Trevor was on time and attentive with my furry crew. He was good about sending daily updates and my dog and cat seemed to like him. My house was as I left it.

Nadine took great care of our dog. We received updates throughout her time watching him which gave us piece of mind he was being taken care of and given attention while we were away. Couldn't recommend enough! She went above and beyond.

I highly recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs. She was an amazing sitter and took wonderful care of our three dogs, guinea pig, and fish. Our dogs have become very attached to having someone home since my husband started working from home, so it was a huge relief to know they were happy and calm in Donna's care. Her calm demeanor and warm personality made our dogs very comfortable, and we appreciated the daily photos and messages she sent to keep us updated. We also returned to an immaculate house. Donna’s care truly made our vacation much better. Please do not hesitate to book her for your pet sitting needs.

About: I’ve owned a dog since I was in fifth grade. I love dog walking and have dog sat for plenty of neighbors, friends, and family over the years. I take pride in giving pets the best time they can have while there owners are away! I work at an animal shelter part time where I provide care mostly for cats and at a dog groomer where I love on all the pups and make them look their best! I can teach your pet tricks as well. Right now, I am working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. Just let me know your schedule and I’ll get back to you. I will take the best care of your home and treat it as if it is my own. I don’t mind cleaning up any pet messes.

About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

About: Dog walking is something I love to do. I take my dog (a boisterous standard schnauzer with quite the mind of his own!) on a walk everyday and love to help others out by giving their pup some exercise! I know that all dogs are unique, so I will take great care to make sure that I follow any instructions given and make this a great experience for the dog. I am good at reading a dog’s body language and know techniques to help calm a dog down if it gets overstimulated and will take necessary steps to ensure the dog’s comfort. I also know my way around the neighborhood, and can take the pup to new and exciting places (within the owners comfort level of course!) so they have a great time! As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule with ample time to dedicate to taking care of pets. I usually do morning and evening walks (as to avoid too high temperatures) and throughout the day can provide general pet care. I have a large, fenced in yard that pups can run freely in with my own dog. There is also a pool that they can use (under strict supervision of course!) and they have free access to all areas inside the house. We are also conscientious about making sure there are no dangerous things lying around (eg. socks, small items) that the dog can get to.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child, whether they were family or friends or my own pets, I made sure to make myself available when they needed me. My experience includes dog sitting, dog walking and even taking care of medication. I’m currently finishing up college so I am available before and after my classes with any availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When summer starts I will be working part-time at an internship so I will have continued availability that I will update as soon as I can. I have one dog and one cat living at home with me. They are both older now but I’ve had them since they were babies. I am responsible for both animals, for example cleaning up after both of them, feeding them, taking my dog out 3x a day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family since I was much younger. I’ve helped take care of small dogs and bigger dogs as well. I work full time but have flexibility to help with your pet before work, during lunch, and after work. My availability on the weekends is much greater. I treat every animal with respect and kindness as if they are my own. Every animal is special and deserves to feel valued! I stand by that

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing training, maintaining routines, and providing gentle support for older pets who need extra care. I’m detail‑oriented, safety‑focused, and communicate clearly so owners always feel informed and confident. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around consistency. I’m comfortable with early mornings, scheduled walks, feeding times, and regular check‑ins. I treat each visit as a priority, making sure every pet gets dependable care and attention throughout the week. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — feeding times, walks, play, training reinforcement, and any medication needs. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and energy so I can adapt my approach and help them feel secure. For puppies, I reinforce the basics: crate routines, potty breaks, consistent schedules, and positive training habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, offering slow walks, mobility support, and medication reminders. No matter the age, I keep communication open with owners through updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so they always feel confident and informed.

About: My friend and I raised our pup from when she was only 8 weeks old, so I have experience with all of the puppy to dog related things :) I'm a teacher and a volleyball coach during the school year, so I have plenty of free time in the summer to help out with your fur babies! Being a dog mom myself, I am super cautious when it comes to taking care of any animal. I make sure we are in a safe environment, harness / collar / leash is connected properly, and I stay alert to make sure your dog can have a fun and calming walk! For at home care, I am timely for potty breaks, making sure your pup gets some love and anything you ask for while I am there!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the past 15 years! I’ve walked dogs, trained dogs, bathed them. I have my own dog Laila, and we live in an extremely dog friendly part of town with a big yard and lots of space! I would love to pamper your dog while you are away and make sure they feel safe and at home. I currently work a 9-5 remote job so I am able to make my schedule work based on the needs of your dog. I am able to take the dogs out in the morning, afternoon and evening and my weekends are quite open. I primarily work at home and go to the gym, outside of that I have a lot of free time to walk around and play with your dog. At most your dog may be home alone for 1 hr. We live in a house with a yard, with lots of areas to walk the dog and take them to dog runs or fields to get their zoomies in!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve done dog sitting and dog walking for different breeds and personalities, and I’m comfortable keeping up with routines, giving extra patience and care when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility in the summer when I’m off. I’m very active and enjoy staying busy by being outdoors—going for walks, spending time at the beach, and staying on the move. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them is something I enjoy as a hobby. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and the home. My goal is always to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.
