“Janyl was wonderful. We have 5 black cats, several of which have special needs, and she got our system down fast. A lot of our close friends still can't tell the cats apart, but she got it within just a couple of visits! Everyone got the right medications and plenty of attention, and Janyl even washed some dishes for us when Rover glitched and she had extra time. I would definitely use her again, especially knowing how much of a pain my kids can be.”


“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!”


“Sara is the best. She made sure Etta was cared for and loved while we were gone. She’s highly recommended. It’s wonderful to know we found someone that takes our mind off of leaving not just a pet but a family member and she is taking care of properly until we returned.”


About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.

About: Hi! I’m Kendal—an energetic, dog-loving sitter and future veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether I’m walking high-energy dogs, comforting anxious rescues, or supporting senior pups with extra TLC, I always bring patience, empathy, and a vet-bound level of attentiveness. I’ve worked with animals through vet clinics, rescue organizations, and educational programs like Project Terrapin, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I adapt to your dog’s needs—whether that means fetch in the yard, calm companionship, or help with routine care. Every dog has their own personality, and I’m here to meet them right where they are—with enthusiasm, respect, and a whole lot of love. I currently work off-site Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to offer consistent, high-quality pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I currently provide pet care in clients’ homes, as I do not board animals in my own residence. My focus is on offering attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and supported in their familiar environment. In Your Home (Sitting and Overnight Stays): When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. I keep your home clean and your pet happy, providing regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind. During overnight stays, I ensure your pet receives care in the evening, overnight, and morning, with a walk or check-in before I leave for work and attentive care once I return. Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking: For walks and drop-ins, I tailor the visit to your pet’s needs—whether that means an energizing walk, quiet company, or extra attention for nervous or senior pets. I make sure they have clean food and water, a potty break, and interaction that matches their personality and preferences. With a strong foundation in pre-veterinary studies and years of hands-on animal care experience, I offer thoughtful, dependable care for every pet I meet.

About: I had multiple animals growing up, and always helped take care of them all. I’ve also helped take care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats! I work a full time job Monday-Friday from 7am-4pm so I’m always going to be available on weekends or anytime after 4pm during the week days! I treat every cat and/or dog like it’s my own, every pet gets the same attentive care no matter what. I always make sure your little one has a save environment

About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.

“Cassie took amazing care of my cats while we were away! She kept us updated daily with reports and pictures and gave them some extra attention. I came back home to two happy and healthy cats!”


About: I have had dogs in my house for the past 17 years. I am looking to care for your animals and show them love and joy. I enjoy being around animal friends very much. I am a very big animal lover. I love cuddling animals and making them feel loved. I love it when pet parents leave me great directions and I love sending them notes or pictures back of their babies to brighten their days. My favorite thing is sending pet parents their pictures of their babies so they can see how they're doing. Please let me know what special treats, blankets, or toys make your pets happy because happy pets are the best and they make their owners happy. Feel free to contact me with any other inquiries. I currently work a part-time job. my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have early enough notice. I typically have shorter shifts and am available whenever I’m not working. I do not have a fenced-in yard but I can keep your pup on a leash and play with them in the backyard we have.

“Amber is exactly the person you want caring for your dog! She has been wonderful and reliable with our puppy, sending lots of pictures and videos and taking the absolute best care of our fur baby. Highly recommend!”


“Jacqueline was awesome! Super responsive and sent great updates. My girl can be a little shy with new people but she took to her instantly and was super comfortable. Made our little get away a lot less stressful knowing Lily was loved and happy. Would definitely recommend her for sure. Thank you!”


About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have had pets of my own ever since I was born! Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for years to stay at their homes with their animals, check up on them, and ensure they are being fed and well cared for while they are away. I treat each animal like they are my own and provide the care that they so deserve! I’m currently only working part time this summer so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet throughout the day! Whether it be stopping over for a quick visit or staying over night I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule. Due to having 2 cats of my own and a small apartment, I am unable to keep an animal overnight in my home. However, if I were to stay overnight in a client’s home I would be sure to follow the exact directions that are given to me in order to provide the best possible care for their furry children.

About: I may not have a dog, but I have taken care of dogs and been around them for many years. I was around many family members who had dogs such as Newfoundlands, Labradors, and little dogs such as Chihuahuas. I pet sit four cats and a dog several times for a family member while she was on vacation and that was a very good experience. Your fur babies will be well cared for and given lots of love and attention. I do not have a dog or cat of my own currently. However, I have taken care of many cats in a rescue. I have pet sit many times and it is something I enjoy. I dream of fostering dogs and possibly cats in the future, as animals make me happy. Your pet will be in great care and their safety is what matters most before anything else. Your pets needs are my top priority and I will do whatever needs to be done for them to be content. If your dog is a senior or has a disability, I am able to adapt to whatever needs to be modified for their needs.
