“Thank you, Rachel, for the drop-in visit! I always feel nervous leaving my two corgis alone for several hours, so it was incredibly helpful to know they would at least get their treats and a potty break to cheer them up. I really appreciate Rachel's communication, the questions she asked beforehand, and all the photos she took!”


About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 20 years of my own pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! I am self employed so I have the ability to give your pet all the time and focus it needs. I routinely walk my dog at the local parks and around the neighborhood multiple times daily and could easily do the same for your puppers or kittens too. I care for my cat daily with lots of play and petting too. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.
“Excellent sitter incredibly caring in detail my dogs loved having her around. Also incredibly flexible after our flight was canceled. She was able to watch them an extra day so thankful to have her.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around animals since the age of 8 and have always cared for them. My friends always rely on me when in need of care for their pets. I currently work at a shelter and a vet clinic so I can provide any needs necessary. I work part-time in the morning so before I leave I’ll walk and feed them and once I come back home I’ll take them to the park for a walk. Your pets will always be under supervision. If anything is needed I will gladly do it. I make sure to provide at least 3 walks per day but if more is needed that is no problem. I may not have a fenced backyard but I will make sure your pet gets the exercise and playtime it needs. For dogs I’ll take them on walks at the park and for our fellow kitties I’ll make sure they get extra one on one playtime. Open to any activities you may want me to do with your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Jahari — a full-time college student with real-world animal care experience, both in and out of the clinic. I currently work at a veterinary office and volunteer at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, so animal care isn’t just a side gig — it’s a passion deeply rooted in my everyday life. With 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 birds of my own, I understand how important trust, patience, and personalized care are. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a shy senior cat, or a talkative parakeet, I adapt to every pet’s unique needs and personality. I’ve also cared for exotics and farm animals, including goats, chickens, and reptiles — so if your fur baby has feathers, scales, or hooves, they’re in experienced hands. As a full-time college student and current veterinary office employee, I’ve built a schedule that balances academic goals with my passion for animal care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, with early mornings, evenings, and weekends available for drop-in visits, walks, overnights, and even farm animal care. I also volunteer at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, so working with animals is not just a job — it’s part of my everyday life. With flexible class blocks and experience managing time across multiple responsibilities, I’m able to provide dependable, compassionate care without compromising the attention each pet deserves. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and medication — and tailor my care to their unique personality. With experience in a veterinary office, volunteering at Loggerhead, and caring for a wide range of animals (including dogs, cats, birds, goats, and more), I provide calm, reliable, and compassionate care that helps pets feel safe while you’re away.

About: As a mother of five grown children and a devoted dog owner, I have spent much of my life caring for others with patience, kindness, and responsibility. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have often helped friends by looking after their pets when they were away or in need of extra support. Through these experiences, I have learned that every pet has its own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to understand and adapt to each one. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and a sense of security. Now that my children are grown, I am excited to dedicate my time to helping other families by caring for their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently not working, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and flexibility for the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy having animals as part of my day.

“Stacy is our GO TO petsitter for our cat Maggie. Maggie is basically a dog living in a cat's body - she will come running to greet people at the door. Stacy is great about sending pics and videos and paying extra special attention. She is also a wonderful pair of eyes on the house while we are away.”

About: i come from a background of volunteer work at no kill shelters like peggy adams. this taught me a lot of different things about furry friends, different behavior patterns, temperament and health needs. i have been professionally sitting for the past few years now with cats and dogs and with all of that experience, it makes me very fit to take care of pretty much any fur baby at this point. i love animals and i treat every pet as if it were my own. i work in the healthcare industry remotely, so I do have a flexible open schedule. any specific timing requirements needed can be discussed before the visit. i have a fenced in patio and backyard area where i let my animals room free whenever possible i take them on long walks around my neighborhood and just kind of do all i can to ensure that they’re active and safe and make sure that my gates are constantly locked. especially if i know i will be going for a long walk and i will ensure the same safety in your home as well.
About: I have grown up my entire life with dogs from miniature poodles to German shepherds, pitbulls, and boxers and adore them all. Taking care of animals is my passion!

We love Debbie! She is an incredible dog walker, reliable, caring, communicative, and someone we could always trust with our dogs. She is especially patient with our little guy, who has some stranger-danger issues, and took the time to help him feel comfortable with her. She is truly perfect for what we need and gives us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for dependable and thoughtful care for their pets!

Crystal took the best care of our 2 fur babies while we were on vacation. She had the special touch and our pups warmed right up to her. Crystal communicated daily and let me know that my babies were doing well. I love being kept in touch with in real time and Crystal nailed it! We will definitely be working with Crystal for all future needs.

I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough. She has been incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive with my dog. Her professionalism, punctuality, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I always know my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands.
