About: Hi there! I’ve had animals in my life from birth to rainbow bridge, and caring for them has always been a part of who I am. I have PSI Training and continue every month. Dogs truly leave pawprints on my heart. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from large Alaskan Malamutes to tiny Yorkies, and I love building trust with every personality and energy level. I also share my home with Ellie, my sweet 2-year-old mini Labradoodle (just 12 lbs), who is gentle, friendly, and loves making new friends. Your pup will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I have CPR certification and puppy training. I work from home part-time and I am always here. My availability is open especially nights, last minute plans and boarding. I take my dog for walks 3x a day and would gladly bring yours too! I care with absolute passion.I have separate rooms for your pup and a large crate when needed. I have almost fenced in yard for lots of room to roam and play. As well as a furry friend to play with Ellie my mini labordoodle.
“With this being my first experience with the app, Lauren made the experience easy, and comfortable. Her and Winnie got along great. I was very happy to have the peace of mind, knowing Lauren was taking care of Winnie.”

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs ever since I was 10. I’ve had many dogs and recently had a puppy. I love animals especially dogs. Animals have such a soft spot in my heart. I’m currently in college but I also work full-time. I do have a flexible schedule and can make time, usually mid day is my best times. I have a fenced yard and I have a very high energy, playful dog to keep your fur baby company. I will feed, walk, etc depending on if you have a schedule with your fur baby.
“I was so nervous to leave our dogs while having to go out of town for a weekend. After researching countless options for them while we were gone, I came across Kennedy and her services! I read all the amazing reviews and knew she was the right choice. Kennedy was seamless with her drop in visits and although I told her to reach out if needed, she never did and knew how to handle/keep everything under control without needing any assistance at all. I love the updates and pictures she gives through the app after each visit! Even getting thrown for a bit of a loop after my dog entered her heat cycle in surprise, she dealt with doggy diapers and the fun of that whole scenario without even batting an eye. Thank you, Kennedy, for the wonderful experience and giving us the comfortability to be able to leave our dogs if needed!”

“May did a fantastic job with my pets while I was gone. I have two large dogs and four cats. She eased all my anxiety while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again”

