“Huge thanks to Josie for taking such amazing care of Happy for over 40 days! 🐶💛 She sent regular photo updates, which gave me and my husband so much peace of mind. It was so sweet to see Happy sleeping on the bed and sofa, playing with toys, and looking completely at Josie's home. You can truly tell that she treats Happy for like family. I’m so grateful — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible dog sitter!”

“Theresa and Scott were absolutely amazing I would let them watch Colby anytime! They really treated Colby like one of their own and I know he made tons of new friends with all their pups!! They sent tons of pictures and videos! I would recommend anyone that needs animal care to get hold of them!!”
“This was our first time leaving our boxer with anyone. Derrick was great. We felt like he treated our dog like his own. Appreciated the pictures he sent when he took her for a walk. His house is set up so the pets he’s watching have their own room with a bed and couch. We really appreciated that she wasn’t out in a kennel. We will definitely use Derrick again.”
“Where a dog can be a dog! Becky has the ideal environment for dogs. My favorite thing is that my dog got to be with other dogs all the time and I received multiple videos and pictures that were refreshingly transparent. Our meet and greet impressed upon me Becky’s passion for canines and I could relax while my dog was in her capable hands.”
“We left our Nellie in the very capable hands of Alyssa while we were on vacation. Alyssa sent multiple daily updates and was so attentive to Nellie and her cautious disposition. We can’t thank Alyssa and her family enough for caring for our girl!”

About: Hi, I’m Angelica, a retired veteran and passionate pet lover who’s been dog sitting since 2017. After losing my service dog Buddy, I turned my love for animals into a mission to care for yours like family. I’m experienced with dogs of all kinds—puppies, seniors, and those with medical needs—happily administering medications and tailoring care to each pet’s unique personality. I adore taking dogs on car rides, hiking trails, or exploring nearby lakes, and I offer pick-up and drop-off services for an additional fee. From my time volunteering in Phuket, Thailand (2016) to walking dogs at Koh Lanta’s Animal Welfare, I bring a world of care to every furry friend. Whether it’s potty training, baths (just ask for pricing!), or cuddles on the bed (if allowed), your pet will feel right at home. I’m also comfortable with cats, farm animals, and endless games of fetch! I prefer meet-and-greets before bookings to ensure a perfect fit. Let’s give your four-legged family member the love and adventure they deserve with Best Buddy Dog Sitting! As a retired veteran, I’m all in for pet care! I’m available weekdays and weekends, offering sitting in my home or yours—wherever your pet feels happiest. My schedule revolves around giving them the love and attention they deserve. My home features a fenced yard—perfect for romping or leashed adventures—plus quiet, low-traffic streets for walks. If the weather’s good and they’re up for it, well-behaved pets join me on outings, from car rides to playdates with other friendly dogs. In your home, I adapt to their routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for.
About: I’ve had my own dog for years and she loves to play! Would love to watch your dog so she can make friends while you enjoy time away! I work full time but am home most evenings and weekends! I enjoy walking my dog and I have a fenced in back yard so they get plenty of exercise! I have a fenced in back yard with one dog at home. I have one small create but am fine if they roam the house!
“Robin took great care of both of my dogs, one of whom is an anxious senior. She provided updates with photos and was accessible, courteous and professional. I highly recommend Robin as a reliable and caring dogsitter!”
About: I don’t just care for pets—I love them like family. I have a Brittany Spaniel puppy of my own, and before that, I had a sweet companion who was with me for 10 years. Losing her taught me just how deep the bond with an animal runs. To me, caring for your dog isn’t a “job”, it’s giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own kids (and yes, my pup too!). Hi, I’m Kylie! I’m married with two kids, and we’re a family that truly loves animals. I work full-time 9–5, which means I’m home every evening and off on weekends—the perfect time to give pets the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy walking, hiking, and running. I walk my own Brittany Spaniel puppy daily (we’re training to start running together soon!), so keeping up with active pups comes naturally. I also cared for a senior dog for over 10 years, which taught me patience, compassion, and how important it is to treat pets like family at every stage of life. With me, your furry loved one will get reliable, loving care—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I keep a watchful eye on playtime, walks, and interactions to make sure everyone stays happy and safe. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, routines, and medications, and I always keep fresh water available. At home, pets are cared for in a clean, family-friendly environment. I have a playful pup of my own and two children, so your dog will always have company, stimulation, and affection—but I’m also mindful of boundaries and comfort levels to make sure your pet feels secure. Trust is everything when it comes to pet care. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, love, and respect. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or just sitting quietly together, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!
About: Vet nurse 10+ years. CPR Certified. The best quality care for your furry family members. I am trained and qualified to ensure that your pet has everything they want and need. I actively work at several veterinary hospitals in the area. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible. My professional career is directly related to pet care so it’s a huge part of my life. I take pet care very seriously. I love animals and treat them with compassion and respect. If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise. There is no better option for your pets care.

