“Rachael rearranged her plans at the last minute to spend the weekend with Izzy and Thor, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and happy!!”

“Mia was amazing with Bear!!! She took such good care of him and he loved her. Was super communicative and I loved how excited she was to watch our pup. We’ll definitely reach out to Mia again :)”

“Was great having Samantha watch my pups! She kept me updated throughout, took great care of them and left the place cleaner than I had left it. Super grateful and definitely recommend!”
“Destiny and Treonna were awesome! They took great care of all of our pets and our house. Destiny was a good communicator and texted us each day with an update and pictures. I would highly recommend them.”

“Leaving our dogs at home is always the hardest part of traveling, and we naturally worry about them. We’re so glad we found Efraim and the dogs absolutely love him! He did a wonderful job taking care of them while we were away. He was also very patient with our senior dog, who can be quite picky and slow with food, which we truly appreciated. We loved the updates he sent, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Efraim! We truly appreciate the care you gave our dogs and will definitely book with him again in the future.”

About: I'm free most days (except 12:30-3:30), I have always been dogs & cats around my life I've taken care of 5, and I can do as long as needed dog walks I'm free any day (except 12:30-3:30 PM) I can stay overnight too if needed. I am very flexible with my routine. With dogs I am always out so I take them on daily walks, even outdoor ones like hikes, I am very aware of my surroundings while walking them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am skilled in training puppies and providing gentle care for the elderly :) Can teach your pup how to sit, lay down, wait, stay on their spot, and even how to shake your paws on it! c: I’m currently working part-time on the weekends, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your beloved. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sits all day on Mon-Wed; on Thu-Fri I am available from 8AM-3PM; Saturdays and Sundays can be negotiated :) When caring for your pet in your home I will maintain their exact daily routine, memorize home logistics, note the primary veterinarian info, respect any off-limit areas for the pet and myself, clean up if needed, care for the pet’s physical safety, and provide you with consistent photo or text updates as requested :)
“Allison totally came through for us. We added a third dog at the last minute (a large puppy even!) and she was willing to take all three dogs, two weekends in a row. Everyone seemed quite content when we came home. Will definitely use her great dog sitting services again!”

“Vicki did a phenomenal job taking care of our boy Mylo. Mylo had to get some emergency stitches the day before we were going out of town. Vicki handled his care perfectly, sent us regular updates and dealt with all the drama that comes with Mylo having to wear a cone. We cannot thank her enough and absolutely would recommend her to everyone else.”

About: I have had a cocker spaniel poodle mix for 7 years and I regularly walk, feed, and take care of him. I have also had him since he was a puppy, so I have experience training him. I have walked dogs in the past and I am currently open to housesitting gigs. I regularly do overnight petsitting for my aunt’s small dog and a nearby couple’s dog and two cats. I work from home most of the day and leave the house for a few hours to teach at a local dance studio. I would love to care for your pet. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I work from home most of the day and will be away a few hours at a time when I teach. Let me know of your pet needs a person with them for extended periods of time! I want to emulate the environment your pet is most comfortable in and used to! I am happy to follow the routine they are most accustomed to.
“Tina was an amazing overnight dog sitter at our house! My dog is a rescue and is very nervous around other animals, so we have to have the dog sitter stay at our house when we can't take our dog with us. However, she warmed right up to Tina and they had a great time together. It was a 4 day overnight job. Tina was wonderful about sending updates and pictures, and she was detail oriented in giving medications. Will definitely use her again!”

“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! As a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands-on pet care experience, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention, patience, and lots of love. I’m also a proud dog mom to Stevie, my adventure buddy who joins me on weekly hikes and keeps me active outdoors. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or attentive in-home sitting, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust, and I look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and house sitting throughout the week. I make it a priority to give every pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, exercise needs, and any special requests. If participating in daycare, my home has a fully fenced yard and is located just minutes from Larkey Park, providing a safe environment for play, exercise, and enrichment.
About: I'm on the same wavelength with animals: saved, took care of them, loved - from puppies to parrots. Each ponytail left a trace in my heart. Pet care is part of my everyday life🐶 I feed, walk, and play with the dogs daily, making sure they feel very happy and comfortable🐾 I’m happy to take your dogs on as many walks or hikes as they’d like, and I always make sure they get the attention, care, and love they deserve. Whether it’s an active adventure or a calm, relaxed walk, I adjust to each dog’s needs and personality.
“Another 5-star review for Emily 🥰 she took care care of our dog Benny, cat Simon and our house for a week and made us feel so at ease with videos and updates ☺️ honestly, couldn’t wish for a better experience”

“Thanks again to Courtney, we were able to enjoy spring break knowing our house and pets were in good hands. Came back to happy pets and a house in good order as usual!”

“Halona is wonderful! She is now our go-to walker and house sitter. Halona has taken our 100 lb American Bulldog on many walks, and has stayed at our home while we go on vacation, including a 10 day trip. She is friendly, always on time, and 100% trustworthy. And of course our dog absolutely adores her! We did lots of research and interviewed many candidates, she is the best by far. So happy to have found her!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for others through nannying and customer service roles, so being dependable, attentive, and patient comes naturally to me. I have experience working at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and have done pet sitting for a few years now. I truly love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of companionship and affection. I'm currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I'm hoping to mainly focus on building my pet sitting business. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.

We had the pleasure of hiring Elaine again during our 18-day trip, and she was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of our little dog, who requires a lot of attention and affection. Elaine sent us daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, we found a clean house and, most importantly, a happy and healthy dog. We feel very lucky to have found Elaine and would not hesitate to recommend her. We look forward to working with her again in the future.

Ef was terrific - personable, responsible, caring, communicative, and dog-smart - from booking, to stopping by a second time on the day before we left so he could connect with Polly and double check arrangements, to reporting while we were gone, to debriefing on our return.

Megan was great, very nice and respectful and most importantly took great care of Milo and Ivy! It was their first time being cared for by a non family member and I was probably more nervous than they were but Megan was very accommodating and I could tell she’d take good care of them. She was responsive and sent pictures and left the house in a great state. Would recommend for sure!

Samantha was wonderful. Both fur babies were in excellent spirits and health when I returned. She communicated with me at appropriate times and I never felt any stress. The house was in wonderful condition when I returned. Samantha even washed and changed the sheets. I will be happy to ask her back!

Rylie is a frikin rockstar!! We were desperately searching for overnight boarding care for our small Maltese and it was safe to say that we made the right choice picking Rylie. As soon as she walked through the door, our dog immediately loved her. She was so kind and courteous, and kept in touch sending updates, which made us feel that much more comfortable. We are definitely going to book her in the future. Thank you again so so much Rylie you are the BEST!

We came home and found Prince happy and well cared for. He was sad to see us leave for our five day trip, but he brightened up as soon as he saw Rachel. We feel he is in great hands when Rachel is caring for him and our home while we are away. Highly recommend her:)

Highly recommend Sonya. She did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and house. She pays attention to the details and communicates regularly. Sonya went the extra mile to engage with our pups and they really liked her. On recent trips, even with responsible sitters, both dogs have displayed some anxiety/stress behaviors when we were gone but not this time! We came home to calm, happy, healthy hounds and a clean home.

Unbelievably GREAT!! I got pictures ,updates. She was able to stay longer when my plane was delayed. House was in great shape when I got back , I would highly recommend her. My dog is sweet but can be a little difficult so I really need a sitter that can handle him anyway very happy
