“Angela is a delight. She spends a lot of time with each pet, doing things that make each one feel comfortable and seen. She even cozied up on the floor to make a newer member of the pet family feel like home. She also sends tons of pictures, which is great! I love seeing them being well taken care of. Definitely will ask to help again in the future.”


“A wonderful couple who went above and beyond caring for our fur-babies. I truly appreciated them for cleaning up “accidents” caused by the animals, most people would’ve left it. The care you showed our Pit Bull baby Max lol, touched me and him obviously. Definitely will be using them again in the future.”


“Thank you Brigit-for being such a great pet sitter. Your temperament is excellent I think when pets are stressing about where their pet parent went—-I’m so glad my Cleo came out from under the bed the first day with you and I appreciated the daily snapshot of your visit….was a treat for me to have daily check ins. Hope you can sit with my Cleo again as needed..”


“Hossanna was wonderful taking care of my pups; describing them as “angels” and with my large anxious dog and one elderly baby, it was assuring as it is sweet! She worked with me remotely no problems and went seamlessly with reliable pictures and communication for confirmation. She was diligent and flexible with their schedules and have only positive remarks for her care!”


“Geneva was fantastic with my kitties! She was super responsive and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable leaving my cats to her for the holidays. Even my cat who is skiddish warmed up quickly to her! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an attentive and friendly sitter. Thanks, Geneva!!”


“Scout and Bailey were happy to see Margaret again for a drop in visit! Margaret is a great communicator and does a wonderful job with our 2 dogs! Thank you again!”


“Jessica was a great cat sitter! All instructions were followed and she was great at communicating. Skittles seemed very happy upon my return! I would book with her again.”


“Eden was very flexible in working with me and I'm quite sure that my dog is very happy with her. I liked the info I got from the walk and the pictures were very nice to see. That helped me feel very comfortable that she was in good hands.”


“As usual Clancy was very happy and well taken care of. He loves his walks with Justine and is very spoiled by it when we get home. I am very grateful to have such a great tender, makes the vacation more fun when you are not worried about your fur baby”


About: For over 14 years, I cared for two deeply loved dogs - Charlie and Indiana - through every stage of their lives, including special diets, medications, and the realities of aging. I’ve handled everything from leash pulling to pet reactivity, separation anxiety to senior care, and understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. Since losing both of them, I’ve felt the pull to keep sharing that care. I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet - it brings peace when you’re away. I’ve been that person for family and friends for years, and I’d be honored to be that for you, too. In addition to providing a fun and safe environment, I have two goals when pet sitting: 1. Providing care that feels like home, even when you’re away 2. Becoming your pet’s second favorite person! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule. I will be home with your pet the entire workday, making walks, potty breaks and snuggles easy! I can typically cater the rest of my schedule to your pet’s needs as well. They’re the priority when I’m sitting ❤️ I know how important it is to give each pet the unique care they need. Following your care instructions and preferences is my guarantee. No matter your pet’s age, size or needs, they will be safe, snuggled and secure in the way that suits them best.

“Rhiannon was fabulous! Our cat loved her. She sent photos and videos from visits and even brought some emergency litter when our cat's litter ran out. We will absolutely hire Rhiannon in the future!”


About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!

“Greg has done several drop ins including one at the very last minute. He is 100% reliable and I completely trust that he will be here when he says he will be here. The dogs appear comfortable and relaxed around him. Thank you Greg!”



About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs. I've fostered several pups—one of whom I adopted—and truly understand canine behavior, needs, and comfort. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family in a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work a part-time remote internship with a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I’m available when needed and always prioritize their well-being and comfort. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I keep pets supervised, ensure they have plenty of enrichment, and create cozy spaces for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and routines, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. In both cases, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience and attentiveness.

“Danielle was very compassion and caring with my little pup! She follows instructions very well and is easy to communicate with! Will be reaching out again to have her visit my pup! Thank you!”


About: I have worked and volunteered at an animal shelter and provided care and enrichment for all ages of dogs from babies to seniors. I have loved every dog I've ever met even the ones who have bitten me or are misunderstood. I have seen dogs grow up and I have seen dogs pass away. I have been the reason dogs have been adopted and given a second chance. I have even taken dogs off the streets and foster-failed (adopted) dogs who were in shelters. I have never loved something more and have only ever wanted to work with dogs. I truly can't think of anything I would rather do then be with a dog. I promise to love your dog as if it was mine. I will be going to school starting Monday 08/18/24 and could do mornings from 7:30-8:30 and anytime after 2pm. Please text me for more details. I would prefer to only walk dogs and visit at owners home. I could not board them as I only live in an apartment that has restrictions.

“Melanie is thoughtful, kind and conscientious! Our pack is so happy to see her and also match her calm and caring demeanor. We are so grateful to have Melanie a part of our pack!”
