“Dorothy is the best. We’ve tried other sitters but she’s the only one that Aurora likes. She send updates and photos and my dog is always excited to see her and Daisy. ❤️”
“Megan is my go to sitter. My dog wasn't feeling too well on his last visit and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands with Megan. She is also always gracious in any changes that happen in my business travels and willing to work with me. Thanks Megan!”
“Tony is the best. He was extremely accommodating and even took the time to meet us and Loki before boarding him. Tony’s training background was definitely a big selling point as well. He constantly kept us updated on Loki and he provides so much feedback which helped us become better owners. We will be using Tony again in the future.”
“Kristi was amazing and very accommodating to our dogs needs. They had a great time and were very well taken care of. I definitely recommend Kristi to take care of your fur babies.”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Katrina is phenomenal, and we definitely would trust her to take care of our furbabies. Without asking, she sends not just one, but a lot of good pictures with updates on how our Eleos and Asya were doing. Our babies looked happy and never sad. When we picked them up, and when we arrived home, they are beyond satisfied and presented with much better behaviors. Katrina’s furbaby Pogo is well trained and well behaved and our babies probably was trained by example from just observing Pogo. We thank her for everything, for being kind to us and to our babies, and for being a good person! Katrina is highly recommended.”
“Ms. Martha sent daily pictures of my baby boy, which I really appreciated. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which helped put me at ease, and her communication throughout the stay was good. I appreciated the care and updates she provided.”
“Lindsey was absolutely awesome with watching our dog Ace. She’s super responsive, attentive, and accommodating. Ace always has an absolute blast when he stays with her and he always get excited when I pull up in the driveway. Whether its playing with other dogs, fetch, walking or going on runs… Lindsey and her family will make sure your dog never has a dull day and plenty of stimulation.”
“My Mei was well taken care of Joel and his wife took very good care communicated every single day sent photos the show progress that they were making with my baby and I was very satisfied with her. She was very well behaved when she came home and I would definitely rebook with them again. it was like she was being taken care of by family.”
“Josh is always awesome! Takes great care of my 2 labs and he even took my Coosa to vet due to blood in her urine while I was out of town. Made sure my girl was taken care of. Josh is super awesome with his animals and treats mine like one of his own. Couldn’t recommend him anymore!”
“Krysta was absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet beforehand and our pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative and flexible and kept us up to date with photos and videos. Our pup can be a Velcro dog but it didn’t bother her and it was very obvious our pup had a great time with her. We will not hesitate to reach out to Krysta again for our pet sitting needs.”

“Megan was amazing at taking care of Ellie and making sure she got plenty of playtime in. Ellie is only 5 months so she requires a bit more attention and play which I can tell she got plenty of. Megan sent me updates, photos, and videos and was very easy to reach. I will be booking with Megan if she’s available in the future.”

“Lili took care of our 3 cats while we went away for our honeymoon. She came 2 times a day to care for them. We couldnt have picked a better sitter! She went above and beyond and we didnt have to worry about our kitties while we were away. She was so responsive and went out of her way to get photos of all 3 cats. Even when they hid under the bed! Thank you Lili for everything!”
“We requested last minute to watch our cats & it has been nothing but amazing! We had a meet & greet prior which helped my anxiety. Super super communicative and very detailed reports - also takes cute photos! Will definitely go back!!”
About: I absolutely love animals and am committed to taking care of and loving your pets. I have had an English Bulldog for 3 years now, so I am accustomed to both the playfulness of a puppy and the stubbornness of a bulldog. I have been around the block with doggy health issues and training, so I am more than happy to accommodate special training or care requests. While I do not have an inclosed yard, I would love to take your dog to the dog park or out for walks if requested. I would always have your dog on a leash whenever we are not in an inclosed area. I am willing to board/dog sit two dogs from the same household although my profile says differently. It just depends on the size, breed, and age of the dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mostly my own and some family friends’ when they go on vacation. I’ve mostly dealt with smaller dogs but I have no problem with larger dogs. I currently own two dogs and one is a senior dog so he requires a little more attention. I can do basic care such as feeding and going for walks but I can also bathe if necessary. I currently work part-time and am in school for my bachelor’s degree. I’m taking a few summer courses but they are online so they don’t require too much of my time. My work schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have some time to work things out. I’ve done feeding and walks, whether it be for the restroom or just to get some exercise in. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard so my dogs are able to freely roam so they don’t like to go on walks much but we do take them out from time to time. I also play outside with them on a daily basis since they enjoy that. I usually bathe and groom my own dogs as well as some other dogs people have asked me to do.
