“Bre was so excellent with watching my cat while I was out of town! A great communicator and care giver - my cat was so obsessed with her from day one. Could not thank her enough for stopping by over Christmas week and will definitely re hire again!”
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Danielle is truly one of a kind, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We are very selective about who we trust to care for our cats, and from the moment we met her, we knew they were in the best hands. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away, which is something that’s priceless as pet parents. Her communication is exceptional. Every update was thoughtful, detailed, and reassuring, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cared about our cats. She didn’t just stop at feeding and checking on them—she spent quality time with them, paid attention to their individual personalities and needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe, loved, and comfortable. Danielle also took wonderful care of our home, paying attention to every little detail and treating everything with the same care and respect she showed our pets. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. We can honestly say Danielle will be our forever pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with any of our fur babies, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. She is an absolute gem, and we are beyond grateful to have found her. Thank you, Danielle, for taking such incredible care of our family. 🐾❤️”

“Hannah was great! She provided a lot of updates and pictures and was willing to book with me at the absolute last minute, I felt very confident my pup was in good hands. Thanks!!”
About: I have a wide array of experience with caring for dogs and cats—from the corgi puppy who barks through the night to the one eyed 18 year old deaf and blind Shih Tzu who just needed love and my current 9 year old rescue who loves cuddles and walks. I have experience administering medication, working with tricky meal routines, cleaning and sanitizing after potty accidents, and giving lots of love and pets. I am a teacher at a local high school and am free all day every day during the summer and before 8:00 am and after 4:30 pm on weekdays during the school year as well as full availability on the weekends. My pets are an integral part of my family and I start and end the day with a dog walk. I have a fenced backyard. There IS a pool, but I also have a 10x10 cage back there for potty breaks if you have a water loving dog that you don’t want in the pool. I have my own four legged crew: Ebby the funny fat cat and Teddy the sweet rescue dog. We do have stairs in our home but if you have an older dog that struggles with arthritis, I can stay downstairs with them while they are in my home.
About: With 5 years of experience caring for pets for friends and family I enjoy being able to meet new pets. I have cared for pets overnight in my home, drop-in care, and last minute sitting.

I am a remote worker with the ability to be around your pets all day and let them out to my fenced backyard to play and potty breaks.

I have a fully fenced yard and I am at home all day giving me the flexibility to be present while I care for your pets.

I am available weekdays, weekends and holidays. If you need me, I am available to help. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of grass for potty breaks and playtime. I have a friendly Yorkiepoo and Toy Maltipoo who really enjoy playing with other dogs. If your dog loves to play, our pups will be happy to oblige, or they can take it easy on a comfy doggy bed or sofa. We take daily walks and weekends we go to the nearby dog parks to socialize. We have a large crate that is available for use if needed, so you don't have to worry about bringing it if your dog needs one. My children and I have teamed up to give your pup the best experience while staying with us weather it be day play or boarding.

About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind.

About: I love dogs! I have three of my own—if I could, I would have 300. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for over 30 years, and my experience spans all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and following special routines. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious, high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and patience, as well as shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, reassuring presence. My animal experience isn’t limited to dogs. I’ve also cared for horses and rabbits, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, safety, and attention to detail. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their comfort, routine, and well-being. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, extra medical attention, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have reliable availability in the evenings on weekdays. I’m also fully available during school holidays, long breaks, and throughout summer vacation. During those times, I have flexible daytime and extended availability to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. If you have a pet who needs consistent evening care during the school year or more frequent attention during breaks and summer, I’m happy to help and keep their routine as smooth as possible.

About: Hi! 🥰 My name is Rachael! I am a very energetic, patient, and creative person who lives to love and be around animals. Dogs are my favorite animal! I have cared for animals for 13 years. I’ve grown up around many other animals as well and cared for them. Such as cats, fish, and some reptiles. I do offer to bathe your babies if needed. With me, your children will receive appropriate care. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and always just a phone call away, face time is also available so minimum supervision is required. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, fun, and stable environment for your sweet babies!! I look forward to hearing from your families soon! 🐶🥰 I’m currently enrolled at James Madison High School. I do have a lot of free time right now until I reach my money savings goal to continue school. I’m not providing care for animals in my home right away but will provide care in my home as soon as possible for both cats & dogs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and currently have my heart dog! I have a little bit of experience in veterinary science. I am comfortable and confident with any size/breed dog and any age. I currently work part time in a bakery and will need advanced noticed to accommodate my work schedule for your sitting needs. My typical work day is 4am - 12pm or 8-5, so I am willing to request off or work through the sit, whichever you prefer! I provide frequent potty breaks (typically every hour) and play with your babies all day. I also love to let them sleep in bed or on the couch with me.
About: I have two large breed dogs, and I can train dogs to do basic commands. I have taken care of animals ranging from rabbits and goats to horses. I have much experience with senior cats. I have cared for a cat for 17 years who was blind, and I just had to put down my 15 yr old cat due to thyroid issues for which I gave her meds twice a day. I have also bottle fed baby animals and had to assist one of my dogs when she had a litter of 11 puppies, which I cared for on my own. My only job right now is caring for my two dogs and my cat! So I have plenty of time to pet sit and or walk pets. I will care for the pets in my client's home according to their exact specifications. I can't bring other animals into my home as I already have 3 pets.
About: I grew up with pets of all kinds. I've always been the first person all my friends would call to take care of their pets. I've watched chickens, ducks, hourses, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, snakes ect. I never thought to make it a business I always just did it out of my love for animlas and knowing they would be safe with me. Now that I have more knowledge and experience it just makes me so happy I can help each and everyone of you while you are away doing something I absolutely love. ❤️ Im so incredibly thankful to say this is my full income so I'm home all day to play with your pets and keep them company at all hours if need to be! I take them on walks 3 times a day plus backyard time. Fed normally twice unless told otherwise, and endless play time with their breeds or endless snuggles. Cats are 24/7 off the walls so I tend to have to keep them occupied as well sometimes even put a leash on them for an adventure 🤭

“I had never hired a dog walker until I met Joshna and her family. Before our 1st scheduled walk they came by for a quick meet and greet which was very nice and really took the time to get to know our fur baby. I now book them on a regular basis and I can’t express enough how great they are!! I’d definitely recommend them to friends and fam!”
