About: We have always loved animals. We started offering pet transportation to the vet for people who are unable to take their fur babies to the vet and it turned into a full time business taking care of animals 💜 As there are two of us, one or both of us will be available to take care of your fur babies needs around the clock! We have a big fenced in back yard. We have large custom built kennels. We also offer pick up and drop offs if you need pet transportation. Our schedule revolves around dogs 😂 Thankfully there's two of us so that we can multitask while ensuring the dogs will always be taken care of. We have a fenced in yard that your fur baby can run wild in without the worry of running off. We also have security cameras that cover the back yard.

About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for 5 years working in primarily emergency services but also general practice, oncology and ophthalmology. I’m comfortable and confident with animals of every age, temperment and practice a fear free approach. Rest assured your pet will be loved and well cared for at all times. I’m available for sitting, walks and medication administration, boarding and day care I currently manage a veterinary hospital out of state so I am available half of every month. When I am home I work from home so your pet will constantly have someone available for them. I have 32 acres of property and an invisible fence available for dogs in need of some exercise. My home is 2 stories and big enough to accommodate large dogs. I have a spare bedroom dedicated to my cats filled with toys and towers for them so I can easily assist felines in need of a more confined space
About: My whole life I have grown up around dogs, and have my own nine year old best friend Buster Brown! Dogs bring so much companionship and joy into our lives, and I know as an owner I want the best care for my pup. I love getting to know the special and unique personalities of each new furry friend, making sure that I can give owners the support and comfort for their pups that I would give my own! My schedule is very open and flexible this summer, I typically am available for Check-Ins or scheduled walks! Message me with any possible days and I will be quick to respond on availability. It's very important to me to learn the routines and behaviors of each new pet. Every dog has its own unique personality and preferences whether it be potty time, walks, or feeding. Getting to know each animal helps me care for them in the safest and most loving way possible!
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and more. I grew up with a family dog and regularly pet-sat for friends and neighbors, giving me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also raised my cat since she was just 5 weeks old, so I understand the patience and attention young animals need. I treat every pet like they’re my own:with love, reliability, and respect for their unique routines. I’m a college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in or some extended company, I can easily work around your routine to make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply companionship. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I treat your home with the same respect I would my own.
About: I have watched dogs over the past 10 years from 8 wks - senior aged + my current pup (immuno-compromised)! I have been entrusted with anything from giving medication to taking dogs on long walks to get in physical activity needed! I work work from home and am available for around the clock care to watch your dogs! We are a family of 4; 2 married humans + 2 fur pups and would love to host your fur baby as we well!

“Rover's website is hard to work. Very frustrating. Brandi has follow our instructions and Holly doesn't seem upset or scared when we get home. Always get a picture of her walking her.”
About: Just like you, I prefer the company of a sweet loyal pupper or the hard-won affection of a sassy kitty-cat over Jen from the office. I own a small home aviary where I breed the smallest of exotic parrots- called Parrotlets- and hand raise them as companion pets. I will afford your furbaby all the respect, patience, and genuine care that you would yourself if you could be there, and I’ll explain to them that momma has to work to afford that next pair of shoes they’ll be eating the first chance they get. I own a small home aviary breeding exotic birds, but at this moment all my pairs are resting (I like them to rest between every clutch (egg laying) and so I have plenty of available time to tend to your most vulnerable and helpless of family members whenever you should need. I live on two acres of open land, but if boarding overnight I would of course prefer to crate indoors at bedtime and depending on the pet and the owner’s wishes I am not opposed to letting a well behaved furbaby run around the house like one of us at will in between potty breaks and walks/playtime outside. Each pet is different and requires their own parent-approved game plan. Plan
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My parents allowed me to take responsibility for my precious pups at an early age, from feeding, to walking & bathing. My dogs were a part of the family, and I will treat yours the same! I am in Law school, so outside of the scheduled class time I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am very active and love to go for walks &/or runs. My two dogs are back home with my parents, so I won’t have them with me. I want to ensure your pups are comfortable and have all the TLC they need. You can feel at ease & know they are in good hands if your dogs (or cat) are with me!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a dedicated pet parent myself, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to cater to them with patience and attentiveness. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require gentle care and medication management. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Plus, I provide regular updates and pictures so you always know how your furry friend is doing. With me, your pet isn’t just getting a sitter—they’re getting a new friend who will treat them like family! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own who keep me active and engaged. Every day, I make time for walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, and cuddle breaks, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. Because of this, integrating additional pets into my routine is seamless—I’m already in the habit of providing consistent, loving care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I prioritize each pet’s unique schedule. I’m also flexible and can adjust my routine to fit the specific needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means extra exercise for high-energy dogs or a slower, more relaxed pace for seniors. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I love! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent to reduce any stress. I ensure they receive meals on time, get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks, and have companionship while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is in great hands. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and following any special instructions provided. No matter where I’m caring for a pet, my focus is on providing the same level of love and attention I’d want for my own!

Summer & McKenna A.
Star Sitter
“Summer came to our house with her pet carrier and picked up our cat and took him to the vet to be neutered. She went back later that day and picked him up and brought him back home for us. She texted me the entire time letting me know how he was doing on the ride to and from and in the clinic, and she handled him very gently. I'd definitely recommend having Summer as a pet sitter or dog walker!”

Andie A.
“Andie is the exact person you want caring for your pets. She is prompt, responsible, responsive, and loving. She has great attention to detail, follows all directions, and made us feel so comfortable leaving our fur babies with her for walks while we work long hours. It felt like she had known us and our pets for ages! She was sweet to send update pics after walks so we had peace of mind.”

“Jamyria did exceptionally well with both of my dogs. My husky usually doesn’t like people but he took a liking to her. She was on time, she provided nutritional dog treats and most importantly love to my adorable children. I highly recommend Jamyria.”
