“Grace responded quickly to my request and was patient with me while I had a crazy day when my normal sitters were not available! She followed all the instructions perfectly after a quick phone call and I could tell my kitty was happy with how quiet he was when I got home! Truly appreciative of sitters like Grace who can make themselves available in times like this and would definitely use her again! Dusty would be happy to see you :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including training my own childhood dog. I have worked with labs, bouviers, golden retrievers, terriers, and more! I am working from home so I will have lots of time to spend with your pet. I would love an opportunity to spend the extra time I have with your pet! I am a very patient person & am used to working with all types of dogs. Also, am very organized so no worries with time management!

About: My experience in dog-sitting comes from taking care of my friends’ and family’s dogs. I absolutely love dogs, and the people around me know that, so it’s normal for my community to come to me asking for me to watch or walk their dogs while they are away and I always jump at the opportunity! I have been consistently helping my friends and family with their fur babies for about 3 years now. During the weekdays, I can watch or walk dogs after 5:30 PM. During weekends I am fairly free so I can watch or walk dogs any time! I provide loving, safe, and respectful care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood based on the boundaries and comfortability of you and your dog. I will love your dog like my own! Please let me know if your pet has any particular/special needs.

“Amy is the best! Great updates, loved the photos, and she took great care of my lil guy. He was more relaxed than usual after I come back from a long trip. Thanks again!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from growing up with cats and birds to caring for my shy rescue husky. I’m comfortable working with nervous dogs, senior pets, and administering medication when needed. My focus is always on creating a safe, relaxed environment where pets feel loved and care for. Pet care is women into my daily life. I plan my mornings and evenings around my husky’s walks, feeding and playtime. I’m organized and flexible, so I can reliably fit your pet’s care into my routine and make sure they feel happy and safe while you’re away. Pets feel most comfortable at home, so I focus on maintaining their usual schedule and environment. I carefully follow feeding times, walks, play and medication instructions, all while providing gentle care and plenty of affections to keep them calm and happy while you are away.
