“Our dog, Leo, did great in their care. He had some good friends to play with and lots of walks. I appreciated their level of communication. We will definitely take Leo there again.”
“Alex was great with our dog Kona. She sent many pictures during the stay and was very accommodating. Kona had a great time! I would highly recommend Alex to watch your pup.”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“It was a great experience, and she made it easy for us to have somebody watch our dog for the first time. She was very good with communication and sent pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth was awesome. She is very down to earth, is knowledgeable with dogs, and she communicated very well. We would book with her again when the time comes and she is available!”
“Jennifer and her family were amazing! She sent great pics and updates the whole time. Her girls were so excited and happy to have her. Lots of activity and snuggles! We will choose Jennifer again for great care.”
“Yuki was so fantastic with our dog Nala! Nala can be a bit wild especially when meeting new people, but Yuki didn’t seemed concerned about it one bit. You can immediately tell her love for dogs! We received many photo updates, and in every one of them Nala had a great big smile or looked totally pooped out and napping from playing with the other dogs. We are so relieved to have found such a great sitter for Nala while we were in town, and will definitely be using Yuki again when we are in the area.”
“Kelsey was, by far, the best dog sitter we have ever had. She sent SO many photos and updates of our pup, which is something we never expected but it was so appreciated! Our pup became best friends with hers and we really hope to have Kelsey watch her again 🥰”
“Katelyn and Hayden took such good care of our pups! Kona and Maple didn’t wanna leave and had the best time playing with their dog, Mae! We got videos and pictures throughout their stay so we knew they were well taken care of and had a blast! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Such a great experience! it was the first time I had to leave my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and was super responsive! I picked miss millie up this morning, and she was happy as can be! Totally recommend:)”
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals. My kids are 10 & 7. They have grown up with pets in the home & understand to respect the animal. I am able to give them attention throughout the day as I work in my home. I only accept 1 dog per day as a playmate to my own dog & to ensure the dogs have enough supervision. I have a fully fenced yard for them to explore & enjoy. I'll keep you updated with photos throughout their stay. To ensure safety and a stress-free stay for everyone: -Dogs must be comfortable in a home environment -No severe separation anxiety (must be able to settle when I step out briefly) -No destructive behaviors (chewing furniture, doors, crates, etc.) -No aggressive behaviors toward people or other dogs -No escape artists (must respect fencing and gates) -Up-to-date on vaccinations and flea prevention -Friendly with children and other dogs I work from home in an office upstairs. Currently, my pets are able to roam freely throughout the house. I am able to do 10-15 minute walks in the morning, (longer during lunch, afternoon, & in the evening. I have a fenced in yard. The pets are able to roam freely throughout the house, or I am able to coral them to one side of the house when we leave. Dogs will be crated during the night.
“Sabrina and her family were wonderful to work with. I felt immediately at ease meeting with them and Ted had a great time staying at their house. They sent plenty of pictures of his adventures and we've already booked another stay with them. Would give more stars if I could, definitely recommend trusting your pet with this family!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“Renae was absolutely amazing with my pup! She kept me updated the whole time, sent me check-ins, and made everything so easy from start to finish. Harlynn came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciate how attentive and reliable she was throughout the entire process. I will definitely be booking with Renae again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to take care of their fur baby!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and have taken care of cats for 2 years now. I love taking care of both equally! I work full time, my husband works part time and is home during the day. We are available to watch your pets on weekends, but can do during the week as well! I have a home in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run. I also own a friendly chocolate lab that would love play with your pup!

About: I have worked in the animal industry for a good bit while at an animal shelter and a doggy daycare as well. I have had animals my entire life and currently have 2 dogs of my own! I have experience training and medicating animals. I also have experience with reactive/anxious dogs. I do have a job I will be leaving soon as I am moving in 2 months so I can rearrange my schedule quite a bit to let any pups out or pop in and check on anyone’s babies. I am willing to clear time to make your baby a priority! I have a pretty lenient schedule so if your pet wants to spend some time cuddling or playing in the yard it’s no problem I will clear time for them! If your pup loves to go hiking or on long walks I have no problem enjoying nature with them!
“Julia is absolute gold. From the moment I booked her, I felt completely at ease — and that peace of mind is priceless when it comes to my cats. Merman and Calpurnia were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for while I was away (which tells you everything). Julia is dependable, communicative, and genuinely loving with animals. She sent thoughtful updates, followed instructions perfectly, and treated both my home and my cats with so much respect. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again — she’s the kind of sitter you hope to find and then never want to let go of. Highly, highly recommend!”

