“We reached out to them at the last minute to watch our mini goldendoodle and they responded back quickly and were able to board him that night. They did a great job, and keep us updated on how our dog was doing with pictures and texts. They did an excellent job.”
“Donna made my dogs feel very comfortable at her home. They were already running around and playing right after our meet and greet. She made sure they were warm over the holiday weekend and responded to my messages immediately. Will definitely rebook. Thank you!”
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”
“Sydni is absolutely amazing! We recently went on vacation and boarded our dog with her, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she provided. From the moment we dropped him off, she treated him like her own, giving him so much attention, cuddles, and playtime. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and genuine, but Sydni truly goes above and beyond. Our dog came home relaxed, healthy, and full of joy, clearly having had a wonderful time with her. I would recommend Sydni to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive to their pets. We will definitely be coming back to her for any future boarding or pet-sitting needs!”
“Olivia is so attentive and thorough with care instructions, has a beautiful back yard that my dog loved, and has a genuine love for animals that I could understand from our first meeting. My dog came home happy and freshly exercised, so I was able to relax immediately. Thank you Olivia!”
About: I’m a SAHM to an almost 2 year old. We have time to spend with your animals and make sure they’re well loved and cared for . My son has been around animals and I’ve taught him to be gentle and would never leave your pet unattended. We also love taking them for walks or playing outside with them. I’m a SAHM mom to an 1 year old boy who loves animals . I’m available any time of day usually and try to spend an hour or two with the dog or cat at a time so they’re not lonely . I only care for animals in other peoples homes . I can do drop ins and if I’m house sitting for you I’ll spend a good bit of time with your animals . If I’m doing a drop in it will be for about an hour each time . If you’re worried about my son I can also bring a play pen for him
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I love being an “auntie” to friends’ and neighbors’ pets, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company while their families are away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members because I’ve relied on kind pet sitters to love on my own pets, too. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I also travel intermittently for work, but when I’m home, I love starting and ending my day with morning, afternoon, and evening walks—especially with a four-legged friend by my side! I’m a parent with my kids on a week-on, week-off schedule (Friday to Friday), so during my kid-free weeks, I have even more flexibility for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care. During the weeks my kids are with me, they’re kind, respectful animal lovers who have grown up with dogs and cats and enjoy helping give pets extra love and attention. I’m also excited to share that I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, creating an even safer and more fun space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, loving, and happy home away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine or if you prefer. I also have gates installed to safely separate areas of my home, including access to the deck and carpeted rooms, so I can easily accommodate different pets’ needs and personalities. I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, which will soon provide an even larger secure space for dogs to run and play. Whether your pet needs extra structure, freedom to play, or somewhere quiet to relax, I’m flexible and happy to tailor their care to the routine that helps them feel most comfortable and at home.
“Jennifer and her beautiful family were amazing with Mylow! She provided daily updates and pictures while we were on vacation. Her family loved on our dog like he was their own. Pick up and drop off were seamless and you could genuinely see and feel Jennifer’s love for animals. Mylow came home one happy dog. We will definitely use Jennifer in the future. Thanks again Jennifer! 💜”
“Janet is the most desirable Dogsitter you can find. She took great care of my dog like her own dog. She kept me updated on how my dog doing everyday by sending pictures and she is super responsive to my texts. Absolutely love her so much.I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my dog. I already booked her for watching my dog and cat again during Xmas time.”
“Victoria did an amazing job watching our dogs for ten days. She sent lots of pictures and keep us up to date on how our dogs were doing. The dogs were very happy with her and enjoyed playing with the other dogs.”

About: I have had very few years of my life without the company of a pet - first, growing up with dogs, and now taking care of other people's dogs (and cats). I often have a Golden Retriever who likes to staycay with me when his mom is away. I have boarded Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Bull Mastiffs, Chihuahuas, to name a few! I am also experienced at administering medication. Your little (or big) one will enjoy the creature comforts of a little townhome with a large area to play and exercise. Because I'm located just a couple of blocks from Gifford Park, babies who love the outdoors are just minutes away from a luxurious sprint or smelling who is new in town. When it's time to unwind, the indoors are just right. Beds and couches galore allow for a relaxing way to end the day. All cheekiness aside, I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently taking a chance on a new path into a career I've always dreamed about but never had the time to pursue. At this stage in my life, I'm ready finally to try it! Animals are like children, and they come first. When they are with me, they know it! Regular vet visits, exercise, attention, healthy food, and mental stimulation are a must at my house, and I treat every animal as my own. If someone leaves me in charge of the safety and well-being of their beloved pet, I take that responsibility as high as a person possibly can. Physical safety is not my only concern. I hope to make these times away from you feel less stressful for your loved one. I am sure to give them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe until you return.

“We love how well Lance interacts & takes care of our cats. He, truly, is a cat whisperer. We think they like him more than they like us. Our youngest will NEVER sit on our lap. He sends pictures of her every day snuggled up on his lap. We can't figure it out. When we leave them, we don't worry about them because we know they are in good hands. Thank you, Lance, for your caring so much about their needs. We will see you next time we leave town.”
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!
“Brittany was amazing!! Very communicative and went above and beyond for my cat. She always asked before trying anything new and made sure I felt very comfortable and safe leaving my pet with her. Would definitely use her again!”
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to laid-back adults. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention to make sure your cat feels safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I’ve had cats of my own for over 5yrs and rehabilitated one of them! I’ve studied cat body language and know how to maximize their hydration since most of them don’t drink water on their own :D I’ll respect your cats’ space but give it love if it’s wanting it and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible!
“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”
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!

