“Alexis was a great sitter for our cats. She communicated well beforehand and the cats seem to take a liking to her pretty quickly. She made sure to follow the instructions we left her and left the litter box clean. Overall we're very happy with her work and would definitely ask her to catsit again.”
“Sam, our 15 yr. old cat, tends to be a bit of a cat-curmudgeon. He rarely leaves our home. Janice and her family are genuine pet lovers whose wonderful home provided Sam with a warm, welcoming environment to relax and become part of the household. They were extremely caring and their depth of pet knowledge kept Sam healthy and happy, providing us with a stress-free vacation. Regards, Cindy & Luis”
About: I grew up with two dogs in my house that I was the main care taker of. We have also had Guinea pigs and rabbits. My work schedule rotates. So I would be available different days In the week. My schedule will be updated on that app weekly for my current schedule I will care for your pets like they are my own. I enjoy meeting new pets and making them happy. Dog walks are my favorite!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and took the responsibility of taking care of and training our family dogs. They all turned out great with my first dog becoming a therapy dog helping children. Can’t imagine a world without a dog by your side! I currently work in a school system so during holidays, school breaks, and the summer I’m the most free but can always help once I get out of school as well. Great backyard with a pup to play with. Lots of shade and fencing. Many toys and such to play with as well. Great spot for dogs to relax.
“Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”
About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds), and bike cart rides for the senior pups are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 12-3:30 I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I am working at a school 12-3:30, and going to school online. I recently moved my senior dog up here, but I am missing all the adventures we used to go on! Caring for your pets gives me the chance to go where he can't. I do not offer boarding. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.
About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!
“Ashley took amazing care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon. We were able to have a stress-free trip knowing we could count on her to be there twice a day to feed them AND spend time with them! I will definitely be booking Ashley next time we go away, and you should too! She’s very sweet and intentional with animals. ❤️”

About: Hi there! I have 15 years of pet experience, especially with dogs, but most importantly love animals. Beyond prior pet care and volunteer experience, I've spent the last 5 years fostering dogs and have had my own dogs, one stubborn pup currently (house sitting without her), giving me the opportunity to care for and work with dogs of a wide range of needs both health wise and behaviorally. I love getting to know new pups of all ages, shapes and personalities and will be sure to provide them with the best time away from their family possible, following any routine and needs they have. Although notice is great, I am happy to take last minute bookings. With my work I can easily fit my schedule to your dog's typical exercise, engagement, and feeding routine. I would care for them however you request, and however they’re used to being taken care of. I’d follow whatever care instructions you provide along with any notes shared with me during our meet and greet.
About: I have had pets throughout my life, and my deep love for animals is what makes me a great pet sitter. Regardless of the creature, I will love your animal and will provide the best care possible. I am infinitely playful and loving. I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of freedom while my children are at school between 7-3 and after 4:30 when my husband returns home from work. We have a very sweet miniature Dachshund who LOVES playing with other dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard and will take your pup for walks to ensure he/she is getting exercise. Our Dachshund can play with your dog inside, and can either accompany your dog on a walk or can stay behind while I walk your pup.
“Abigail was the perfect cat sitter. I was so nervous leaving my cats for so long but it turns out, I didn't have to worry at all. She came for a meet and greet, learned all their names, and followed every instruction during the entire two week period. I needed twice a day drop ins for one hour each. She stayed for the entire hour, played with the cats, fed them, pet them, cleaned food bowls, replaced water bowls and cleaned their litter. She took pictures of them every time and by the end, my cats were so comfortable with her. I would hundred percent recommend her if you want a sweet, caring sitter who you can rely on.”

Alexander S.
“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Alex with my dogs multiple times, and I can confidently say he is one of the most skilled, compassionate, and reliable people I’ve met when it comes to working with dogs—of any breed. Whether it’s a high-energy shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a timid rescue, Alex knows exactly how to approach each dog with the right balance of patience and kindness. His calm demeanor put both dogs and owners at ease. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs of all shapes and sizes, Alex is the one. I highly recommend!”

“Stacey was great. She even managed to get my very shy cat to come out from her hiding spot. I would definitely have Stacey take care of my Cat again”
Kimberly P.
“Kimberly is, first and foremost, a deeply kind person. She has a soothingly calm energy that I find puts both people and pets at ease very quickly. She is really bright...intuitive, thoughtful and very respectful. She loves being active outside in nature in her free time, especially hiking with her own dog Zeek. If you are looking for a pet service professional who will take true care of your animals, who will keep them safe, and who will be focused and present, look no further. As an animal lover myself, I recognize how important it is to find someone who you can trust and as someone who has known Kimberly for almost 20 years, I can tell you most assuredly that she will be that person for your pet!”

Nicole is always compassionate and loving whether it be a fellow human or a pet that she knows is loved by their family. Nicole has suffered numerous debilitating trials in her life and not one of those trials has broken her kind loving spirit.

Chrissie D.
“Chrissie has taken care of my dog, George, for about half a year now. I completely trust her with him and more importantly, George loves her company. Whether I'm going out of town or George needs a quick walk, Chrissie is my go-to dog sitter. She's very responsive and is very easy to reach. I appreciate that she's always taking the time to ask questions about George's habits and health. I'd recommend Chrissie to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter.”

Hannah S.
“I can’t recommend Hannah enough for any pet related care. My dog Sammy fell in love with her instantly and I know he misses his country life at her home. Sammy went on great walks, had lots of attention from her family, and of course enjoyed playing with their adorable Dachshund, Charlie. We loved getting pictures texted to us while we were away. Every time our family goes out of town we hope Hannah is available to take Sammy.”
