“Pam is very friendly impersonal. I’ve been using her regularly now for many weeks and she always fulfills her commitments and lets me know ahead of time of any changes in her schedule. She also tends to be somewhat flexible and communicates very well.”
“Eden is incredibly caring and responsible. She is always very responsive and our dogs and always very exciting to see her! She gives our animals lots of love and treats them like they are her own.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.
About: I’ve had animals of all shapes and sizes for my whole life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, birds, rabbits, fish, and more. I currently have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own and frequently pet sit for family members! I also foster dogs and cats for a local animal rescuer. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, and special needs animals. Two of my own pets require daily medications and I am experienced with oral and subcutaneous meds. I have background in the medical field. I work during the week, but have availability for visits before and after work and in the evenings. I am available anytime on the weekends. I care for your pets as if they are my own. My pets are family to me and I understand the value in having a trustworthy sitter.
About: Dog sitting since 2010, I love dogs and am not put off by size or jumping. After a few quick sniffs we are likely to be good friends. I work but I make sure I leave time between my multiple jobs to check on the dog. I have references if needed. It can be hard to give a key to a stranger and to trust someone in your home. I can grab mail, water plants, ***and care for smaller animals and additional pets that aren't the traditional cat and dog.*** I work part time, so I do not work more than 7 straight hours. My other jobs are often virtual/online or other dogs so it gives me flexibility. I have a cat and can only watch pets at your residence, because I have roommates. I love to snuggle pets (if they feel comfortable with me) and am conscientious in dietary needs and will read whatever instructions and specifics you give. I dont mind giving medicine. I will admit that I can be hard for me to do dinner times if it's on a strict schedule. I can get up as early as needed for breakfast time, but sometimes life gets in the way naturally. I am also a night owl and rely on that to earn extra income, So I do a lot of events. I'm an actor, game designer, as well as an educator and freelance writer. I like to follow instructions whether given in the form of an email or on a piece of paper. Vet numbers and any information that helps me best Make your pet healthy and happy is helpful. A lot of people worry when they give me a packet and I'm an avid reader so don't worry if you have more than three pages. I'm pretty sure the longest one has been five pages for one dog and even that isn't that long. :)
“Kristen has been a huge help with my 9 month old golden retriever. She has been flexible with her schedule and great with communication. She is very friendly and Winnie enjoyed greeting her at the door for a daily walk. Highly recommend.”
“Nia was awesome with my dog! she sent me pics and updates after every walk. my dog got plenty of exercise and love, and it’s clear she really cares about animals. super trustworthy and easy to work with. i’ll 100% have her walk my dog again.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.
“Kimberly was amazing! She sent me so many pictures of Kacie on her walk and gave me great summary’s of their walk! It is always so reassuring when someone is responsive to you and when your dog seems happy and comfortable and Kim did just that for me!”
About: I have experience with dogs for almost 40 years. I also have experience with cats and birds. I have had puppies through their senior years as well as taking some older dogs through the rescue that I work with. I am experienced with giving medication as well as any other needs they may have. I have experience cat sitting for family and they have special diets as well as medicine given twice a day. I am a teacher so will have the summer off to help throughout the day as well as evenings and weekends. I can come to your house, or have them come to mine. My pets, 3 dogs and a bird, are quite literally part of my family. They are allowed everywhere in my home. I treat all animals as though they are one of my own. I have experience with giving medication or special diets as needed. When I have pet sit for other’s I always will do anything requested. I am more than willing to send photos if requested.
About: I have many years of experience with dogs including basic training, going for walks, playing fetch in the back yard, food/water/medications if needed and most of all making sure they have fun. I have a very flexible daily/weekly routine, I have an open schedule and would love to help your family and pet out with anything they need. I will love your pet as my own. I will make sure they always have water, getting the exercise they need, training if needed and most of all love and attention they want.
“Lee was AMAZING! Best experience ever for my pups, I’m honestly so glad I found her last minute. Communicating with Lee was fast, to the point and no hassles! I would recommend her 1000%!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all types/ages. My family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me for years. Puppies and senior dogs are always a treat to care for as well! Currently I have open availability! So please let me know what your needs are😊 I will be going back to working part time at some point but not for a few weeks! Drop in visits are a great opportunity for me to give your pet a break in their alone time! I’m happy to feed/water or give any medications necessary. Walks are a great chance to get some of their energy out too, whichever service you prefer for your pet!
“Alex was really great about coming to take care of our pup and cleaning up after him. He was very flexible with scheduling and communicated with me frequently with updates. Very grateful for all his help!”
“She’s always punctual, got a great attitude, and is so good to all the animals. She’s very easy to work with, I couldn’t ask for somebody better. I definitely recommend her.”
“This was my first time booking a dog walker. I was so excited that Heather had a dog she could bring! Both dog and Heather were friendly, professional, and on time. Walk went well and we’ll be booking again. Thanks!”

“Kelly is such an awesome dog-mom! There was no adjustment time of my Brucey getting to know and be comfortable with her, he LOVED her right at first meet; so much so that I always said that if here were to leave me for another it would be her! She loved him and took great care of him when I was out of town; sending pics of the cuddle bugs together and taking him for all the walks and then some that he could waggle out of her! She has always been patient, soft-spoken and a calming presence with him, yet still being able to keep him being a good boy with her. I've seen her with other dogs that did not know her and I swear she is a dog whisperer in that they all just love her the mostest. She truly is a god send knowing that when I leave my Brucey with her he will be loved and cared for by her as much as he is by me and knowing he is a very happy boy with his "Aunt Kelly" taking care of him!”
