“Justin was an awesome sitter for our two cats during a weeklong trip out of state! He was obviously great with our pets, easy to communicate with, and flexible to meet our needs. He was very respectful of our home as well, and left it looking the same if not better than we did :) We booked fairly last minute, and it was such a relief meeting Justin, and knowing our boys would be well taken care of. Thanks again Justin, we would love to book again in the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.
“Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!”
About: My entire life I have always had an animal in my home. This is the biggest reason for my positive mind set an attitude towards animals. I am a strong believer that your pet is your baby. I’m currently working part time while attempting to get my real estate license as well. This gives me a very flexible schedule to be available when needed the best times for me are between 7 AM - 10 AM and 3 PM-6 PM Monday through Friday. On occasion, I am also available on the weekends. I currently have two cats and a dog that love and play with each other deeply. I love seeing the connection that these furbabies have with not only me but each other.

“I feel good leaving my precious Samuel with Rosemarie. I always get updates with pics and videos. If you're looking for a sitter to feel comfortable with, look no further. I've had trouble in the past with other sitters due to my drop off time being so early, but she's always ready for the drop off at the agreed upon time. That's really important if you have to be at work. Samuel always goes straight to the door when he gets out of the car. He enjoys spending his time with this sitter. It's been great!”

I have a 0.5 acre of land for your pets to play in as well as a safe neighborhood to do walks in. I will be home all day when pets are day boarding or staying.

About: Hi neighbors! I’m a calm, reliable, and patient pet caregiver based right across from Westgate Park. With me, your pet gets consistent attention, steady routines, and a peaceful environment—not just a quick visit and a rush out the door. I have cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 40 years, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing extra support, including insulin injections and attentive monitoring. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their rhythm. My home includes a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m steps away from the park for enriching walks. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. At home, I’m kept company by my senior dog Elle J, who has taught me a lot about gentle companionship, and an “adopted” outdoor cat, Alistair, who stops by like he owns the place (which, honestly, he might). If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help. I’m available weekends and most major holidays for morning, midday, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Living directly across from Westgate Park also allows me to provide consistent, enriching care without travel delays. Because I’m already home throughout the day, I can offer reliable timing, attentive care, and flexibility for pets who need more frequent visits or a steady routine. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medical needs such as medications or insulin injections. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level to ensure a calm and positive experience. In my home, pets benefit from a quiet, low-stress environment with a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time and close supervision throughout the day. I maintain a clean, secure space and introduce new environments gradually to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether in your home or mine, my approach is always patient, attentive, and focused on your pet’s wellbeing.
“This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and Michelle made it such an easy and great experience. Michelle provided lots of pictures and videos and made sure my Aussie got plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave my dog with her again.”

When I was 14 I began volunteering at non-profit animal shelters and when I was old enough I got a job working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital where I oversaw dogs, cats, and birds and handled their food and medications.

I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services every day except Tuesday, as well as doggy daycare on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As a full-time nursing student, I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and care. My background in healthcare means I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. While I may not have formal veterinary training, I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented approach that translates naturally into high-quality pet care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! 🐶💛 I can care for your fur babies in any environment. In my home I have a fenced in backyard where your baby can run free.

“Hands down the best! My first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Rose kept me up to date with many photos throughout the stay and had timely communication. Can't wait to book again!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Alexandria was really wonderful with my dog Henry! She was great at communicating both before and during my dog's stay. Henry seemed to have a great time and got along well with her sweet dogs!”
“Dawn and Robert were great with my dog! They have a private fenced in back yard, which is great for my dog who loves to be outside but who doesn't get along with other animals. I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated so I know he's being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Emily was great! I really appreciated the photos I got of my dog which she was in her care. Emily was very flexible with drop off and pickup which was very appreciated. I’m sure my dog will be back!”
“Nicole is so natural with dogs! Our first weekend stay and my pup seemed very relaxed. Nicole has a big fenced yard and allowed Brutus on her furniture, even slept in her bed. She sent me updates and photos. I would definitely use her again. Very grateful to have found her.”
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
“My two dogs recently had a weekend visit with Kimberly and they had such a great time. She was very friendly and attentive to their needs. I received plenty of updates with cute photos and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies in such great hands. We will be using her services again in the future. Thank you so much! 😊”
“Nicole was professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about caring for Kazo. Kazo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Nicole's services to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate, and dependable pet care.”
