About: Animals have been in my life since I was a young girl, dogs, cats, and birds. When my children were young, we raised a litter of 8-German Shorthaired Pointers, it felt like the Disney story only with German Shorthairs not Dalmatians! Over the years I have taken care of my friend's and neighbor's animals when needed, sometimes for days, weeks and as long as a month at a time. I am now retired; my beloved pets have passed on, of course, I miss my animals so much and now I have found that helping others with their pets has filled that place in my heart. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and build a new furship! I am retired, a natural caregiver and love being outdoors and staying active. I am a homebody and enjoy the company of pets, be it cats, dogs, or birds. I spend time working in my yard and would welcome the company of a furry friend. I own my home which is fenced. I do have a pool so animals will not be left unattended in the backyard. My neighborhood is perfect for dog walking. I communicate with clients as to their needs and wishes for the pet care, whether it's for walks, drop ins, boarding, etc.

“Jean was great with Shylah. She walked and played with her at every visit and we could tell by the pictures that Shylah was happy and well taken care of. This was the first time we did not have a problem with Shylah eating while we were away. We appreciated the peace of mind we had with Jean taking care of Shylah and we plan on using her again.”

“Jenna has been amazing caring for our pets. Great communicator, very thorough and the pets adore her. We love to see the photos she sends during visits and they look so happy. highly recommended.”


“Diane was very attentive to our pups while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier with how it went - our pups seemed to love her. She is very communicative on how each drop in went with visit reports and photos. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to pet sit. Her sweet and loving demeanor makes it easy for any nervous puppy to feel more comfortable.”


“Alexa showed so much love and caring to my dogs. She played with them, hugged them and loved on them. Definitely my go to person now. Thanks Alexa for treating my dogs so well.”


“Jo F. Has been consistently available and friendly. Visits always include photos, and Jo has been quick to communicate any issues (like a tricky patio lock). I will have Jo take care of my cats as long as they are willing.”


“Please read for warnings. Torie is someone who seems to truly love cats and gave my cat lots of love/attention which is why I’m giving 4 stars but there are a few red flags that make me reconsider booking her again. Luckily I had cameras set up so I could monitor what she did in my home: 1. On the first day, she brought a complete stranger into my home without permission. This is completely rude and unprofessional. 2. Not a huge deal, but I booked her for 3 visits, one for around noon and the other 2 for around 5pm. All 3 visits were done around noon. I said I wasn’t strict about time but wanted it to be after working hours after the first visit. 3. Taking care of my cat is pretty easy, I just asked for his food to be refilled, cat litter cleaned, for him to be pet, and for him to be brushed. During first 2 visits she didn’t brush him at all. When I texted asking her to brush him she literally did 2-3 brush strokes (not exaggerating) on her last visit. If brushing is important I’d strongly reconsider booking. 4. A bit too nosey for my liking but I might be a bit sensitive. Cat was always in an open area in living room yet she walked over and took purposeful glances multiple times into my bedroom and office and looked in my fridge. Overall if Torie learns to brush cats, comes at agreed times (even if not perfect), respects privacy, and doesn’t bring strangers to the home then she’ll be a great cat sitter as it’s apparent that she truly loves cats and gets joy from taking care of them.”


“Michele was amazing with our pups. She spent ample time with them, gave lots of potty breaks, loved them like they were her own family. I would 110% use her again.”


About: I am currently raising my second labrador retriever. Jackson is a highly energetic, friendly dog that loves his friends and loves to make new friends! Additionally, to raising my own dogs, I have sat for my friend's dogs for years both in my home and in their own home. I currently work from home and will accommodate all of your furry friend's needs as best as I can! I am currently working from home and have a dog of my own that keeps me busy! I have a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate all requests. My own dog is very social and friendly. I will always make sure your dog is cared for as I would care for my own. I do not charge extra for feeding, refreshing the water, or administering oral medication. My own dog has the run of the house - he either runs around in the yard or snuggles on the couch at his leisure.

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember! We used to foster sick animals and newborns when I was younger, so we had many dogs and cats come through our house. This in turn resulted in my love for animals to grow immensely, as I wanted to provide as much love as possible to our fosters while they were with us. Currently, I have a two year old Goldendoodle who is my pride and joy. She is pampered and treated like royalty, as she deserves. I also have a nine year old cat that I adore, he is incredibly loving and affectionate. I consider your pets to be just as important as my own, and will treat them as such! I currently work from home for three days out of the week, so I have some flexibility with my schedule. Happy to discuss further with any future clients! Happy to be flexible based on the animals current routine, whether that means letting them out in the yard or taking them for a walk to use the restroom.


About: I am a certified dog groomer and dog trainer with a Bachelor's degree from Purdue University in animal behavior. I was a pet stylist at Petsmart for five years. I have many years of experience training and providing care for dogs, cats and exotic animals. I am comfortable administering medication and caring for special needs dogs/cats. I am well educated on nutrition, behavior and grooming needs and would love to offer advice on any of these things. I am also willing to do some grooming if desired. I am only able at this time to do drop in visits and dog walking. I work remotely most of the week, so I have a lot of availability during the day (except Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and during the evenings and weekends I can do drop in visits at your home or also provide walks and follow any instructions provided! Also happy to give advice is desired! I’m also able to groom small dogs.

About: I've had dogs on and off most of my life. I've had a dog trainer train me on how to train my dog and I have minimal experience with senior care. I'm currently working part-time and create my own schedule so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding when the need arises. I care for pets in my home by providing them with a designated space that is theirs while they are here and I have a fenced in backyard where they can have safe outdoor fun. In your home I would make sure their food and water is clean and filled and take them for a walk around the block or play with them outside.

As someone who has raised and trained dogs for most of her life, she is also knowledgable regarding their loving and proper training. Any animal would be lucky to be part of her life.

Paige Z.
“Paige would make a great choice for your pet sitting needs! She is very attentive and caring to all types of pets, including my dog, birds, and fishies. My dog is typically over excited, especially when he is going on a walk, and she's always patient with him. She gets him safe on his harness, keeps him well hydrated, and makes sure the pavement isn't too hot on his little paws. She is also extra careful entering and exiting my house, as my dog likes to run out the front door. Paige also has multiple pets of her own, including many dogs and a cat, that she can easily manage and keep happy. She is great at identifying personalities of pups and pets and adapting to their personal needs or routine.”




Erin B.
“I love having someone as caring as Erin available to watch our dog and parrots when we go on a trip. I never worry about them because she takes great care and they love her too. She's professional and just great with our pets.”


Nicole B.
“Nicole is very caring and took great care of my furbaby. We had an easy drop off and pick up. Nicole has a fenced yard and my pup had a great time chasing the squirrels. We have used her multiple times for overnight sitting.”
