“Tracy was such a wonderful sitter for our doggo. Even when our pup needed some medical attention, Tracy kept us we'll informed, took our dog to our vet and administered meds appropriately. It was reassuring knowing someone was caring for our dog as well as we would.”
“The sweetest and kindest cat sitter ever. Connie took absolutely amazing care of my cat Honeybear. I felt very safe knowing that Honeybear was in Connie's care. She sent me daily pictures and videos of my kitty, and did all the duties perfectly and made my Honeybear a very happy kitty. Amazing care from an amazing person!”

“Chelsea is amazing! Her and her family took wonderful care of my baby and I will definitely be contacting her again if Binx needs a place to stay. She even made us treats! So thankful for kind people like her:)”
“You know when you find a gem! Judy was that gem for us. We met ahead of time due to my concerns of our pets getting along. My concern was my dog that has not spent much time around other dogs. It all came together so seamlessly. Judy is dog experienced. She is comfortable and knowledgeable about caring for other dogs. Our pets got along just fine. We HIGHLY recommend Judy and expect to use her again in our future.”

“I absolutely loved the fact that they made pup feel like family, I got pictures of updates and in all he was with his kids, hiking, on the couch, Cedar loved being there, when I picked him up he looked like a happy camper compared to when I pick him up from his other boarding facility. Very happy with this beautiful family. Thank you so much!”

My dogs are part of our family, and I trust Lynne fully with my fur babies. Thank you, Thank you! Jasper and Whidbey loved their stay. Andrea”

