“Beth is so wonderful with my cats. They are so happy when she comes! I really appreciate how reliable she is and completely trust her caring for them. I highly recommend Beth. Thank you!”


“Lindsey was so great checking in on my two cats! She came the same time every day and gave me updates on how they were doing and what they ate. Lindsey was super communicative and I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands!”


“Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.”


“Tiffany is the best! Kiwi, our golden retriever absolutely loves Tiffany's visits because of how much play and attention she gets. I fully trust Kiwi in Tiffany's care. She recently took care of her in our home while we were away for a night, and I was amazed at how calm Kiwi was when we returned. Knowing that Tiffany is a vet's technician also gives me peace of mind.”


“Elizabeth was wonderful! She was thoughtful and attentive, and both kitties seemed to warm up to her really quickly. She went out of her way to provide exceptional service, and I’d be happy to make use of her services again!”


About: I absolutely love animals! I have taken care of various sorts of pets including hamsters, dogs, cats, fishes and birds. I have been involved in animal rescue and foster work. I love taking care of them ❤️ I own a Persian cat and four fishes, I look after them like they are my own kids. I have plenty of experience when it comes to taking care of cats, dogs, birds, and fishes. Your pet will feel at home when staying with me, I will make sure to love them like my own and play with them and look after them sincerely.

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.


About: First of all, I absolutely love dogs. I love all animals, really! I have experience with dogs having grown up with one. While I only have a cat at home, I find myself always checking out dog videos online and I frequently jump at the opportunity to dog sit for friends and family. I am more than willing to help in any way I can. I will play with your dogs and make sure they are walked and taken care of. I do work a full time job from 8am-5pm M-F but I would be happy to help with anything outside of these hours. My coworkers and family would tell you that I am extremely respectful and a very hard worker. I am dedicated to everything I do, and I strive to make sure my job is done correctly. I love to laugh and am a people person. I cant wait to meet your pups and meet you! I hope to see you soon!

About: Growing, we had all kinds of pets from dogs, cats, rabbits, even a raccoon! My mom is a dog breeder so I have a great deal of experience with all dog ages. I now have a cat and dog of my own. I am currently transitioning out of a full-time job so I have a lot more free time that I’d love to spend doing something I enjoy. Due to me living in an apartment, I will currently not be offering care in home unless necessary. There are dog parks in the area that I bring my own pup to along with trails that would be available.

“Brittany has been excellent as usual. She checked my cats teeth and the health of her legs. I had no idea she had arthritis in that area. If you want a nurse and fun companion for your let, Brittany is the one!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 13 years. I have 6 dogs of my own who are well cared for and get all of my love and attention. Dogs to me are like children who need to be well kept. I do my best to keep your fur friends happy as can be along with their owners. I do not discriminate against any breeds. I love and care for any animals as if they were all the same. I believe in quality service and I strongly recommend a person like me for the job. Things will get done Professionally and correctly. If any one has any questions or concerns I am free and willing to answer any of them at any time of the day. I am currently a college graduate looking for some extra side cash to save up for law school. I am currently a school bus driver for special needs children Monday through Friday. I have prior dog care experience. I my self care for six of my own dogs. I do not discriminate against size or breed of one’s animal. I quite honestly find joy in interacting with animals, it puts a smile on my face like no other job could.

Veronique was wonderful with my two huskies- I am always super concerned when I leave them alone & stress over their care. She was great at keeping me updated, sent me consistent updates, photos and videos. It’s important for me that my dogs connect with their sitter and it seems my two connected very well with Veronique. I’d absolutely recommend her and would totally book future sitting appointments with her. Thank you much for caring for my big boys 🐶 🐶
