About: I grew up helping train and care for dogs for the past 15 years! Having a positive attitude and good energy for all animals alike! My schedule is pretty much open weekly now so there is time to play and care and be there for the clients dogs and puppies! Have a home with a big backyard, fenced and secure for my own and all clients fur babies, crates are available if needed as well!
“Rachel was amazing once again. Our boys were so well taken care of while we were gone. They love all the play time and extra treats when she visits. We look forward to having her visit again.”
“Leah is amazing! She’s been doing occasional drop-in visits for our pups over the past few months, and we are so grateful for her. Her communication is excellent, and she always leaves thoughtful notes and the best photos, which we truly appreciate. Our dogs clearly love her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. Thank you, Leah!”
“Did an incredible job looking after my 2 cats for a week! Sent tons of photos and was really communicative when anything changed or any help or directions were needed. One of my cats was elderly and had a pretty particular routine/feeding schedule and she took care of him well :) Thank you so, so much!”
“Amy was incredibly sweet and took great care of my cat. My cat ran right up to Amy when they first met and immediately loved her. She followed all the instructions perfectly!”
About: I can teach dogs proper walking skills, I’m patient, can teach to heal, sitting, laying down, turn around, shake, wait, come, social skills and I love dogs! I am walking dogs/ drop ins 7 days a week! looking to make money these days doing dog walking and training around my area as I think this would be a great fit. I do supervised playtime both indoor and outdoors, making sure they have water, food, toys, chewing items and positive reinforcement although I have experience training reactive/aggressive dogs.
“Chrystina went above and beyond for my cats! I felt like I had kind of a lot of instructions, but she followed them completely to the letter. In addition, she did some extra stuff like sweeping up and she even fixed a scratching post. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Cassandra was great with our two boys! They felt very comfortable with her from the start. She sent lots of updates and photos and we came home to two happy dogs. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, animal-loving sitter with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs at home, so daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and lots of love are already a big part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Because I have hands-on experience with my own dogs, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup needs long walks, extra playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I also live with my boyfriend, so there are always two attentive and caring people in the home. That means your dog will never be left without supervision or care, even if one of us steps out, the other is there to make sure everything runs smoothly. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like part of the family and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away!
About: I am a very active person who enjoys power walking, jogging, hiking, and helping energetic dogs burn off some energy! I also have experience with slower senior dogs and am happy to follow their lead and enjoy smelling the flowers. I’ve owned several dogs myself and have cared for dogs for family, neighbors, and partners over the years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, building trust with them, and creating a fun, structured environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I work a standard 9–5 schedule during the week, but I’m available for evening walks from 5:30–9:30pm. On weekends, I have a much more flexible schedule and can offer longer walks, multiple drop-ins throughout the day, or overnight care depending on your dog’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, comfortable, and stress free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any household preferences the owner provides. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. I treat every home respectfully by keeping things clean, secure, and organized. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and energy level, whether that means active play and long walks or a slower, more relaxed pace.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As of 2026, I recently lost my dog Lily, and about a year and a half ago I lost Hayzel, who was my soul dog. Hayzel was 11 and Lily was 13, both pitbulls that I trained myself. They were truly the best dogs I could have ever asked for. I’ve also worked professionally in pet sitting, dog walking, and dog training for several years. Hayzel and Lily actually assisted me in working with other dogs, especially those with anxiety, which gave me a deep understanding of behavior, energy, and trust. I’ve been in the holistic health field for over 20 years, and that naturally extended into working with animals alongside humans. I now work in nervous system integration, photography, and coaching, and I bring that same grounded, calm presence into how I care for dogs. I work especially well with large breeds, but I’m always happy to spend time with smaller dogs as well. