“Bradley walked our dog and she was much less high energy when I got home from work! It was much needed. Also I’m pretty sure he brought our trash cans in from the curb!!”


“Thank you for being the best dog walker! Louie and Archie love having you visit and it’s a huge relief knowing that they are in good hands!”


“Rigby loves Mandy! She is reliable and I trust her coming into our home and taking such good care of our dog. She has gone above and beyond and we highly recommend her.”


“Heavyn was absolutely amazing and super communicative. She provides in depth report cards, arrived on time, and made sure to ask questions when needed. I would highly book Heavyn! My dog loved her and cannot wait to see her again :)”


About: I've always loved animals, ever since my childhood. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My experience with cats even includes giving medicine, which can be a challenging task for most. I have extremely open availability to care for pets, as I am currently between jobs. I've decided to take some time away from my corporate path and enjoy simpler things that bring me joy. Animals are one of those things! I pay careful attention to every animal in order to notice their unique needs. All pets have different personalities and I make sure to interact with each pet in a way that works best for them.

About: I am an animal lover through and through, and started dog sitting at 15! I have been a reliable and caring pet sitter for friends and family members for many years. A few activities I love are playing fetch, going on walks and of course, snuggling! I’m experienced in giving medication to dogs and caring for senior pets. I have two cats of my own to snuggle, and two dogs at my parents house I often visit! I am currently working part time and would love to fill my schedule with dog walks or pet sitting during the summer! I enjoy living an active lifestyle as I go on hikes and bike rides during my free time. I have two cats at my own home so would not be able to take in animals. I look forward to being able to care for pets in their own home.

“My ACD loves Angel. Great communication, easy to work with. Would recommend!”


“The best!”


“Lucy loves Michelle! Michelle is professional, and treats Lucy with great care and compassion. She loves our dog as if she were her own. I know I can trust any of my pets with Michelle. She has so much great experience and she really knows how to care for animals. ❤️ She’s the best walker/sitter we’ve ever had!”


About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.

About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“we just met Brooke a few weeks ago - but already my Molly loves her! she has made it out for walks even through these snow storms - i am so grateful to find someone to help me with keeping Molly active since i can't do it anymore”


“Yolena is very thorough and reliable! She always takes great care of my dog.”


About: My latest dog, a very timid shy dog has taught me a lot! I now have more knowledge about canine behavior in particular, but I have had cats my whole life. I am a great observer of body language and recently gone through training with my own dog ( positive reinforcement based with treats), so that is fresh in my mind. I now have a senior cat who I have to care for with asthma and beginning kidney failure and saw my last dog through his senior years. I am happy to play if that is something your animal needs or we can go on walks. I will also just patiently wait for your dog or cat to trust me if they are slow to warm up! I'm at home with my own dog that I care for with activities. I'm hoping to make this a decent gig for myself so I have a very open schedule to work with! I'm here to do whatever you would like me to whether that's walk, play with, or just spend time with and feed your pet. I will only do what everyone is comfortable with. Let me know what a regular day looks like so I can do my best to mimic that routine for your pet!

About: I grew up with two dogs in the home and helped raise them from puppies! I now have my own cat, George who I rescued a year ago and could not live without. I have a general love for all animals and have also helped out many friends with their pets when they’ve needed it. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of availability to spend time with and walk your pets. I currently only work evenings, and I have plenty of weekday and weekend availability! I know that our fur babies are our best friends. I would treat your pets like my own! I am good at following specific instructions, and I have had pets of all personalities over the years.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have usually been the one to take care of them. I also have experience watching the neighbors dogs and taking them for walks, feeding them, and any other care they need. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the dogs! I can care for them on weekends and weekdays! If I am at work, my family will usually be home to let them out, feed them, etc. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly miniature golden retriever (~70lbs) to keep your dog company! I can also crate your dog if needed and give it its own space for feeding, relaxing, or etc.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you can since I was little. I worked at a kennel for two years and during my time there I trained(including my own service dog!), walked dogs, played with all sorts of animals, bathed and grooms all breeds of dogs. My favorite breeds are the large dogs! I hope to meet you & your furbaby soon! I work full time night shift sunday-wednesday so morning and night time walks are always perfect. During my off days I would be available 24/7. I don’t offer in-home services so it would depend on the client but on walks and outdoor playing I would make sure that all harness/leash/collars are on correctly and that all gates are locked/shut properly.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and experience with pets of all ages and needs—including administering medication and caring for senior animals. As a full-time military member, I’m disciplined, trustworthy, and great at following routines, which pets really respond to. I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. I pay close attention to their personalities and body language so I can make them feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic puppy, or a dog that needs meds at a certain hour, I take pride in getting it right. As a full-time military member, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan pet care in advance. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for evening drop-ins or walks during the week after 4:30 p.m. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog or cat to feel at home. While I don’t have a yard, I take pets on regular walks and give them lots of indoor playtime and attention. I’m comfortable with crates, giving medications, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and cared for.

Autumn P.
“Autumn was an exceptionally devoted and attentive caregiver to your two cats, going above and beyond to ensure their well-being, comfort, and happiness every single day. From the moment she took on the responsibility, she treated them with the same love and care as if they were her own, always making sure they had fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of playtime. She paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs—whether that meant giving extra cuddles to the more affectionate one or patiently engaging the more reserved cat with gentle toys and quiet companionship. Her ability to notice subtle changes in their behavior or health showed a deep understanding of animal care, and she never hesitated to communicate updates or concerns with you, ensuring peace of mind even when you were away. Autumn’s genuine affection for your cats was clear in everything she did, from keeping their routine consistent to offering them comfort during stressful times like vet visits or thunderstorms. Her presence became a source of stability and joy for them, and it’s clear that her care made a lasting, positive impact on their lives.”

“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own.
