“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”
“McCall is incredibly responsive and a great addition to our routine. She provides updates and pictures from their walk which is so appreciated. Our dog has epilepsy and she has gone out of her way to give my family peace of mind. I am confident our dog is happy and safe while in her care.”
“Kaylee was excellent :) Awesome, proactive, and clear communication. I knew my anxious old girl Lacey was in good hands, and she had a great outing while I was away all day on a trip. Lacey has happy when I returned. I would absolutely hire Kaylee again in a heartbeat!”
“Thank you, Caitlyn!!! We appreciate you so much!”
“It was a great help to us and Cloby was happy with her. They connected from the first moment and Cloby felt confident with her.”
“Jessica‘s walked my dog several times now. She always shows up exactly what time she says she will be there and does a great job with my dog. I’ll be using her more in the future.”

About: I grew up feeding both my mastiff mix Lilly and cat Kitty and walking Lilly daily. In college, I took care of a husky-mix, walking and feeding him daily. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available for walks and feedings and can come check on your pet any time. I have experience with crate-training and know and will always strive to respect your personal house rules. I understand each and every pet parent has their own special relationship with their pets and I want to honor that as best as I can.
About: I have taken care of dogs from every breed and size for the past 5 years. I am an experienced, professional dog walker and sitter. I have plenty of experience with dogs with different personalities. I currently work part-time on Monday through Wednesday evenings, so I am available on Monday - Wednesday evenings as well as Thursdays - Sundays all day. I care for the pets in my/my client's home with diligence, respect, and compassion. I speak with the owner in advance to talk to them about their needs and expectations, make sure my house is clean and prepared for the dog's visit, then I diligently look after the dog and send updates to the owner.
“Erin (Arin) is beyond amazing with our puppy! She is so sweet and so accommodating and our pup absolutely loves her. She has a natural love for animals and it’s clear our puppy feels the same way back. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl so we can rest assured she is in good hands while at work.”
“Red was a happy boy when we got home! It was a big relief to be able to leave for a long day and know he’d be able to get out for a walk and go to the bathroom while we were gone.”
About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 cats of my own; Binx and Luci. I have 10+ years of dog and cat sitting experience. I am an animal lover and want to take care of your pets so you won’t have to worry! My own cat has medical issues so I am comfortable giving oral medications to pets. I can also do house sitting things like watering plants, getting the mail, etc… I would love to care for your pets! **I am a teacher and have open availability in June and July but my schedule will change come August so I cannot do mid day drops in long term!** I am a teacher and have my summers and breaks off and would love to spend them taking care of your pets! I can also intermittently dog walk or pet sit during the school year. I am incredibly responsible and respectful. I am also a huge animal lover and know how to care for animals. I have a high standard for who takes care of my pets and I promise to deliver the same level of care I would expect for my own pets!
About: I grew up around all sorts of different dogs, and I love to play with them. Whether it's a walk, a brushing, or just want me to hang out with them, I'm the girl for you! I will say that I am quite small myself so if your dog is 70+ lbs and/or strong then you may be better finding a different sitter 😅 I am not very strong haha I'm currently between jobs so this allows me to be free basically whenever you need me to be! Plus, this allows me to better create a schedule around your needs :) I will do whatever is needed of me. If you need me for house sitting, I have my own activities to keep me occupied, so no worries about me being nosy :)
“Elizabeth was great. She did a meet and greet with my dog prior to the first walk. She was professional, great with communication, and she was very patient with Riley. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I know how important your pet is to you, I’ve had many pets throughout my life and have loved every one of them with all my heart. Pets are family, so I will take care of your pets as if they are my own! I have experience with a variety of different pets including, dogs (large and small), cats (all ages), guinea pigs, mice, gerbils, rats, ferrets, rabbits, chickens, budgies, pigeons, snakes, turtles, lizards and a variety of fish. I think it is important to get to know any animal I am taking care of before you are traveling so having a meet and greet with both you and your pet is important for me to feel comfortable taking care of your pets while you are gone. Also a list of any medical issues, specific feeding needs (food aggression, slow feeder), issues with other animals (especially for dogs while walking, I need to know their nemesis so I can avoid them), vet contact info, favorite toys and treats and anything else you need me to know. I want to be able to take care of your pets to your standards! I am super excited to make new animal friends! I am currently unemployed and working on my resume, so this is a wonderful time for me to get to know new animal friends, I am excited to meet your pets! I believe that every pet is part of your family, because that’s how I have treated every pet I’ve had throughout my lifetime. It is important to keep a clean environment for every pet, cleaning water bowls and food bowls daily, cleaning cages out when they smell bad or are visibly dirty (sometimes animals make messes that need to be cleaned up before their regular cleaning day), deep cleaning litter boxes biweekly, cleaning any pet beds/linens immediately after they get soiled among other things.
“Avery is very sweet and attentive to Goldie. She can over early in the first walk to sit and slow Goldie to get comfortable with her. Loved all the photos and feedback about my dog.”
“Audrey was amazing with Rocky, he clearly loved the walks and had ton of fun! Super recommend and will book again in the future!”
About: I’ve helped take care pets of my own, my moms, friends, & others who knew of me reliably for 16 years. I do it all I currently work part time and soon to be none so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets to be cared for and loved I will rely on how things work in your house and work based off of your pets schedule. Your pets safety is my first priority
“Jackie is amazing! Xander is in love with her. I will schedule her again”
About: I love to help people care for their pets, it’s important they are safe and loved while we travel! I have done this for many years and now I have plenty of space to host pets with a very large, fenced-in yard and comfortable rest areas while I’m at work. I am experienced in administering medication and happy to include walking in addition to playing in the yard. I have a 15-30 minute commute from work with flexible hours so I am available for meeting at almost any time of day, and I prioritize feeding and potty schedules above all else. I typically focus on potty needs right away and love to give attention by playing and petting. Unless otherwise instructed, I stick to a 10-12hr feeding cycle between breakfast and dinner. I don’t offer any supplies, but I think it’s helpful for consistency and comfort for a pet to have their familiar products while owners are away. Unless otherwise instructed, I allow animals on my furniture. Sleeping arrangements and totally flexible! I love to take pictures and send updates to owners at least once day!
