“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Andrea. I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve raised and loved Great Danes, golden retrievers, chihuahuas, and several cat breeds, so I’m comfortable with everything from big gentle giants to tiny divas. I’ve also personally pet sat for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including senior pets and animals with behavioral challenges. Whether your pup needs patience and structure or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I’m free all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I have plenty of time for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays. During the week, I get off work around 4:30 p.m. and can also stop by during my lunch break if needed. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own space. I stick to their usual routine, whether that’s a morning walk, cuddles on the couch, or just quiet company, and follow any instructions you leave to a T. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for mine, and I’ll always keep you in the loop with sweet updates and photos. My goal is to make things as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets while you’re away!

“Ellie stayed to care of our pup when we had to travel out of town for a couple of days. She reached our place on time, and gave us regular updates about our pup and shared pictures. It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with a dog sitter and Ellie did an excellent job taking care of our pup. We highly recommend her as she is very good with dogs and dependable.”


“I contacted Lacy the day before, so it was super late notice, and she responded immediately, was able to meet me immediately, was completely willing to help me out, and she was an absolute lifesaver! Not only that, but she was communicative, sent me photos, my dog seemed very happy and well taken care of, and the house was spotless. I will definitely use her again!”

“Elizabeth did a great job with Delilah. She sent pictures and Delilah looked very happy in all of them. She also sent us other updates throughout her stay. She was extremely flexible with us. We had to delay our leave day due to our daughter getting sick and she just rolled with it. She also stopped by on the last day to let her out 1 more time since our drive back home is pretty long.”


About: Come one, come all, your pet’s second-best friend is on call! 🐕🐈🐈⬛ Whether small and furry or tall and scruffy, scaly or cuddly, I’m ready to care for pets of every shape and size; and give them all the love they deserve! I’ve house-sat for a wide variety of animals, from classic companions like cats and dogs to more exotic friends like bearded dragons. Need someone detail-oriented? I’ve cared for pets with specific medication schedules, strict diets, and set mealtimes, so I’m more than prepared to follow special routines with care and consistency. From playful puppies who get into everything, to sweet senior dogs who need a helping hand, I’m here for the cleanups, the cuddles, and everything in between! I’m working full-time throughout the summer, but my schedule includes a flexible lunch hour—so I’m happy to check in on your pet if extra care is needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I treat every animal like my own: gently, patiently, and with total attention to their unique needs and personalities.

About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.

“Kamiya was great with Cooper. Communication was a big part of that. She sent photos of him knowing i would muss him, and expressed concerns of him not eating, which is typical for him so i just asked her to give him some of his lick em treats, which she did. He seems very comfortable with her. Will ask her to watch him in the future.”


“Ryan was awesome! He was adamant about meeting my chihuahuas and giving updates often! He made sure that they were comfortable when some big storms moved through and was so considerate of being in our home. We are grateful and would use again.”


About: I’ve grown up with 3 dogs my whole life. My aunt owned a dog kennel so every summer I’ve helped out and did whatever was needed of me! During spring break I’m free most of the time so I can make most times work! After spring break just text me and we will work out a good schedule for both of us! I’m a college student so I don’t have any pets here, but in my hometown I would take my dogs on daily walks and just love playing with them!

About: I have been around animals since I was born! I currently have a mini goldendoodle and she LOVES other animals and people! I live in a house with plenty of room to run around! I’d love to help take care of your pet whenever you need it! I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can make accommodations and plan ahead of time to make sure everything works out! I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around and play! My dog, Lenni, loves to play and is a great fur friend. On days I take care of your pet, I will make sure to take them outside, play with them, and take them on walks! There is also one other dog and 2 cats. All are very friendly and get along great with other animals!
