About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home since I was born. Now I’m raising one of my own, and he’s my soulmate. While I’ve never worked with animals professionally, over my 30+ years of personal experience, I’ve learned the ins and outs, the good and bad, of what it means to love and care for a dog and give them the happy and healthy life they deserve. My desire to give that to any and all animals is a huge part of me. I’ve always just naturally connected with dogs, but I’ve also volunteered at various pet shelters and taken dog behavioral courses. I’ve done pet sitting for numerous friends and family members. Every dog is different, and I’ve found myself to be very in tune to each individual dog I’ve met in order to get to know them and earn their trust. I’d love the opportunity to meet yours! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks. Right now, my open schedule is Monday-Friday during the day, from about 10am-4pm, give or take. I’m generally unavailable in the evenings. For drop-ins, I’d be happy to do feedings and water refills, potty breaks, and of course snuggle and play indoors or outdoors. For walks, we’ll stroll in your neighborhood! Please let me know if your dog has any triggers or sensitivities (loud noises, other dogs, squirrels, humans, etc) and I’ll do my very best to avoid them. I will always take your dog out on a leash. No matter how well-trained and impressive your pup is, I’m just not comfortable with pups I don’t know well off-leash. Harnesses are preferred in addition for large pups.

“Amanda was wonderful to work with. She took a last minute drop in job and was fantastic to communicate with and my cats loved her. Would definitely book again.”


“Peter was great with Quila, our old lady. Whether it was a question about cat care or just updating me on his check in visits, his communication was awesome. Quila had no complaints either. 🤣”


“Would 100% recommend Sophia! I felt very at ease knowing she was taking care of my fur baby while I was gone. Great about sending updates and being really attentive/considerate about everything. Thank you!”


“Dana was so great to work with. My pup instantly loved her during the meet and greet. I had her drop in to let him out for a potty break mid day. He really appreciated the break and attention from her. Will definitely reach out again in the future.”


“Liza did such a great job with our nervous and shy boys! Liza gave detailed reports and had quick communication. We came back to two happy cats and we will def book again!”


“Molly is so wonderful with our home and our kitty. We so appreciate her flexibility, responsiveness, care and consideration. We look forward to working with her in the future.”


“Sydney has cared for our kitties before and as usual did a stellar job looking after them while we were traveling!! We loved the thoughtful daily updates she sent.”


About: I love dogs and have spent a large part of my life caring for animals. I am well experienced with all breeds of dogs and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I spent a few months working in a doggie daycare as a daycare attendant and watched over 20-30 dogs each shift on my own. I also grew up with several cats and cared for a dog since I was twelve. I trained my family dog and currently own a cat named Pepper. I am looking to spend more time outside with dogs as I enjoy being around them but don’t have the space to have one of my own. I work freelance so I am able to pick my schedule. I love spending time with animals and enjoy getting to do so daily. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I would protect the dogs I walk from harm, keeping them out of the road and in safe areas for animals. I have spent time with all temperaments of dogs and feel confident to handle all different breeds. I would never hurt a dog to reprimand it and I would follow all instructions provided by the client.

“Sarah was very reliable and communicative. She sent plenty of pictures and went above and beyond. I’m happy I booked with her :)”


About: Animals love me, and I love them! My family has always had dogs, and I was always the one to walk them. Tiny dog? I'll walk them. Medium dog? I'll walk them. Big dog? I'll walk them. REALLY big dog? I'll walk them. I have walked dogs of all sizes, ages, and speeds. No matter the size, dogs respond well to my energy, and they can tell I'm excited to see them. Even if your dog doesn't like walks, I can stop by and let them out in your backyard and even throw a ball for them 1 to 100 times. I'm currently working part-time from home on a boring computer. Happy to take a break to hang out with your cute animal(s) instead! I usually go on a walk 1-2 hours a day, so why not bring your dog along? I also have a car, so I can get to your neighborhood in a breeze. I have experience walking reactive dogs. I am aware of my surroundings and always cross the street safely if I spot another dog approaching. I always communicate with dogs in a friendly and calm demeanor.

“My 2 kitties love Kayla! I was gone for a couple of days and she dropped by to feed & play with them. Since first meeting her, she has been diligent, flexible & great at keeping in touch (which my overprotective tendencies appreciate). I specially like getting lots of pictures of happy cats. Highly recommended!”


“Megan took fine care of our nervous, grumpy cat while we were away for a long weekend. Appreciate the photos and updates through the app. We’ll definitely book with Megan again next time.”