About: Hi! I'm a 28 y/o dog mom new to the area! I have a sweet little 10lb cavapoo who I am obsessed with and who adores other dogs! I'm home all day (Army wife life) so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, whether it's playing with them or taking them on walks around the neighborhood. I'd love to explore the area with your pet, or just give them the snuggles they’re used to while you’re away. My dog is a rescue who I raised from puppyhood—so I don’t mind accidents, teething, training, etc. I’m vigilant about safety with dogs, especially around cars and roads, so you can rest assured knowing I won’t let anything happen to your pup. I also grew up with two very energetic dogs in my home and I know how important pets are to each family. I'm happy to get to know your pet and any quirks they might have--places to avoid, special care they require, anything at all! Little more about me: I’m from the Midwest and have my Bachelor’s from U of M! I spent the last few years in the Washington, DC area with my husband as he went through medical school & residency. We’re an Army family but still hold our Midwest roots dearly :) I work part-time remotely, so I’m home and available all day and in the evenings. I’m happy to stop by to play with your pup and take a break from work, or go on my evening hot-girl walk with your dog by my side! I will treat your pet like my own when they’re in my home! We love to play, wrestle, and snuggle on the couch! My dog has free rein so she lounges on the couch, her beds, our bed, etc. Your dog is welcome to do the same! We can assess how the dogs get along and decide how to leave them if I have to step outside—we also have baby gates where I can separate the dogs if that’s best. I do not have any children so there aren’t little toys for your dog to get into, and I’ll keep all food and shoes put away. I like to think my apartment is quiet and cozy, so I’ll be sure to provide a calm environment for your pet! I am able to go to your home and meet your pet in their familiar space. I am open to all notes and tidbits about your home, your neighborhood, etc so that your pet has the best experience with me.
“Olivia was fantabulous!! I was nervous about using a service to take care of my big old guy. I have always had family and friends available to take care of my fur babies until now. After meeting Olivia, I was able to rid my anxiety. She sent lots of pics. She loved on my fur baby at each of the visits she made while I was out of town. She sent updates and even gave him his meds. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.”

We want you to feel comfortable with us as well as allowing us to take care of your baby.

“Jaeger had a good time with Reagan. He came home happy but tired. He must have gotten plenty of exercise because it takes a great deal to wear him out. We will definitely be back. Reagan was informative, kind and kept us up to date on how Jaeger was doing.”
About: I’m a dependable animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and basic care routines. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets because I treat every animal like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide a calm, reliable environment where pets get plenty of attention, activity, and love. I have plenty of time to care and love your dog. I treat every animal as if it was my own. My home is also spacious and I have a large fenced in back yard with a back porch. Your dog will get all the love and cuddles while you’re away and be in great hands! I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room. I also live in a reasonably sized home and have two young children that will love and play with them. I will have a crate if you want me to crate your dog. If not, they will be able to hangout with me or on a dog bed! 😊
About: My genuine interest and love for my own babies coupled with their happy, carefree, and free-roam attitudes makes me a prime & the right candidate to be your pet's new friend. I have two furbabies that I absolutely love & adore. I understand the importance and severity of wanting them to go... unfortunately, they simply can't for whatever reason. So, you do the next best thing, you hire me. Give me the opportunity to extend my love, adoration and safe environment to your furbaby (canine or feline). If you hire me, worrying about your pet will be the least of your worries, as it should be. Help me to help you give your pet a vacation-like stay while you're away. You'll be glad you did. I'm retired so I'm home all day. I have lots of time to hang, lounge and play with your furbaby(ies) and I'll enjoy every minute In my home and client's home, the treatment is basically the same. Furbabies are given cuddles, hugs, and attention. They are fed, walked and allowed to run around and squabble in the back yard.
