About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including administering medication, senior pet care, and basic training for puppies. I treat every animal like family, providing a calm, loving, and attentive environment. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. I'm reliable, flexible, and experienced with both high-energy breeds and pets with special care routines. Their comfort and safety are always my top priority. Although I currently work full-time, I make pet care a dedicated part of my evenings and weekends. I’m reliable with early morning or evening check-ins, walks, and overnight stays. My schedule allows me to plan ahead and give pets the consistent care and attention they need. I prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure routines are followed and pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved even while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment by maintaining their normal routines and surroundings. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication needs, and ensure the home is secure at all times. I build trust through gentle interaction, consistency, and plenty of affection, helping pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Cleanliness, respect for the home, and constant communication with the owner are top priorities to ensure peace of mind and the pet’s well-being.

“Jadyn took great care of our cats and dog. Our dog is a recent adoption and very skittish. Jadyn is one of the only people she has warmed up to. I'm so glad to have someone nearby we can trust in our home and with our pets.”


“Dakotah was amazing! She came by before our trip to meet the dogs and learn their routine, which made us feel so comfortable leaving them. She sent daily photos, took them on walks, and even left us printed pictures and a sweet card when we got home. Highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”


“We were so thankful for Alyna taking care of our puppy! She communicated well, and enjoyed our time away knowing he was very well taken care of. We were impressed with her communication, and thoughtfulness while she stayed in our home.”


“Excellent communication and my pets got lots of snuggles! Prompt, professional, lots of photos. It was really nice to be able to go have a night out and know I could relax because my fur babies were safe and happy. Will be booking again for sure!”


About: I have a genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I treat every dog like my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of belly rubs. I currently work part time, so I have time during the days to play with your 4 legged family members. I structure my schedule around my visits and walks, making sure I have the time and energy to give each pet the attention they deserve. In-home pet care is something I take seriously and enjoy —it’s not just a side job, it's an important part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the comfort, safety, and happiness of the pets in my care, especially when I'm staying in their home. I maintain their regular routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time—so they feel secure and relaxed, even when their family is away. I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pets, keeping things tidy, clean, and stress-free. My goal is to make sure your pet has companionship, consistency, and lots of love while you're gone.

About: I grew up around dogs and have dog & house sat for the past 15 years. I am also a registered nurse but still value the opportunity to take care of animals while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to know that you’re leaving your fur babies in good hands. I currently work as a nurse part time, so have plenty of time to watch and tend to your pups whether that’s overnight sitting, or popping in for walks! I live in a home with my husband where we have 2 medium sized, friendly dogs and a fenced in yard. I’m happy to separate our dogs if needed.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to care for them. I walked, play, and bathe them. I am currently working full-time but only 2 days out of the week out of the house for a few hours. I work from home most of the week. I make sure to give him quality time potty breaks and meals schedule of their parents request. Anything else is needed such as medication schedule and any other specifics requested by the parents.

About: Hi!! I am a huge dog lover. I have a 5 year old Pit Mix— Crush, Crusher, Crushie — who is my whole world. Since I shouldn’t get another dog right now, I love taking in other individuals’ pups pretending they are mine! I am always getting the dogs out and about whether it is on my runs or out hiking! I am more than willing to give updates on our adventures. My pup always enjoys having a friend(s)! I am more than happy to wash your pup upon request. I can also take them out swimming (weather permitting) if it is something your baby enjoys! I hope to get the chance of meeting you and taking care of your dog(s). Please reach out to me with any questions. Thanks!! I work remotely and travel frequently, so my schedule is extremely flexible, which makes it easy for me to focus on pet care throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m able to give them plenty of attention and maintain their routine. Just a quick note: for house sitting, I would need to bring my dog along. I hope that’s something you're comfortable with! He’s super friendly and gets along great with all dogs. Creating a safe, trustworthy, and calm environment is my top priority. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always make sure they have a clean, hazard-free space. I also keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Whether it's cuddles on the couch or quiet time alone, I aim to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at ease.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the depth of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for animals throughout my life. I currently have three dogs and two cats of my own, and I grew up in a home with three dogs, goats, chickens and a cat—so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra care. I’ve helped with crate training, potty training, medication administration, and supporting pets with anxiety or medical needs. I also understand the importance of keeping routines consistent to help pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, because that’s how I treat mine! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life, I have three dogs and two cats of my own, so my routine already includes early morning potty breaks, mealtime schedules, walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles. I’m used to being attentive to their moods, behaviors, and health needs, whether it’s giving medication, managing allergies, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Because animal care is already a part of my everyday routine, adding in pet sitting fits in easily. It doesn’t feel like a chore, it’s something I enjoy and am already set up to do with patience, flexibility, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs (feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any quirks or preferences) so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible while their family is away. I give lots of one-on-one attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting the pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether it’s daily walks, brushing, cleaning litter boxes, or administering medications, I’m thorough and dependable. I also keep the home tidy, follow instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in loving, capable hands.
