“Amy took great care of our senior dog and was very patient as he warmed up to her. She provided multiple pictures each drop-in and left detailed descriptions of how our dog was doing, so we knew he was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Amy for our next trip!”
“Kali always does an awesome job when she does drop-in visits for our cat! She takes great pictures of our pet to let us know he is safe and doing well while we’re on vacation. She follows directions exactly and is a great pet-sitter!”
“Miranda is thoughtful, thorough, and so compassionate. She took excellent care of our four cats, one of whom is elderly and ill and on his final chapter. We felt so relieved knowing that he was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I have several references I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that sometimes allows me to work from home. Your dog, however, will never be alone because my husband is home during the day. I take your dog for a morning and night walk and on weekends three short walks. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture
“Olivia went above and beyond. Excellent communication and we felt very comfortable knowing our pup was getting great care while we were away. Definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again!”
“Meghan was very attentive to our elderly cat, Iggy (19). We also have Nova (11) and one foster kitty (2). I received pictures and summary each day. Meghan would summarize Iggys feedings. This put us at ease when traveling”
About: I am confident with dogs, I love taking them on walks or playing fetch. I love the exercise that comes with high energy dogs, and the snuggles that come with low energy dogs. Old dogs that need a little help deserve a little extra love too! I work part time as a hairstylist and I want to fill the rest of my time doing something that makes me happy! I love physical exercise, I love animals, so I know that I can help pet owners! (I also love animals snuggles) I’ll be honest, I didn’t grow up with dogs. But I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember. As a small kid I remember walking up to a big dog, and two adults (my mom and the dogs owner) trying to stop me because the dog wasn’t great with little kids, but this dog just licked my face and let me pet it. If I’m walking down the street and see a dog, you best believe I’m going to ask you to pet them. I have grown up with a cat my whole life, giving them medications throughout kitten-hood and adulthood. I think animals of any kind provide the best amount of happiness for a person.
“Kimberly was amazing with my two boys. She was always on time, listened to instructions since my older dog needs medications. I was sent lots of photos which I LOVED! I love knowing my dogs are well taken care of when I'm gone. They are kids to me. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.
About: I’m a current student who has a mini goldendoodle. I have taken care of a multitude of breeds, from 6-100lbs, including dogs with health conditions that require administering meds. I love dogs! 🐶 I work extremely part time with plenty of flexibility this summer. I regularly take care of my own dog just as I would take care of myself. I care for dogs according to owner advice and instructions. I want what’s best for the dog and offer lots of love and support :)
About: I’ve been a proud rescue dog mom for 6 years and understand how much our pets mean to us. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I have experience caring for both dogs and comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I am especially sensitive with dog with separation anxiety as my own dog suffers from that as well. I'm reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I bring a strong background in responsibility and trustworthiness from my job as an Asset Protection Manager. My job requires attention to detail, discretion, and a high level of reliability-all qualities I bring to every job. I’m here to be a responsible and reliable pet care giver while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve—so you can have peace of mind while you're away! I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving pets the time and attention they deserve! I'm able to adjust my routine to meet each pet's needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions you provide. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether that means giving them space to settle in or showering them with affection. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things tidy and calm. In my home, pets have a cozy, safe environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to relax. Communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“Sarah is very good with the dogs! She was great about helping me change the booking when I had it on the wrong day. She still came over and took care of them right away after my mistake.”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats my whole life. I have always been an animal lover! I currently have one 3 year old Golden Retriever who I love and adore. Having to leave my own dog to go on vacation or needing someone to drop-in or bring him for a walk can be stressful. My dog is my family and I want to know he is in good hands while I’m away. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! Every dog is different and needs different care and I will be there to give your dog their essential needs, exercise, belly rubs and love while you’re away! Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me. I work part-time so I am very flexible for your pets needs and this gives me a lot more time to spend with them as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am good with putting on harnesses and maintaining control while your dog walks on a leash.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs by my side my entire life and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked hands-on with pets of all sizes, and recently had the joy of caring for dogs and cats at an assisted living facility, where I provided gentle and attentive care to both pets and their people. Whether it’s a playful walk, a calm overnight stay, or simply keeping your pet safe and happy while you're away, I offer reliable, loving care you can count on. I’m currently taking online classes, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding throughout the day and week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Last-minute bookings are welcome! As an Army veteran and the partner of a police officer, safety and responsibility are at the core of everything I do. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a calm, secure, and loving environment.
