About: I absolutely love dogs and love being able to go out and run around and play with them. My parents have 2 German Wire Haired Pointers who were full of energy and loved to go on hikes and just play around. I used to dog sit quiet often but stopped because my other job got too busy but now I am ready to start this up again. I am very patient and able to work with dogs and let their personalities out. My favorite thing to do is go to the beach and run with my dogs. I also take my little dog out for the occasional dog lunch :) I love to explore new places and always nice to have a little company with me

“She was great! We didn’t have time for a meet and greet since it was a last-minute booking, but she showed up on time, took my dog for a walk, fed him, and he seemed really happy. Will definitely book her again!”


“Bryce was once again great with our dogs! He sent multiple pictures and updates during the drop in visit. Our dogs are always well taken care of by Bryce :)”


About: I’m passionate about providing personalized care and attention to every pet I sit for, treating them as if they were my own. I have experience in training puppies, helping them adapt to new environments and develop good habits. I’m also comfortable with senior pets, ensuring they receive the extra care and patience they need. My attention to detail allows me to notice small changes in a pet’s behavior, ensuring their well-being at all times. In addition, I’m highly reliable and have a flexible schedule, so you can trust that your pets will always be in good hands! With a lot of time on my hands after class, I find myself really missing being around animals. There's something about the energy and joy they bring that I can't get enough of. I’m genuinely itching to spend time with pets again, whether it's taking them for a walk, playing, or just providing some company! I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, and having the extra free time means I can give them the attention they deserve. I’m ready to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to making sure they feel cared for, happy, and loved! As I live in an apartment and can’t bring pets to my home, I focus on providing exceptional care at my clients' homes. I make sure their pets are comfortable in their own environment, following any specific routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they might have. I treat their home and pets with the utmost respect, ensuring everything is clean and organized when I leave! Whether it’s a daily check-in or an extended stay, I’m committed to making pets feel safe and well-cared-for while keeping them happy and entertained!

“Very sweet person! I can see the love for animals she has, I knew my cat was in amazing hands. Highly recommend Avery for watching your pets and I’ll come back to her for future drop-in visits!”


About: I had a dog and cat all growing up. About six years ago I started watching other people’s pets in order to help out. Really enjoy knowing pets are being treated properly and really happy I have the opportunity to give them a safe place away from home! Taking the summer off of work to get focused on school and set myself up for success. Do you work part-time however have a lot of availability to care for your animal! I don’t have any other pets in my apartment yours would be the only one! Will be home, so we’ll be able to take out your animal for a nice little walk at appropriate parts of the day!

About: I have cared for my elderly dog for 8 years and I absolutely love all animals! I also have job experience caring for children, making me a responsible and trustworthy sitter. Over summer, I am mostly free all week. During school time (beginning the end of August), I will be available part-time around classes Monday-Thursday and will be free Friday- Sunday. I will make sure your pets remain safe and comfortable while you’re away. While sticking close to their routine, I will respect your space and keep everything tidy.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from large breeds like my childhood black lab, Duke, to smaller pups like Mimi, my spirited Scottish terrier in my teenage years. Growing up with dogs has given me a natural comfort and confidence in handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just giving them some attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I am currently a student with a pretty flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute help, I can usually accommodate. I make it a priority to be dependable and responsive so your pet always gets the attention they deserve. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I stick to your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and exercise. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some company, I’m there to keep them happy and safe. I’ll always send updates so you know how they’re doing.

“Desiree clearly cares very deeply for her clients. Layla adores her and I feel secure knowing Desiree has everything under control and Layla will be safe and happy in her care. Thank you so very much!”

Carmella L.
“Before Carmella left she used to babysit my 2 year old and 6 month old while Me and my wife are at work. She also dog sat for my family and I, when we went on vacation. She took, care of the house, and always cleaned up after our German Shepherd who of course as many people know, shead a lot. We would come home and there wouldn't be a single lose hair in plan eye sight. I believe Carmella is very trustworthy, she had a copy of my house key in case of emergencies. ”

Seth M.
“I can’t recommend Seth enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. From the moment he met my dog, Poppy, I could tell it was a great match. Poppy can be a little shy at first, but she warmed up right away — especially when Seth noticed her favorite stuffed elephant and made sure it was always nearby for naps and playtime. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight stays, Seth is dependable, kind, and always goes the extra mile. I get regular updates, photos, and even sweet notes about their time together. It’s such a comfort to know that Poppy is not just being looked after, but truly cared for and understood. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Seth is the one. Poppy and I are so lucky to have found them!”
