“My Missy RESCUED me, and so when i had to fly to Orlando to look at our new potential home, i was so nervous to leave her, as we havent been apart that long in the 3 years I've had her.

“Sandy was wonderful and took great care of our Sofie! She sent us daily updates and pictures. We would not hesitate to ask Sandy to dog sit for us in the future.”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Our flight got cancelled and Rachel had to keep our pup unexpectedly for another day! Rachel was great about the inconvenience which we greatly appreciated. Our dog Lily is old and not easy and Rachel ALWAYS makes us feel like our old girl is easy and a delight 😊 Such a relief while we are away.”

About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had them since I was 3 years old! Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and curious to shy and independent. I’m comfortable with their daily routines, feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles when they’re in the mood. I know cats can take some time to warm up to new people, so I’m patient and always let them come to me at their own pace. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care🐈⬛🐈🐱💕

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of keeping their routines consistent, giving them attention on their terms, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Along with caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat for families for weeks at a time and have experience caring for multiple cats in a home. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and companionship. I also work at ProMedica Flower Hospital with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care and quality time with your cat. I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I recently finished my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am doing some petsitting while I look for a permanent position. I will likely keep doing it in some capacity once I find one, just because I really enjoy meeting new furry friends :) I cannot offer boarding currently, however, I am happy to visit your pets in your home or take them out for a walk. I love to give pets the attention they deserve and form a new friendship with each creature I have the privilege of caring for.

I will definitely be getting ahold of you again in the future! 🥰”

“This was my first time using this site. I was nervous and unsure how everything would work. John'Asia came to meet me and my cat before my vacation. During my vacation she was on time. Bonded with my cat and really took care of my cat. I feel like my pet was in good hands. She sent me photos everyday and also wrote my cat's progress for that day. Next time I take a vacation I will definitely use John'Asia as the sitter for my pets.”

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”

“Maxi hadn’t been to Emily’s in a while and he was so excited when we dropped him off. Evidence right there of how great she is. She’s very responsive and keeps in touch with pictures and/or videos while Maxi is there. We don’t think you could find a more caring sitter.”
“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”
About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
“Comer & Joan put our minds at ease when they babysit our pups. They treat them like we treat them.- like family. They are very attentive to the needs of our dogs and their safety. But we have a dog that is very skittish and they are so patient with him if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies looking no further Comer & Joan they are the perfect people”
About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Mable must have enjoyed her stay because she was relaxed and not scared at all! I would highly recommend Rachel and her kids! Thank you again for keeping my baby while I was in town!”
“Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time! Her dog gets along with others and Tito was so excited to have a playmate for the day! She has experience with fostering dogs so she definitely knows how to care for them! Would recommend anyone to her for day care needs!!”
About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.
About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m a former nurse and now a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion extends to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care. As someone who is home throughout the day, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are things I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets the time, consistency, and care they deserve while they’re with me I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, energy level, and routine

We offer personalized care, playtime, and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy and entertained. Trust us to treat your pets like family! I have a job where I can pick my own hours and work for myself so I can watch pets anytime and be there for them whenever I need. I take very good care of pets in my home. I treat them as if they are my own. They have a large space to explore and run around in. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I have absolutely no problem taking them out on a leash to go potty or even a park.
About: I have had a dog in my home for as long as I can remember. I love caring for, playing with, and doing basic training with dogs of all kinds. I'm comfortable and confident to care for my own as well as other's. I'm happy to walk, play with outdoors, bathe, do basic training, and administer medication if needed. I currently stay home with my two young children. We leave the home once our twice a week for errands or activities. This leaves us home and available to care for and play with pups all day or for the majority of the day. We're in a slow season of life, so we're also available on the weekends in most cases. I have a large property for dogs to run and play. For those who need fencing, I am able to offer that as well or am able to take dogs out on the leash. Willing and and to crate dogs. We have two dogs of our own, they are livestock guardians and spend most of their time outside, but they are an integral part of our family and have been decently socialized with other dogs.
About: A life long animal lover, I've had a variety of pets throughout the past twenty years. I have cared for, trained and loved horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rabbits and rodents. I majored in Biology in college and took several animal science classes. I was a horseback riding instructor for summer camp in college, and have volunteered with different animal rescue orgs over the years. I currently work from home which gives me increased flexibility to provide care and attention to your pets. I enjoy getting out during the day to go for walks or romps around the yard to get some fresh air and exercise. I will treat your pet as I do my own, with kindness, compassion and lots of love. I have a fenced in yard and also will take the pets for a daily walk (dogs) to give them a change of scenery and additional exercise. I do have a 6 month pup that loves all animals and will be a great playmate. I also will provide regular updates and pictures for those clients who desire them.

About: I've raised and trained my doodle River (seen in photo), trained a rescued beagle (wouldn't recommend), and regularly been a babysitter/housesitter for 6 huskies (not afraid of getting hairy and dirty). I love all animals, and I have the patience of a saint. I have never had a shortage of love and care for dogs. My schedule is very fluid, and there will seldome be a time I can't fit in care. I'm punctual, available, and responsible. Availability will change with pet care scheduling. Visits will be frequent and timely, stays will be clean and respectful, and walks are just good for everyone involved. I was raised clean and well-mannered. My parents gave me the motto "Leave a place looking better than when you arrived". This is a strict virtue of mine. Your home is your home, and it will be treated accordingly.
About: I was an in home pet-sitter in college (1999-2003) where I would take care of their dogs, cats, and home while they were away. Honestly, it was the best job I've ever had! In addition, I have been a dog trainer since 1992. Training my own dogs is a passion I enjoy sharing through teaching in classes. Also, I worked in a few vet clinics over 18 years where I was a receptionist and veterinary assistant. Currently, I have a 15 year old papillon, 2 year old Brittnay, and 2 year old cat. These guys are my pride and joy, just like the other pets I've had since I was young!! Currently, I do work full to part time, but willing to adjust my schedule to fit your needs. My schedule is very flexible in the afternoon, evenings and weekends. In my home, the cat has free reign of the house. The dogs are crated when we are not able to be home and at night. My previous dogs may have had full reign, but right now my senior and young dogs cannot be trusted. When I visit someone's home, it is my priority to take care of your pet like you would if you were home!

