“Michelle easily gets a five star review. I just moved to the area and was nervous about leaving my dog alone but Michelle has made the transition so easy. She is wonderful with my boy. She is excellent with communicating and sends the best updates. 10 times out of 10, I’m picking Michelle.”


“She is great! She managed to pill her royal furry highness which usually requires a tourniquet and skill of a big game hunter. She worked with our insane schedule and didn’t bat an eye at tore up our house is (not kidding - our life is hectic and our house pays the price - Kathy didn’t even bat an eye).”


“Michelle did an amazing job caring for my pup while I needed to be away. I have a 16 month old mini golden doodle. I love that she allowed time for him to warm up to her by stopping by beforehand. She was aware that he was a bit anxious in the beginning and handled it perfectly. She was also accepting of his energetic personality once he got comfortable with her. Thanks again Michelle!”


About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by family dogs (mainly the bigger breeds). I got my first dog on my own almost 5 years ago and my 2nd last year. I have seen and cared for dogs in all stages. I do work full time with a flexible hourly schedule and can help with care as needed. Currently I work 9-5 and I walk my boys every night and can make most scheduling needs work! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs myself. While I’m home the dogs can all be interactive together in and outside, while also being walked. While away from home and for sleeping dogs will be crated for safety purposes (never longer than 8 hrs for work)


About: PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE PENDING REQUESTS TO OTHER SITTERS. Please understand that when you send me a request, I have to turn down other potential clients while I wait for you to confirm. Thanks in advance for being a considerate neighbor and human. I had dogs all through childhood and college, and miss having a four-legged friend around! Sadly, my own work travel schedule prevents me from having a doggo of my own right now, so I thought that it would be a good compromise to lend a hand to other frequent flyers who love their pup too much to put them in the kennel. Rest assured that your dog will not get just a 15-minute lap around the block to pee, I'll take him or her to the dog park, on a hike, or if your pup is more low-key, I'll totally snuggle on the couch. My pet ownership experience is mostly with big dogs (sheperds), so that's definitely my soft spot, but I've taken care of all breeds and sizes through volunteering as a foster with a rescue group in my former home of Washington, DC. I have a reliable car, so it's easy for me to get to your place to check in a couple of times a day. I work from home, so I am pretty flexible. I do live with a sassy cat, but we live in a big duplex where pets can be separated if needed. I will strive to stick to your pet's usual routine whether I am sitting at your home or boarding in my own home. They are already missing their humans, and maintaining their routine gives them one less thing to be anxious about.


“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”


About: As someone who’s naturally calm, observant, and patient, I connect easily with pets who need gentle energy—whether they’re playful pups, anxious rescues, or sweet senior companions. I’m a homebody at heart, so your pet will always have consistent attention, a peaceful environment, and plenty of snuggles. I’m especially comfortable with older dogs who need slower walks or extra care, and I have experience reading subtle body language cues to keep pets happy and safe. I treat every animal like my own, and I’m here for the quiet moments, quirky habits, and unconditional love that come with pet care. I have open availability so pet care is the best part of my day! I’m home often, love quiet routines, and prefer paws over people anyway. I provide care in your pet’s home where they feel most safe. I follow routines, give calm attention, cuddles, and keep their space clean and cozy.

“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”


About: Hello, I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. I have taken care of roosters, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, kittens, goats. I really like playing with animals and entertaining them. I like taking them for walks and bathing them. I started working as an animal caregiver at the age of 20 with neighbors, friends, and family. I believe that animals are very intelligent and full of love. I just arrived in the country and I am looking for a job that I can do part-time and be able to study. I am also looking to do what I love and am passionate about, which is taking care of pets, being able to walk them and take care of them, giving them everything they need, which is love and care. I have a park near my house where I can play with your doggy baby. I also have many toys and ideas in my house to do with them.

About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pups and kitties of all kinds—raised dogs from puppy zoomies to sweet old souls, cared for sick pets with heart, and the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors. I treat every animal like the quirky little legend they are—each one with their own vibe, needs, and love language. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, meds, or just good vibes, I’m here for it all. 🐾♊️ I currently work remote and PT so I have plenty of time to pop over to your house for a mid-day or evening potty situation. Whether in my home or yours, pets get the full VIP treatment. At our home, they're part of the family (we have 2 very friendly dogs & a fenced in yard)—cozy spots to nap, daily playtime, walks, and tons of love. In your home, I keep their routine consistent and their energy happy—feeding, snuggling, walking, and hanging out like their favorite human stand-in. I tune into each pet’s unique vibe and make sure they feel safe, seen, and totally adored

