About: Dog Lover by Nature, Technician by Trade 🐾💼 Hi! I’m a full-time Piping and Instrumentation Technician at an oil refinery — but my real full-time job is being a proud dog mom to two fluffy Samoyeds who run the house (and my heart). 🐶❄️ When I’m not checking valves and calibrating instruments, I’m happiest covered in dog fur and surrounded by wagging tails. I clock out at 4:30 PM and go straight into dog mode — ready for walks, belly rubs, and all the ear scratches your pup can handle! Weekends and evenings are when I turn my passion for animals into something I can share. Whether your dog needs a stroll, a snuggle, or a buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let me love your dog like I love mine — enthusiastically, responsibly, and with a pocket full of treats. 🐾❤️ • Weekdays: Available after 4:30 PM (Monday–Friday) — perfect for evening walks, cuddles, and dinner-time drop-ins. • Weekends: Full availability (Saturday & Sunday) for all your pet care needs, big or small. How I Care for My Own (Very Spoiled) Pups 🐶💅 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am! At home, I’ve got two fluffy Samoyeds who rule the roost, and I treat them like the royal (and slightly dramatic) snow dogs they are. I’m big on reading body language—every tail flick and side-eye tells a story. I always let the dog come to me first, especially when I’m in their space. It’s their territory, and I fully respect that! My pups eat like allergy-conscious kings: red meat-free kibble (sensitive tummies!), a splash of wet food for excitement, and daily vitamins to keep their coats shiny and their energy high. They get fed twice a day—7:00 AM sharp and 4:30 PM, just like clockwork. I make sure they get out for potty breaks at least 3–4 times a day, and I’m borderline obsessed with checking their water bowls (fluff equals thirst, especially in warm weather). Before I ever leave the house, I always do a quick scan to make sure there’s nothing they can chew, eat, knock over, or mysteriously destroy while I’m gone. Safety first! When I’m caring for someone else’s fur baby, I go by your rules and routines—but I treat them like my own: with love, patience, and the kind of care you’d expect for a four-legged child (because… they are).

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

I unfortunately do not have a fence, but I have 10 acres for your animals to run on. We additionally do not have children in the house, so no worries for clumsy or bigger dogs.

“Julia is a caring, responsible, and loving person especially with animals. I see how she is with her own dogs and would trust her with mine any day. She watched her neighbors dog for a week this year & went above and beyond, she showed us videos of her helping crate train the dog since the owner warned her that the dog gets aggressive when you get near it while it’s in there. She is such an animal lover and can help the dog in many more ways”

Kelsey B.
“I cannot recommend Kelsie enough as a pet sitter! I recently had her watch my 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Balto, and she was absolutely fantastic. Kelsie is incredibly compassionate and caring, and she has a wonderful way with large dogs. Balto can be a bit energetic at times, but Kelsie was able to handle him with ease. She took him on plenty of walks and playtime, and she always made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. I never had to worry about Balto while he was in Kelsie's care. She kept me updated with regular texts and photos, and she was always available to answer any questions I had. I came home to a happy, healthy, and exhausted Balto from all the fun he had with Kelsie. I am so grateful to Kelsie for giving Balto such loving care, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”


Hallie L.
“Hallie is the perfect person to watch and/or your pets. She treats all animals as if they are her own, caring for strays anytime she is able to. She is prompt, responsive, and detailed oriented. Hallie is a trusted caretaker of many pets while their humans are away from home.”