Morning visits are from 8-11am and midday visits are from 1-5pm and evening visits are from 7-10pm. Thank you! I don’t do boarding, but with drop in visits, depending on the situation I always make sure your pet didn’t have some sort of accident. If they did I always make sure to clean it up and get them all cleaned up if needed. I make sure doors are locked at all times as well
About: From a very young age, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. When I was eight years old, I started small home-placement program for pets abandoned along rural roads, making sure they found safe, loving homes. With the help of a local veterinarian, I also cared for injured wildlife-nursing animals hit by cars to health and raising many of their orphaned babies. Growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience with a wide range of species and taught me how to read body language, build trust and stay calm in any situation. Many of the local farmers trusted me to take care of their livestock and four-legged family members while they went on vacation. Over the years I have continued my skills through veterinary medicine studies, reiki, pet massage therapy and a deep interest in natural, holistic care. These experiences shaped me into a patient, intuitive, and knowledgeable caregiver who understands animals on a deeper level and treats every pet with respect, gentleness and consistency. II currently work part‑time on weekdays and am free every day after 1 p.m., as well as fully available on weekends. I’m happy to walk, play with, and feed your pets, and I’m comfortable working outdoors in all types of weather as long as your pet is, too. I don’t mind helping with cleanup—whether that’s backyard potty messes, litter boxes, or small‑animal cages—so your pet’s space stays fresh and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, playtime, medications, and comfort habits—so their day feels predictable and stress‑free. I take time to learn their cues, respect their boundaries, and match their energy, whether they need quiet companionship or active engagement. I keep your home environment clean and safe by refreshing water, tidying feeding areas, cleaning litter boxes or small‑animal cages, and wiping up any potty messes in the yard. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and that your pet has everything they need before I leave. My goal is to maintain the same level of care, calm, and attention they’re used to when you’re home.

“Jessica was a wonderful, professional and extremely caring sitter / walker for my dog Leo. She was extremely thoughtful and made sure he was walked, fed and cared far exactly as I wished, and I am so thankful she took such good care of him while I was gone. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time with a sitter and she alleviated all of my concerns and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much Jessica! Leo had a wonderful time with you. Looking forward to having you come back and walk Leo again!”
About: Hi I am Cindie, I am mom to two rescued girls that I have adopted, one is a Yorkie and the other is a" Morkie" which is a Maltese Yorkie mix, they are both under the age of 11 and are very lovable and easy-going and love to be around other dogs, they would love to share their large back yard with you! It is completely fenced in and gated with lots of lush grass to run and play in. There is a large wooden deck connected to the back of the house that gives them free reign in and out of the house to access of the doggie door anytime day and night, We have pet friends on both sides of us, our neighborhood is very pet friendly, we have lots of friends that live here that would love to come out and visit with us when you come over! Inside of the house is very comfortable also, we are allowed on the furniture, we have lots of toys to play with and we get special treats like carrots and chicken when we are good ! Our mom has lots of experience taking care of dogs, we didn't get to know our older "sister " Buffy,...because she crossed over the "Rainbow Bridge" before we were adopted, but every night the lights shine on her "Memorial Tree" in our backyard where she is "sleeping",.. Wayback in the day, Dr. Dillon at Saint Francis Veterinary Hospital took on Buffy when she was having problems getting the rest of her large litter of nine puppies delivered, She was One of Dr. Dillon's very first patients about 20 years ago, and so you see our big sister "Buffy" is like a local celebrity because she helped Dr. Dillon get his start in Veterinarian Surgery...Wow!

“Sandy was wonderful and took great care of our Sofie! She sent us daily updates and pictures. We would not hesitate to ask Sandy to dog sit for us in the future.”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Our flight got cancelled and Rachel had to keep our pup unexpectedly for another day! Rachel was great about the inconvenience which we greatly appreciated. Our dog Lily is old and not easy and Rachel ALWAYS makes us feel like our old girl is easy and a delight 😊 Such a relief while we are away.”
“Celene was fantastic! She’s easy going and flexible with the pick up and drop off. She loves dogs and took such great care of Vinnie. We received multiple updates a day with photos. Vinnie got along with Penny really well. Would recommend and use her again!”
“Lillian and Jeremy are excellent sitters to my dog Smokey! They are always my number one choice everytime I leave town. My dog Smokey loves them and their two lovely dogs that are his friends now! They are excellent communicators and are very prompt with responding, and they also send me picture updates of my pet. I will continue to rebook with them!”
“Janelle was great. Laid back and yet her animals are the center of her world you can tell. And she made my Mia right at home. Giving her special attention. Thanks.”
“Edgar makes my dog feel at home and works well with his personality! My boy always comes home tuckered out and it makes me feel good to know that he’s well cared for while I’m at work or out of town.”
“Fenway's stay with Cindy went great! We appreciate how much attention she has on sticking to his normal routine. We were able to bring his crate, toys, food/water bowls no problem. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. I LOVED getting pictures of him, he looked so happy. We will definitely be utilizing Cindy's boarding services when we go out of town, highly recommend!”
