About: Growing up we had a loving lab named Hannah who always wanted to cuddle and give kisses. Shortly after adopting her, we rescued my kitty Dusty who became best friends with her, unfortunately Hannah passed a few years back and Dusty lived a very long life and passed away in June. While in the final years of High School and college, I had neighbors, friends, and family get out to have me to care, walk, and feed their love ones when they go away, along with spending the night with them. I currently work full time as a registered nurse. Work day starts around 6:30am and ends around 4pm. I will have plenty of time in the morning and after work to play with your pups or kitties. I have a fenced in dog park where I currently live and access to a nature path. I can easily crate your dog if needed during the day or make sure everything is picked up if they roam free when home alone.
“Chase was very easy to communicate with and he was quick to win over our dogs (who honestly can be a bit too hyper for some people). Chase was very prompt and professional, following instructions around meds, baby gates, etc. We'll definitely hope to work with Chase in the future!”
About: I grew up caring for animals and watching over them since I can remember. I am in the military, therefore responsibility and trustworthiness is a necessity for me. You can rely on me to care for your animals as they were my own. I work full time, but most days I am off around 3 or 4 pm. Weekends I’m completely free unless and emergency happens at work. My schedule is very flexible. I will ensure your animal has plenty play time outside and goes on adventures. If sitting is in your home, I will ensure your animal is well taken care of within your home. Play time at home is guaranteed!
“Jessica was a great house sitter for my pups! Most of them are seniors and she was very patient with them and kept me up to date on how they were doing. I definitely had peace of mind while being away that they were in great hands.”
“Jazmine was absolutely amazing the Dexter and Zuna. She kept me up to date with photos and videos. With us coming home late she was so kind and left lights on for us so we wouldn't walk in in dark. I will definitely book with here again”
“Chatavia was a great dog sitter for Max! She updated me on his well being and sent me pictures and videos of him to keep me updated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Rena was great with my pups and showered them with love. She made sure I knew about their day and how they were doing with lots of pictures and videos, which were greatly appreciated! She made sure one of our pups got her ear drops each day and let me know when she did them. I highly recommend Rena and will use her in the future :)”
“The best sitter. Malcolm went out of his way to offer things like taking Sadie on a walk and sent me a bunch of photos and videos. All of my animals were comfortable around him right away.”
“Our second time having Sarah house sit out pets. She did amazing! One of our dogs got sick while we were away and she was so patient and handled all the messes. Cannot say enough good things about Sarah and the care she provides are dogs and cats. It gives me such peace of mind while I’m on vacation.”
“Aja deserves 10 stars, we highly recommend her to anyone seeking her service. She’s very professional and structured, and followed all of our little requests. We loved her thorough and personalized updates throughout her stay with our dog. We felt comfortable with her in our home and with our German shepherd, who seemed to warm up to her quickly. We look forward to having her back soon!”
About: I’ve always had a big heart for the animal world and this is how I’d like to show that love even though I have my own furry babies lol I currently work full time mostly during the week I mainly have weekends off and during the week I usually get off around 5 or so. I have two dogs myself but I’d rather not bring other pets to my place considering one of my dogs doesn’t get along with others very well. So for your pets safety it is best to find another way to care for them while you are away or just don’t have the time.
“Alicia, was a very conscientious pet and house sitter. I had her stay at my home with my three cats and she was in constant communication, providing me with updates and picture. She also left the house as clean as it was when she arrived. I would highly recommend Alicia and I will definitely have her watch my pets again.”
About: My family has always loved animals so we’ve always had a lot. Currently we have 8 dogs and 9 cats. Two of the dogs are specifically mine but I help take care of all of them! No animals scare me and i’m very trustworthy!! I am currently in online college courses but I can do that from anywhere! Other than that I don’t do much but hangout at my house. I cannot bring your animals into my house from all the dogs I have but I love playing with animals and know how to clean up after them. I don’t mind hanging out with your pets for however long you need me!
“I can’t say enough about Alanna!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She did multiple drop-ins for us over a 6 day period (1 dog, 4 cats). She followed everything in the binder I left her, including extras like feeding the strays that usually come by lol❤️ She sent photos and a summary after each visit to put me at ease bc I’d never done this before. This trip was so much better bc I didn’t have to worry about my fur babies back home!”
“Haley stayed with our two pups this Christmas Eve while we were out of town. She was very friendly, communicative and arrived for drop in visits and the overnight stay as agreed upon. She sent pics today and our dogs looked very content with her. We will definitely be using her the next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have had an unofficial dog sitting business for the past couple of years. I have taken care of all kinds of pets from dogs and cats to bunnies, ducks, reptiles, chickens and even a hedgehog. I am good with pets who need special care such as, needing shots, or needing too spoon fed. Most of my clients have been family and friends but I am hoping to expand and offer my services to anyone. My job allows me to make my own hours most of the time which allows me to be available pretty much anytime that I am needed even if it is last minute. I am currently in an apartment so having pets at my home doesn’t work at this time but I can care for your fur baby’s at your home in whatever way you need me too!