About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. What really sets me apart is that we live a low-tox lifestyle—so my home is a clean, pet-safe space free of harsh chemicals and full of love. Your dog will be treated like family here, surrounded by sweet kids, fresh air, and a relaxed, playful environment. Whether they need a walk, a nap buddy, or a consistent routine, I’ve got it covered—just like I do for my own little crew. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be with your pup all day. We’re a very active family that loves spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of attention, fresh air, and playtime!

“She was very friendly, updated me multiple times with pictures on how my pup was doing! I was gonna be running very late for pickup and she was very accommodating!! Definitely will be reaching out to her again next time i have to go out of town!”
“Krysta and her family were great with my pups. They seemed to have had a good time there and didn’t seem to want to go home with me. I would recommend her and will book with her again.”
About: I have grown up on a farm with a bunch of animals, so I know how to take care of a variety! I am currently a legal assistant working from home, and I am looking to make extra money. My schedule is fairly free, so I have time to pick up some extra activities. I live in a house with a backyard. I am a very active person and don’t mind taking frequent walks/runs. Fur babies deserve love as much as humans and I will make sure that happens :) Having my own dog, I know the important stuff of being attentive and patient. I work from home, so I always have time for attention. My dog is my best friend and has traveled the country with me. It is not always easy to leave them behind, so I understand the importance of knowing they’re cared for when finding a pet sitter. Know they will be in good hands here and happy to provide all the updates! My remote position allows for attentive care. Most days I am home all day except for my morning and evening walks. So, they will have around the clock care! I treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own, so they will be well cared for with plenty of attention. It will be their own fun vacation!
About: Lover of all pets! Grew up in a household of pets so I’ve got a lot of love and respect for them. The only issue we may have is they’ll get spoiled so much they won’t want to go home ! Currently a stay at home Dad so very flexible and open for immediate boarding and sitting. Can pick up for an additional fee, prefer drop off. Fenced yard and a pet friendly home, currently own two cats that have a large sectioned off area should we need to house them away from your pet
About: Hello!! My names Tatum I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, my best friend when i was born was a weenie dawg, but i’ve had 4 dogs total in my life. I currently have 3 cuddly cats and a 1yr old, big ol handsome lab! I can do day or overnight sitting in my own apartment, I know there’s no straight access to a backyard :(( but i take my dog to the apartments dog park twice a day for 30-90mins. My apartment also has a nice big field right outside my door that i take them to go potty as many times needed! I live with my fiance and we work opposite shifts so someone is always awake! I don’t have any experience with shot medications but i sure know how to hide a pill in some chicken or cheese! We have plenty of toys to play with and my lab LOVES making new friends, he always has a ton of energy to keep your furr baby busy! If your dog needs to be crated or isn’t crate trained i can accommodate that, i have big crate here or you’re welcome to bring your own. Im available for overnight boarding/day sitting on the weekends (Fri@4:00pm - Sun@11:00pm) I work full time(M-F) 2 minutes away from my apartment and can go home on breaks. And they wouldn’t mind if i needed to leave for 10 minutes for a potty break. So if you absolutely need me to watch on a weekday i can make accommodations. My fiance will be home during the day since he works an opposite shift but probably asleep. I also have a camera in the living room. We can crate if crate trained if you feel more comfortable with that! My puppy had a bad chewing habit when he was little, so we only keep the floors clean (except for toys of course) I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on furniture for maximum cuddles :)
About: I have many years of experience with dogs, cats and bunnies — both pet sitting for other people and caring for my own four legged friends. I have rescued and trained several dogs and am a huge animal lover! I believe that with patience, attention to detail and a lot of love and care, any pet can be a GREAT pet. I am excellent with animals and can provide drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. I am available for the aforementioned tasks, but can also provide light grooming and health-related services such as brushing or administering medication if needed. I can handle any breed big or small and would love to get to know your pets! I can currently provide care anytime. I work remotely (M-F) from home, so I am at my house most of the time which makes for an ideal environment for boarding. If you’d like to set up recurring pet care I am available for this as well (such as weekly morning walks). My own home has a sizable fenced in yard, and I am able to provide in-home care so long as clients’ pets are fully vaccinated and on preventatives for flea/heartworm, are house-trained and have no behavioral concerns around other animals as we do have two indoor cats and two mini-lop bunnies. If you are uncertain of your pet’s behavior around other animals, I ask that we schedule a meet and greet prior to accepting a boarding request for new clients. When caring for pets in a client's home I will adhere to their house rules and standards and ensure it is kept in the same condition in which it was found. I can do light cleaning up as it concerns the pets, administer medication and ensure the pets are safe and well-cared for.