“This was the first time that Crystal watched our two older cats for drop-in visits. It was a 3-night duration. She was very communicative throughout the entire trip and took pictures and videos of the cats. Also, the last night we were away, we had torrential rain and local flooding, and she still made it over the next morning. I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Josie was very responsive and even sent me updates and photos when her app wasn’t working. She went above and beyond! Would definitely book with her again - my cat seemed happy!”
About: I have loved cats since I can remember. I have cared for many kitties in my life. I have experience administering shots and medications, personalized feeding, cleaning, and even birthing. I have studied and researched cat behaviors since I could read. I love each fur baby like they are my own.
“Jessica was wonderful with Sunny my reactive Pitbull and Willow my very friendly cat. I’ve booked her for several more visits. She was responsive, polite, friendly and clearly loves animals. I am excited to continue to work with her.”
“My girls had a wonderful time with Emma. I saved back a new bark box for the occasion, and she spent the visit playing with them and taking them out in the back yard. We are already planning another adventure!”

We have a house full of dog toys and treats because both of my dogs are very spoiled.
About: I have taken care of many cats growing up. Usually, I would guilt my mom into taking them inside. I have lots of experience with litter box cleaning. I am also experienced in administering medications, even eye drops to spicy cats. I understand the patience that some cats require in building trust with people and am willing to take the time to build that trust with your cat/cats!
About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have been raising my beagle since he was a puppy and have since adopted 2 cats and a senior dog. I care for my mothers dogs, my sisters cats and dogs, and my brothers cats when they are out of town. I have reliable transportation, so I can provide dog walking and check-ins. I’m currently working part time, so I have pretty flexible availability. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you would like to work something out! I’m happy to play with your animals indoors or outdoors, walk them as much as you like, and give them as many treats as I’m allowed!
About: I’ve been a doggo lover my entire life. I got my first pup my senior year of high school and he’s my best friend to this day. At home I’m now a doggo dad of 4. Winston, Calvin, Winnie, & Junior. My daily experience of over 10 years has taught me how to handle everything from high energy zoomies to picky eater senior dogs (my chihuahua). If it’s a quick walk around the block, a full day of adventures, or just coming to check in and feed, I treat every pet like my own. Really paying attention to their routine, safety, exercise, and lots of affection. I’d love to bring that type of care to your fur babies. I am as flexible as it gets. My other job is delivering groceries for Walmart which I also make my own hours for. I am available and compatible to match the schedule and services you need. My home is a secure, pet friendly fenced in yard. I would never leave your fur babies outside without supervision. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My dogs are very friendly but can be totally isolated from your pets if that’s what you request. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, following your instructions exactly, and I will send updates with photos so you can see your fur babies happy and safe. You can trust your pet will be in a loving, attentive, and safe environment just like my own pack receives every day.
“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. This was our second time leaving our little fur-baby with her and he seems to really enjoy her and is opening up (He has a bit of separation anxiety)...I cannot recommend her enough!”

I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.
