“Nick took such great care of my dog Lana while I was abroad! He kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped me feel at ease being so far away. I could tell he was attentive, responsible, and genuinely cared about her well-being. It meant so much to be able to trust someone with her during that time. Because he is so familiar with dogs and knows some dog training, he was also able to keep her calm when they would encounter another dog (with treats of course!) I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter!”


“Brenda’s super friendly approach with our puppy in their very first meeting put us at ease about having her walk him. She was also shared her own experience with dog walkers, which we found to be of great value. Lastly, Brenda’s scheduling flexibility has proven to be a great asset in our arrangement. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who asks.”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I’ve raised my own dog and cat from puppyhood and kittenhood into healthy, happy adults, and I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family over the years—ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, special diets, or just lots of love and playtime, I tailor my care to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Ready to spoil your pets with love, attention, and treats (if allowed)! Pet care is woven into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. Whether it’s my own dog and cat or pets I’m caring for, I build my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and snuggles. Being home also means I can keep a close eye on pets, quickly respond to their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved all day long. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I truly enjoy. In my home, pets have plenty of space to roam, relax, and feel right at home. I have a calm, pet-friendly environment with one gentle dog and one laid-back cat who both get along well with others. While my yard is unfenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks are part of the daily routine. I make sure visiting pets get the same love, structure, and attention as my own—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet spot to nap.

“Julia is great with Sasha. Our sweet Sasha is very shy and doesn't like to go out with people she doesn't know well but Julia is patient and plays with Sasha until she is ready to leave. She is also very reliable and communicative.”


About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I currently have a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix, and I've helped care for her sister (my girlfriend’s mom’s dog), as well as dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. From energetic puppies to senior dogs—and even reactive or nervous pups—I’m confident and comfortable handling a wide range of needs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience not only as a pet owner, but also as someone who actively volunteers with animal shelters both in the U.S. and abroad. I try to volunteer anytime I travel, especially in areas where stray dogs need extra love and care. These experiences have taught me how to connect with nervous or anxious dogs by being patient, gentle, and understanding their unique personalities. I'm calm, friendly, and highly reliable. I know how important it is to keep pets on their regular routines, and I’m committed to making sure every dog I care for gets the exercise, stimulation, and affection they need. I also have experience administering medications, basic training, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience. Im currently working in a restaurant so my schedule can be changed if booked in advanced. i am typically available during both the weekdays and weekends until 4 pm My house has a fenced in yard and my family dog is friendly but typically would stay somewhere else while your pup is with me. When I'm at your house I will make sure to follow all instructions and leave things as I found them. I will also make sure there is nothing for your pup to get into such as trash cans or anything else they tend to go after.

“Rachel was amazing and our two girls loved her! She really helped us when we were in a bind and needed someone to take them for a walk. We will definitely be looking to book with her in the future!”


“We have only good things to say about Kate! She was friendly, professional, and so good with our dog. She took excellent care of her, and I’m sure she’ll take good care of yours too.”

About: Growing up, I always had dogs in my family home and my love for dogs began at a young age!

Dogs are welcome on furniture and are treated like family! I am responsible and reliable and genuinely love caring for dogs. I am available for boarding/pet sitting on weekends and can do Friday evening drop offs, with Sunday night pickups. During the week, I am unfortunately at work in my office in downtown, but have very flexible weekend schedules and a partner that works from home and can assist with schedule accommodations! I am a homeowner and I have a fenced in yard with ample wooded space behind for walking, playing, and exploring. I am also located within close proximity to hiking trails/nature trails. I also have a medium sized crate in my home if the dog needs to be crated at any point! I have a 1 year old mixed breed, 30 pound rescue dog named Maverick that will surely keep your dog company- he absolutely loves socializing with any and all dogs! Dogs will be treated like family here.

“Jackie was an excellent pet sitter for my nine-year-old chocolate lab while we vacationed for five days. She took great care of him, as if he was her own dog. She administered his medication (he has severe allergies), took him for long walks for exercise, allowed him to play with her adorable puppy, and gave him lots of love and snuggles. He had so much fun that I think he was disappointed to come home! I would recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog sitter.”

Annabelle N.
“Annabelle is one of the most responsible and diligent pet owners I know. She loves her two dogs more than anything and proves how much she cares about them everyday. Her compassion and courtesy carries over from her daily life to her pets and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my own dog, but her. She will never leave a job undone and is extremely disciplined when it comes to a task. She has endless patience while dealing with any pet and I can't think of a better position for her than making that her job. Nor can i imagine a better person for the job.”