About: I've always had multiple animals and will love your fur baby or babies like my own. I have base acces, so that won't be a problem. I'm currently a stay at home mom with a 5 year old who loves to help if it is safe for him to do so. I have a fenced in backyard and a silly miniature schnauzer who loves making new friends. I also have a dependable car if in-home animal sitting if that is what you are more comfortable with.
About: Hello, I’m Mallory and I have 3 dogs and a ferret that I adore! I am comfortable with almost any indoor pet, including rodents and reptiles. I was a member of FFA in high school and showed goats in youth fairs for several years. Throughout my childhood and adult life, there have been 2-5 pets in the household, as well as outdoor livestock. Rest assured the following will be provided during your pet’s stay: Fresh food and water, adequate indoor/outdoor playtime, neighborhood walks, baths, and several comfortable resting areas. I will make sure your furry companion feels safe and happy while you enjoy your time away! I work part-time from home and have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs. If I leave the house for any reason, I always return within 2-3 hours for potty breaks. I am able to pick up and drop off due to my flexible schedule. My dogs are nothing if not spoiled! However, they are supervised almost 24/7 and have ample opportunities to play or potty within my fully fenced yard. My 3 dogs will keep your furry friend company, if you so wish. My dogs have free rein to the furniture, living, kitchen and dining areas whether I am home or not. If you are more comfortable with your pet in a crate when I am away, that can be arranged. In addition, my dogs have access to their food and water all day, but it can be put away if your pet has a special feeding schedule. I am very flexible and understand all pets have different needs and personalities!
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with their fur babies. I'm currently taking care of my home and family. I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced yard and one friendly pup and a homeschooled daughter to keep your fur babies company. I do have the ability to crate your fur baby if requested.
About: All my life I have been in love with animals , 2 years ago I got my first dog and she completely changed my life for the better. I couldn’t be more happier to welcome other dogs into my home to play and care for them and treat them like my own. My work schedule is pretty flexible I work 7 days on and 7 days off which gives me plenty of extra time on my days off to care for additional pets ! I have a fenced backyard and 2 fur babies to keep your pet company and play. If your pet is uncomfortable with other dogs I am able to separate them to make all comfortable and safe.
“Yoda absolutely loved coming to hang out over the weekend. Each morning he would run to the car and at the end of each day he was a happy, worn out from playing little boy. I would recommend Gregory to anyone looking for a daycare setting.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walks, feeding, and playtime. As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
About: ** I have been an avid dog lover from the time I was a little kid and have had the privilege of having four dogs in my life, two currently. In the past I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs, from little Chihuahuas to large Saint Bernard and Newfoundlands, and I take care of two large Great Danes re-occurringly in my home! My time caring for dogs has involved me walking them 3-4+ times a day while also spending time to socialize with them, as well as feeding them at specified times, while providing them with personal space to eat if needed in my home. Personally I have had the great opportunity to have two Yorkshire Terriers, a golden retriever, and a black mouth cur. As well as having my own dogs now, a loving mush of a pit/boxer/little bit of everything, mix and a golden retriever. I also have experience working with cats and had a cat of my own for 13 years. My desire to work with animals comes from the love I have for my own and the joy that animals bring me in general. I greatly enjoy encounters with new animals whether I'm caring for them or just simply meeting them while on a walk. **I always like to add that I do have experience with both oral medication as well as injections such as insulin, etc! I am currently working on a paralegal program for fun and other than that, I generally don’t do much outside of the house. The longest I’m usually gone is for the gym or groceries! I have a lovely fenced in yard and two amazingly sweet pups that are wonderful at keeping any and all dogs company at the times I am not home. There is also the option to crate them while I am gone (they are used to that from our previous home) if that is what you would prefer! Dogs are always welcome on the couch and to sleep in the bed, but I also completely respect keeping up with dogs that are trained not to do so.

