“We were so pleased with the care our rather old, rather shy cat received from Crispin. And, to my amazement-the kitty area was as clean as I left it. Crispin, both kitty and I thank you!”

About: I currently work part-time at a doggy boarding place and I’m trained to work with all the types of puppies and seniors or any in between know how to administer medication and those that are time sensitive have also worked with disabled doggy’s ❤️ I currently work part time so on my extra time off, I like to take care of your pets when you are not available or just need the extra help ❤️ I will care for them the same way I care for my pets and give them all the hugs and love that sweet innocent pups deserve

“Cheryl is truly an excellent sitter. She is professional and cared for our cat as though he were her own. Her three daily visits were at our agreed upon time, accompanied by photos sent to us of our pet, his food and cleaned litter box. Very reassuring to us. She went above and beyond with a minor breakage which occurred in her absence (due to an oversight on our part, not hers), and in spending extra time playing with our kitty. We will certainly have Cheryl back in our future absences - she is the best!”

“Kathleen watched my cat Odie over a long weekend and took great care of him. She’s easy to communicate with, is very knowledgeable about animals, and sent plenty of pictures with each visit. I felt totally comfortable with her caring for Odie as soon as I met her. Thanks for taking such good care of Odie! I’d love to have you watch him again!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with experience in puppy training, walking, senior care, and giving meds. I treat every dog like family—dependable, calm, and full of love! I have a very flexible schedule, which means your pet will get my full attention, care, and companionship all day. I love spending time outdoors and going on walks, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or keeping a consistent schedule, I’m here to give your pet the love and reliability they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent—regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection. I treat their home with the utmost respect and make sure everything stays clean and secure. During dog walks, I’m always attentive, making safety a top priority while ensuring they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel loved and cared for in their own space.

“She handled my beagle like a pro!! Very sweet dog sitter.”

“Jessica did a great job taking care of Buxton while I was gone for a few days. She understood the different needs that he had and was flexible with her schedule when we needed to adjust. She did a great job of sending pictures and updates on each visit. I recommend her highly.”

Jeanne D.

“Mike did a great job at watching Dante! He followed all the instructions I gave him and I was able to leave for the weekend with no worries. I'm glad to know I'll have a reliable sitter in the future”

About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

About: My first friend and best friend was a sweet as pie cockapoo named Pinky. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently share my life with a beautiful, sweet, and athletic pitbull mix named Jackie. Jackie loves to make new friends and since I have a fenced in yard my home is perfect for playdates! Hoping to meet and care for some great animals here. I work from home full time. I run my own business and have a flexible schedule. I’m very active and spend a lot of time at the beach. I have a fenced in private yard with lots of space for doggies to play. I live in an upstairs unit of a duplex and my downstairs neighbors have a small pug.

“Always great when we book with Leo - very attentive and flexible. Good communication while we were away, and we came home to a very happy cat! Will book again, for sure.”

About: I bring a mix of patience, playfulness, and big pet-loving energy. Whether we’re running around, snuggling, or exploring, your pet always gets attention that feels personal, fun, and full of care. Pet care fits naturally into my Wednesday-Sunday schedule. I plan my days around walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, making sure every pet gets unrushed, focused attention and fun I respect your home and your pet’s routine-clean bowls, secure doors, mindful of boundaries, and lots of attention. I treat your space and your pet with real care.

“Grace was a great help during our vacation! She made drop-in visits to feed our timid/shy kitty Lucy and provided timely and comforting updates each day including photos. We would recommend Grace as a sitter to anyone!”

About: I grew up with two Labrador retrievers and have lived with and cared for dogs my entire life. From big, energetic breeds to smaller dogs with strong personalities, I am comfortable adapting to each dog’s needs and routine. I currently spend my time around a corgi at work, so I’m very used to structure and consistency in a pet’s life. I take a calm, attentive approach and treat every dog like a true friend. I work a work-from-home role with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around dog walks and drop-in visits. I am available throughout the morning and daytime hours and can provide consistent, reliable care without rushing or overbooking. I prioritize calm, safe, and structured care in both my home and clients’ homes. I have a fully fenced grass yard and a heated and air-conditioned garage that can be used as a quiet, separate space if a dog needs time to decompress or be alone. I follow all owner instructions closely, including leash use, feeding routines, dietary restrictions, and access rules. I also have an SUV with ample interior space for safe, comfortable transport when needed. My goal is to provide an environment where dogs feel secure, respected, and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, a lifelong animal lover with a calm, patient approach to pet care. I don’t currently have my own pet, so I treat every dog like they’re my own and understand that each animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I want to help make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for! I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send photo and update check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have years of professional experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and am comfortable following specific instructions, routines, or medication needs. I’d love to meet you and your dog! Send me a message to set up a meet-and-greet :) I have a full-time job from 9:00-5:00 on weekdays. However, I am available after 5:30pm on my available days (check my availability) and am flexible on weekends! I am doing this as a way to meet amazing pets and make a bit of extra income :) I spent years as a professional dog-sitter. That being said, I am comfortable working out of others homes and respecting their space. While I don’t prioritize dog-sitting as much as dog-walking, I am willing to consider dog-sitting on a case by case basis.

“Daniel was great help looking after our dog Sasha. Sasha is very energetic and playful, and Daniel gave her all the care and attention she deserved while we were out of time. Highly recommend!”
