Traci is awesome! She took my dog in last min cause I had to go to a funeral and took great care of her. She sent photos daily and allow me to extend. Her family and home is very welcoming. Will definitely rebook with her.

Megan sent me photo updates which Finley looked like he was right at home! It’s comforting to know he had fun in a home we trust while we were away.

About: I began living with cats in college, and feel their absence every day since my graduation. There's a big cat sized hole in my heart. ❤️ I was unable to have cats growing up due to my father's allergy, but fell in love with the adopted cats of my college roomates. I've done much of the care for them, from cleaning litterboxes to nail trims, and I've got the scars to show from daily play with a kitten. I'd be honored to have the opportunity to meet and love your cats!

About: I have had a personal doggy care system for about 6 years. I tend to do a lot of house sitting because I want your animal to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. My business primarily has been through word of mouth but I have taken care of little fur babies from old to young, I also can give meds to any dog, no matter the issues; I’ve worked with epileptic dogs to dogs with heart issues, truly I don’t mind! I’ve worked with anxious dogs/cats to aggressive dogs/cats. I am a dog nanny to my sisters 3 dogs now, they brighten my day, daily! I absolutely love animals and hope to help yours! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to let out/walk your little ones at any and all times of the day. I don’t need much heads up, as long as I can get there, I’m able to stay as long or take them to parks, on car rides, etc. I have a pretty big fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home, one small and two medium, all very friendly to keep any fur baby company. I am comfortable house sitting as well, I also can crate if needed. I believe in providing comfort and creating a low stress environment for your baby!

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and playful. I can work with high energy or calmer/older dogs always taking the time to get to know them during our visits. I work full time but enjoy staying busy on my days off. Requests can be made for days I work as long as it is far enough out. I am in the process of gating my own front yard. Once completed I will accept daytime sitting at my own home. I am however willing to take your dog to any park you would like and approve of.

About: I grew up around all types of pets, from dogs to birds to lizards to cats. For as long as I've known, I've fed bearded dragons crickets and ran alongside happy pups. I absolutely love animals, and am happy and willing to work within any routines and structures pre-set for your pets. As a recent college graduate, my time is very flexible - I'm available for whenever you need me. I'm dedicated to clear and open communication about my time. Providing you and your pet with the least stressful pet care experience possible is my goal. I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 years old! I have pet sitted dogs, and cats! Each pet deserves as much attention and comfortablity when their owners/parents are away. I am very organized, dilegent, and cautious when it comes to pet sitting. I strive to give a great experience for both the pet and the parent so do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out and I will respond as soon as possible! :) I am currently in college, studying for my associates in Liberal Arts: Math and Science! I primarily take online classes, and will update my schedule if I am unavailble due to an in person class! This summer 2026, I will be unavaible due to class Mondays and Wednesday from 10:10-12:10pm. I am unable to have any pets stay with me due to my three cats. Unless they are reptillian, then they are welcome to stay in my home in a seperate and secure bedroom away from my cats! For taking care of pets in your home, you should expect them to be fed at their normal times, played with, and being taken care of using the expectations of the owner!

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