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to help a loose dog find its owner—I actually did that today as I’m writing this. I live a quiet, clean, minimalist, and sober lifestyle. While I’ve spent a lot of time alone in recent years, my dogs were my constant companions for over 13 years. After losing Lily, I realized just how special that connection is. I’m not quite ready for my next dog yet, but being around them still feels deeply important to me. I care for every dog with attention, presence, and respect for who they are, not just what they need. The pictures I included are images throughout the years with my dogs. It was a bit hard to go through them, but oh am I happy that I found them. My main role at this time is photography and I set my own schedule. I tend to only work 4 hours a day and when my shoots might extend longer on certain days, I am easily able to fit in visits for those pets that need outdoor time a little quicker than others. I care for pets by paying close attention to their individual needs, routine, and energy. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as consistent and familiar as possible so your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely, while also making sure they’re getting real attention and presence, not just a quick check-in. I bring a calm, grounded energy and take the time to build trust, especially with dogs who may have anxiety or need a slower approach. I’ve worked with a wide range of temperaments, including high-energy and more sensitive dogs, and I adjust my care based on what each dog responds to best. If they’re playful, I’m all in!! I will absolutely play like a kid with them and let them get it out. If they’re cuddlers, they’re going to get a level of cuddling that might rival what they’re used to 😅 I genuinely enjoy being with them and meeting them exactly where they are. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ve been on that side of it, and I’m very mindful because of it. I’m conscious of where and how I eat so nothing is left out for them to get into, I make sure doors are always secure, and I keep a constant awareness of their safety and environment. I’m very respectful of your home and space. I keep things clean, communicate clearly, and will send updates so you know how your dog is doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for while you’re away. If I’m doing drop-ins or walks, I make sure your dog gets quality interaction, not just the basics. Whether that’s playtime, a relaxed walk, or simply being present with them.
“This was my first time booking Rebecca, after my regular sitter moved away. Everything seems to have gone well, kitty seems happy and well fed and that makes ME happy 😊 Thank you so very much for sitting for my invisible cat 😂”
“Sydney did a great job. She was willing to drop in for my dogs with short notice. She was flexible and kind, and our dogs loved her. She shared pictures with both drop ins, and the dogs were visibly happy and healthy. Thanks so much!”
About: I've had all kinds of pets my whole life, cats, dogs, rodents of all shapes and sizes! Picky eater? No problem! Frequent walks? I got you! Senior with meds? I can be sneaky! Is your baby clingy? So is mine! No matter the pet, I do my darndest to make them as feel as loved as I can while they're missing their parents!! I graduated in May 2025, and have been Unemployed this whole time, so I have all the time in the world for your babies, weekends are a little harder, and I'll need more time in advance to plan, but I can do it!! I sadly can't bring animals into my home (reactive cat), but I will gladly take care of your animals in their space in your home, whether that means an overnight stay while you're out of town, or a check in every few hours!!

Elisha saved my butt! I had an emergency pop up and couldn’t find anyone to check in on my puppy. She took my last minute booking and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care off. She asked plenty of questions about his care, stayed in constant communication throughout the visit, and sent me pictures and videos for peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop in visit
Taylor was amazing! She made sure our dogs got plenty of attention and was able to work us in around her work schedule. Both our dogs warmed up to her as soon as they met her and seemed like happy pups all weekend while we were away. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter to come to your house and would use her again!
Rachel was amazing helping with Minni! She was super professional, responsive, and clearly cared about doing a great job. Everything went smoothly, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Minni in her care. We really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Bailey is fantastic! She came over for a drop-in visit and my dog took to her immediately—he loved her from the second she walked in the door. She was perfectly on time and super professional. It’s such a relief to find someone reliable who my dog is genuinely excited to see. I’ll definitely be booking again
Alexandra was amazing with our dog! She came by 2-3X a day for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was always on time, communicative, great with updates and photos. I never had a concern with our pup while we were away, as I knew she was in good hands. We will gladly book with Lexie again and highly recommend her!
Alyssa watched our pups while we were away over the holidays, with walks and drop in visits. She also fed our fish. She was very flexible when we had to change plans a few times. She made sure our dog got his daily meds and even cleaned up a poo accident inside the house. Our dog is not easy, so it was a great relief to have someone we could trust take great care of him. She even shared some homemade dog treats! Would highly recommend Alyssa to others.