About: Hello, and thank you for looking at my profile! As a dog owner myself I completely understand how hard it is to know where to turn for dog sitting. You have come to the right spot. I will make sure that while you’re out of town the only thing you need to worry about, is what drink to order. I have had cats since I was about 7 years old. I learned from a young age to be responsible for feeding them, cleaning the litter box and giving them all the love they required. I’ve also had dogs including a pup with special needs so I’ve had plenty of experience administering medicine and shots if your pup needs some extra care. I love giving dog walks, playing fetch and snuggling with them. I love and care for all animals and will treat your fur baby as my own. I’m very excited to meet your pup and make sure they are loved as if they were at home. I am currently a full time student taking classes on line so I am home nearly all day. I also live with my husband and one middle aged American bulldog named Zoe. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I have a medium sized fenced back yard. I live in a neighborhood next to a great walking path and three schools that have parks for playtime and sidewalks for safety. We have a room where pups can play and mess around without hurting them selves and they are welcome to the entire house unless you prefer they not be. There are no kids or cats and lots of fun toys and balls to chew on and couches to lay on.

About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.

About: Hi! I’m Kat. I have experience looking after animals of all kinds - dogs (big and small), cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, turtles, you name it. I have three cats at home who get lovingly spoiled every day, and I have experience dog walking, dog-sitting (included overnight stays), and cat-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have a genuine love for all types of animals, and I put their well-being, care, and enrichment above all else. I work from home as a jewelry maker, so my schedule during the week is flexible as can be. I can easily make time for morning, midday, and evening visits. I am detail-oriented and will follow any given care instructions to the letter. My goal is to treat your pet just like you would, with the same love and attention you give them every day.

About: I have had dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I’ve grown up responsible for care of my family’s dogs and now have two of my own. I have provided dog care for friends and family for the last few years including seniors and 8 week old puppies. My two dogs are very friendly and love to play in my fenced in backyard. I currently am a graduate student so I am flexible during the weekdays to check-in on dogs and have a flexible boss if I need to work-from-home for dogs with more needs. I own my house so dogs that are boarded have free access to toys and water all day. I work part-time on the weekends where I am typically gone 8-5pm but can still happily board when I am not home or check in on your pups weekend evenings. I have a completely fenced in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. My two dogs will always be available to make your dog(s) feel comfortable and have fun. I have one small crate (~20 lb size) that I can use for crating, if needed, otherwise I also have spare rooms that can be used to secure your dog to one area if you would prefer, or would happily set up one of your crates for your dog to have their comfort zone.

Ashley W.Star Sitter
“Ashley is quite the do lover. She no only loves dogs but has tons of energy for those who like to be super active. In the time I have known Ashley she has not only watched dogs I've had and done an excellent job but she is also a former foster with a local dog rescue. When fostering with an off transport rescue you rarely know what to expect and Ashley has shown that she can care for many types of dogs of varying temperaments. The most memorable was very anxious and mouthy beagle who was later put on Prozac to help with her temperament and behavior. Ashley fostered Tallulah until she was adopted to later be returned multiple times because people just couldn't deal with the challenge that Ashley was. If I had a personal dog i would not only trust Ashley with its care but not worry because I know she would do anything she could to assure it's comfort and care.”

“Hi! I’ve known April for 25 years and can attest that since I’ve known her she’s always had a special place in her heart for all pets. She’s a fantastic mom to her own two pups, and an equally as wonderful auntie to my 2 kitties. Not only that, she is reliable, timely, and a very responsible person. She will care for all the fur babies as if they were her own.”


Crystal H.
“I’ve known Crystal for 11 years and she has always been a responsible pet owner and would be a great pet sitter. Crystal has had both cats and dogs during the time I’ve known here as well as a turtle! She loved them all. When she lived in Panama she started a meet up group of dog owners so her puppies would have a group of dogs to play with that would meet almost daily. They would even have pet birthday parties! One of Crystals dogs was a stray that she took in and it turned out he had some health issues. Crystal didn’t shy away or surrender the dog, instead she rose to the challenge. She made sure that dog had everything it needed to live as long and as loved as it possibly could. I know she would give him medicine on a daily basis and even administered IV fluids. Crystal is a an animal lover! She makes bandanas for all the neighborhood dogs and sets up play dates for her current dog to play and run around with other dogs. She walks her dog almost religiously, every day, sometimes twice a day. She even started an Instagram for her dog. Her and her husband built an amazing dog house for their dogs with a doggy door, windows and even a deck! She is as loving, caring and responsible of a person as you will find and would make an excellent pet sitter. I’d definitely let her take care of my pets and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caring pet sitter.”