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and will take great care of ur babies like they were my own. I'm a military spouse. Im also a mother of 4 children. I have a 8 year old black female Labrador retriever who super active for her age. She loves to play but is very calm when you need her to be. I'm active and love going for walks and runs with my Labrador. I grew up with dogs in my life as far back as I remember so I'm very loving and caring for animals. My home has a large size yard but not fenced. I am a Special Ed teacher so I'll be out the home from 8am to 4pm when school is in session. But I will be home on the weekends mostly. I'll be sure to come home on my breaks since I only work 5 minutes away from my home. I have a dog who is lovely and caring and will love to play with your pup daily. Since my yard is not fenced I'll let your pup out supervisored at all times or take them to a dog park to play out doors.
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. One of my earliest memories is begging my parents for a dog until they relented and got me a free puppy from the classifieds in the newspaper (yes, I am that old)! Over my life time, I’ve been privileged to take care of five dogs. They ranged in size from a 10 pound poodle mix to a 150 pound St. Bernard. My current fur babies are a rambunctious lab mix and two pampered house. cats As a pet owner, I know the importance of having reliable and trustworthy sitters to take care of my fur babies when I am out of town. I am that person who writes long and detailed instructions about feeding schedules, medications, and who to call in case of an emergency. Most afternoons, I am available to take your dog(s) for a walk, feed your cat(s), or just check on your house when you are away. I will text or email you updates with photos. I will take care of your fur babies and respect your home as if they were my own.
About: I highly think my home is an ideal place to dogsit anyone's pet, I live in a very quiet and calm neighborhood and right outside of my complex we have a huge space of grass field for dogs to run and walk for a while and enjoy water view scenery. My husband and I are real animal lovers and we would love to have your pet over. My apartment is very spacious and I’m comfortable with picking up messes in case an accident happens inside. Pet care fits in my weekend schedule starting from Friday’s until Sunday’s. Friday’s after 6pm, and Saturday and Sundays at any time until time for pick up or drop off. My husband has availability from Wednesday through Saturdays at anytime. I care for pets in my home by keeping them active, giving them time for naps. Scheduled feedings, if pet is on medication I can take care of that as well.
About: I have been caring for pets for as long as I could remember I grew up in a household that always had cats and dogs. One of my favorite things to do is spend time with animals. I have four years of professional experience assisting my mom with her pet sitting services. I I have done drop in visits walks and overnight house sitting. I not only have experience with cats and dogs, but I also have experience with puppies, birds, mice and even pigs. I do my best to fit into your pet’s normal routine. Whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’ll make sure they get care when they need it most. If you have specific timing needs, just let me know and we’ll work it out. Pets are our best friends It’s important to know they are I. Good hands when we can’t be there for them. I would be sure to treat your animal with the same love and care and attentiveness that I treat mine. I want to provide trustworthy and reliable care so that you know your pet is well taken care of while you are away. I would be sure to follow any guidelines you have for the well-being of your pet. I look forward to making new pet friends
“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 taken care of my family’s and neighbors dogs and cat for around 4-5 years. From simple dog walking to dog and cat sitting as well as overnight stays. I absolutely love all kinds of animals and could guarantee that your baby will be in great hands! I’m currently in school studying to be an occupation therapist. I also work at a brewery during the week, but as long as owners are okay with me coming after 9 some night, would be willing to do overnight stays Sunday through Thursday every week. I have plenty of breaks to between classes to take animals out for potty breaks or walks. I give my dog the absolute world. I always make sure she has the best food and goes for walks frequently. My care for my own pet would not differ from my car for someone else’s pet. I’m sure all of the owners feel as though their animals are their babies and I do too. I wouldn’t want someone to not care for my pet the way they would for theirs, therefore I wouldn’t do that to someone else. I will make sure the animals are adequately fed, walked, and taken care for whichever service I’m requested for.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and size dogs for over a decade. I've had two dogs personally that recently have passed away and I am looking to help fill that missing piece by helping other pet lovers. I have experience in feeding, walking and caring for dogs of all ages from puppy to senior, my late Husky kept me very active so if you fur baby requires extra-long walks and adventures, then I am the perfect sitter for you. Caring for your pet is something I take very seriously and will care for them as if they are my own. I work from home, so I am open an able to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on their needs and your request. I work from home, so my daytime schedule is flexible because of that. I can pop in or work from your home to care for your pet. I live alone with a fenced in yard. I had two dogs of my own (recently passed) so my house is already puppy proof, but if the dog sitting is in your home, I will follow any instructions you provide with in-home care and to pop in for dog walking.
“Lakota took great care of my two puppies while doing drop-ins. She updated me and sent pictures. She is very reliable, punctual and communicated well. I would definitely use her again!”


About: I have owned pets since I was 5 years old! I have lived with dogs all my life and have personally owned 2 dogs living on my own. I have experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as English mastiffs. Large dogs are where my heart is. I am the pet sitting in my family, taking care of my siblings animals while on vacation and working. I love all kinds of pet friends and am always thrilled to care for them I work until 4:30 Monday-Friday so I am available for night walks and drop ins. Take overnights and weekends on a case by case basis due to other job obligations I make sure I work closely with the owner to ensure all pets are as stress free and as calm as possible. I am very keen on body language and making sure the experience is good for the pet, with some treats as motivation if needed!

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.
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 work days M-F but love hanging out with your pets on evenings & weekends! I occasionally offer overnights when I know my own pups are accounted for. 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!
About: Hi! I’ve been a nurse for 9 years, and while I love taking care of humans, furry friends make me happier! I grew up with dogs and have spent many years watching/walking friends dogs & cats. I love to walk, run around and playing fetch, and give lots and lots of pets. Added bonus, I help take care of my nana’s 14 year old Jack Russel with diabetes, so I am well versed in giving insulin shots. I am a travel nurse and currently in between assignments for a few months. Most of my weekends are busy right now but I am available Monday - Friday anytime ! I have my 88 year old grandma and her dog at home so I will not be able to bring dogs to my home. But comfortable with going to others houses and lots of walks and time at the park !
