“Kristine was so respectful of our home and kept it as clean as I left it for her when we had her house sit and keep my dog company. She gave me photo updates as frequently as I had asked. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. I will happily book her again the next time we need a pet sitter.”

“Kimberly absolutely exceeded our expectations. I had arranged for a sitter and the morning of she never answered my messages or calls, leaving us with no one to care for our pup and a flight to catch. Kimberly quickly responded to my request and was so kind and accommodating. She treated our furbaby like her very own and sent pictures for updates. She asked questions about our pup and his routine which gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in caring hands. He was definitely spoiled by her. 110% satisfied snd won’t hesitate to book her again next time we need a sitter.”

“This was my second booking with Jose with this one being quite a bit longer at 6 nights. He did a wonderful job taking care of Riley and my place. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”

About: I’ve worked in the animal care field for over 5 years, so I’ve seen it all — from tiny puppies full of energy to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable giving oral medications, following special routines, and making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I stay active (great for those high-energy pups!), and I always pay attention to the little things — whether it’s making sure the water bowl is full or noticing if your pet seems a bit off. Most of all, I truly care. Your pet isn’t just another job to me — they’re family, and I treat them like it. Currently working part time, meaning I have extra free time for furry friends in need of extra love. If your little ones needs a quick potty break, play time, or walks I’m free; if the little ones need some extra company I’m there to help. I am working weekends currently so I am available most weekdays. I am able to take the little ones out for long walks, provide good company, get out their energy, and make sure they are loved and cared for every moment while you are away.

“She is awesome! Super nice, sends many puppy pics, and gives updates! Also, she is patient and accommodating! Will 100% book her again! 🫶🏼”

“We love Angellee! She is a blessing to us and our dear boxers. She provides professional, caring, responsible care every time. We love her flexibility too. We look forward to her next visit! Thank you!”

“Douglas has been excellent in calming this puppy mom! I have a busy schedule, and he has been flexible, and open to discussing short notice requests. My puppy doesn’t get as nervous in his crate when I tell him “uncle Doug” is coming for a visit :). He has excellent communication skills, and provides updates while my boy is in Douglas’s care.”

“Casey was awesome! Great communication skills and our dogs were very happy! Thanks for the pics! We will definitely hire Casey again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for around 5 years, providing dependable help to neighbors and friends. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s daily care or just keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after! I currently work part-time, but remotely, which means I am available any time, any day to give your pets the full attention they truly deserve! I only offer pet care in my client’s home, where your pets feel most comfortable and secure in their own space. I always follow your instructions carefully and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help reduce stress while you’re away. I make sure your home stays clean, your pets are safe, and their needs are met with love and attention. You can also expect regular check-ins and photo updates for peace of mind!

About: I am detail-oriented and will quickly pick up any differences in your pet's behavior over time. I have two (now senior) pet bunnies so I've learned how to pick up on subtle cues for pain or discomfort, even in animals who try to hide it. I'm great with shy and senior pets. BUT I also have the energy for dogs who love long walks or going on runs! I only work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility for scheduling! I am currently available Mon, Tues, Fri, Sat, and Sun anytime. Wednesdays and Thursdays I am busy in the afternoons and evenings. I cannot personally offer dogsitting within my own apartment, but I am available for drop-ins for those who would like to book potty breaks, feeding, walks, and/or playtime for when you are out of the house for several hours or in semi-emergencies.

“Gone for 4 nights and she did a fabulous job. Walks and cuddles, my dog was in love!”

“Randi was excellent—flexible with our needs and so respectful and responsive with our little guy while we were away. I hope to be able to book her again! Thank you Randi!!”

About: I own a neapolitan mastiff, Dachshund, and two cats so I know how to take care of and deal with all different sizes and shapes of dogs and cats. I’ve also owned many different types of fish and reptiles and cared for them so I would be open to any kind of sitting/walking or caring you might need. I’m currently in school but I’m available a majority of the time every day. Please contact me for information about booking or to check availability. I treat all dogs with kindness and like they are my own. Maintaining safety is one of my top priorities along with making sure that my care is as good as I can make it. Their are many good pet sitters out there but I try to give your animal what they need with flexibility and security in you knowing that your pets are safe.

About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

About: I have always loved animals above everything else and was lucky enough to experience having pets from age 6. I started out by taking care of rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, cats, dogs, etc. I've read many books, researched, and learned from the most experienced about how to train and care for different types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I have around 11 years of experience with cats and dogs, from the moment they were born to their senior years. Currently, I have two dogs, A 6-year-old husky named Leo (the one in my profile picture) and a 9-year-old labrador mix named Eva. I have trained and cared for both of them fully myself. I have also done volunteer work in shelters and have taken care of many other pets for my friends and family. I currently have a flexible part-time job that gives me a lot of free time to spend doing what I love most, being with animals! First, I always ask my clients if they have specific instructions or routines that they would like me to follow, whether it's in my house or theirs. I make sure that I know and do exactly as the clients ask to make sure the experience is easy and comfortable, for both the client and their lovely pet. I have two dogs of my own to welcome and accompany their pet in my house, I am also able to have them in separate spaces if the client prefers. I have many toys and treats in my house to keep them occupied and happy, and most importantly my unwavering love and attention! I also have a fenced yard in which they can run and play freely and there is also a couch specially arranged for them to rest and enjoy.

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs for the better part of 10 years. In that time I’ve trained one as a service dog, walked, fed, bathed and cuddled them 1000 times. I’ve also babysat a blind and def 16 year old dog including feeding and walking her. I’ve also lived with cats, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits all while having dogs and know how to balance small animals with all types of dogs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life. I start each morning by walking my dog and feeding my two guinea pigs. Then it’s off to work, but I always make time during breaks or after work for another walk and to let the piggies free roam and explore safely. I spend a lot of my downtime hanging out with my pets—cuddling, relaxing, and just enjoying their company. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that naturally fits into my routine. I’m used to being attentive, consistent, and making space in my day for the little things that help pets feel safe and happy. I follow any routines and instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk times, or favorite toys. I give pets space to settle in, especially if they’re shy or new to me, and then offer attention, play, and calm companionship once they’re ready. I’m always keeping an eye on behavior and body language to make sure they’re doing okay. For in-home visits, I respect the client’s space, clean up after myself (and the pets), and make sure everything’s locked up and secure before I leave. In my own home, pets are supervised and have access to safe spaces, and I keep my dog and guinea pigs separated from guest pets unless everyone is comfortable and it’s okay with the owner. My goal is to make each pet feel like they’re right where they belong.

“Thank you for taking care of my dogs. It’s comforting to know that someone will take care of them just the same as I would. Will rebook again.”
