“Colleen took wonderful care of my cranky cat and aggressive angelfish over the weekend. I felt much better leaving them in her hands rather than leaving them alone for the weekend. Thank you Colleen for the care you gave them.”


“Faith was an exceptional dog sitter who exceeded all expectations. She was punctual every day, ensuring that our pups received consistent care and attention. Faith dedicated 30 minutes each day to sit with the dogs while they did their business, showing her commitment to their well-being. Additionally, she captured lots of great pictures of the pups, which was a delightful bonus for us. Her reliability and thoughtful care made a significant difference, and we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”


“Marian was great! She went over and above. I was most impressed that two of my anti-stranger cats (who have never come out for anyone) came out to see her. Highly recommend.”


“Kathleen has been very reliable and has always provided feedback along with pic’s immediately after her visits with our Sophie. We have great piece of mind knowing that our Sophie is well taken care of.”


“Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!”


“Emily is great with communication, prompt on the days she visits, and follows all instructions to care for our pets (specific foods, prescriptions, etc.). We are so glad we have someone so reliable to take care of our animals while we are away!”


About: My family has always had all kinds of animals and I’ve been the one to take care of them, I am able to all that is needed to ensure a happy animal ! I am currently working Tuesday through Thursday each week from 6 to 2:30 each of those dogs, in between that I am able to come take care and visit your pet! I may also be able to do drop in visits during my working hours depending on distance! I have a big yard and live an active life so I’m able to play with your animal whatever there needs and wants are, whether it be running around or laying on the couch!

About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.

About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”


About: Hello, my name is Heather, I absolutely love all animals big and small! I live alone and have so much room to share with your 4 legged friend! Ive had multiple dogs in my life and all have lived to be 13+ years old, so I know how to care for puppies up to senior adult dogs. I grew up with multiple family dogs so I have experience with all different breeds and sizes. I enjoy going on hikes, kayaking and anything outdoors your dog will sure get some exercise and adventure with me! I am currently working part time right now, so I have plenty of openings in my schedule to take care of all your pets needs. I have a nice size yard with neighbors on both sides who have fenced in yards so you Furr baby will have plenty of safe and secure room to explore, I also have a gated in kitchen area of my home and have a crate I can set up as well if requested, I also do allow pets on the furniture they are family after all!

About: Pups within my care are ensured to be well cared for and happy waggers! Many people like to walk dogs as a way to pass time but for me caring for pets and making sure they get all the help and care that they need are essential to my day to day! I have several years experience in pet sitting, from day to day walks and exercise, to keeping company and helping with food and medical tasks! I am a college student who loves animals and am looking to give some pups some exceptional care! Caring for dogs is my passion and now that i have even more time to give i would like to lend a hand in pet sitting! I am available for Check-in, walking and feeding services! And although i have some time off as of current, even while in classes I am able to do on-going part time care routines! I am able to feed, walk, bathe, and play with your pup! If your pup has a set schedule I am able to work with it and ensure that your pup is safe and healthy and happy! I never like to leave a client dissatisfied with my care so each pup gets their own unique play and care schedule that changes up each day so that it doesn't feel repetitive for them! It can be stressful having to leave your pup with someone new but I always ensure that you will be updated at every moment to know how your fur-baby is doing!

“I’m grateful to have returned home to happy and healthy cats, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear they were well cared for in my absence. That said, I did notice an excessive amount of food left in their trays, which suggests my written instructions may not have been entirely clear or closely followed. Next time, I would definitely provide a step-by-step walkthrough of their feeding routine to ensure everything is as straightforward as possible. Overall, I’m thankful for the peace of mind while I was away.”


About: I have never been without a dog in my life! I love dogs more than most anything! They give such unconditional love. I spend most of my free time with dogs. Whether that’s training them , showing them or just laying on the couch cuddle them. I am a very caring person that is very attentive to pets needs. I grew up on a farm. I have experience with all sizes of dogs.I am a preservation breeder of bloodhounds( last litter 6 years ago sadly). There’s nothing better than being in a whelping box with puppies climbing all over you. I have experience caring for every age dog, as well as different health issues. I’ve also worked as a vet tech and have a lot of veterinary experience from changing wound dressings to administering pills and shots. Although not certified I have been training dogs my entire life. I am also an empath and have special connections with animals . I can tune into what they need and read body language . I believe in holistic health for people and pets. If you have a pet that needs special food ( raw, cooked, live) I have no issue with that. I treat my dogs like my children. They have a schedule, they are fed, exercised and have nap time and bed time consistently everyday. They live in my house with me. Currently have 3 bloodhounds ( 9,7&7 mo) and one cat who thinks he’s a dog😊 I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I have time late mornings (10-3)afternoon and evenings after 6 for pet visits and walks. My dogs are treated like family . I do believe in consistency whether that’s their routine or in their training. They are loved and spoiled but are also made to behave appropriately. Although bloodhounds do like to test the limits. lol I would treat your family pet the same with love , patience and consistency.

About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of dogs (energy & size wise) my entire life. I know how to deal with all different personalities. I also work full-time as a dog bather at a pretty popular dog grooming place around my area, so I have my fair share of dog experience! I am available for the given days on my profile- but can make accommodations given the circumstances. I currently work 9-4 on my available days at the dog groomer. I am always available to stop by and check in if needed. Although I do bartend/waitress most weekends- if need be- I can accommodate, though it is usually longer days and nights where I will not be available. We have a huge fenced in back-yard and a doggy camera (that also dispenses treats!) to check in when not home. Our golden now also loves car rides- so my car is set-up for a car ride if your dogs enjoys those.

About: I grew up with 4 dogs and 3 cats since the age of 15 and that is where my love of pets began. I watched my mother pour so much love and care into our fur babies and it warmed my heart. I have been entrusted to watch many friends and families pets and their animals have all been drawn to my loving spirit and nature. I believe it imperative to follow instructions given from pet parents as they know what is best for their pet and what their pets like. It can be expected that your pet will be showered with love, patience and attention and as many treats as they are allotted ✨ I do work full time Monday - Friday. Pet sitting evenings and Friday-Sunday would work best. I can accommodate longer depending on if your pet is house/crate trained and only needs a morning and evening walk. I have a fenced in back yard for pets to play and they are also allowed free roam of my home as I would keep all bedroom and bathroom doors closed. I have special placement for litter pans, crates and feeding area. In a clients home I believe in following all rules provided to keep with the safety and flow of the pets day to day life at home.

About: I love all dogs and would love to help out and watch your lovable dog! Walking your dog, playing with his or her, and or just watching him or her! I am currently an assistant kindergarten teacher during the day but I would still love to get to know your fur baby in the evenings and or weekends! I absolutely love watching dogs! I would love to help you out whether that be watching him or her or walking your dog while you may run errands, etc!