“Allison did a great job with the twice-daily drop-in visits for my cat, while I was away for four days. She followed the instructions I left and sent texts at the start and end of each visit. She also sent photos for every drop-in and replied to my texts promptly. She was reliable, consistent and trustworthy. I felt comfortable with her on my home and caring for my cat, and I’ll hire her for my next trip without hesitation.”
“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”
About: I've been a cat lover since childhood and currently care for a rescue cat I adopted last year. This experience has taught me how to help a previously traumatized animal build trust, adjust to a new environment, and develop healthy routines. I understand the patience required when working with rescue cats and how to read their body language and comfort levels. A few years ago, I helped my neighbor locate and safely relocate a mother cat and her litter of newborn kittens who had taken shelter in the woods. This experience gave me insight into feline maternal behavior and the delicate care required for very young kittens and protective mothers. I learned how to approach scared or defensive cats calmly and safely. I'm comfortable with all aspects of cat care including feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration, and providing both active play and quiet companionship. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, so I'm committed to maintaining their normal schedule and respecting their individual personalities - whether they're social butterflies or prefer to observe from a distance.
About: I have a lot of personal experience caring for cats and truly understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have 3 cats of my own and 1 cat back home with my parents, so I am very familiar with feeding routines, litter care, playtime, grooming, and giving cats the space or attention they need. I know how to administer medication when needed, and I am comfortable deep cleaning litter boxes and keeping their space fresh and clean. I have a calm, patient energy, which helps me connect with shy, anxious, playful, or independent cats. I love cats and will always care for them with gentleness, respect, and attention to detail.
“Jill was great to work with and very good about responding quickly. There were a few planning mishaps on my end when preparing for my trip and Jill was able to work with me to find solutions. Everything went well while she took care of my cats and she sent several great pictures while she checked on them!”
About: Hi, my name is Stella & I love dogs! I recently adopted a pup named Winnie - she is a big lovable goof with a sweet personality, who loves to play, and equally loves to chill and sleep. She gets along well with other dogs, so long as they don't exhibit aggressive behavior toward her. *****If I am considered for a house sitting job, please take note that Winnie would *maybe* need to join (or perhaps if you have a low-key pet, I could hop back and forth between caring for Winnie at my home and caring for your pet at your home). My husband does help with house sitting jobs though, so it is possible that Winnie wouldn't absolutely need to join but it would be ideal if that was an option. I love all breeds, large and small alike. Each dog has their own personality and I adjust my service based on what your dog needs. Cuddles, play time, belly rubs or space? Whatever works for me! I provide the best care and will give your dog all the love and attention he or she wants. *I have much experience dog sitting/walking - 15 years! I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs (and everywhere in between). I look forward to meeting your best friend(s). (: I take my dog on walks 2-3x per day, or replace one of these walks with a trip to the dog park (if it's nice outside!). I can only dog sit at your home as my dog is an ESA and the only dog allowed on my property. When dropping in or house-sitting, I love to take dogs to the park, on trails, or just a walk around the neighborhood! I adjust my care giving based on what you/your dog prefer - if you'd rather me play fetch or tug-of-war in home rather than going outside, that's perfectly fine too! I will let your dog outside to go to the bathroom as needed but I know every dogs abilities and preferences are different.
About: I’ve had and taken care of my own cats as well as others for friends, family, and clients for a decade. I have experience administering medications as well as the usual cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playing, etc! As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your fur friends!!!!
About: I've lived with my dog, Avery, for about 10 years back home, have cared for family friends' dogs when needed, have participated in fetch-a-friend multiple times with Heartland Humane Shelter, and I am very comfortable around cats as well. I can provide a very active few days running or walking for your pets, or I can keep them homely company while you are away. Since I have a car, if desired, I can take your pets to the park or just on short car rides. If your pets have any medications required, or specific eating/dosage times, I will make sure to set alarms to stay on time and dependable. My main job right now is DoorDash, so any time you need me to be available is free. My schedule can allow for week-long petcare, if needed, or just a short walk :3 I try my best to be friendly, understanding, and patient with any pets I interact with; if a pet is trying to tell me something, I will pay my best attention! Additionally, if a pet needs some space while adjusting to me or the lack of usual people around, I can provide that space while still keeping an eye on them.
“Elly did a great job in a difficult situation. The extremely hot weather made our cat a bit difficult. Elly was right on top of things, sending her concerns about Winnie's ouchy behavior. We communicated frequently to find ways for Elly to make Winnie feel better in the heat. Daily pictures helped me see some of Winnie's issues. All was good due to Elly's good attention to details.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and current cat owner of two wonderful cats, I understand how important it is to know your pets are receiving excellent care while you're away. I have years of experience caring for my own cats as well as watching and caring for other people's cats. My experience includes feeding special diets, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring health and behavior, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and reserved, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is always to reduce stress, maintain routines, and provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets.
“We had to be away from home from 3:30 am until 7:30 pm and Hannah gratefully came by our house a few times to day to feed and visit with Shasta as well as take her for a walk. I'm so grateful Hannah could do this for Shasta and us. Hannah is wonderful!”
About: I’ve owned a cat, from kitten to adult. I’ve been around cats my whole life. I know they are all different and can sometimes come with very specific needs - like mashing and flicking up food to fresh kibble only! I can assist in grooming for friendly kitties and can scoop the poop every day.
“Lauren was awesome!! After adopting our newest pack member, my fiancé and I were nervous about leaving the dogs crated all day. Lauren did a pre-check of the yard to ward off squirrels, and let the dogs go potty without any issues! We are so relieved to have a reliable human to check on our doggos while we work all day. She even got our new guy, Memphis, into his crate without too much coaxing!!”