“Donna is an excellent dog sitter. She made sure our dog Maggie got a long with her other boarders and kept us posted throughout the day. We appreciated that she only boards smaller dogs as our Maggie is nervous around the big guys.”
About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.

About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed.

About: I've had the most honorable pleasure of being part of my own late fur babies lives for 17 and 14 years. Caring for and loving them has taken me on many lifelong learning adventures. In order to make a difference for the loves of our lives I have decided to offer my heart to pet care. If given the chance, I can only hope to show your pets love like their own, trust, snuggles, fun, and more...everything they've ever dreamed of. Thank you. Due to being a stay at home homemaker it seems I have plenty of time to devote to loving and caring for your loves as if they were my own. I'm available and open to accommodate many different schedules. As of now I am available to care for your loved ones in their own setting where they're most comfortable. Your home is where I'm able to love and care for your furbabies. There are also many possibilities for walking, and I also offer vet visit care. That's as in being your pets' veterinary appointment partner.

Your pup will be treated like part of our family and receive plenty of love, playtime, and care while they’re with us. Our standard drop-off and pick-up hours are 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. If you need times outside of those hours, please send your request for the day before or after, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. I even took care of my senior childhood dog. I now have two dachshunds of my own. I also did some cat and dog sitting in high school. I love to go on walks and am looking forward to meeting new pet friends! I am currently looking for a new job so I am always available. I am planning on working during the week days and also adding a couple school classes in the fall. I have a fenced yard and two friendly mini dachshunds. There is a cat in the house who will stay away from new pets. I can take dogs out as much as needed, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them!
About: I’ve taken care of my pets and family and friends pets for the last 10 years. Everything from walking to feeding and bathing them. I have also been trusted to dog sit at their house for 5+ days before. I have had dogs and cats my entire life and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I have also had to deal with finding a trusting caregiver while gone and I will be that trusting and loving caregiver for you! I currently have an extremely open schedule. On days I do work I would be unavailable for no more than 5-6 hours during the day. When taking care of the pets in other homes I always make sure they are not left alone for extended periods of time and make time in my day to go hang out with them. I will keep them active and play with them but also give them plenty of loves!

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 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.

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!

“We reached out to them at the last minute to watch our mini goldendoodle and they responded back quickly and were able to board him that night. They did a great job, and keep us updated on how our dog was doing with pictures and texts. They did an excellent job.”
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.
“Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.”
“Sydni is absolutely amazing! We recently went on vacation and boarded our dog with her, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she provided. From the moment we dropped him off, she treated him like her own, giving him so much attention, cuddles, and playtime. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and genuine, but Sydni truly goes above and beyond. Our dog came home relaxed, healthy, and full of joy, clearly having had a wonderful time with her. I would recommend Sydni to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive to their pets. We will definitely be coming back to her for any future boarding or pet-sitting needs!”
“Olivia is so attentive and thorough with care instructions, has a beautiful back yard that my dog loved, and has a genuine love for animals that I could understand from our first meeting. My dog came home happy and freshly exercised, so I was able to relax immediately. Thank you Olivia!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I love being an “auntie” to friends’ and neighbors’ pets, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company while their families are away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members because I’ve relied on kind pet sitters to love on my own pets, too. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I also travel intermittently for work, but when I’m home, I love starting and ending my day with morning, afternoon, and evening walks—especially with a four-legged friend by my side! I’m a parent with my kids on a week-on, week-off schedule (Friday to Friday), so during my kid-free weeks, I have even more flexibility for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care. During the weeks my kids are with me, they’re kind, respectful animal lovers who have grown up with dogs and cats and enjoy helping give pets extra love and attention. I’m also excited to share that I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, creating an even safer and more fun space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, loving, and happy home away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine or if you prefer. I also have gates installed to safely separate areas of my home, including access to the deck and carpeted rooms, so I can easily accommodate different pets’ needs and personalities. I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, which will soon provide an even larger secure space for dogs to run and play. Whether your pet needs extra structure, freedom to play, or somewhere quiet to relax, I’m flexible and happy to tailor their care to the routine that helps them feel most comfortable and at home.
“Janet is the most desirable Dogsitter you can find. She took great care of my dog like her own dog. She kept me updated on how my dog doing everyday by sending pictures and she is super responsive to my texts. Absolutely love her so much.I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for my dog. I already booked her for watching my dog and cat again during Xmas time.”
“Victoria did an amazing job watching our dogs for ten days. She sent lots of pictures and keep us up to date on how our dogs were doing. The dogs were very happy with her and enjoyed playing with the other dogs.”

About: I have had very few years of my life without the company of a pet - first, growing up with dogs, and now taking care of other people's dogs (and cats). I often have a Golden Retriever who likes to staycay with me when his mom is away. I have boarded Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Bull Mastiffs, Chihuahuas, to name a few! I am also experienced at administering medication. Your little (or big) one will enjoy the creature comforts of a little townhome with a large area to play and exercise. Because I'm located just a couple of blocks from Gifford Park, babies who love the outdoors are just minutes away from a luxurious sprint or smelling who is new in town. When it's time to unwind, the indoors are just right. Beds and couches galore allow for a relaxing way to end the day. All cheekiness aside, I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently taking a chance on a new path into a career I've always dreamed about but never had the time to pursue. At this stage in my life, I'm ready finally to try it! Animals are like children, and they come first. When they are with me, they know it! Regular vet visits, exercise, attention, healthy food, and mental stimulation are a must at my house, and I treat every animal as my own. If someone leaves me in charge of the safety and well-being of their beloved pet, I take that responsibility as high as a person possibly can. Physical safety is not my only concern. I hope to make these times away from you feel less stressful for your loved one. I am sure to give them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe until you return.
