“Gia was absolutely amazing! She cared for my two dogs over 3 days—17-year-old River, who is handicapped and in diapers, and 5-year-old Teddy, who’s very skittish—with incredible patience and love. She handled diaper changes with ease, gave Teddy the gentle attention he needed, and was always punctual. The thoughtful updates and sweet photos gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy, safe, and clearly loved her. I couldn’t have asked for better care. Truly five-star service!”


“Tammy did a great job with my little ones and even though there were some extra things that Tammy had to do (my little Lilly had an injury), Tammy handled the extra tasks beautifully!! She even got my little stubborn king of the castle (Rocky) to go back in his room with the others. Tammy was very punctual and I would highly recommend her!!”

About: Extensive experience taking care of both dogs and cats, with hundreds of volunteer hours at dog shelters (primarily Greyhound rescues)! Will give your pet all the attention it needs and ensure their schedule remains as close to home as possible! I am currently off for the summer and will be a full time grad student in the fall. Your pet will get all the attention it needs and will be taken care of as if it were my own! I have a friendly dog and two dog friendly cats (they love other dogs once they get to know them)! We have trails nearby to make daily (or more) walks a breeze! All furniture is pet friendly and cuddles are encouraged!

About: My whole life, I have had animals in my home, from rabbits, to fish, to dogs and cats. I have also worked at a veterinarians office as well as a local dog kennel. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own. I am happy to drop in and visit on the weekends. Depending on the service, I am also happy to help throughout the week, after my workday is finished. In my own home, I clean litter boxes often as well as snuggle and love on my babies constantly. I walk my dog using a leash, and we also have a fenced in yard, because safety is the most important thing.

About: I’m an experienced pet owner with three cats of my own (one being a foster pet). I would love a dog myself, but due to having multiple felines and a busy schedule, it is not the right time. However, I love taking walks and hikes and am overall very active. I would love to take along a buddy or two, especially if it helps someone out! I’m also open to drop in checks, or if there is enough notice I can flex my schedule to make sure your pup has whatever he or she needs to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I understand how scary it can be to leave the well-being of your pet with someone else and I will do everything I can to put your mind at ease while away from your companion. I work a remote/hybrid job Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm. If someone is close I can pop in during the day to let the dog out or take it for a quick walk. And then I’m fully available most weekends and evenings. I would need some instructions from the owner on exactly what they need me to do, and I would appreciate strong communication. I know how it feels to leave your pets in the care of someone else and if I can ease any anxiety that would be great

“Jill was amazing! She cared for our dogs like they were her own. I have 2 very different dogs with different needs and she was great for both. I have an older dog who needs love and slowness while the other is a younger hyper pup who needs alllllll the love and walking and energy. Jill sent photos while I was away. She took the worry away of being away from my babies!”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I started dog-sitting in high-school and it’s been my favorite job so far. I’ll also care for your kitties & home! I’m currently waiting to start my full-time career in January, so until then I have lots of free time to hang with your pups / kitties! I am very attentive to the pets I watch, and like to make sure they’re feeling safe & comfortable, even when their owners are away. Lots of happy energy!

“I was really worried about leaving my 2 cats with anyone. I had never been apart from them before. But Kennedy made me feel really at ease with everything. Both Plush & Narni were very well taken care of. Kennedy sent me photos everyday, to show how happy my fur babies were. I would defintely hire Kennedy to take care of my babies again. Thank you so much Kennedy.”


About: I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy. I'm currently working three 12-hour shifts each week providing me evenings on work days and full days twice during week and all weekend for caring for cats. I'm unavailable Wednesday evenings and weekend mornings for religious reasons. I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.

About: My whole world revolves around animals! Even as a child, I was always trusted with caring for pets of everyone in our large circle of friends and family. I treat all animals and pets as if they are my own. I have many references and lots of experience. I worked as a trainer, groomer, and in the medical field. Five years ago, I pursued my desire to help animals that are not as fortunate to have basic needs such as a home, family, etc. Since then, I contribute to rescue teams at various shelters. I foster frequently- from newborn litters to elderly dogs with special needs. It is always a great time having “extra kids” for a few days. I am currently a full time stay-at-home Dog Mom. I have the capacity day and night to take care of your fur baby. I can accommodate any schedule your dog is used to. I live in my own house with an outdoor fenced backyard. I have extra rooms if your furbaby ever needs some time to decompress. My house is 100% dog proof so your pet will have free range of the entire house! They will be able to choose where they want to sleep at night whether it is on one of the many dogs beds, my bed, or any room of their choice. My house was furnished with the comfort and convenience of the dogs that are here in mind. They are allowed on all furniture.
