“Jie took amazing care of my fur baby again! I had some last minute travel needs that extended my time and she was very responsive and accommodating! Will certainly leave my little one in her care again during travel!”
“Abby took great care of my Jack Russell mix rescue. Her farm was a great environment for my dog, who needs a lot of interaction and stimulation. Abby sent us great photos of our dog on the farm, which we really appreciated. I will definitely be leaving my dog with Abby again!”
“Hannah was great! This was our first time leaving our dog, Taco, with her, and it was for 5 days. We were of course nervous leaving him with someone new for so long, but as soon as we walked through her door, we were reassured he was going to be in great care! She kept us updated with photos throughout, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family during that time. Taco is excited to visit again!”
“Goldie had a great stay at Ashley's home! Ashley was very communicative and sent us lots of photos of Goldie. I didn't feel like I needed to worry about Goldie while she was there. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely use her again!!”

“Alicia and her sweet family welcomed Ollie into their home for a 10 day stay. This was Ollie's first stay away from home and Alicia did her best to make him feel safe and comfortable during his stay. Upon pickup he was healthy and happy - would not hesitate to book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amy was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive while caring for my dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. Communication was great, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her services!”
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about the precious pets needs for me. I provide 5 star service and have a flexible schedule to meet your and your four legged friends needs! I don’t have a furry friend of my own but I love the opportunity to give a little love to all the pets I meet. Any dog big or small is awesome in my book. My aim is to make them happy and your life a bit easier! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to spend time with your wonderful pets! I currently work a 9 to 5 remote job and have plenty of flexibility to meet you and your pets needs. I can house sit or do drop ins as needed with my schedule. I am the happiest when I am around dogs and enjoy playing with them! I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for over 8 years. I have access to trails in my backyard and live and work in a dog friendly area. I love meeting new friends and having fun adventures around our gorgeous town.
“Emily was AMAZING! Our Gus had a great time! It was obvious that Emily not only took VERY good care of him but he was treated to his all-time favorite game of fetch and cooling off in the kiddie pool multiple times! He came home happy and tired. :) We highly recommend Emily, she goes above and beyond expectations, and we will definitely use her again! Thanks Emily!”
“Carter was an excellent sitter. He showed concern for my dogs health by reviewing my dogs eating habits to make sure no food would be bad for him. Oliver was in great spirits and seemed to have had a great visit full of love.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Mellissa was outstanding! I’m very attached to my sweet Mountain Cur, Sugar Magnolia. Mellissa accommodated me with very short notice and was very gracious and helpful and made the process very easy for me. She sent me daily reports with photographs that made me feel at ease knowing Sugar was happy and being well cared for. She was out on trails every day getting exercise and socializing with other dogs. I would not hesitate to use Mellissa services again and give her the highest recommendation.”
“Bear says he had an awesome time with Christine! He explored everywhere, sent us great pictures and can't wait to go back! Christine and Bear really seem to love each other! We will use her every chance we get!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my three dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“I really hope we can do this again together. My girls were so happy and well cared for. I really liked the updates and jr was lovely seeing how relaxed my girls were even though I’d been gone for five days. Jordan took notes when we left and it helped to ease my mind. She was just wonderful.”
About: I used to babysit for my friends, family membersand & neighbors. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. I'm very good at handling bigger dogs.

“Hannah is the best! She surpassed any hope or expectation we had when looking for someone to visit our two dogs while we were completing an out-of-state relocation complicated by last-minute schedule changes. It was great to know our best friends were in good hands, and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy their time with Hannah, who kept us up to date with pictures and notes and answered all of our questions. If we need a pet sitter again at any point, she is the first person we’ll look for, and we highly recommend her for your pets, as well.”
“Can I give Amadie 10 stars??? We had recently lost one of our kitties and had a 10 day vacation scheduled plus we had moved so needed a pet sitter for our senior, very shy kitty. Amadie was the perfect fit! Our senior kitty warmed up to her and she actually let Amadie pet her a few times. This was a first for anyone besides me or my husband! The patience, love and care she showed to Luna was beyond anything we ever expected. She also was so caring for our home and reached out with questions. Amadie communicated with us daily, pictures and updates. We will definitely ask Amadie to care for Luna again.”
About: I treat every pet like family—dogs, cats, and every animal in between. I take time to understand each animal’s unique personality, preferences, and routines. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs extra exercise or a shy cat who wants a cozy lap and quiet company, I meet pets where they’re at. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to the little things that matter most—like a favorite toy, feeding schedule, or bedtime habit. Plus, I keep you updated with thoughtful, consistent communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can visit in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, or in the evenings. On weekdays, I’m typically available for up to three visits a day, and I often have even more availability on weekends if needed. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I make sure everything stays clean and calm, and I always respect your space as if it were my own. Every visit includes lots of love, attention, and updates so you know your pet is doing great.
About: I love cats, but no more than my roommate does. He's had cats his whole life, including Cookie, who's his current cat. We've both been around cats our whole life and know that each cat has its own personality, likes and needs and we will always be attentive to that.
“Elias took fantastic care of my tricky kitty, including administering meds in food and dealing with frozen wet food (Smalls) which is trickier than scooping dry food or opening a can. They were very responsive communication-wise and enthusiastic. I will definitely turn to them again for kitty care when I next leave town.”

