“Rocky is fantastic!!! While I was away he took such good care of my dog and made sure to stay in contact with me!!! Highly highly recommended!!!”
“I rated him a 5 * but if given the opportunity I would rate him a 5000+ star. He is WONDERFUL! Luie stayed at my home overnight and My dogs love him and they attached to him right away ! He is loving, caring, understanding, flexible, professional, considerate, honest, friendly and so much more! I have three dogs and one of them is a Pandemic doggie who hasn’t interacted with many people over the last few years and he took to Louie as part of the family. If you want a great person taking care of your home and your dogs Luie is the person to hire!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
“Samantha was awesome! First time leaving our dogs with a sitter so we were a little nervous. However, her daily updates and pictures reassured us that they were well taken care of. She definitely learned their personalities and adjusted as needed. The framed pictures left for us at the end was perfect! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone!”
“Ashley did a great job.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10. With over 7 years of experience, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Whether it’s energetic puppies or gentle senior dogs, I always treat them like my own-with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, sitting, or boarding-weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just steps away from several parks-perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. The building is secure and quiet, and I always create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines to help them feel right at home.
“Danielle took great care of our home and our Gypsi. We would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to caring for their pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who need patience, medication, and a gentle touch. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved in my care. I’m comfortable with leash training, administering oral medications, and I never miss a belly rub opportunity! I’m an avid animal lover of all kinds! I’ve spent time caring for everything from dogs and cats to reptiles and other exotic pets. My love for the natural world extends beyond animals, too; I’m passionate about protecting the environment and feel most at home near the ocean. That connection to nature inspires me to create meaningful, enriching experiences for the pets I care for, including fun outdoor adventure walks whenever possible. Whether your pet is shy, excitable, scaly, or furry, I meet them where they are and treat them like family. I’m currently working part-time down at the beaches until 2 pm, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings during the week, especially in that area. I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or sitting depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also available to board pets every other weekend, depending on my second job schedule, and I’m always willing to work with you to find a time that works for both of us. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I genuinely love it, it’s something I look forward to each day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well-loved while you're away. At my home, your pet will have a clean, calm space to relax, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and the companionship of my friendly 2-year-old dog who loves having a playmate. If your dog prefers downtime or needs structure, I can easily crate them upon request. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and do my best to maintain a calm, consistent environment for your pet. Whether it’s long walks, feeding, administering medication, or just some snuggle time, I make sure they’re getting attentive, personalized care. As someone who deeply loves animals and the outdoors, I also try to bring that connection to nature into every pet’s day, through enrichment, outdoor walks, or just peaceful time in the yard.
About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.
“Shatera was AMAZING with my pup, Tucker! She house say for us while we went on vacation. She offered to do a merry and greet at our house before the stay to meet him and see the house. This was super helpful as our dog is very dog selective and it was the first time we had left him with someone he didn’t know. I was so incredibly nervous prior to meeting her as Tucker can be a lot to handle, especially for a stranger. But as soon as we met her, we knew we were leaving him in good hands! She sent pictures and videos of their adventures and gave updates throughout the stay. She was very communicative and followed directions thoroughly. The best part? Tucker loved her and her family! I highly recommend Shatera for anyone nervous about using a sitter service. She was incredible throughout the entire process! Happy to say we’ve found our dog sitter for Tuck ?”
