Emily loves my dog as if he were my own. I see their connection when they’re together. She takes them for walks and gives him approved treats for interaction. She even provides treat puzzles!

Tara is wonderful! She has been weekly walking our giant goof of a dog, Jolene, for almost an entire year. Tara provides great updates, photos and always gives Jolene extra belly rubs.

Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!

Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.

Maggie is the best person to care for your animals! She is dependable, flexible, and so good with them- I love that she spent dogsitting time playing “beauty shop” to groom my girls up a little. Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet caretaker 😊😊

Jen is not only the best, most reliable dog walker we have ever used, but also the most trustworthy person we've ever employed to do any kind of work in our household. It helps immensely that she is both energetic and calming. Our rambunctious big boy retriever is always super mellow after each outing with Jen. I wish we'd known of her several dogs ago!

About: I grew up on a farm and always had animals! As a current pet owner, I know how important it is to be able to trust someone with your pet. I guarantee your animal will always be safe, cared for, and loved. Starting in May, I will be on summer break so I will be able to assist you and your four legged friends around the clock. I am available for check ins and walks at any time of the day. Due to restrictions on my lease, I cannot host at this time.

About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.

About: There is nothing in the world like a dog. I absolutely love them all. Four legged monsters looking for a good time and I love it. I am a tennis pro and I usually travel for work so when I’m home, I’m free to watch the dogs almost all the time. Being a tennis pro, I keep some tennis balls within arms reach. Outside of the fun stuff though, I’m practically always available and what better way to use that time than to play with dogs. At my home it is fenced in so my dogs have a place to run around. With the clients home, I can make it fun and safe within the parameters that they set like I’ve done in my home.

About: Hi! I’m Raven, a reliable, caring pet sitter who treats every dog and cat like family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously every single visit. In my care, your pet will receive: 🐾 Personalized attention based on their personality and routine 🐾 Safe, supervised playtime and regular potty breaks (for dogs) 🐾 Calm, stress-free care for cats with respect for their space 🐾 Walks, enrichment, and gentle interaction 🐾 Plenty of love, comfort, and rest time 🐾 Frequent photo and message updates for peace of mind I maintain a clean, comfortable, and pet-safe environment where animals can relax and feel at home. Whether your dog loves to play and explore or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and committed to providing dependable, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member and become your trusted sitter! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in between other commitments. I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure each dog receives consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. On a typical day, dogs in my care receive: 🐾 Regular potty breaks and outdoor time 🐾 Morning and evening walks (as needed) 🐾 Supervised playtime and enrichment 🐾 Feeding based on their normal routine 🐾 Quiet rest time and comfort breaks 🐾 One-on-one attention throughout the day I plan my days to be flexible so I can adjust to each dog’s needs, whether that means extra walks, medication schedules, senior care, or additional cuddle time. I keep my calendar updated and limit the number of pets I take at one time so every dog receives safe, reliable, and personalized care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I follow consistent routines and safety practices to ensure a secure, stress-free experience. In my home, I provide: 🐾 A clean, pet-safe environment with secure doors and gates 🐾 Supervised indoor and outdoor time 🐾 Separate spaces when needed for comfort or feeding 🐾 Regular sanitation of bowls, bedding, and play areas 🐾 Careful monitoring of behavior, appetite, and health In clients’ homes, I: 🐾 Follow all instructions and routines exactly as provided 🐾 Respect your home and privacy 🐾 Double-check doors, gates, and locks 🐾 Keep detailed visit notes and updates For all services, I: 🐾 Use leashes and safety equipment properly 🐾 Never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations 🐾 Administer medications as directed 🐾 Watch closely for signs of stress or illness 🐾 Communicate immediately if any concerns arise Building trust with both pets and their owners is extremely important to me. I treat every home and every animal with the same care and respect I would expect for my own family.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave
