About: I have had pets my whole life, including dogs and horses. I currently own two dogs and one horse. I have trained 3 dogs, and I have also spent tons of time around cats even though I have never owned one. I have a passion for animals and making sure they are properly loved and cared for to ensure they get as much happiness in their lives as they give us, and I would love to give your pet that little extra bit of care that you are searching for! I am home from college for the summer, so I have a very free schedule to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! I am available pretty much 24/7. I do everything in my power to ensure pets are happy and comfortable, so whatever that may look like for your pet I am happy to accommodate, whether this means they need walked, played with, fed, crated, attention, medications, etc.. I have tons of experience with different pet needs and am happy to meet accommodations that make your pet happiest!
“Thea is the sweetest! I swear my cats look forward to having her come play and cuddle with them while I’m away on vacation! She takes such good care of them and sends the best check in photos ever. I feel lucky to have a pet sitter I can trust!”

“Dependable, great communication, and has been amazing working with my puppy who can be a bit shy and sassy. Both the older dog and puppy just love Kelly!”

“Rachel is fantastic and very flexible for my needs. Will definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommended. No problems at all efficient courteous, and an invaluable help with my crazy work schedule.”

“Words can’t describe how incredible Ashley is! She has only watched my cats once but I will never use anyone but her! She is so kind, compassionate, and considerate. My cats were so at ease with her and I was at ease knowing she was watching over them! Ashley is truly one of the sweetest and greatest people I have come across!”

“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

“Mariya was fantastic caring for my elderly dog! She was able to take my request on very short notice and took great care of him while I was away! Thank you!”

“Joey was polite, professional, and communicated well. He took care of both of my cats and provided valuable peace of mind while I was out of town. I would definitely book his services again.”

“Jerrica was a delight for drop in visits. She was able to step in and replace my previous sitter last minute and did an excellent job taking care of my cat. I actually think she’s a cat whisperer with how quickly she was able to make my cat comfortable and get her to play. She also looked out for my cat during a storm that knocked my power out by making sure she had multiple sources of clean water until the electricity came back on and her fountain could be used again. Was always on time and sent at least 5 photos with every visit and gave a brief summary each time, which helped this cat mama always have peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”

“Nichole was by far the best sitter my dogs have had in a long time. She was very detailed and took great care of both my babies. Will definitely be using her again!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Ericka! She is among the most caring, educated, and thorough sitters I know. Her ability to understand pet body language is remarkable — she notices even the most minor details and knows precisely what a pet needs to feel safe and happy. Ericka is incredibly consistent and reliable, and I’ve never once had to worry when she’s looking after my dog. She treats every animal as if they were her own, and her calm, attentive nature has made her the only person I fully trust to care for my pup. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable and compassionate, I can promise you that Ericka is the best.”

“Allie treats your pet like her own. Cute photos and little updates make you feel like you have a connection with them even if you’re on the other side of the planet. Look forward to the updates everyday I’m traveling.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I'm a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've regularly helped friends and family care for their dogs, whether that meant walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or simply providing companionship while they were away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable care. As a nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week. On the days I'm working, I'm generally unavailable for pet care. However, I have approximately four days each week completely free, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on my days off, and I'm especially happy to care for dogs during long weekends when my schedule allows. Because I know my work schedule in advance, I can communicate availability clearly and ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I'm with your pet, they will have my full attention, and I'll do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Pets staying in my home will be treated like part of the family. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and enrichment through multiple daily walks, outdoor time on leash, play sessions, and lots of attention throughout the day. My Golden Retriever, Olive, will also be present during stays. She is friendly, social, and loves having canine companions to play with. Of course, I always prioritize safety and will ensure that all introductions are done thoughtfully and that every dog is comfortable. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply relaxing in a home environment, I'll work to maintain their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home.
About: I grew up with Susie (dog) and Corky (cat). I have helped many friends and neighbors care for their pets while they are away and enjoy walking, especially with a purpose! During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available during the morning, midday, afternoon and evening for pets' varied needs and I love to walk. I take your pets' care seriously and am committed to making them feel comfortable and meeting their needs. Each pet has a distinct personality and varied needs.
“Lauren was terrific with my two cats. She helped us out on short notice, even doing a drop in visit on the day she was moving out of town. She communicated quickly and sent great photos and updates. Highly recommend!”

“Isabel is kind, smart, and a true animal lover. She took excellent care of my cat, who requires both force-feeding and oral medication. She was always punctual, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and consistently went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I have had 3 dogs over my lifetime and raised my latest one during the pandemic, training him when I was home from college taking online classes. I am searching for a way to fill the void I feel being away from my dogs at home as I begin my new job. I can easily take your dog out and am not afraid of putting collars on. I know how to calm anxious dogs down as well.
