About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and from a young age, I was the one happily taking on the responsibility of feeding, walking, playing with, and comforting them. What began as a childhood passion has grown into a lifelong commitment to animal care. As a professional pet sitter with over 5 years of experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—whether that means sticking to a detailed routine, providing extra cuddles, or calmly managing medications or special needs. In addition to my professional background, I’ve spent over 10 years volunteering in animal shelters and fostering both cats and dogs in my home, which has given me hands-on experience with pets from all walks of life. I’ve cared for animals at every stage, from bottle-fed infants and kittens to senior pets. I'm experienced with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs and can administer medications in all forms: pills, liquids, and injections—even to those clever pets who try to avoid them! I know leaving your pet in someone else's hands can be difficult, but my goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away. You can count on me for reliable, compassionate care tailored to your pet's unique personality and needs. My schedule is highly flexible, and I have a wide range of availability. I can take on any task from 15 minute drop-in visits and walks to overnight stays. For your dog(s), I will provide fun walks with plenty mental and physical stimulation. If the weather does not allow for walks, your dog will get plenty of indoor playtime to burn off energy after getting their potty time. For cats, I'll provide interactive play time (if they like that) as well as cleaning litter boxes daily. For all pets, I will refresh their water and provide treats and/or meals, as directed.


About: I am Petrina, a retired Social Worker, who would LOVE to care for your pets after 35 years of caring for the humans. With just Mario, (my little guy) and me my life style is one of yoga, reading, walking, crafts, biking, cooking just relaxed living and good health. I have experience with dog sitting for my friends. Friends call on me for reliable, safe care of their pets, and I have never failed them. My environment is very dog friendly. The family room goes out to a large plush green space backyard, that is fence secured, with birds, squirrels, chipmunks and hopping frogs for fun. Here pets have active play, rest, relaxation and voiding. This family room can be closed off for potty training if necessary. However, entire home is accessible to pets all day long. A typical day is purposeful, with varied degrees of activity, (depending on needs of pet), and filled with attentive love. A long walking trail and dog park are adjacent to my subdivision where I can take a slow or active walk with lots of socialization if needed and desirable. Pets can really sleep in dog beds or cages or with me or Mario. I can accommodate all special needs pets and have extensive experience with medication administration to cats and dogs.

“Ashley has done drop in visits for me and Heidi a few times now. She was gracious enough to come over for an initial meet and greet. Since then she’s been very responsive and flexible with my irregular schedule. Would recommend!”

About: We have 2 dogs that we love so much! We have worked with them to desensitize them from loud sounds as they where both rescues. We give them a lot of attention and we are home if not at work. We do both work full time but are always with the dogs if not at work We go for a walk in the morning, afternoon, and in the evening if the dogs have the energy. We can feed at different times than our dogs and can work with any schedule. We have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in. We also have a great neighborhood to walk in just behind our house. The dogs also have the whole house to roam.

“Marielle was fantastic with my pups. She was great with making sure to be there around the same times. The dogs warmed up to her very quickly. Lots of pictures and updates. Will 100% book her again!!”


About: I have loved dogs my whole life and have experience with dogs of all sizes/breeds! I grew up having a yellow lab, Lucky, and about 2 years ago adopted my own dog, Pluto, who is a rescue dog from St. Maarten. I have trained my own dog, Pluto, by myself so am great in assisting in any dog training that you need help with. I also help my parents out with their 2 dogs, a pitbull, named Lucy, and a golden retriever, Cody. I know how much dogs are our family members and I treat all animals with the most care and love! I love going on long walks and even runs and am available to help you take care of your pet in whatever way you need. I am very flexible and here to help out with whatever I can assist you with. I'm currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your doggies! I am available all hours on weekends and on Mon-Fri from 11am-6pm. I love all dogs! I just would like to know a little bit about your pets personality and what they like. Please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs/if they have any certain triggers that I should avoid. Also, let me know if they have any allergies or if you are using a certain training style that I should use!

About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! This is my passion, and I do this full time! Helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a bit, and keeping pets company and giving them love and care, that's extremely rewarding for me. Being helpful, compassionate, and spending time with animals is the dream. I can't imagine doing anything else! Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, let me know. I'm here to help!
