands.”


13. Samantha L.
About: As a lifelong pet parent, I bring a deep love and understanding of animals to every walk. I’ve spent my entire life caring for pets, so I know the importance of building trust, maintaining routine, and providing genuine companionship for your furry friend. What sets me apart is not just my experience but my commitment to ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and loved during every walk. I treat each dog like my own, paying attention to their unique needs and personality to make sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve. With me, your dog isn’t just another walk — it’s a fun, enriching experience they’ll look forward to every time! I am currently a teacher in my local school district available for walks or drop ins after 3pm Monday-Friday! I have plenty of available time to be around to walk and play with your pups! I do not currently offer in house boarding and am only focusing on walking pets in your neighborhood, but I am more than happy and able to walk and play with your pets. I am comfortable with crating animals or leaving them free roam in house after playtime is over, whatever is considered the "norm" for your pup!


14. Johnathan M.

“John took great care of our animals. We got a picture after each visit, which made it easier for the kids to be away from their fuzzies.”


15. Suzanne S.

“Suzanne was great, she was able to accommodate my schedule and she did a great job with my dogs!”


16. Michaela R.

“Very well done! My girls were taken care of and Happy to have Michaela’s attention😁”




17. Crystal C.
“Crystal is THE BEST! She sat for me for all three of my Rottweilers over the past years. Whenever I would leave them for a trip, they would always be calm and happy when I got home so I know she took good care of them. She goes above and beyond her call of duty ... She loves the animals and they love her. She is the only one I call when I need a pet sitter. ”


18. Nicole K.
“Nicole is amazing!! Since day one of meeting, her and my dog Sonny became instant best friends! She is always so flexible and accommodating with my schedule. I never have to worry about him as she takes care of all of Sonny’s needs and treats him as if he was her own. I highly recommend her and her services!”


19. Amaya M.
“Amaya watched my pit a few months back when I took a 5 day road trip to Atlanta. We checked in with each other and even facetimed because I missed Zulu. I came back to an even happier dog then when I left and I got the alone time I needed.. I would recommend her and even had her watch a couple of my buddies dogs and cats here and there.”
