Tawnya was such a a great sitter for our pets. She was patient with our shy pup and sent pictures with every check in. I can't recommend her enough and will be using her again.

Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.

Thank you Brigit-for being such a great pet sitter. Your temperament is excellent I think when pets are stressing about where their pet parent went—-I’m so glad my Cleo came out from under the bed the first day with you and I appreciated the daily snapshot of your visit….was a treat for me to have daily check ins. Hope you can sit with my Cleo again as needed..

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have poured my love and dedication into every moment I spend with them. I am comfortable and confident in administering medication to dogs, always gentle and patient. Playtime, walkies, baths… they’re more than tasks; they’re opportunities to bond, to share joy, and to show your beloved pet how truly special they are. I am tuned into dog body language, knowing exactly when to give space and when to offer comfort. I don’t force interaction or push boundaries. Yet, I won’t hesitate to get down on the floor, to play, cuddle, and love just like I do with my own furry family. When you call on me, you’re not leaving your precious baby with a stranger - you’re entrusting them to someone who truly believes they are family, deserving of all the love and care in the world. I currently work remote which means I have flexibility throughout the day to visit with your dog - whether that means cuddles, walks, or practicing the tricks we already know. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay with your pet all day (arriving as early as 7:30am and ending the day at 10pm, with a few hours away during lunch and in the afternoon) as long as you have decent WiFi. Please note, I am not able to stay at your home overnight. I believe parents make the rules! I am flexible to your requests because you know what works best for your dogs. Do they need to be crated? Do they need the TV on all night for comfort? Do they need their teeth brushed? Do they need to be walked right before bedtime? I can do it all. I am happy to transport to and from specific walking trails, dog parks, etc.. Want to socialize your dogs but having them leave your house makes you nervous? I can bring my dogs with me to visit your pup! I’ll follow your lead because you know what’s best.

About: I have had dogs for many years and loved them all. Whippets and rescues, poodles, and mixed breeds have all found love in my home. I have cared for dogs of others, both in my home and as a house sitter. (I will housesit for cats but cannot have them in my home due to family member allergy). I have cared for puppies and all ages, including senior dogs. Medication, feeding, walks, playing, loving...all can be done. I am retired from working as an art therapist. We have a young pup at home who loves other dogs. I am home throughout the day and will work with needed schedules. When I am out on errands, etc, my pup currently is free to roam the house. We have a fenced yard, a dog door, and easy care home. I will work with whatever requirements are needed to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.

About: My own pets have been dogs, cats, chickens, a rabbit, and a goat. I started volunteering in vet clinics 2006. I've been caring for other people's pets since 2012, including dogs, cats, exotic birds, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I am experienced with special needs animals, elderlies, and those recovering from surgery. I've completed over 100 volunteer hours walking rescue dogs at Animal Humane. I am comfortable working with some behavioral challenges. Training I have received as a dog walking volunteer for Animal Humane: 2026 “Play Groups, Meet-and-Greets, and Dog Fight Response Training.” 2025 “Advanced Dog Walker Training" “Calming Canines Training" 2024 “Safe Dog Walker Training" I've also been volunteering at spay/neuter events since 2016. Some of my photos are from those. Please note that I am not representing any organization. I work from home and I make my own schedule. I wake up before 6 am so I am available early. Helping out with pets is my favorite thing to do! Outside the home or your fenced yard, dogs will be on-leash and distanced from other animals and people. I do not mix animals from different homes.

About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them. Being retired I can spend as much time as needed to care for your fur babies. My versatile schedule allows me availability to be with them whenever needed to let them out, play, feed and check on them. I look forward to meeting them, and you. I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.

Geneva was a dream!!!!!!! My cat instantly liked her and she can often be shy with new people. Geneva took such great care of Cocina while I was gone for 2 weeks. She sent photos and videos everyday and made sure my kitty got the best care, brushes and chit chats. I would hire her again!!! THE BEST!!! 6 STARS, if you ask me. :)

Daniel is a TRUE professional. We have a big pet family with a lot of energy, and it can definitely be a handful at times — but he handled everything with ease. We were nervous about traveling for our vacation, but Daniel was absolutely the best person for the job. He went above and beyond by doing multiple home visits beforehand to make sure our pets felt comfortable with him, and he was fantastic from the start. While we were away, he checked in regularly, sent photos, and spent real quality time with each of our pets. We genuinely appreciate his professionalism, his communication, and the level of care he showed our pets and our family. He made them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!