“Kortney D. has been absolutely amazing with my dog, DECON. She is incredibly communicative and provides detailed updates about every walk, which gives me complete peace of mind. I always know exactly how DECON is doing and what transpired during their time together. Most importantly, DECON absolutely loves her! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. I highly recommend Kortney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker. She does a tremendous job, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for DECON!”
“Joanna has been excellent with our dog. She is professional with communication before and after visits. She sends great pictures and updates on how our dog is doing. We have used her for daily walks as well as for drop ins and she is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is cared for.”

About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: I've been dog obsessed since I was a kid! Unfortunately my three dogs have all passed away within the last two years and so now my husband and I are excited to welcome & work with your pet! While your dog is with me, he/she will be allowed to have free reign of my home as well as doggie door access to a large, fully fenced back yard. Dogs are free to sleep wherever they like- on the couch, floor, my bed- I treat them like they're my own. I also live within half a mile from a well maintained park and make trips there almost daily. While you're away I will keep you updated on your pet's activities in whatever way you prefer including email, text, or FaceTime (yes I know it might seem weird but I did this with my own dogs when I was away so I'd offer you the same). I do recommend a meet-and-greet prior to dog sitting. You would need to be present for this interaction. You must provide proper vaccinations. I require 100% honesty from you and I will be 100% honest and transparent as well. I will always treat your animal with the same respect and loving care that I gave my own animals. I'm currently available full-time to devote my attention to your pets between walking, cuddling or pet-sitting. I work from home and own my own business so pet-sitting is an easy fit. I have a large fenced-in yard and a doggie door. I am comfortable with crate-training puppies & helping them learn proper potty skills. I am also comfortable giving oral and injected medications for animals young and old depending on their medical needs.
“Anna has been amazing! I chose Anna because of the high number of repeat bookings and i can now see why. Received many report cards with great pictures of my doggos visibly enjoying themselves. I have no doubt they love her and your pets will too!”
About: I love pets!! I have owned many animals growing up and loved each and every one. I currently own 3 dogs and a hedgehog. They are all playful and loving animals!! I would love to take care of, play with, and have fun with your furry friend! Since I have 3 dogs of my own, my days consist of playing tug of war, chase, and doing tricks! I enjoy making a routine for the animals I watch so that they know what to expect while you are away. I understand accidents happen!! If you trust your pet to free roam in your home while you’re away that’s no problem. It is no big deal to me to clean up after your pet. All I ask is anything that your pet will need, you leave out for me to easily find!
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.
About: Hi! I'm a 28 y/o dog mom new to the area! I have a sweet little 10lb cavapoo who I am obsessed with and who adores other dogs! I'm home all day (Army wife life) so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, whether it's playing with them or taking them on walks around the neighborhood. I'd love to explore the area with your pet, or just give them the snuggles they’re used to while you’re away. My dog is a rescue who I raised from puppyhood—so I don’t mind accidents, teething, training, etc. I’m vigilant about safety with dogs, especially around cars and roads, so you can rest assured knowing I won’t let anything happen to your pup. I also grew up with two very energetic dogs in my home and I know how important pets are to each family. I'm happy to get to know your pet and any quirks they might have--places to avoid, special care they require, anything at all! Little more about me: I’m from the Midwest and have my Bachelor’s from U of M! I spent the last few years in the Washington, DC area with my husband as he went through medical school & residency. We’re an Army family but still hold our Midwest roots dearly :) I work part-time remotely, so I’m home and available all day and in the evenings. I’m happy to stop by to play with your pup and take a break from work, or go on my evening hot-girl walk with your dog by my side! I will treat your pet like my own when they’re in my home! We love to play, wrestle, and snuggle on the couch! My dog has free rein so she lounges on the couch, her beds, our bed, etc. Your dog is welcome to do the same! We can assess how the dogs get along and decide how to leave them if I have to step outside—we also have baby gates where I can separate the dogs if that’s best. I do not have any children so there aren’t little toys for your dog to get into, and I’ll keep all food and shoes put away. I like to think my apartment is quiet and cozy, so I’ll be sure to provide a calm environment for your pet! I am able to go to your home and meet your pet in their familiar space. I am open to all notes and tidbits about your home, your neighborhood, etc so that your pet has the best experience with me.
