About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.

Shane was AMAZING!!! If you’re looking for the best, you have found it! Shane took care of our special needs senior dog, Stewey, while we were away for our wedding. Shane was super attentive to Stewey’s needs and exceeded our expectations (which are high!). We couldn’t have been happier and highly recommend Shane for anyone’s future needs!

Cindy was an amazing house sitter. She watched my dog and two cats while I travelled out of the country and took great care of them. I don’t enjoy leaving my animals while I travel, but she made me feel super comfortable that they were being loved in my absence, including sending updates on their antics along with adorable pictures she captured throughout her time with them.

We had an amazing experience with Adrienne! She stayed with Mickey and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mickey was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Hannah is a rockstar! I was so fortunate to be able to secure her for this past weekend as my other dog sitter had to cancel 48 hours before our trip due to a death in the family. I reached out to Hannah and she was so quick and responsive to my request. She came over that afternoon for a meet and greet with Oscar and to tour our home. She was professional and courteous, and I booked her that evening! We retuned to a VERY happy pup - and our house was in perfect order. Hannah was responsive during our time away and provided numerous updates. I highly recommend!!

I highly recommend Jessica! I was extremely happy with the care she provided for my two cats and my little special‑needs dog. She was responsive whenever I reached out and consistently shared updates throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in excellent hands. Jessica was also very respectful of my home—it was left tidy and well cared for (trash taken out, bed made, no dishes in the sink, etc.). I’m really looking forward to booking her again the next time I travel!

Jennifer is amazing! We booked her services with little notice when our previous sitter canceled on us. We were headed down to TN to get married and we’re worried about leaving our two labs with a new person. Jennifer was amazing and our dogs loved her immediately. It was so nice getting daily updates and pictures to keep us reassured all was well! Would recommend to anyone, and especially those who are like us and have high expectations when it comes to our pets!

About: I have experience with different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs. I enjoy being active, spending time at home, and taking pics of animals I work full time in healthcare. Available mornings before 7am and after 5:30-6pm on week days for walks. I am also free any time on weekends!! I make sure the pets can hang out with me instead of in a crate while I am present in the home. I make sure to supervise and ensure pets are not damaging household items. I also enjoy being outdoors and I would take the pet/dog on a walk if allowed.

Victoria was an amazing sitter for my dog Felix. Felix can be a bit shy but he warmed up her quickly. She sent me photos and updates every day, which I appreciated so much. I trusted her completely with my pup and my house and I’d highly recommend her for any pet needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life since I was under 10. My first dog was a 100 pound lab. We’ve always had multiple dogs in the house and I’ve always fed, walked and taken good care of them! Like they are my kids! Please leave me a review after I’ve taken care of your pups to ensure others get great service too! I work from home. I am free to help take care of your pets when you can’t! We have a fenced in back yard and have 2 3 year old rescues that are brother and sister. They are Chihuahua pitbull mixes if you can imagine that. I work from home and can walk or care for your dogs around my work schedule and my daughters life! I love them and treat them as if they are my own! I treat others dogs like they are my own. Make sure they get exercise if that’s what is needed, play time, potty breaks, food and water breaks and lots of love and pets!
