“Great sitter. Would hire Sophia again in a heartbeat. Reliable. Responsive. Flexible. Great communicator. Sent detailed updates and photos after every visit. Had zero worries while Sophia was on the job.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life, learning about their behaviors and how to properly care for them! Its always been a passion of mine! I own my own small bakery business at home so my flexible schedule allows me to help care for your fur babies until 4pm everyday I always believe in allowing the animal to set the boundaries and allow them to get comfortable with a new person in their space, so your animal will always be the main priority with me!

Currently available from early morning till 2 pm in the and after 9pm on weekdays Also available on weekends. Schedule could change if work changes Can crate if needed Large fenced in backyard - corner lot My dog is very submissive and friendly Whatever care your dog needs I can work around
“She does a great job! Having the peace of mind that your furry family members are being taken care of while you are out of town or out of the country is a huge relief. Gabriella was amazing and we will use her in the future and recommend this to everyone.”

“My first time working with Camille, all I can say was she did a terrific job looking after my tortie kitty. She was timely with her visits, wrote comments about every visit, and handled every duty around the house we had agreed upon. Camille is a real Pro, the best I have worked with.”

About: I’ve owned everything from dogs and cats to more exotic species such as ferrets and reptiles for 10 years. I’m studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, and am comfortable with more ‘behaviorally challenged’ animals or those that need more specific care. I like to be busy, so while I am not working at my job at a Veterinary Clinic, I’d love to be engaging with pets and pet parents. I pay attention to my surroundings and am not afraid to ask questions about what is or is not okay for the animal - ex. if they are allowed to go into a certain room, have a certain treat, etc.
About: I currently have baby-Neo, who’s a German Shepherd and Great Dane mix. However, I have worked with Rottweilers, labs, and boxers previously. My experience includes special feeding/diets, walks, playing, baths etc. I plan to offer walks and/or home visits. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to assist. Visits and walks would be 30 min, and if feeding or any other special request is needed related to your pets, (including additional time!) please feel free to let me know in the initial visit to discuss. I would like to ask for an initial meeting to meet the pet(s) and go over the expectations regarding the services. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I am currently working part time job with flexible hours. However, my passion is dogs and looking to expand my experience/network and work with them more often! Strictly follow owners’ instructions! The owners are best suited to provide instructions on how to care for the pets which includes feeding any special diets, how to walk them etc. you can expect your directions, no matter how long to be strictly followed!
“Great experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).”

About: I've taken care of dogs as long as I can remember, but have been doing it as a side job since I was about 12. I love all dogs, whether they are big, small, old, or young. I am currently working in the morning and early afternoons, so evening and night (walks, check-ins, etc.) would be ideal for my schedule at the moment! I have a large unfenced yard and a jittery, but friendly pup that would love to get to know yours! I also have access to yards that are fenced in!:)
“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”

“Anastasia was excellent! I had last minute plans out of town and she was very accommodating to board Maui. Maui was so comfortable and had a great time playing in the yard space with her new dog friend! Anastasia sent me lots of pictures each day of Maui! She even started to train her to sit on command. I highly recommend Anastasia, she is an outstanding caregiver! I will be using her again in the future!”

“Brenna is really great! My dogs loved her, she was very dependable and we were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing she had things handled at home. She sent lots of pics and updates, too :) highly recommend!”
About: I have several years of experience as I used to care for my neighbors dogs while they were away. I will treat your animal like my own. I am working full time but I am available before and after work to feed, give potty breaks and or walk your dog. I am available any time of day on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly female golden retriever who loves meeting new friends. I can also care for your dog in the comfort of their own home.
About: I am available to give your fur-child some extra TLC! If you're in need of occasional weekend care, I am flexible to work weekends. Depending on energy level, I usually schedule in one to two walks per day. Depending on the needs and ages of the dog(s), I will make a plan with you prior to my service in order to assure you and your pet's needs are taken care of. Let me know when you would like to work out the details! I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, so I can provide consistent walks, playtime, and companionship when your pets need it most My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely and keep to your pet’s routine so they feel at home, even while you’re away. From meals and potty breaks to playtime, walks, and extra snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart and I try to do everything imaginable to give them the happiest life they deserve. I have previously watched family friends dogs, some with special needs and have been asked back time and time again. I take my responsibilities very seriously when caring for other people’s pets and will treat them as if they are my own! I am working on my own home-based bakery (I make pup cakes too!) and just love being able to help wherever possible! Your pet will be given everything they need to live the happiest life!! I currently work full time at a local daycare 7-4 and typically have my weekends mostly free. Sometimes I have bakery events here and there but can always make room for a few drop ins here and there! I can adapt very well to whatever your animals are used to! I know my pets are very used to a schedule and it’s always easiest to keep on that schedule!
“Alexandria did an awesome job with dog sitting my 4 year old shihpoo. It was the first time I have left with someone unfamiliar and Alexandria put me at ease and sent me regular updates. Highly recommend Alexandria for petting services!”


About: I am generally not afraid of dogs, being able walk, run, and play with a dog always brightens my day. I use to take care of puppies and adult dogs in my spare time after school and I would make sure to feed them, take them out for walks, play with them and pick up after them when needed. I am not working right now so looking after a dog is a good way to pass the time for me, not mention being out of the house and getting a decent amount of exercise. I will take great responsibility in taking care any dog that is under my care, I'll respect the owners rules and do my best to satisfy the customer and their needs
