“Mary is so nice and took really great of Lizzie Lou why we were out of town. I would definitely recommend and leave anyone of my fur babies with her anytime. I didn’t have to worry about Lizzie I knew she was in great hands. Thank you again Mary you’re the best. Kellie”
“Roxanna was a pleasure to work with! She took great care of my two dogs, was flexible with drop off/pick up, and sent pictures and videos of them while I was traveling.

Overall, I would recommend her to anyone who needed dog sitting!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

“Michaela did an amazing job watching our fur-baby, Holly. She sent pictures and provided updates; she had amazing communication! I was afraid to leave Holly with a “stranger”, however, Holly loved staying with Michaela! And we felt completely at ease after meeting Michaela, she loves all animals. I cannot stress enough how great the experience was with Michaela, we will definitely be using her in the future! If you need somebody to love your spoiled pup while on vacation, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to contact Michaela, you will not regret it!!”
About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.
About: Hello! I’m Angelica! I’m happy to meet you! Feel free to book me as I am willing to do almost anything to fulfill your pets needs and satisfy you as a customer. I do have experience as I have studied animal anatomy, am/have been a volunteer at near by animal rescues and shelters, and I have three dogs myself (two of which live with me and the third being a family dog)! I love animal and am always willing to learn something new and have plenty of references to help back up all this information! I prefer to do dog sitting in my home since I am able to have free access to emergency kits, constant walks and be able to do boarding at the same time as dog sitting. I have experienced in administering medications as my family dog has seizures and needs round the clock care. I will promise to shower your baby with attention and unconditional love! I am currently working 3rd shift and my partner works 1st. Due to this, there is always someone home with the pups who is able to take them out for potty breaks and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard that is high enough to prevent any escape artists! I also have two friendly dogs who will be more than happy to run around with your pup and let off some energy!
“Jeanette did a great job pet sitting Bentley for the weekend. She sent me pictures each day of him. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over five years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic pet (most recently, an axolotl!). I have two dogs and a cat of my own, though they’re currently living out of state—so I’m really missing the daily joy of having pets around. I'm a responsible and reliable professional with a full-time job (8 AM – 4 PM), so I’m available for care in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m experienced with senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra care for animals with specific needs. I always aim to follow your instructions closely and make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or special care—I'm here to help and treat your pet like family. I’m a full-time professional with a work schedule from 8 AM to 4 PM, which means I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, check-ins, walks, or cuddle time outside of those work hours. If you're planning a trip or need consistent care during non-work hours, I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I create a calm, nurturing environment where animals feel secure, respected, and loved. In your home, I follow your routines closely and maintain a clean, low-stress environment so your pet feels safe while you're away. I value building trust—with both pets and their people—so I always communicate clearly and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, your dog will get plenty of leashed walks, fresh air, and attention. I make sure they get the exercise, care, and affection they need, all while staying safe and secure. Your pet’s well-being is everything to me, and I care for them as if they were my own.
