“Great sitter! Alexandria is attentive to instruction, kind, communicative, and great with animals. She took extra time to play with my cats and cleaned up any litter box mess.”
“Elaine is a wonderful pet care taker! I booked her for multiple days as a home visit for my 2 Schnauzers while I was away and my husband worked during the day. The pups are used to me being home during the day so Elaine really provided the attention they needed. She was prompt, meticulous about staying the full time, gave the pups lots of attention, and communicated daily. Will definitely book her again.”
“Samantha replied to all of my messages immediately. I am very picky with my dogs, so I had a detailed list of instructions, and she followed them precisely. One of my pups has an issue with snapping, but Samantha gave him his space and had no problems. I will definitely use her again.”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching over our elderly girl, Mecah, while we were away. Mecah is not always at ease with men but she was quickly comfortable with Brian which spoke volumes. Brian was timely in his visits and we even found Mecah staring out the front window at 7:30 waiting for him to arrive AFTER we were home! I think she will missed her new friend. It was critical to us to have someone who could physically assist our elderly 60lb girl as she has occasional challenges walking and Brian was up to the task. Thanks so much Brian and Mecah will hopefully be seeing you again in the spring.”
“Very grateful for the wonderful care Elena gave our 17 year old cats while we were away on a recent trip. She is caring, thoughtful, dependable, reliable- everything you want in someone who is caring for your family.”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was young, my grandmother taught me grooming skills on her poodles and we had a Maltese rescue. I was also a manager of a dog boarding facility in Indiana, so I've seen a lot! I was responsible for administration of medications, handing injuries and runs to the vets office. I can handle just about anything from large power-house pups down to the little sassy woofs! I currently work part-time, with full autonomy of my schedule. I'm able to care for your baby whenever you need. Let me know how I can help you! I have dog sat pets of friends, family, neighbors and even new clients. I've cared for dogs on medications from pills to insulin. I have experience with many different play & feed routines as well as various structures that owners have for their pups. I understand the stress of leaving a pup at a facility so I value the importance of having someone you trust caring for your fur baby in their own home. I'm also fluent in curbing unwanted behaviors- if there is something I can do to continue the training you're diligently teaching your dog, let me know! I'd love to help continue that when the pup is in my care.
“Emily did an amazing job siting for my puppy. He is a high energy mallinois but she made sure he got great exercise and plenty of fun in! Also very reliable and trustworthy while out of town. Will def be using her again and I’m sure the puppy will miss her!”
“Molly was amazing !!!!! You can tell immediately that she loves animals and will be perfect to put your mind at ease knowing she will take care of your fur babies !!!! She communicated with us to keep us up to date and she was timely and dependable !!!!”
About: I have been around all types of animals from a young age! I had 2 dogs growing up and have 3 today! I have been dog sitting for friends and family for quite some time. The last three years I spent in Texas and had 8 clients in my neighborhood ranging from mastiffs to teacup Yorkies. I did lots of dog walks, over night visits, and check ins rain or shine! I am a gig app worker! I deliver for instacart and DoorDash! I am very flexible and can change my schedule around to meet your needs! When I care for pets at a clients home I am focused on the dogs! I bring my own food and water and camp out with the dogs till you return! I do not leave for hours at a time! I Feed them according to your schedule and regular bathroom breaks every couple hours!
About: I’ve grown up with herding dogs and adopted my mixed breed rescue puppy, Mona, who is now 2 years old! Ample experience with puppies, training, and adult dog care. Additional experience with high-energy dogs, like herding and working breeds. Open availability throughout the weekend with lesser flexibility on weekdays for boarding and daycare. Contact me if weekdays are needed, and I'm sure we can agree on something that works! Dog Walking: I ensure your dog’s safety by walking routes on quiet streets in the area. Depending on trails and parks near you, I’m open to walking/ playing with your pup in different environments besides neighborhood streets, like taking a trip to the dog park if one is within walking distance! Confirmation of this is required beforehand to ensure the safety of your dog when coming in contact with other pets. Additionally, I do not bring any other people or animals with me. Day Care: Although I live in an apartment complex, I have a large dog park and many safe routes for walks. Your dog will receive ample exercise in addition to socialization and play with my own pup!
About: I have helped raise and train dogs since I was a child, and have loved sitting and taking furry friends on adventures for several years now. I've cared from young puppies all the way to seniors, including giving any medication that was needed. Pets truly are a member of the family and you can trust me to treat them as if they are one of my own. It's because of this that I send daily photos for those who wish it, or just capture memories of the pups having fun. I do have a dog of my own, so their time with me can have socialization, or they can be one on one. I am a full time elementary school special ed teacher. So I am available any day before 6:30 am and after 3:15 on weekdays during the school year, and all hours on weekends for walks or check ins. I can do boarding any day of the week. Please feel free to reach out about any inquiries as school breaks like summer and days off school free up my schedule at different times of the year. I have a fenced in backyard, and am less than half a mile walk away from a massive dog park and only a few miles away from the dog beach. I have a 25 lbs dog myself who is always eager for a playmate, and I can crate your dog if you wish at night or while I am at work.
About: I am a former special education teacher who has loved and taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ll love your pet as my own! I am not working right now so I have a lot of time to care for your pets. Weekdays or weekends work for me. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I can go to your home to care for your pets. Your fur babies will be safe and loved in the comfort of their own home while you are away.

Shayne M.
“I am pleased to share my experience with Shayne as a dog sitter and walker. Over the years, I trusted her with my elderly mixed breed dog and my very energetic young German Shepherd, each with distinct needs. Shayne consistently provided exceptional care for both, and her ability to respond to their individual personalities was impressive. My senior dog, who has since passed, required a gentle and patient approach, and Shayne understood her needs, ensuring that my dog always felt comfortable and well-cared for. Shayne’s thoughtful care brought me peace of mind during those later years. Meanwhile, my German Shepherd, full of boundless energy, needed more active engagement and stimulation, which Shayne handled with enthusiasm and skill. She channeled my puppy’s energy into productive play and exercise. What truly sets Shayne apart is her professionalism and genuine passion for animals. She works with the utmost care and attention to detail, consistently making me feel confident that my pets are in excellent hands. She is reliable, communicative, and thoughtful, providing regular updates about my dogs’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Shayne to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated dog sitter or walker.”
