About: With 6 years of caregiving experience, and a customer satisfaction rating of 4.9/5 stars, I pride myself on being knowledgeable, patient and reliable. I have worked with cats and dogs from birth to as old as 18 years. I love animals and it shows in my work. I am the person who goes the extra mile to make sure your pet is has the most compassionate and highest-quality experience, whether it’s a 30-minute walk or a week long, overnight stay. I have boarded, walked and cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments, administering medicine, reporting on behaviors, training, and more. I am responsible, cautious, detail oriented and I am sure that I would make a great fit as a caregiver for your furry friend! I work full-time but have an overall flexible schedule. My mornings are very flexible, allowing me to commit extra time and attention to pets. I do not work weekends or holidays so my schedule allows me the capacity for boarding and overnight stays during particularly busy times of then year for pet parents. I take pet care and safety very seriously. I am vigilant to avoid door dodgers, leash evaders and even the occasional fence hopper. My large, fenced in yard gives pets the autonomy and freedom to explore where I can keep a close eye on them from the outdoor patio or screened in porch. My own animals are crate trained and well socialized due to my many years of boarding experience in-home. I am well equipped to facilitate first introductions, and have the space to accommodate furry friends who may not be as eager or willing to socialize with my animals. Lastly, my SPCA volunteer training has taught me how to identify behaviors and make informed decisions when handling animals or entering their homes.

About: I'm often called Dr. Dolittle or the dog whisperer because the animals usually take to me very well. I've had a pet most of my life. I have always loved animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, I have also had birds and fish. I will treat you pet just like my own. I will surely treat your fur baby as you wish but I've known to spoil them a little. I no longer have dogs of my own, but I do keep my grand dogs on occasion. I'm very flexible when it comes to pet care. I do travel on occasions. I work my schedule round pet caring. I live alone and I do have grown children that visit and are very comfortable with dogs. I will care for your pet as my own. However, if you have special needs or instructions I will follow your request. I will also keep notes of behavior so you will know if you pet is happy, unhappy or doing something out of their usual behavior.

“Can't say enough about Bri and her care for our pups! This was her first housesiting with them and it went phenomenal! She was the best with updates and phots, she really ensures that she makes them comfortable. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with two happy pups of my own and years of experience caring for friends’ dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family. That’s exactly what I offer. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or grooming, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs and personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all shapes and sizes. Your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and snuggles while you’re away, plus regular updates to keep you in the loop! Let’s set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your furry friends! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! My day typically starts with walks and playtime with my own dogs, which keeps me energized and in the pet care mindset. I stay flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening feeding. I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and all weekend, so your pet will always get the care and attention they need, even when you’re busy. I love spending time with animals, and I’m excited to include your furry friend in my daily schedule! When pets stay with me, I ensure they feel right at home. I provide a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and explore. My home is pet-proofed to keep them safe, and I have a fenced backyard where we can enjoy playtime and outdoor activities. I stick to their regular routines, including meal times, walks, and play, to help them feel comfortable and secure.

I also give plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time, and I’ll send you regular updates so you know your pet is in loving hands.

About: With a lifelong love for dogs, I had the pleasure of caring for my Yorkshire Terrier since 2015. Despite his small size and lively personality, though he was not fond of other dogs he still remained incredibly lovable. Sadly, he passed away in 2019 due to heart issues. In addition to my experience, I have provided pet sitting services for my mentor's dog during the summer, and I walk one dog during the week. My dedication to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to me makes me an ideal choice as an reliable and compassionate dog walker. I'll make sure your dog is safe and loved (and maybe a little spoiled too) 💜 I can go from 12am-5pm (I'll let you know if there is any changes), I'm mostly available weekdays (depends on my schedule) Not available on weekends or Thursday unless said otherwise. I'll make sure the house is just as clean as your left it. Nothing that'll harm the dog if they get their paws on it. I can crate your dog if needed, I'm handy with a leash (pull leashes or regular ones) and I'll make sure that there's no altercations with other dogs.

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll.

Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

“Nicole is an awesome petter sitter! She has kept our Cali several times which includes over night for up to 7 days. She has been great with Cali. Her attention to Cali's needs are wonderful. she provides more than we were getting when boarding Cali for a trip. While away she send photo and videos which is an added bonus for us. Cali is a very picky pup and Nicole is able to get Cali to try new things alone with making sure she eats what we leave for her. She is very good at sending messages and updating us when Cali won't eat. The great thing is Nicole is always able to feed Cali healthy options when she won't eat what we send. I love this about her. Nicole is always our first choice and at this point to do not want to board Cali again. Wendie T.”


Sabrina V.Star Sitter
“Bre is a natural with dogs! (All animals, really). We often refer to her as “Mina DooLittle” (an ode to Dr. DooLittle) because of the way animals, especially dogs, flock to her. She is so gentle, loving, caring, and attentive to the fur-babies and takes them in as her own. She cares well for one, or many, at once and they all receive the same level of affection and attention. She ensures that they are fed, groomed, active, rested, and more. She even nurses them when they are experiencing health challenges. She will follow your requests, schedules, and instructions to the letter! You can rest assured that your baby is safe with her and will be well taken care of. She often keeps my Yorkie for days at a time and he never wants to leave. It’s almost as if he prefers to be with her rather than being at home, like a kid that never wants to leave grandma’s house! I highly recommend Bre (“The Doggie Doula”) and promise you’ll be satisfied with her services.”

From the very beginning, she made everything so easy and stress-free, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Throughout my trip, she provided regular updates, including pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease.