I also have experience in the veterinary field and can administer medications if needed.

About: I have taken care of a whole bunch of cats over the years and be honest with you. They are their own creature. I love how the attitude always comes out even when you don’t expect it.

I know how to administer medication in keeping those litter boxes, clean and healthy is what’s more important to a cat and to a human. I don’t have a cat, but it’s the experience is what I cherish the most.

“Awesome sitter! Was able to squeeze my girl in last minute on the Fourth of July so I could spend time with family instead of stressing over her barking (from separation anxiety) in the hotel. Erin is so sweet and invited us in right away to take a look at her house and the backyard. She made me feel very good about leaving my little angel in her care. When we went to pick her up Erin invited us in again and filled us in on everything they did together. Mocha was a very happy girl when we picked her up and I know they had fun together!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard and a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed. I also am comfortable going into your home and watching your critters there too :)
About: I went to school to be a vet tech. I can administer any medications you may need. I specialize in the care of elderly pets and their unique needs. Animals are better than people. My schedule is open for weekdays or weekends, night or day. Your babies can come stay with me or I can stay with them (sometimes home is just less scary) Whether at my home or yours if there’s a yard we’ll be playing for hours, if there isn’t we’ll be taking some fun walks at the park. I always check the air temperature to decipher concrete temps because nobody wants hot paws! I also always carry water so we can all stay happy and hydrated.

About: Growing up, I've always had pets, and my affection for them has only grown stronger as I've gotten older. I'm fascinated by creatures of all kinds and enjoy learning about them. My pet-care experience stems from having my own pets as well as caring for family, friends, and volunteers over the years. I’m excited to get to know you and your pet and provide that unconditional safety and love. Ideally weekends work best but weekdays in the morning are just fine as well. I have a mixed schedule so contact me for any questions. I can always assure my clients that i will take the finest possible care of their dog or cat. I do recognize that leaving a pet at home can be stressful but I make note of all relevant information, such as emergency contacts, veterinarian details, food recommendations, medication information, alarm codes, etc. Never forgetting to lock the doors, and never leave the building without a key. You can be sure that your pet is in good hands.
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler.

It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together.

Getting to know a pet and learning their personality and preferences is important to me, I want us both to have a good time! I'm currently work part-time and I'm a student, taking most of my classes online so I can be flexible! Mondays and Wednesdays I'm pretty busy in the morning, but I'm usually free by 2-3pm. I have two cats that are very well-socialized with other cats and small to medium sized dogs. Sometimes I put up a gate and allow the cats to sun themselves on the deck, which they love! In other people's homes, I make sure to tread lightly and let the pets take the lead on getting comfortable with me being in their space.

About: Hello! I have always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. I had my own dog, Charlie, who had complex health issues and unfortunately is no longer with me. He made me comfortable with giving medications, insulin/allergy shots, and following instructions with dietary restrictions that I can also provide your pets with when needed. I currently work full time M-F, but my schedule is flexible during the week and most weekends. I have also been employed for over a year with a company in the F/M area providing pet care services in people's homes. I LOVE what I do and always looking for more opportunities to meet new furry friends. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to text/phone calls or email when reaching out looking for pet care. I'm able to do morning shifts before I head to my full time job M-F, lunch breaks, and after work. I can often move my schedule around if you need other times throughout the day too. Just ask! Weekends are more open when I am not out of town. I prefer going to the pets home to provide care where they are in a familiar environment. I can provide walks, bring your pet outside to play, clean litter boxes, feed and fill their water, administer medication etc. Boarding in my home can also be provided, as I have a pet and smoke free home and can work with your pets needs to make them feel safe and at home.
About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from playful puppies to more relaxed or senior dogs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their routines, behavior, and comfort. I’m patient, reliable, and good at picking up on small changes in a pet’s mood or needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure each pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to maintain consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I’m home often to provide companionship and supervision. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with three friendly and playful dogs who enjoy socializing. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. If needed, I can separate or crate my dogs or your pet to ensure a stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and relaxed.
About: I’ve helped train dogs before and I'd love to assist in sharpening their skills. I love walks or staying at home! I enjoy all dog company! I currently have control and flexibility of creating my own schedule. So I’m technically working part-time but I can work full-time if I want to. I follow their pets routines so they don’t feel as sad when their owners leave. This helps to regulate their days and overall mood and well-being.
About: I have a pup of my own and always appreciate a dependable walker/dog sitter. I know the stress of needing to find someone to care for your pet last minute. It’s not fun! I am excited to meet your pet :) I am available during the week! And starting in May 2024 will be available most weekends. I’m happy to house sit for dogs as well. I offer drop ins and walks and house sitting for dogs only. If I meet your pet and they are a good fit, I would be open to having them stay in my home with my pet and I.

