“Holly was amazing! Holly agreed to watch our dog after we had a last minute cancellation by another sitter - and while that was stressful I’m so thankful we had to find someone else and we found her! Bingo was able to run and play and I know he had a blast and was well taken care of. 100% recommend!”

“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”

About: I never had cats growing up but always wanted one. My black cat was the first pet I got when I had my own place and I have since gotten another one! I can never see a cat without petting it and love their unique personalities. I am very respectful of all cats and their boundaries beacause they are very clear about what they want. I have taken care of diabetic cats and make sure my own cats and the cats I watch have plenty of mental and physical stimulation.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love being around animals! I grew up with a Lab, two Boxers, and a Morkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also pet sat for many coworkers, neighbors, friends, and family over the years. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and in your home. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime and attention, a quick potty break, or just a little company, I’m happy to help! I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also make sure your home is treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!”

She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog!

About: I have hands-on experience with a wide range of pets, including administering medications, senior pet support, and basic puppy training such as leash manners, crate training, and positive reinforcement. I’m patient, observant, and always attentive to each pet’s unique behavior and needs. Additionally, I provide detailed updates with photos and notes, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Your peace of mind is my priority—and your pet’s well-being is my passion. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I schedule my day around the pets I care for—whether that’s morning walks, meal times, medication schedules, or play sessions. I treat each booking with the same commitment I would give to my own pets, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I prioritize consistency and reliability, which means I plan my weekly routine to accommodate the unique needs of each pet and family I work with. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended care, I’m organized, flexible, and always focused on providing the best possible experience—for both pets and their people. When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining their daily routine and comfort. I follow feeding schedules, walk or play with them as needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I’m respectful of your home, and I make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also provide updates with photos so you can see your pet is happy and in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, my top priorities are safety, routine, and love—because pets thrive on all three.

About: I'd love to be your professional pet sitter! When I'm with your fur baby, they are my full-time concern. I'll send you pictures of your happy pet while you are away. I know animals miss their humans, and I do everything I can to make their stay-cation with me enjoyable while you are away. My clients call my home the Petz Carleton. I am privileged to have so many furry friends return. It does my heart proud when they come running up to my front door for another stay-cation at their home away from home. You can rest assured that no one will give your loved fur baby more attention and better care than I will. Taking care of others' pets so they can relax while they are away is my mission! I'm retired, but I do some freelance writing work, which takes eight or nine hours a week. My writing never interferes with my focus on your fur baby. I walk every day in my beautiful neighborhood and would love to have your pet's company. My schedule is open. I go to Church on Sunday mornings, and feel free to reach out for more references to Mymemos. That is the Yahoo email address that I will respond to. The meet-and-greet we do will be very thorough. I will ask lots of questions about your pet and take notes. I'll also want contact information for you, your vet, and a trusted friend. Once I have that information, your pet will be cared for like you were there. I'll show you where your pet will sleep if they are used to sleeping with mom and dad.

About: I found my first love for dogs when I was about 5, and begged my mom to rescue Burrito Bob. I then grew up always having a dog around. My junior year of high school I decided to buy my very own goldendoodle, Toby James. Toby is the best dog ever, and more so my child than my dog! I have 2 goldendoodle’s of my own, and they have learned very quickly what it’s like to be spoiled (we love drive through, the word pup-cup, and car rides! Of course we also love going on walks and runs! I have grown up living with 5 dogs at once of all different breeds! I’ve also recently learned how to groom my own doodles! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’d love to care for your dogs like my own! I have 2 pups of my own that I treat like children! I enjoy taking my dogs for long walks and taking care of them! I will walk and let dogs out during the days! I have a 70 and 30 pound doodle that I walk at the same time! We recently welcomed our first non-fur baby into our home in October, and I am looking for a way to be the best mom I can be! What better way than daily walks and our absolute favorite thing - dogs?!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I believe pets are more than companions—they’re family! I cared for my own dog for over 10 years, so I know firsthand the responsibility and everyday care that goes into being a great pet parent. I’m caring, attentive and dependable, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality. I’m excited to be your pet’s adventure buddy for walks and playtime, ensuring they feel loved and safe while you’re away. My goal is to provide your pets with the same affection and patience I’d want someone to give my own. As a recent graduate pursuing a full-time career in the sports and design industry, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule while I build my career. I’m currently completing contract and freelance work online, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week. This means I have lots of time to dedicate to your pets, whether they need a morning walk, a midday check-in, an afternoon adventure or some extra companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your schedule, providing consistent and dependable care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big deal. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and personality, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and your space. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, follow any house guidelines you may provide and ensure doors and gates are secure. Most importantly, I believe in clear communication to build trust with both pets and their people. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is receiving loving and attentive care in a safe environment.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who has had dogs my entire life, including my last two dogs who were giant breeds. Because of that, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, including big, strong and feisty pups who need someone confident and experienced. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and dogs recovering from surgery, and I’m comfortable giving medications and providing extra care when needed. I’ve also cared for dogs with ACL tears, so I understand the importance of following recovery instructions, keeping them comfortable, and giving them plenty of patience and love. I’ve taken care of friends’ and family members’ pets while they’ve been out of town, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra cuddles, medication, or simply a little extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. 🐾❤️

“Our dogs were so happy with Cary and Lara. They seemed sad to leave their new friends when we got home. We got fun pictures to show us their adventures while we were away, and I could tell they just settled right in. It was a fantastic experience!”

“Meagan was amazing. She sent us pictures daily and made sure we knew right away when Iris injured herself. Iris is a high energy GSP so we were not surprised but Meagen kept an eye on her injury and updated us often as she healed. Iris loved her time spent with Meagen and we would use her again.”

“Penny, my 15 month old Golden, loved staying at Shawna's for a long weekend away. It looks like Penny had a great time and she loved running around with her dog Jersey! Lots of space to run and play. And Penny has a lot of energy to burn! Will definitely use Shawna again if needed.”

“Jeter loves going to Alok’s house. This is our third time with Alok. We receive lots of videos and pictures while we’re gone. Jeter is always happy and runs in when we drop him off. I will continue to use Alok as our rover. When I leave him I know he will be very well cared for by Alok, and his girls.”

“Kelly took great care of Cooper while we were out of town for a week! I loved knowing that she’s a dog trainer. He got along great with her dogs and had a place nearby to run. She was also super responsive. Will definitely use her again.”