“We needed doggy day care for our two dogs and Joe was wonderful with communication from the start to the end. Send updates and videos. Happy we found someone local to watch our pups. Will be using him for boarding our dogs for few days soon! Thanks!”
“Our 10 month GSD puppy came home exhausted and happy after staying with Tracy and her dogs for the day. She was an expert during the meet and greet, making sure all dogs were comfortable with each other. She has a huge dog friendly backyard for playtime, I felt so comfortable leaving our dog in her care!”
“Shelby did a great job with my sweet old dog. He felt so comfortable, and I could tell that he was excited to see her by the way he was prancing at the front door when we arrived. There was even a special gift in his travel bag when we got home and a thank you card! I will definitely use her services again, he loves her.”
“Chelsea was great with my dog, she was very responsive and you can tell how much she loves dogs! My pup came home very tired and happy from running around with her boys all day. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Olivia was responsive, diligent, and caring with Melon! She met up with us in a park earlier in the week to make sure they’d get along, and all went really smoothly. Melon was clearly super comfortable even though it was her first time visiting Olivia’s. I’d readily trust her with our pup again!”
“Nancy is such a sweet person and was so helpful while we were visiting the coast. She watched my baby boy for a day so we could go to the aquarium and other places we can’t bring our dog. I was really hesitant booking an out of state rover without meeting people first but nancy made me feel that my boy would be in safe hands. He’s a really shy pup but when i picked him up he showed affection to Nancy as we were leaving so i know that he was treated kindly and had a lot of fun! She sent photos of him playing in the pool and taking naps ? I would highly recommend booking Nancy for your next daycare need!”
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
About: I’ve been in love with cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. In my home we always had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I cared for four family friends’ dogs in California the last couple of years. I love taking dogs on walks, and play time and cuddles with cats too. I have a mini poodle and a cat at the moment, they are best friends :) I am an RN but I am not working at the moment, so I spend a lot of time at home, so message me and we can see if what you need works out❤️ I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your dog. I am also happy to play with them using their favorite toys! I am a nurse and I live with my husband who is a doctor (he also adores dogs). I am readily available to provide walks and companionship to your beloved pet on my days off. I would only dog sit your dog if I was not going to work, since when I do work in the hospital I’m gone all day and would not want to leave them for that long. So, on my days off and I dog sit and give them all the attention! I live in a 800 sq ft apartment overlooking a large park which offers an ideal space for playtime. I also live near a beautiful pond great for walking and exploring. I prefer dogs that will not sleep on my bed, but I’m ok with them going on the sofa.
“Plain and simple, Madison was nothing less than a pure blessing caring for my puppy Sailor. She didn’t simply care for her, she made her part of her family. Finding Madison (Maddy) to care for my pup was an answered prayer. I cannot sing her praise enough! 5++++++++ stars!!”
“I was a little nervous to leave my dog Lucy with a sitter because she is elderly and has special needs. Jennifer did a great job and I could tell that Lucy was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Jennifer is a lovely person and I will not hesitate to leave Lucy with her again.”
“Even in last minute request, she accept us and well take care of my babies🤍 My little one looks had fun with friend(lizzie’s family dogs) while big sis being anxious😅 I believe my girl will enjoy next time!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since before I could walk! I started pet sitting for my neighbors when I was a kid and have spent most of my life helping out my friends and family with their pets. I am a huge animal lover and also very active! I often pet sit for my friends and love to take their dogs on walks and runs. I live in Albany with my cat, Bill, and work from home a lot so I have lots of availability and would love some more dog time in my life! I work from home four days a week (wednesday’s i am in office) so i have a lot of availability to spend time with your dog! I am also an active runner and walker, so I can get your pup outside and get out energy if that’s what they need, or we can cuddle up inside and play or hang out :) I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with lots of grassy areas and walking paths around. I do have a cat, he gets along well with dogs, but your pup would need to be okay with cats! I have a very gentle approach to dogs and respecting their boundaries is so important to me. Depending on what you prefer for your dog, they are free to roam my apartment and be on furniture, unless you prefer them not to be! I have some experience training so if you’re in the middle of building habits, i will adhere to those practices :)
About: I grew up on a small farm with many pets and I think thats where my love for animals started. I have always had a dog and I could not imagine my life without them! I have a years experience working at a dog boarding facility (my personal heaven) and can provide references if that is something you’re interested in! I ensure when tending for your pet that you will be updated with the care and love they are getting via pictures and text updates. I am also experienced in properly administering medication/shots and caring for sick/elderly dogs. I take my dog on 2 longer walks a day and of course give potty breaks in between when needed, your dog will join us of course! When I have the time I enjoy going on hikes so I hope your dog does too! I make sure to follow the instructions you provide with care, I know routine is important especially for more anxious pups. This includes feeding/walking on time, and accommodating any preferences requested!

