About: I grew up around dogs and cats. Starting with a Papillon when I was younger and currently my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. Some dogs I've also cared for include Black labs and Springer spaniels. I am comfortable caring for all fur-babies no matter the size! Having such a close connection with my own pets, I understand the stress and sadness leaving them behind. Let me ease your mind and your pets by providing the most loving, caring and comforting environment for them <3 Currently I work catering during the weekends and attend school online during the week so I am available Monday through Friday and also some weekends. My pets eat at the same time everyday, are right by my side for most of it and have the most gentle and caring Mom. (I think they would agree). Dogs in my home go outside to pee every 2-3 hours and poo walks 2 times a day. We prioritize routine. Along with play time and stimulating food bowls and toys to prevent boredom.

“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”


About: When I was younger I took care of my parents 2 dogs, one was a golden retriever, a labrador. The lab actually had kidney cancer and I helped my parents take care of her medically, I changed her puppy pad a lot and fed her. The dogs that we had over a lifetime, loved playing outside with them. They were very energetic type dogs and loved to play fetch. Currently, I'm helping my niece take care of her pets, and recently one of her cats just had kittens so I also know how to take care of smaller and younger animals as well. I also know how to give medication to any dog or cat that may need it. I love going outside (depending on the weather and my allergies) so your dog would be in very good hands with me. I love to play fetch or tug of war with them and spoil them to death and treat them like they were my own. You'd find nothing but love and care for your pets when you book with me. Plus I respond promptly and love working with new clients. I work from home 24/7 now, so I can fit pet care in at any time needed. But scheduling should be from 9 am to 7 pm so that way I can respond back quickly and efficiently. I have a fenced-in backyard, I can take them out whenever they need to go for a walk or a potty break. Also, any pet I'm taking care of I treat as my own so that means they get plenty of care and love from me. Also, I live in a really decent neighborhood, so when we go on walks they won't get hurt at all I would protect them with my life. And if it's too hot of a day or rainy we'll play inside instead of outside so they don't get sick.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of every kind. I recently obtained my bachelors degree in animal science and have been working as a vet tech for 3 years now!

I am switching to pet sitting full time and will be home all day and night with the pets. I have a fenced in yard but also go for daily walks through my neighborhood for exercise. When a pet stays at my home, they have access to the entire house unless they need to be separated per your request. I have different areas that can be blocked off if needed. I take the dogs out for a walk 2-3 times a day and will use the fenced back yard for play time and potty breaks in between. I can administer medications if any are needed and follow whatever feeding schedule you have set for your pet! If I am coming to your home, I will follow the routine you have set for your baby as closely as possible!

During walks I make sure your dog is not exposed to any danger, such as keeping them away from any moving cars. Staying alert for any other dogs to prevent any kind of behavior that may cause harm. I also make sure to pick after them to keep a safe environment. While dropping in to keep a pet company I make sure they have sufficient water and food, if they need to relieve themselves and play with them/ offer back rubs to sooth them.

“Always great and gives the best photos and updates about our pup!”


Molly C.
“Molly is an absolute gem! She recently stayed at our home to watch our two dogs—a big, energetic pup and a little one who needs gentle care. Molly’s energy is incredible; she’s both calming and warm, which put our pets at ease immediately. She was wonderfully attentive to both of our dogs, giving our big one plenty of active playtime and being extra gentle with our small dog, just as we asked. I was so impressed with the thoughtful little things she did, like wiping their paws every time they came inside. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and at home while we were away made all the difference. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She’s truly an amazing person who gives pets all the love and care they need!”

Raymond D.

“I highly recommend Raymond for taking care of dogs, he’s great with them and follow directions to a T. He’s helped me out plenty while taking care of my 2 dogs, one an average sized dog and one a large sized dog. He plays with them, feeds them and helps bath them from time to time. So, if your looking for a great dog care taker that follows rules, he would be a great choice for you. And he’s always available because he’s currently working from home.”
