About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses as an undergraduate student I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. My friends and family have depended on me while they are away on vacation or working long days. I have begun offering my services to the general public. My love for animals has always been strong. I actually prefer animals over humans! I recently became CPR certified for both cats and dogs so you will have peace of mind when your pets are in my care. I am a self-employed professional with a very flexible schedule working mostly remote. This gives me the opportunity to care for your pets when needed. I offer overnight stays in the comfort of your home or a flexible walking schedule as needed. I realize every household has different needs and I will try to accommodate.

Cayton was so great with my pup, Kala! We just moved to the area and have been looking for a dog walker. We booked a drop-in appt for Sat evening and Sun morning and Cayton made a trip out prior to the drop-ins to meet us and Kala, which was something we very much appreciated! Kala has always been a good judge of character and she loved Cayton, so we knew she was in good hands. Cayton gave us detailed updates with pictures for both drop-ins, which was great. Kala was very well taken care of and we plan on using Cayton in the future.

About: We have a 6 year old Golden Doodle with plenty of energy! Always love having other dogs with him to play to enjoy our large fenced in yard. He has lots of energy so can keep up with your dog, but always knows when it’s time to chill! We limit the amount of dogs we take to ensure a stress free environment for all, especially when taking on new friends! We do have a young son so will need any dogs to be friendly with children Majority of the time myself and my wife both work from home - one of us is here at all times and love to spend time outdoors with our dog Fenced yard - approx 1/3 acre enclosed Friendly and playful golden doodle who gets along with everyone. We’ve cared for many friends dogs and would treat yours like our own

Sarah has been amazing to work with. She’s incredibly reliable, very communicative, and just an all-around friendly, positive person. My dog loved her instantly and now gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She takes her on long walks and always sends great photo updates, so I feel completely at ease knowing how well she’s doing. It’s clear she genuinely cares. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their pet!

Terry is the absolute best dog sitter! She is wonderful with our dog and very professional! We’ve had Terry as our dog sitter for several years when we go on vacations or weekend get aways. As our dog has gotten older, we don’t worry at all that she will be taken care of while in Terry’s care. I highly recommend Terry for pets young and old. Thank you Terry!