About: Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, giving me experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, and care needs. Combined with over 10 years of caring for animals, this taught me the patience, consistency, and attention every pet deserves. Hi! I'm Jaedyn, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered more than 10 dogs, and I loved helping care for them. Being around so many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have years of experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals. I raised, bred, and showed rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of recognizing health concerns, maintaining consistent routines, and building trust with animals through calm, attentive care. I'm especially comfortable with shy or nervous pets and enjoy taking the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers quiet companionship, I'll meet them where they're most comfortable. With my flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention while you're away. I'll treat your pet like they're my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do my best to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I volunteer part-time, I'm able to adjust my schedule around your pet's routine whenever possible. Whether that means multiple potty breaks, long walks, playtime, medication, or overnight house sitting, my goal is to keep their day as normal as possible while you're away. For house sitting, I can often spend the majority of the day with your pet if that's something they'd benefit from. If I'll need to step away, I'll always communicate that with you beforehand so there are no surprises. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Before every booking, I take time to learn their normal schedule, favorite activities, medications, feeding routine, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I'm especially patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that some animals need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. I never rush interactions and always let pets build trust at their own pace. During walks and visits, I'm careful about securely attaching leashes before opening doors, checking gates, and paying close attention to my surroundings. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, following your instructions carefully and making sure everything is secure before I leave. You'll also receive regular updates and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have professionally worked as a house/pet sitter for 3 years but I have cared for my own for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and many livestock. I have trained many of my puppies so I can handle them and have cared for many senior animals having to give them special diets and medications. My mom is a CVT and I have worked for a vet so I can handle and/or know when to call in bad situations. I will be starting school in September so I will have time between classes to care for pets. I will always make time or stay longer if a pet needs that. I make sure all animals are feeling safe wherever they may be. I make sure energetic animals get played with, shy dogs get there space, and older more lethargic dogs get there rest. I change my care based on the animal and always give them the care and love they need.
About: I bond easily with cats and dogs. I am gentle, patient and give 100% to all the fur babies in my care. I enjoy entertaining and caring for these special critters. While with me, I am observant and provide the kind of interaction the pet wants. This could be anything from a massage to hiking and play at a beach with a variety of toys. I always want your pet to feel warm and welcome. I believe walking is the best medicine, so I’m game to go out no matter the weather. I don’t feed people food to them but am happy to give appropriate treats and lots of praise. I have been taking care dogs for 15 years. Dogs are considered my family bond
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and have worked with dogs from energetic puppies to older dogs that need more care and other medications.

“Tracy was such a wonderful sitter for our doggo. Even when our pup needed some medical attention, Tracy kept us we'll informed, took our dog to our vet and administered meds appropriately. It was reassuring knowing someone was caring for our dog as well as we would.”
“The sweetest and kindest cat sitter ever. Connie took absolutely amazing care of my cat Honeybear. I felt very safe knowing that Honeybear was in Connie's care. She sent me daily pictures and videos of my kitty, and did all the duties perfectly and made my Honeybear a very happy kitty. Amazing care from an amazing person!”

“You know when you find a gem! Judy was that gem for us. We met ahead of time due to my concerns of our pets getting along. My concern was my dog that has not spent much time around other dogs. It all came together so seamlessly. Judy is dog experienced. She is comfortable and knowledgeable about caring for other dogs. Our pets got along just fine. We HIGHLY recommend Judy and expect to use her again in our future.”

My dogs are part of our family, and I trust Lynne fully with my fur babies. Thank you, Thank you! Jasper and Whidbey loved their stay. Andrea”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for and feeding many animals. I bring hands-on experience, patience, and love, ensuring every pet feels happy and safe. I’m a college student with mostly online classes, so I have a flexible schedule! I love spending lots of time playing, cuddling, and caring for pets every day. I live in an apartment with three friends who also love animals! Together, we create a safe, clean, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and cared for.
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, often more than people if I’m honest haha. I will love your babies like they are my own! Crate trained or not crate trained are welcome. They won’t be spending much time, if any, in it unless that’s part of the requested care. I lost both my rescues, the most recent almost 2 years ago. It’s an indescribable loss. My heart isn’t ready to own another animal yet, but I truly have so much love to give them. I’m the type that let my dogs on any and all furniture, celebrated birthdays, and went on special trips and outings I know they would love! I’ve always owned animals, specifically dogs, my entire life. I believe they are the purest form of love. I’ve watched animals for friends and family, but my senior dog made out difficult towards the end of his life to have any other animals around. I live in a private community with 2 gated, grassy dog parks inside it. While I have your baby, please feel free to connect anytime you want an update or reassurance that they are safe and sound! I work at a spa part time, and also from home. I have plenty of walk and spoil time! I’m available evenings and nights, I’m not away at work longer than 5 hours at a time a few days a week. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I want them, and you to feel safe and relaxed 😌 I’m a sucker for animals. I’m sure your pet will figure that out in the first 5 minutes haha. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
