“Brianna did an amazing job taking care of my cat Rhubarb! She is an experienced pet sitter/owner and was able to give Rhu her liquid medication. She was also super communicative and friendly; I really appreciated her report cards describing their time together, complete with lots of photos!”


“Alysha is the best! This has been a busy out of town season for us as we travel frequently to watch our daughter compete at college swim meets. Alysha has been there for us and we could not be more thankful for her care of Lola while we are away.”


About: I am a very kind person to animals and people! I try to treat people and animals as I would like to be treated. I would love to care for your pet and will always try to do the best job that I can. Growing up my family always owned a dog and I love all dogs of all sizes. We owned chihuahuas and we owned boxers and pugs. I also own a cat that I love very much! I hope that you will consider me to care for your pets when you are not able to. I promise to treat them as though they were my own. I hope that you will consider me to care for your pet and will do my best. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be fully present with my dogs and cat and any animals I may have the privilege of watching. I typically have a routine with my dogs and cat. They all get fed twice a day. I try to play with them a little every hour and we typically take walks twice a day as well. I do have an outdoor play area for them they go out supervised about 4 times a day

About: Hi! I’m Alana, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, a cozy place to stay while you’re away, or just some extra love and attention at home, I’m here to help! I treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a structured walk, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. ✅ Flexible scheduling ✅ Regular photo/video updates ✅ Safe, calm, pet-friendly home (or happy to come to you!) Let’s chat and see how I can support you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱 Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I prioritize it just like any other responsibility—because pets deserve consistency, attention, and genuine care. Whether I’m going for morning walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, or hosting pets in my home, I make sure their needs are fully integrated into my schedule. I plan my day around feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles to ensure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also build in time for communication with pet parents, so they feel confident and informed while they’re away. We have a lead we use for our two friendly dogs. Two kennels one large and one medium incase your furry friend needs to be kenneled.

“Bella took care of Lucina on very short notice, and kept her happy, fed, and entertained as best as a drop in visit could do. She would be my first choice if I ever need a cat sitter again and I'd recommend her to anyone!”


“Elizabeth came to meet us on a Thursday and was able to care for our dog on Saturday. She was thorough, patient and detailed with our pup and her report with how things went. Our dog can be barky with new people but that didn't stop her. We will use her services again in the future! Definitely recommend to others.”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs in the house taught me how to care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique personalities. While I can’t have a pet in my home right now, I jump at any chance to care for my friends' animals, whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just being there to keep them company. I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. I work just a couple of days a week, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your needs for walks or drop-ins. I treat your home as if it were my own—always with respect and attention to detail. I make sure to clean up after your pet, whether it’s litter boxes, food areas, or accidents, and I aim to leave your space even cleaner than I found it. You can relax knowing your pet and your home are in responsible hands.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

About: I have a lot of experience with pets, specifically dogs, as I’ve had pets my whole life and really love them. I’ve had both puppies and older dogs so I have experience taking care of both. Besides my own dogs I have dog sat for neighbors multiple times and other family members and find spending time with these dogs to be very enjoyable! I also have a lot of experience dealing with multiple dogs at once as, for most of my life, I’ve had multiple dogs and have dog sat for people that have multiple dogs. I am very comfortable with all kinds of pets! I’m currently working part-time from about 9am-4pm but have plenty of time after this to take care of pets. My weekends are also often free! When caring for pets in clients homes I am sure to respect their home and the rules they have set. I understand that every house operates differently and want to honor that

“Isabella is the perfect dog sitter. Arrived on time and spent time playing with our dogs. Our dogs loved her, even the shy older dog. We received pictures of happy dogs and reports of feedings and potty. Would highly recommend Isabella.”


About: I’ve taken care of Dogs for many years now, always giving them the proper care and attention they need. They are family to me! I would love to be able to be apart of your dogs life! I’m currently working a part time job with a very flexible schedule. I’m available mornings from 8-10, and then most evenings after 3. Weekends I can also be available with enough proper notice in advance:) I have lots of land for dogs to play, and inside areas for them to relax, drink, and eat. My neighborhood is particularly quiet with not much traffic going by.

“Deedee is wonderful! Our cat is usually very shy and hides but she came out and got her meds and treats. I had no worries with Deedee taking care of our girl and highly recommend her services!!!!”


About: I've had dogs my whole life! Most have been middle size dogs - lab mixes, etc. I have experience with taking care of all size of pets though.I also walked dogs at a local humane society until I adopted my own bundle of joy! I have dog sat for all different sizes and types of dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them. Like I said above - I sometimes prefer dogs over people haha! I would love to get back into walking and socializing dogs looking for good homes! I love being able to help them find new homes! I just have a connection with dogs and love being around them! I currently work during the day but am free nights and weekends and would love to meet your member(s) of the family! :)

About: I have been a CVT for 15 years, actively working at an emergency/specialty clinic. I can care for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats. I have a part time job that is flexible, my main focus is pet care and services. I am available most days and hours. I am pet sitting or caring for pets on a daily basis. I will utilize your house to care for your pets so they are more comfortable and less stressed. I will follow your daily routines to keep them feeling secure.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own Chesapeake Bay Retriever, who is my best friend. This personal connection has given me insight into dog behavior and the importance of patience and consistency. I’m comfortable with high-energy breeds and providing attentive care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s playing, walking, or ensuring pets feel safe and loved, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As I am currently available full-time, I have complete flexibility to care for pets any day of the week, at any time. Whether your pet needs early morning walks or midday check-ins, I can easily adjust to their routine to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for. I provide attentive and personalized pet care, whether in my home or at my client’s home. In a client’s home, I ensure pets stick to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a loving and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for at all times.

“Charles was great! Very professional and responsive to any questions and any instructions we left. Sent lots of pictures and updates and our cat seemed very happy and well taken care of when we returned. We will definitely use him in the future and would recommend him to anyone!”


About: Previous employment I'm skilled with breaking up dog fights, grooming animals, walking animals, training animals, etc. It would be my absolute pleasure to give your pets some love while you're away. I like to stay busy, so if I have free time I prefer to fill it rather than not do anything. I have a heart for animals and if I can occupy myself by helping care for others pets, why not do just that? My pet has a lead that is within our homes perimeter so she cannot go into neighbors yards, I also have a kennel for her to be put into if need be. Depending on others houses, usually there is a fenced in yard for the pet to be let out in, I still prefer to watch when they get let out just to make sure they don't misbehave.

Sadie S.
“Sadie is a phenomenal pet caregiver. She has taken care of my dog, Gizzy, on multiple occasions. The most recent being for a week long. She would take her on car rides, walks, made sure to spend time with her and tend to her needs. Gizzy is an elderly dog, and Sadie did very well at acknowledging her age and adjusting what she needed to do different because of this. One example is giving her a joint supplement everyday and assuring that she was using her stairs and not jumping onto beds. I would recommend Sadie to any pet owners in a heartbeat.”
