About: I became a puppy mom in 1999 and have been a meticulous care taker of my own as well as rescuer and foster mom to many. Available 24/7 for inquiries and updates. I'm available to provide walks, drop ins, overnight in your home care for all dog breeds, ages and levels of care with meds, special diets, special care. Leash walking and fenced yard (always monitoring). Consistent and loving care for all breeds for standard and special needs. Meds, special diets, bathing, newborn to seniors. For overnight booking clients, please note that your house is my home base with your pets as the priority. I keep my radius for bookings close to my home and workplace. Like any normal pet parent, I do work a few days a week, run errands, pop home to shower and I may go out to eat or have an appointment otherwise my time is spent feeding, snuggling, playing, pottying, interacting and caring for your pets.🐕❤️ If you are interested in round the clock care, I recommend searching for sitters at triple+ my price point.

“Rachel is great! We have an anxious rescue dog, and she immediately put him at ease. He’s not the easiest to walk, and she handled him like a pro. Highly recommend!”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. My friends and family always ask me to check in on, walk, or sit their pets. I am willing to house sit and stay with your pets as long as needed. I don't mind small animals like rabbits or hamsters and am willing to look after reptiles as well. I have a full time job but am available most evenings after 4pm and every weekend at any time. I can do daily check ins every day for meal times but extended care only in the evenings unless I am house sitting. I have 4 dogs who's are all crate trained. Unfortunately I do not have a yard so I am not willing to sit dogs in my own home. I am a big fan of the dog park!

“Katie is amazing with my dog. My dog love love loves her. Katie is very with with animals and is able to handle my 60lb pitbull on a walk (not many can say that)! I highly recommend her!!!”


“Tayma did a wonderful job walking Birdie when my mother was taking care of her for the weekend. Birdie got so excited whenever Tayma came to get her she practically jumped into her arms. We definitely recommend Tayma to help with your precious pups.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m flexible, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved. I can’t wait to meet your pet! Since I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs! • Monday–Friday: Available all day for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. • Weekends: Fully available with advanced notice • Last-Minute Requests: I can often accommodate them, so feel free to reach out anytime. I’m happy to tailor my visits or stays around your pet’s routine! I understand how important it is to feel comfortable when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I treat every client’s space with the utmost respect, as if it were my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always happy to follow specific instructions to ensure your pet’s routine is uninterrupted and your home is left just as you found it. Communication and transparency are key—I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes every step of the way. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was a teenager. My family, friends and neighbors always relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have owned many dogs as well, including Golden Retrievers and Siberian Huskies. There was very little time in my entire life that I didn’t own as least one dog. I especially love to take dogs on walks. I have experience training puppies, I can administer medicine, and just love to be around dogs. Most of my availability is going to be during the summer. I am a teacher/librarian and spend most of my summer with my own dog. I would be available for walks, drop in visits, and I can stay in your house if needed. My home is a little too small for any boarding needs. During the school year, I can do Fridays when I am done with teaching for long weekend house sitting needs. I can also walk or drop by for a quick visit during the weeks before or after school hours. I currently have a golden retriever that can keep your dog company. I can easily crate your dog, take it for long walks as needed, and feed it meals. I will send pictures as often as you would like. I will make sure your home is in the same condition as I entered it in.

About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for them is second nature to me. I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and quirks—and I’m here for all of it. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and my ability to make dogs feel safe, seen, and genuinely loved. Whether your pup is high-energy, or just wants a cuddle buddy, I adapt to their vibe and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks and belly rubs—I do it all with heart and intention, just like I would with my own dog. Please note my house has stairs and I do not have a fenced backyard, so I cannot have play time with the dogs unless we can go to a dog park. Please also note my neighbors have a baby, so in order to be respectful to them and trying to help them as new parents, I don't sit for highly anxious or significantly barking dogs. I work from home most days of the week and my work is fairly flexible, allowing me to be home whenever your pet needs me. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I create a calm, clean, and cozy environment where they feel safe and relaxed from the moment they arrive. I follow their routines closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or quiet snuggles—so they experience consistency and comfort while you’re away. I’m attentive to their behavior and body language, making sure they’re not just cared for, but genuinely happy and at ease. Whether they’re the playful type or more low-key, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel loved, secure, and right at home.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over six decades, and caring for them brings me purpose. I've had dogs by my side my whole life, shared my home with cats, spent years riding and caring for horses, and even rescued a goose and few pigeons. I’m experienced with pets of all ages. I understand the special care they need and have hands-on experience administering medications and supporting aging pets with patience and compassion. Their comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I also have the patience to help young animals that are still in their training phase. Now retired, I have the time and energy to devote fully to your furry (or feathered!) family members. I believe every animal deserves love, respect, and lots of attention—and that’s exactly what I provide. Whether you’re going away or just need an extra hand, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in experienced, loving hands. I am retired so I am free to assist in any way I can, no job is too small and I am always happy to help. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take time to learn their routine, keep doors and gates secure, avoid hazards, and provide constant supervision, love, and calm, reliable care.

“I was initially nervous to get a dog walker, as I have never done so before. We did our Meet & Greet and Tim was so nice. My dog, Minnie, immediately liked him and when he came inside my cat, Nyx, came right up to him with his tail straight up in a "Hello" - which was a big surprise because Nyx doesn't normally like strangers! He was accommodating when it came to putting on Minnie's booties because of the weather. Overall, he exceeded my expectations and will happily have him as our walker again!”

About: I grew up with Dobermans and have had Boston Terriers for the past 30+ years as well as many cats! With my lifestyle being flexible, I can care at any time of day or night. I am an empty nester so my schedule is very flexible. Multi tasking is my strength and I can handle multiple animals at a time I am very conscientious with safety, especially when it comes to a pet getting loose. My Boston terrier is a runner so I’m always on alert.


“I was grateful Christine was willing to help me out at the last minute to walk Sophie. She is professional and friendly. You can tell she loves dogs. Sophie warmed up to her right away. I highly recommend her to care for your fur-children”


About: I have had pets for the majority of my life, but as of last year, I no longer have any (only fish). I’m missing a companion! I have always been good with animals and can not wait to meet yours! In the past, I have sat a pair of very senior dogs with many medical issues, so if your special pup needs a pill regiment or a diaper change, I can handle it. I am a health science major, so I am learning about human health, as well as animal. Whatever your pet-care needs, I will make sure they feel loved and cared for while you are away. I am about to start a virtual masters program so my days will mainly consist of working from home and taking walks out in nature, so I will have the perfect schedule for caring for your pet. In my home, I cannot currently house pets since I’m in a complex with strict regulations. However, I would take care of your pet in your home by not turning a blind eye to them, keeping doors safely secure, cleaning up after them and myself, and of course lots of play time!!
