About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve grown up around dogs and have personally raised both a German Shepherd and a Yorkie Terrier, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats, horses, and farm animals for years, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and ages. From feeding and walking to bathing and playtime, I’ve done it all. I’m great at reading animal behavior and helping them feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available on my days off as well as before or after my shifts. I love spending time with animals, so I’m excited to fill my free time caring for pets and helping out fellow pet parents whenever I can! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. I stick to feeding and walk schedules, give them lots of love and attention, and always keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I also treat your home with respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel totally comfortable and at ease during the time I’m there.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

“Cierra was a great sitter for our three high energy (and relatively high anxiety) dogs. Cierra sent regular photos and came prepared for the meet and greet and dealt well with some of our dogs who sometimes have problems meeting with new people. We would absolutely use Cierra again!”


“Lindsey took such great care of Miss Betsy! Loved the photo updates and check-ins! Was happy to see that Betsy enjoyed the time while we were away.”


“Bekka was great staying at our house to keep an eye on our elderly and medically fragile cat. He needs lots of meds and she delivered them with care and ease. We couldn't even tell anyone had stayed here, that's how clean she left the place. Would definitely hire her again!”


“This was our first time with a house sitter and Sarah was great! Zeke loved being with her and she left everything in perfect order. I got pics and notes over the weekend. Sarah is clearly a conscientious dog-lover!”


About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I bring both heart and know-how to every pet I care for. I’ve raised energetic puppies, comforted anxious seniors, and managed complex medical needs with love and consistency. I’ve personally cared for boxers, pit bulls, labradors, and even a shih-tzu, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong-willed pups. One of my beloved boxers had epilepsy and DCM, so I’m no stranger to detailed medication routines, monitoring symptoms, and creating a calm, structured environment. Whether your pup needs long walks, belly rubs, medication, or just a cozy lap to rest on, I’m here to provide personalized, attentive care that keeps tails wagging and pet parents at ease. As a teacher, I’m currently off for the summer and have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to pet care. I’m home during the day, available for overnights, drop-ins, walks, and playtime—whatever your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Even during the school year, I’m still available on weekends, evenings, and holidays. My schedule aligns perfectly with many pet parents' needs, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, administering medication, or just keeping your pet company, I build their care right into my day like they’re part of the family. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented. I make sure your pet sticks to their routine and gets plenty of affection and care while you're away. I always clean up after myself (and your pet!), water plants or bring in mail if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal I care for like my own—with patience, love, and a deep sense of responsibility.

“Linda was friendly and trustworthy! My dogs immediately liked her! She was easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures while we were away! She made us feel at ease with leaving our two dogs while we were away. Linda took great care of our older dogs and gave them lots of love and attention (probably more then they even get from us!!) She was outstanding and we would love to have her dog sit for us again in the future!!”


“Kathy was absolutely amazing. She watched my two small dogs over the weekend. She is kind, patient and keeps in touch throughout. I have an elderly dog which can be challenging, but she handles every situation with care and understanding. Kathy was even so kind as the bring in our packages and the trash can (we have a very long driveway). I highly recommend Kathy. She was the perfect house/dog-sitter.”


“Kristen was lovely. My dogs seemed very happy upon returning. Usually they get very stressed when we not here, the calmness reinforced her attentive care. Everything clean and she even washed her sheets. The pictures and updates a comfort to us. Thank you Kristen. You were wonderful.”

About: From senior lads to little pups, I've been with them all! Four years and counting in the vet field has taught me every pet has their own personality. While some may prefer calm and quiet and others energetic and outgoing, my focus is, and will always be, your pet's individual needs first. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my schedule, part-time work with dedicated morning, midday, and evening availability as well as open weekends. Your pet's well being is my priority, ensuring they receive loving attention whenever you need. Shy, nervous, or extremely outgoing - I've worked with and encountered countless different personalities and breeds. My utmost priority will always be your pet's comfort. Working as a vet assistant for several years has taught me the importance of body language and patience no matter the setting!

“I can not recommend Ashley enough. She cared for our dog Sophie in our home while we were away for a long weekend. We could tell that Sophie loved her, and that the feeling was mutual. Ashley walked her several times and even gave her a bath when she got dirty one of those times. She sent messages and pictures throughout her stay relieving our anxiety of leaving her. Ashley left our home in pristine condition and even washed the sheets after use! We feel so fortunate to have found Ashley and will use her for Sophie every time now.”