“Mike and Laura cared for my pup like she was their own. My dog is a little anxious and overly excitable but Mike took that all in his stride. He sent photos throughout the day and I could quickly see she felt right at home. She had a long walk and lots of playtime with her favorite game of frisbee. The night before we had a big snow storm and Mike was excellent at keeping me up to date on the road conditions. I will be happy to go back another time.”
“Letícia took such great care of Bomi!! She was incredibly kind and patient with her. Bomi usually needs some time to warm up, especially when we leave her, but Letícia was so understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with pictures and Bomi looked so comfortable and happy! Her dog, Malu is super sweet too! We highly recommend Letícia if you are looking for a sitter 👍”

This rich experience has shaped my deep love for all creatures. Over the years, I've cared for a range of pets, from kittens to senior dogs! I have experience managing reactive dogs, having learned a great deal from working with one of my own and collaborating with a professional trainer. I'm eager to lend a hand with your pets whenever you need assistance, whether it's through drop-in visits or walks. I firmly believe that animals are part of the family and deserve the utmost love and attention. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! I work at a nearby Urgent Care three days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays) and I'm eager to spend my days off enjoying some cuddles, playtime and exercises with your fur babies!! I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me being in their home and in their spaces- I like to take things slow and see how your animal interacts with me and go from there. I want this to be a pawsitive experience for everyone!
“Allison was great with my dog Churro. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your house keys and beloved pet with a stranger! After a meet and greet, Allison agreed to walk and feed Churro while I was out of town. She was responsible, accountable and also flexible with a last minute request. Churro seemed happy and well cared for upon my return. I will be calling on Allison again in the near future for help with walking and caring for Churro!”
About: I have had dogs & cats in my life since childhood. A parakeet too! I know how close we become to our pets & how important good care is. I have 2 dogs of my own & have devoted myself to giving them the best life possible. I am newly retired so have lots of time to take care of your beloved pets.

I will follow your instructions, making sure they are happy & safe. We will always have fun! I am retired and, thus, have quite a bit of time to walk & spend time with your beloved pets!! It’s more than a “job” for me. It’s a labor of love as well. I have a fenced in yard that our dogs use and would prefer walking and caring for your dogs at your home where they are more familiar with the surroundings.
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets need and want. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. It's all about the precious pets needs for me. I provide 5 star service and have a flexible schedule to meet your and your four legged friends needs! I don’t have a furry friend of my own but I love the opportunity to give a little love to all the pets I meet. Any dog big or small is awesome in my book.

“I had a work trip and Haley was such a big help walking our pup for the week while I was away. She was very communicative, accommodating, and sent updates everyday. We would definitely ask for her help to care for our pup in the future!”
About: I have pets my whole entire life from small animals to large. I also was in Vet Tech for a year & pet sit for a bunch of family members:) I currently work full-time at West Lebanon fit body Boot Camp. During the week I don’t go to work until 9/9:30, I also can take a lunch when needed! I leave work around 6pm. I can be flexible as needed, and sometimes can have schedule shifts. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in a calm, clean environment. I follow all care instructions closely, provide regular updates, and respect to your home. My goal is to create a low stress experience where your pet feel safe, comfortable and cared for at their own pace.

“Hannah was great! This was our first time leaving our dog, Taco, with her, and it was for 5 days. We were of course nervous leaving him with someone new for so long, but as soon as we walked through her door, we were reassured he was going to be in great care! She kept us updated with photos throughout, and it was clear he was treated like part of the family during that time. Taco is excited to visit again!”
“Goldie had a great stay at Ashley's home! Ashley was very communicative and sent us lots of photos of Goldie. I didn't feel like I needed to worry about Goldie while she was there. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely use her again!!”

“Emily was AMAZING! Our Gus had a great time! It was obvious that Emily not only took VERY good care of him but he was treated to his all-time favorite game of fetch and cooling off in the kiddie pool multiple times! He came home happy and tired. :) We highly recommend Emily, she goes above and beyond expectations, and we will definitely use her again! Thanks Emily!”
“Carter was an excellent sitter. He showed concern for my dogs health by reviewing my dogs eating habits to make sure no food would be bad for him. Oliver was in great spirits and seemed to have had a great visit full of love.”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.
“Holly and her family were wonderfully accommodating and helpful with our pet Sylvie. They have a wealth of experience looking after dogs, and really appreciate their individual personalities and needs.Communication was great and I would hve them watch Sylvie again, anytime.”
“Mellissa was outstanding! I’m very attached to my sweet Mountain Cur, Sugar Magnolia. Mellissa accommodated me with very short notice and was very gracious and helpful and made the process very easy for me. She sent me daily reports with photographs that made me feel at ease knowing Sugar was happy and being well cared for. She was out on trails every day getting exercise and socializing with other dogs. I would not hesitate to use Mellissa services again and give her the highest recommendation.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a stay-at-home mom to four kids, I’m home and available throughout the day—meaning your pup will always have company, love, and attention. Caring for pets is second nature in my home. Between my three dogs and four kids, there’s always love, play, and activity to go around. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, pets easily become part of our family rhythm and daily routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention—just as if they were my own. I also keep homes tidy and respect any specific instructions, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Mike and Laura were the absolute perfect fit for our little rescue chihuahua, Topo, who needs some specific care and management. We felt extremely comfortable and confident leaving him with them while we were on holiday and our dog came back even more relaxed and happy then when we dropped him off. Very communicative and they clearly showed our dog all the love and care and walks we could have asked for. Thank you! Topo is looking forward to coming back.”
