“Hallie was amazing! We needed a place for Zoey to go at the last minute because my mother-in-law was admitted to the Hospice house and Hallie willingly took her in and took amazing care of her. It gave us the peace of mind we needed. Zoey settled right in at her house and was very content when we picked her up. I would highly recommend Hallie and we will certainly use her again.”
“Ionna took great care of our goldendoodle Bernadette while we were away. She responded to messages quickly and made sure Bernadette felt comfortable in her space. We’ll be happy to book her again!”
“Paris had an amazing time with Ms. Takilyah and we really are thankful for her keeping Paris while we had a road trip. She is amazing while we was on vacation she was sending us pictures of Paris have fun.”
“Jess was super accommodating to our travel schedule. While gone, she shared pictures to show how well our pup was settling in. It is obvious how much she enjoys her furry friends. Will definitely use her for our future pet sitting.”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. We have a few ESA pets in our home for my disabled son. I am very familiar with training, walking, feeding, giving medications, and senior care. I have been a dog nanny for the last 3 years and ready to grow. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of morning and afternoon time to give. I am available on weekends and holidays for walks, house sitting & pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and a bunch of toys and love to give. I love to play and work out with the pets if they like too. Water play in summer too. I am available to watch your pets at you home as well as do drop ins throughout the day.
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.
“Miriael took great care of Chase! He was taken on daily walks and got plenty of exercise. She was quick to respond and also accommodating with my schedule. Chase will definitely be back!”
About: I have taken care of my own personal dog since I was 8 years old, I bought her with my birthday money and she has been my best friend ever since. I’ve always had a love for animals and have dog sat a lot more in the recent years. I also have a cat I adopted several years ago that lives with me. I have experience administering medications and working with senior dogs, puppies, kittens etc. I also worked in a doggy daycare and got a lot of experience working there. I work from home, so my weekly schedule is very open and flexible. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whatever you need or want me to do no matter how absurd you think it seems, I do not mind doing it if it helps your fur baby feel at home. I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me and I want you to feel comfortable too.

“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter. She is dependable, kind, and my cats are even warming up to her after 1 vacation. My cats usually hide from strangers, so them coming out to see her is a wonderful bonus. I highly recommend Rebecca for all your pet sitting needs.”
“I highly recommend Olivia! She is reliable, responsible, and truly kind. She followed all the instructions, kept me updated, and took great care of both my cat and my home. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Most importantly, my cat loves her! She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to build trust with them. Knowing my cat was happy and well cared for made all the difference. I feel lucky to have found such a dependable and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Thanks for all you have done for my babies. Oreo can be a handful at times. House and litter boxes look good. If you need a reference just let me know. Just a little extra. Thanks Leslie”
“Emily was great and very communicative with sitting my cat, and reassured me that all the animals were getting along well with pictures! I’m happy that I found a sitter I can trust. If I need a sitter again, I’ll be calling her!”

About: Hi there! I am a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My background includes working in both veterinary and pet insurance settings, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with all types of medical needs and administering medications safely and correctly (oral, topical, injectable, and more). I am also comfortable with other critters as needed on a case by case basis. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a concentration in Equine Science and Companion Animals, and I’ve dedicated my time outside of my 9-5 to helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I currently have two dogs and a cat, a turtle, a tortoise, and 5 fish tanks. This is an animal loving home without a doubt. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind when you travel or need extra help. My goal is to make things easier by providing reliable, compassionate care you can trust, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home full-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. For boarding, that means I’m able to give them as much or as little attention as they want. Whether they’re social snugglers or prefer their own space. I keep a calm, comfortable environment and make sure their needs are always met. While we do have other animals in the home, I am able to provide a private place for your pet if needed, and typically do dedicate one private space for any cat boarders. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also easily fit in drop-in visits before or after work, ensuring pets get reliable care and consistent routines. Pet care naturally fits into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. All animals must be dog and cat friendly. If you're boarding a cat, they will NOT have access to our cat since they're a bit more difficult to socialize. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where the animal can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible regarding feeding times, litter maintenance, playtime, and quiet time! I also make sure they get the right balance of attention and independence based on their personality. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would my own. I pay close attention to any specific instructions for feeding, medications, or enrichment, and always take time to make pets feel loved and secure while their people are away. Communication is key for me, so I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind every step of the way.
“Ionna was great at communicating with me before booking and the morning of. She even took my pup on a ride, which she loves! Harley seemed very happy when I picked her up. Recently moved to the area so it is great to find a sitter that we can trust.”
About: Hi there! My name is Jess. I have two dogs (Cruiser & Cece) and am looking to care for other dogs at my home! I’ve always been a dog person, growing up several from a young age. I am at home and my husband travels and/or works from home. This gives me the ability to ensure your pet feels loved and welcomed! My dogs are my top priority and I'm sure yours are as well! Given that I am home most of the time - I/we have the ability to ensure your pet feels loved and welcomed! I am also flexible with my availability to best accommodate your needs. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should accommodate. We want your pet to feel comfortable and at home and we will keep as close to their normal, familiar routine as we can! Please have up to date vaccination records I have a fenced in yard and pool. Our dogs are allowed on our furniture and sleep in the bed. Cruiser tends to hang back and Cece dives right in!
“I was last minute searching for someone to watch my 3 month old puppy during the day. Emily responded very promptly. She allowed me to drop off Aspen early in the morning before I went to work. I was sent many pictures throughout the day and updates on how Aspen was doing. Emily spent some time working on training Aspen which is much appreciated. Aspen was very tired after spending the day at Emily’s house and playing with her dog. I would definitely use Emily for doggy day care again!”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too!

One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