About: I have experience mostly with having pets at home, I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child! I used to work for a pet supply and adoption store; finding homes for puppies, kittens, bunnies, and other pets. This included some socialization training and administering vaccinations and medicine when necessary. Researching pet products and getting families set up to take their new member home was a huge play into my role as a pet sitter now! Right now I am working full time Monday-Friday with Friday afternoons free. I am in the works to change my schedule for more availability. Message me to work times out! I am in a townhome, unfenced backyard. Quiet neighborhood, with nearby parks and grass land or sidewalks. I prefer to pet sit in-house instead of at mine, however, I can be flexible. My roommates and I have two cats, and a dog!

“Our dog, Leo, did great in their care. He had some good friends to play with and lots of walks. I appreciated their level of communication. We will definitely take Leo there again.”
“Alex was great with our dog Kona. She sent many pictures during the stay and was very accommodating. Kona had a great time! I would highly recommend Alex to watch your pup.”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“It was a great experience, and she made it easy for us to have somebody watch our dog for the first time. She was very good with communication and sent pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth was awesome. She is very down to earth, is knowledgeable with dogs, and she communicated very well. We would book with her again when the time comes and she is available!”
“Yuki was so fantastic with our dog Nala! Nala can be a bit wild especially when meeting new people, but Yuki didn’t seemed concerned about it one bit. You can immediately tell her love for dogs! We received many photo updates, and in every one of them Nala had a great big smile or looked totally pooped out and napping from playing with the other dogs. We are so relieved to have found such a great sitter for Nala while we were in town, and will definitely be using Yuki again when we are in the area.”
“Kelsey was, by far, the best dog sitter we have ever had. She sent SO many photos and updates of our pup, which is something we never expected but it was so appreciated! Our pup became best friends with hers and we really hope to have Kelsey watch her again 🥰”
“Katelyn and Hayden took such good care of our pups! Kona and Maple didn’t wanna leave and had the best time playing with their dog, Mae! We got videos and pictures throughout their stay so we knew they were well taken care of and had a blast! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Such a great experience! it was the first time I had to leave my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and was super responsive! I picked miss millie up this morning, and she was happy as can be! Totally recommend:)”
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals. My kids are 10 & 7. They have grown up with pets in the home & understand to respect the animal. I am able to give them attention throughout the day as I work in my home. I only accept 1 dog per day as a playmate to my own dog & to ensure the dogs have enough supervision. I have a fully fenced yard for them to explore & enjoy. I'll keep you updated with photos throughout their stay. To ensure safety and a stress-free stay for everyone: -Dogs must be comfortable in a home environment -No severe separation anxiety (must be able to settle when I step out briefly) -No destructive behaviors (chewing furniture, doors, crates, etc.) -No aggressive behaviors toward people or other dogs -No escape artists (must respect fencing and gates) -Up-to-date on vaccinations and flea prevention -Friendly with children and other dogs I work from home in an office upstairs. Currently, my pets are able to roam freely throughout the house. I am able to do 10-15 minute walks in the morning, (longer during lunch, afternoon, & in the evening. I have a fenced in yard. The pets are able to roam freely throughout the house, or I am able to coral them to one side of the house when we leave. Dogs will be crated during the night.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“Renae was absolutely amazing with my pup! She kept me updated the whole time, sent me check-ins, and made everything so easy from start to finish. Harlynn came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciate how attentive and reliable she was throughout the entire process. I will definitely be booking with Renae again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to take care of their fur baby!”
