“Chelsea is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker. She is reliable, consistently communicative, and great with our dogs and cats. Unfortunately, she was taking care of our dogs during a very rainy week, but she did a great job drying them off and making sure they got out there (even if they didn’t want to go out!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”

About: With years of professional dog walking and sitting experience, I’ve cared for all manner of canines. I can handle puppies as well as senior citizens and love spending time with them giving love and getting exercise. I work from home with a flexible schedule so am able to leave periodically throughout the day to care for pets. Please be aware prior to booking that my daughter (10 months old as of April 2025) comes with me on my walks and drop ins. She rides in a backpack carrier and does not come out of it, but only request a booking with me if you and your pet and comfortable with that. I have been entrusted with clients’ homes for years and am confident and able to abide by your requests and needs. I act with respect when allowed access to a client’s home and take care to honor their wishes regarding their animals and household.
“Wonderful sitter! Would highly recommend. She was personable, responsive, and took great care of my babies. She also took care of my plants on short notice. Will definitely rebook her again and would recommend for all of your dog sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since a very early age. I started pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and i’ve loved watching and playing with other dogs ever since! I currently do pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m normally there with the pets most of the day that way they are fully comfortable, and are still following their schedule! I make sure to follow all the instructions, so the pet isn’t off of its schedule. I really try to spend the first few days getting close with the pets, that way they feel totally comfortable with me!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, when I got my first Siberian Husky. She had epilepsy, so I gave her daily medication and learned how to support her needs with love and care. Since then, dogs have been a part of my daily life. I love going on walks and playing with them. I also have a Maltese, so I’m experienced with both large and small breeds. Recently, My first dog passed away, and my other pup has been a bit lonely. We would truly welcome a new furry friend to share some fun and companionship. I’m a full time dog mom currently so I’m home most of the time, aside from caring for my own dogs and occasional outings, so I’m very flexible and available almost any day. I absolutely love dogs and would be happy to spend time with yours whenever you need help! I live in a two story home with a fully fenced yard, perfect for playtime and safety. I have two dogs, a Siberian Husky and a Maltese, both neutered and up to date on rabies vaccines. They’re very friendly and love meeting other dogs! If your pup prefers quiet time, I can easily separate them into different rooms. Please feel free to text me with details about your dog. I’d love to get to know them!

In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for rabbits, birds, and reptiles, including my bearded dragon, who I’ve owned and cared for for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. I have also raised 3 children over the last 22 years. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your needs.

“Emily is great! I’m so happy she agreed to walk my dogs. I was looking for someone to consistently come walk our dogs while we were at work and thankfully Emily was close by and available for the times I needed her for! She asked for a meet and greet upfront and I really appreciated that. It made me and my dogs feel more comfortable with her future visits. Highly recommend Emily if you are looking for someone consistent, friendly & responds quickly!”

“Robin has been so wonderful with my furry kid. She has treated her like one of her own. Robin is reliable, dependable, and responsible. Most of all Robin is a nice, kind, caring, loving person. I always felt comfortable and at ease knowing Robin would be there taking care of my girl.”

Erica has been absolutely amazing with our dogs. She’s been reliable, easy to communicate with, and just genuinely great to work with. You can tell she really cares and isn’t just going through the motions. Our dogs took to her right away and always came back from their walks happy and settled. The updates and photos she sends are such a nice touch and really give peace of mind. It’s clear she treats them with real attention and kindness. We fully trust Erica and feel lucky we found her. We’ll definitely keep booking with her and would recommend her to anyone who wants their pets in good hands.