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for and spending time with animals, and believe it is extremely important that all animals are treated with the upmost care! I would love to be responsible for taking care of any animal! My schedule is fully available during weekdays! I am more limited on weekends, but feel free to ask! I am more than happy to assist you and your animal’s needs in a timely manner! Care for each pet can vary at times, but care first starts with understanding the personality of the animal that you are caring for. Aside from keeping them well fed, hydrated, exercised, and safe, there is an important emotional side to the care as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mostly my own and some family friends’ when they go on vacation. I’ve mostly dealt with smaller dogs but I have no problem with larger dogs. I currently own two dogs and one is a senior dog so he requires a little more attention. I can do basic care such as feeding and going for walks but I can also bathe if necessary. I currently work part-time and am in school for my bachelor’s degree. I’m taking a few summer courses but they are online so they don’t require too much of my time. My work schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have some time to work things out. I’ve done feeding and walks, whether it be for the restroom or just to get some exercise in. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard so my dogs are able to freely roam so they don’t like to go on walks much but we do take them out from time to time. I also play outside with them on a daily basis since they enjoy that. I usually bathe and groom my own dogs as well as some other dogs people have asked me to do.
About: I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and personalized care. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including basic training, crate routines, and leash manners. I’m also gentle and attentive with senior dogs, making sure they’re comfortable, and moving at their own pace. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a slow, cozy cuddle session, I adapt to each dog’s needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about keeping tails wagging and hearts happy even when you’re away. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pups. I am available Monday-Wednesday anytime and after 3 Thursday-Sunday. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating an stress-free environment. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or special comforts like favorite toys or bedtime routines. I keep your home clean and secure, treating it with the same respect as I do your pet. I’m attentive to their behavior and energy levels, making sure they get just the right balance of play, exercise, and snuggles. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved right where they feel most at home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals on my family’s farm over the past 8 years. I've helped take care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which has taught me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and how to handle animals with different needs and temperaments. As a college student home for the summer, I fit pet care into my daily routine by planning around my work schedule and training. I work as a lifeguard in Temple and I'm a college athlete so I must get my workout in each day. I make time for feeding, walking, or checking in on pets, depending on what's needed. My schedule is flexible in the summer months. I ensure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, with fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, dietary needs, or favorite toys and activities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each pet’s well-being as if they were my own.
About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.

“Tony is the best. He was extremely accommodating and even took the time to meet us and Loki before boarding him. Tony’s training background was definitely a big selling point as well. He constantly kept us updated on Loki and he provides so much feedback which helped us become better owners. We will be using Tony again in the future.”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”

“Katrina is phenomenal, and we definitely would trust her to take care of our furbabies. Without asking, she sends not just one, but a lot of good pictures with updates on how our Eleos and Asya were doing. Our babies looked happy and never sad. When we picked them up, and when we arrived home, they are beyond satisfied and presented with much better behaviors. Katrina’s furbaby Pogo is well trained and well behaved and our babies probably was trained by example from just observing Pogo. We thank her for everything, for being kind to us and to our babies, and for being a good person! Katrina is highly recommended.”

“Krysta was absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet beforehand and our pup immediately took to her. She was very communicative and flexible and kept us up to date with photos and videos. Our pup can be a Velcro dog but it didn’t bother her and it was very obvious our pup had a great time with her. We will not hesitate to reach out to Krysta again for our pet sitting needs.”
