Chelsea is amazing! My husky Maddy just loves her and my dog is usually a little timid and shy. I rely on Chelsea many times when I'm in a bind and she's always willing to help me out. Thank you so much!

About: Lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry best friend’s in good hands. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and love giving them a safe, happy space because they deserve the best! 💕🐕 I just recently graduated so I have a completely open availability for walks, check ins, or to just keep your pets some company while you’re away! I’m currently available mon-thurs at any time! For Fridays-Sundays I’m available anytime before 4pm, as I usually have work after 5 on weekends, I’m looking forward to filling my free time keeping company to your animals! I always treat pets (and their homes!) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors are locked, routines are followed, and your furry friend stays safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

Nathan took extra care with our very senior pup (14+, fragile condition) and they got along well during his overnight stay at our home. He’s very conscientious, read our instructions in advance and asked good questions to learn more or get clarity. We came home to a calm pup and tidy home. We hope we have Coco long enough to have Nathan sit with her again!

About: Although I don't have a dog of my own, pets have always been a part of my life! My childhood best friend has two golden retrievers, so growing up we spent countless hours taking them out for playtime and keeping them occupied. My sister adopted an adorable golden doodle two summers ago, and our house is like his second home because of how often he loves to visit. Any of my friends can count on me asking "Where's the dog?" whenever I come over, because I just gravitate to having a furry friend by my side! I specialize in discovering all of your pets' silly quirks that make them unique and working with them from there. I also specialize in working with hyper-active pets, being able to expend their energy in a healthy way and calm them down. I adapt well between large and small animals, handling them each with the proper care/delicacy they need. I have a lot of free time to fill this summer, so my general availability will always be open. I am mainly open to Doggy Day Care, House Sitting, and Dog Walking, but am also interested in Boarding! My daily availability is the most open in the mornings and afternoons, so if you leave home early for a job or a trip I'll be right here to step in. Weekends are also free to Board! I have a large yard with plenty of room for your dog to get out their zoomies! There are also two parks in walking distance from my house, so I have plenty of access to the outdoors. My sister has a mini golden doodle who visits all the time, so I can always set up play dates to give your pet a furry friend. I can administer any medication your dog has need of if I have instructions, and will send as many updates as needed so you know they're in good hands! Relaxation time is always great to have, but I will make sure your pet has a good variation of activities so they are never bored. If I am aware of any triggers your pets has, I will provide a safe environment, whether in your home or mine, so I can always keep them stress-free.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat 3 different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. Once I graduate from college and finish my summer classes in September, my schedule will be completely open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.

Audrey is very friendly and an excellent communicator. She confirmed all appointments we set prior to the pet sitting dates and sent daily messages when we were away. She also sent pictures knowing we enjoy seeing the pups even when we’re gone. Audrey left the house very clean including running laundry and the dishwasher upon her departure. I hope to use Audrey’s services many times again in the future!

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

Kayla was wonderful! I knew the moment she met Zaydan she was good people. He loved her immediately. I was so nervous leaving him for 2 weeks and going out of the country. Kayla was in contact everyday and sending me updates and pictures. I got home 2 days ago and my boy misses her! Looking out the door, waiting to see her again. If that’s not a sign of a fantastic pet sitter, I don’t know what is. Thank you Kayla!! We can’t wait to see you again.
