We could not have asked for a better sitter! Erin will definitely be our number one for any future sitting needs.”

“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton.

It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”

I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time!

I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.

About: My mother is a dog trainer and boarder, so I have helped take care of dogs and cats ever since I was very young. Growing up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, so I am very equipped to handle your pets and keep them healthy:) I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule, and am able to stop by for visits throughout the day, or do over-night stays close to my school. I am flexible and accomodating, and will follow whatever routine/instructions you give me to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible when you are away!
About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.

“Tommy takes fantastic care of my dog during their daily walks! It’s great knowing my pup is in good hands, and Tommy always provides photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with this sitter!”
“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. I am a huge animal person. My family always has said I have a special bond with animals they always love me! I’d love to watch your pets during my time off! I am very consistent, timely and respectful. I also love taking pictures/photography and have some cameras so they may become my model and you may receive a couple cute pictures of your pet! I am currently not working as I am searching for a job after graduating from my masters program! So I have lots of time on my hands. I’ll give your pet lots of love and care. I will listen to any reccomendations or specifications from their parents to best support and comfort them on their days alone.
“Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for neighbors, friends, and family since I was very young and I’ve always made sure I follow owner instructions while providing as much love and care as I can. I am very detailed and follow through on my word! I currently am starting a part time job at a local school, so I will have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to house-sit and walk dogs! I work until 2:30pm on weekdays and have weekends free. I am happy to stay over and care for your pets in your home. I am a very respectful house guest and will leave everything the way I found it while caring for your pets.
About: I’ve found my love for taking care of pets since I was 4 years old. From caring for my first pet as a child to being an aunt to my best friends cat in PA school, I am highly trusted to provide high quality care and unconditional love for any pet in my presence. My schedule is flexible! I’m a physician assistant, so my weeks are a mix of clinic and administrative work. Depending on my schedule, I’m able to stop by before work, during lunch, or after work. I’m also happy to do stay-ins when needed! My weekends tend to be especially flexible as well, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs as much as possible :) My current living space is not equipped to offer care at my home, but I will care for any breed/size/age dog in a client’s home. I am adaptable and willing to do any tasks needed to ensure the pet feels loved, happy, and comfortable.
About: My name is my-tae ( Maite) and I was raised in an environment surrounded by numerous farm animals. I have always had a natural affinity for animals and a passion for assisting all types, regardless of their size. I am currently pursuing a career as a veterinary technician. At present, I am the proud owner of two small dogs, whom I consider my angels, a cat named Angie, and a bearded dragon named "Princess Bubblegum". My greatest source of happiness comes from aiding others. I am thankful for the opportunity to share my love for animals as I am currently employed at an animal hospital, and my dedication to helping every animal continues to grow each day. Your beloved pet is in safe hands. I work part-time at night and have some open slots in my schedule for additional work. I am also available for overnight boarding services. I have experience with exotic reptiles . I possess great patience and can create a nurturing environment for your pet, walks & ensuring their safety and enjoyment. I can administer medication. :)
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”
About: I have had experience with animals all my life. Dogs, cats, reptiles, I do it all. Even chickens. I've taken care of multiple animals at a time, in their home, my home, overnight visits, and frequent visits. I have references if you need them. Please contact me if you would like to hear more! I am currently in college and going to school online, so I have flexible hours and can keep a watchful eye on your pet. At most, I will have errands to run but your pets will be my number one priority. I have 1 dog and 1 cat to keep your pet company. They will love playing in my fenced backyard where they can roam free. I can take them on walks around my neighborhood, feed them, and anything else you need. My house has a dog gate where I can keep them separate from the other animals if need be.

“Catarina is a joy to work with and makes sure to send me detailed updates on her daily walks with Simba. It is great to know that she is paying such close attention to my pup (even letting me know if treats are low!).”
About: I grew up around small to medium dogs and loved them all! My partner and I have been dog sitting my family dog since she was a puppy until we moved to Texas. We’re looking to spend time with your loved furry babies and care for them as our own! I work part time and my partner works remotely so we have plenty of time to commit to your pet’s needs! Our weekends are spent outside, walking trails and parks. We have pet showers, dog stations, and other pet amenities at our residence. We are in close proximity to many parks and trails to explore with your pet!
About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, provide fresh food and any further needs . I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime before 8am and then again after 6:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday anytime from 9-11:30am and then again after 4pm, Wednesday, and Friday anytime from 7-1:30pm. For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.
About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.
