“Nathan was wonderful when coming to our home to care for our cat and dog while we were away. He was communicative and kind, and even vacuumed our place before we got back 😭 would recommend!”


About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I’ve raised all from puppies! I’ve had a lot of experience with pet sitting from small to larger breeds! I currently work at a dog boarding place so I have lots of experience. Im currently working a part time job and my hours differ week to week. Some days it’s 7 am- 12:00 pm and other days it’ll be from 9 am - 4:30 pm! I have 3 fur babies at home so I’m mostly looking for pet sitting at clients homes! Just more of a safety thing for all the pups!

“Mary Alice took wonderful care of my fur baby. She asked good questions and met my pup prior to the first visit to make sure that she was completely prepared. She was generous with her time and attention, and gave frequent updates so I knew that my pet was doing well. I highly recommend Mary Alice!”


“dayton took such great care of our two kittens! she was very accommodating with booking changes, initiated a meet and greet, was communicative and left thoughtful updates with pictures. we would definitely book her again in the future :)”


“Amanda and her partner, Jonathan, were great. They are reliable. They were flexible when we had a few changes and even agreed to an additional visit which we didn’t end up needed. They responded immediately to texts. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.”


“Leaving our animals is always the most stressful part of a vacation, but we felt at ease knowing that Jocelyn was taking card of everything. She sent lots of photos and updates, responds quickly to any messages, and is always willing to help with anything that comes up. She is awesome!!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my home. I took vet medicine in high school and went through dog and cat CPR training in that class. I’ve had golden retrievers, many German Shepherds, Dobermans, and my current baby is a senior Beagle. I’ve cared for my dogs from puppies to seniors. I work full time usually from 8-4 during the weekday. However, with a flexible schedule, I can come home mid day if needed. My weekends fill up fast, but my plans are always revolving around the dogs. I have a very large yard, with no fence. My beagle is trained on an invisible fence, but I have a frequent visitor that stays on a leash. My yard offers great walks and water access to dogs that love to swim. I also have a lead by the door for when they want to sun bathe. My beagle, and my frequent visitor, both LOVE other dogs and prefer to have the company of another dog in the home. My beagle ignores his friends when they try to play. He prefers to enjoy the company of his friends instead of playing. My frequent visitor dog is also very low key, but LOVES to play.

About: I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds—from cats and dogs to birds, bunnies, and even livestock. I grew up working alongside an equine veterinarian and have spent years collaborating closely with small animal vets, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs meds, special care, or just a little extra love, I specialize in supporting animals with medical needs and take pride in being calm, compassionate, and highly attentive. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a lifelong animal caregiver who treats every pet like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it's midday walks, medication schedules, or just extra snuggles, I’m consistently present and available to keep your pets happy and stress-free. My routine is built around their needs—because their comfort and well-being come first. 🐾 In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. My own friendly dogs are always happy to welcome new furry friends, but if your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I can provide a quiet, relaxed space just for them. I tailor the experience to match each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they love to socialize or just want a calm companion.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life, I love all animals and have always rescued/helped those in need no matter the animal. I have a full time job but I still have some spare time, looking to help out a family that needs help or would like to take a relaxing vacation! I can do drop in visits, I can stay to take care of the animals in their home if that is something they are more comfortable with, can take the animal for a walk, etc.

“Lanyha was nice enough to come meet our dogs before our first drop in visit to make sure we (the owners) were comfortable since we have a large dog. She did great with both of them. Will definitely book with her again. Thanks!”


“Alyssa was awesome! Very communicative the entire time and took great care of our crazy dogs! Our dogs have recently decided they don’t get along and therefore can’t be together and she was understanding and able to work with our complicated setup to keep them separate for now. I highly recommend Alyssa and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Emily H.
“Ever since I've known Emily, it's like she's got this magical animal-attracting force field. Seriously, I'm convinced she's the real-life Snow White. I’ve seen Emily rescue a plethora of animals in the time that I’ve known her. But here's the thing: it's not just that animals find her; it's what she does with them. Emily doesn't just take them in; she cares for them with this insane level of dedication and love. If Emily can handle a small zoo of rescued animals, she can definitely handle your fur babies!”
