“Alyssa was great! I so appreciate leaving for the day & knowing my furbabies would be well cared for and loved! The photos were awesome, I shared with my friend on the trip.”


“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”


“Debbie provided great care when I had a last minute booking for her. She took super cute pics of my puppy and gave great detail in her visit notes. She even stopped by the night before to meet my dog when she was out running errands. I really appreciate her taking such good care of my Evey dog and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Lanae did a great job on short notice for us. Highly recommend.”


“Amber was great with my cat and turtle. She was very communicative and messaged quickly with any questions or concerns. I came home to very happy little girls! Will definitely work with her again!”


“Thank you so much for taking great care of Duchess. We really loved getting the pictures every day! We will definitely be booking you again in the future!”


About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care from a Lifelong Animal Advocate Over 25 Years of Experience | Calm Presence | Gentle, Attentive Care Hello! I'm a retired Nurse's Aide and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry companions of all ages. Whether it’s a shy cat or a senior pet needing special attention, I offer a calm, reliable presence and a deep well of experience. I’ve cared for dogs and indoor cats. My approach? Gentle, observant, patient, and full of love. Why choose me? I’m home full-time, so your pet will get consistent, one-on-one attention. I understand animal behavior and respond with kindness, not force. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for aging pets. I treat every animal like family—because they are. Families often say I’m the kind of sitter they don’t have to worry about—because they know their pets are truly in good hands. If you're looking for someone with old-school reliability and a heart full of love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend. I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs—feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs—so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, peaceful setting—free from chaos, smoke, or other animals (unless otherwise discussed). I keep doors secured, floors clear, and eyes open. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned—through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.

“She is perfect! She responded quickly and even tho I was booking last minute she fit me in to her schedule. Our first time I booked an in home visit and a 30 minute walk with Ann, I had seen such a huge difference in my dog queen when I got home! Not only that but I had went outside for break and just so happened to see her and Queen walking across the street. I got to see how nice and soft-spoken she was to queen and how safe and attentive she was towards her.I am extremely satisfied and and will be booking regular weekly visits! She is great with animals and I highly recommend her. I can't express enough how grateful I am and how much of a difference she made for queen.❤️❤️”


“Blair was perfect for our needs. Our dog is very skittish with unknown people and never does well in a kennel. She came and met with him while we were home to get aquatinted with him. She took care of him for the two days we needed and he was perfectly fine and relaxed when we came home. Will definitely use her again. Thank You Blair!”

I treat every pet like my own! I have a very open and flexible schedule! I’m currently unemployed and serve in the Army National Guard, which only takes a few days a month.

About: Years of Experience! 🐾 Hi there! My name is Madi, and I’ve spent the last 15+ years doing what I love most: caring for dogs. From growing up in a home filled with happy tails and muddy paws to years of trusted dogsitting and daily walks, dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently care for two amazing pups of my own—spoiled, loved, and treated just like family—and I bring that same care, attention, and respect to every dog I encounter. Whether your furry friend needs a high-energy jog(within reason, I am not a runner!), a slow sniff-and-stroll, or just a little company while you’re away, I’m here to give them the exercise, stimulation, and affection they deserve. I offer dependable, flexible, and compassionate service you can count on. I’m not just a dog walker—I’m a dog person through and through. Let’s give your dog their new favorite part of the day. 🐶 I am a registered nurse and have decided to do this on my few days off each week, because it’s something I enjoy! Each weeks availability varies with my work schedule so I have opened my books to one time bookings for now. My pets are treated like royalty! Lol, really… I would strive to keep all pets safe, loved, and happy. They get a short life, and my hope is to offer a service that can bring fulfillment to the long days that their owners are at work.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I trained one of my personal dogs for 4-H. I train all of my pets basic skills. I am able to care for all ages of dogs. I am currently a student. I am looking for activities to fill in my free time in summer. I care for my own pets daily. I have a large yard and 2 very sweet dogs and 2 loving indoor cats. At a clients home I will care for them in the best way I possibly can.

About: With being in the Veterinary field, I hope my career path of being a Registered Veterinary Nurse brings you comfort when caring for your pets. I not only will treat yours like my own, but also will be able to recognize if your furry family member may need to visit the doctor. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16 and truly have such a passion to help animals in every aspect. I work 3.5 days a week and I’m super flexible! I am able to leave during my lunch hour as well to make sure your pets needs/routine is met. With my knowledge and experience I am able to handle your pet in a fear free way. My goal is not to be a stranger but to become friends with your furry loved ones.

About: Howdy! My name is Jordan, I'm a reliable pet sitter who understands that every dog has their own personality and pace when it comes to bonds. While I’ve mostly cared for family pets, I’ve yet to meet a dog I couldn’t establish companionship with. Whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging with them in ways they’re comfortable with. I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I'm juggling multiple freelancing gigs to create a stable income. My project-based work gives me a flexible schedule, though I usually spend Saturdays visiting friends for a couple hours. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I respect each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging them in play. Many dogs deserve more activity than they typically get, so I’m always happy to include playtime, whether it’s a game of fetch, light tug-of-war, or just some extra attention and interaction. When we’re not playing, I’m just as happy to relax and offer cuddles for dogs who enjoy affection. No matter their energy level, I aim to make their time with me feel fun, safe, and stress-free.

“Excellent care and appreciate meeting you first! Thank you very much!!”
