I have a lot of experience with animals and I really enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I regularly donate to various shelters by holding bake sales yearly. I try to get involved in any way I can to help. I just graduated with my masters degree and plan to continue my academic career in veterinary medicine in the future. I love what I do and will take great care of your pet! I currently do not have a job so my schedule is open! I am available any hour of the day. Please contact me for more information. I prefer to go to the clients home. Please contact me for more information and I will be happy to answer any questions you have!
“Brea was a great dogsitter. We requested on relatively short notice and she was very responsive. She was communicative during the stay so we knew our dog was being well taken care of. We would be happy to book Brea again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve pet sat for more than 20 years and love getting to spend time with fur babies I work full time (8:30-5) and would be able to stop by over lunch to do a potty break. After work we play and cuddle! I make sure the pets are contained safely, per the owners instructions. I’m familiar with in ground fences, shock collars, and leash walking. I’m comfortable crating if that’s what the dogs are used to.
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with Porter. She sent updates and pictures every day, and our little buddy was clearly very happy when we got home! We'll definitely have her again in the future. :-)”
About: I have 20+ years of experience with caring for pets. I do my job and do it correctly, I take safety of animals very strictly, so they will be safe at all times. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I need to make cash to provide for my family, also I have time on my hands to help people who need care for their pets. I provide care in your home by feeding your pets with their correct food and having a play pal, also when they need to be walked I happen to be able to do that so they get their daily walks and potty time in. I’m currently a stay at home girlfriend who takes care of the house, so I have plenty of time on my hands to help your dogs or cats have a great day! I care for your pets in you home with the up most love and respect they deserve, I will give them pets, play with them, walk them so they have outdoor time.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.
“Sarah is one of the best sitters I’ve ever found. So grateful to her! I came home to a very happy pup, and a clean home. She sent lots of pics and updates. I hope to book with her again.”
“Leigh was amazing with our sweet Golden as well as looking after our old farmstead while enjoyed a week away. She took care of everything and communicated daily with photos. She even handled the Hurricane impacts on the house with care. We were so pleased with all She did for us. Our pup was well cared for and clean upon our return. Highly recommend her services.”
About: Dogs are such wonderful animals! I will take good care of your pup and be sure to spoil it with toys and walks. I know how hard it is leaving your pet while you are away, and will share pictures of your pet every day with you. I am self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, and I often work from home. Also, I'm pretty sure my two teenage kids would be involved with spoiling your pet as well. Luckily, I have a two-story duplex, so if there is a problem between my pets and yours, there is plenty of safe place. Also, I live near a park with lots of space to run.
“Sarah did such a great job with our dog, Penny! Sarah was extremely responsive prior to and during our trip, asking lots of good questions to make sure she was prepared. She sent us great photos every day we were gone and gave us updates on how Penny was doing in our absence. Sarah also stayed at our house while we were gone and took great care of it, even getting our mail and taking the trash out for pick up. I would definitely recommend Sarah and I hope we can hire her again on our next trip!”
“Christa did such a great job taking care of our dog and home. I was always updated while we were away with anecdotes and pictures. That is so appreciated. Our communication was great. Thank you, Christa.”

Christa was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She came over to meet them and get to know their routine before we left, and was super patient with our older grumpier dog. Then she sent multiple updates with photos while we were gone. She was also an amazing house sitter - the place was tidier when we got home than when we left! The dogs had a wonderful time with her and we will definitely have Christa stay with them in the future!
Rachel is the very best! She took wonderful care of Bentley while we were away for our son's wedding. We didn't have a worry in the world knowing Bentley was in her hands Rachel gave us frequent updates with photos and was quick to respond when we reached out to check on him. We will certainly be calling Rachel again in the future. She is wonderful!
Sam was the best. Kept me updated and most importantly gave me peace of mind. Last minute problem with the plane connection and she stepped right in to help with the boys since I wasn't going to get home. She's responsible, kind and reliable. What more can you ask for? Highly recommend
Bailee took extremely good care of my french bulldog Tank. Not only was she very accommodating and checked in frequently, she also was able to respond and watch him within a days notice. Bonus points for taking him on a long walk and to see my fraternity brothers… Definitely recommend, and will use again.
