Savanah was great walking my 2 beagles. She was always on time and my dogs really liked her.. one of my dogs is a little special and Savanah seems to figure that out and made her feel more comfortable when walking with her. I would recommend her!

About: Trustworthy and Caring Dog Sitter with Over a Decade of Personal Dog Ownership Experience. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter. I look forward to providing a safe and trustworthy environment for your dog, filled with love, care, and endless belly rubs. I currently work outside the home full-time M-F with a lunch break at 1200 where I come home and walk my 12 year old dog. I have a fenced yard, a 12 year old Yorkie, and plenty of places for your pup to explore on walks. Your pup will be cared for as a member of the family.

Hope was wonderful to work with. She was very easy-going and did a wonderful job communicating with us. She gave a recap her time with Vader which was nice to read and we were very comfortable using her as a dog-walker for our pup. We look forward to hiring her again in the future! Thanks Hope!

Sheri was great. I asked her to come and do a meet and greet before her and Juliet went on their first walk and she did. Sheri picks Juliet up from my parents place where she does doggy daycare. We work with each other schedules to make sure they align.

Jessica was very accommodating. She was willing to come early, to get my pups out for their morning walk when I was out of town. She was great at communicating and giving updates and pictures. Highly recommend her services. She has alot of experience and I will definitely use her again.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been walking and sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was very young. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, including behavioral training with dogs over 100 lbs. I've also lived with multiple cats and love giving them attention whenever they want it. As a huge animal lover without pets of my own, I'm always looking for my daily dose of furry companionship! I treat every pet like family and would love to help care for your fur babies while you're away. I work part-time on Fridays through Sundays, but my schedule is extremely flexible and I'm happy to discuss times that work best for you and your pet's needs! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my behavioral training experience, I know how to read body language and handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm attentive, responsible, and always follow your specific care instructions. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets, so I'm happy to provide updates and photos for your peace of mind. Whether caring for your fur baby in my calm, pet-friendly home or in the comfort of their own environment, I'll make sure they feel loved, secure, and right at home. Whether I'm visiting for walks, drop-ins, or staying in the comfort of your pet's own home, I'll make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, from big high-energy breeds to tiny puppies that needed extra attention. I’m calm, patient, and very comfortable with anxious or shy dogs. I’ve even helped with a newborn puppy delivery when the mom needed assistance. Friends, coworkers and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, crate, and give their pets structure and comfort while they’re away. As an active-duty Navy instructor, I bring reliability, communication, and a clean, respectful approach to every home I stay in. I currently work part-time with short 4-hour shifts every other day, which gives me plenty of time for overnights, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week. My schedule is very consistent, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and keep routines stable. I treat every home with respect and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I’m very comfortable with big breeds, anxious pups, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I follow your routines closely and give your pets a calm, structured, and safe environment.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is the level of love and care I give to every dog as if they were my own. I’m a dedicated dog owner to two pups of my own, and they are truly part of my family. Because of that, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be treated like family, with plenty of affection, patience, and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently have open availability, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. On weekends, I’m flexible and happy to spend as much time as needed with them, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my schedule. In my home, pets can enjoy our large backyard and the company of my two friendly dogs. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine and schedule so your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and at home. Either way, they’ll get plenty of love, play, and attention.

About: Hello, my name is Kathy and I offer drop in visits, day care, and walking for mellow and senior dogs and I specialize in caring for cats and kittens. I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my whole life, from young ones to seniors, as well as sick pets who need medical attention. I am skilled at giving oral medication and shots. I also volunteer at my local no-kill shelter and handle cats of all sizes. My husband and I live with our small introverted tripod dog and 2 cats in a house with a fenced-in backyard. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with sidewalks. Our home is a relaxing space for senior, mellow, and/or introverted dogs - if your dog enjoys cuddling on the couch or slow strolls around a quiet neighborhood, then we have the perfect home! I also offer the following services separately: - Dog baths (shampoo + conditioner; $15/bath) - Cat nail trimming ($10/session) Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home with a generally flexible schedule. I'm able to set my own hours for the most part and can be available over lunch as well as before and after work. I'm also able to take frequent breaks to let dogs outside in our fenced-in backyard with a 6-foot fence. After work, we will go for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm the primary caretaker but my husband helps when he is home. Boarding: I have a small, introverted tripod and 2 cats. As such, I will only board mellow, senior, and/or introverted dogs who are good with cats. My cats will not bother your baby as long as they don't bother the cats. Drop-ins: I understand every pet has its own personality and will respect their needs! I'm happy to play with your energetic companion or leave your shy loved one alone and let them come to me. No matter what, I am always attentive to their body language.

About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and he is my whole world. I will treat your fur baby with the love, care, and attention that I show my own fur baby. When I’m watching your pet, they will be safe, happy, and have the best time! I currently work full time, but I am available late evenings on week days and all day on most weekends. I am always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I live in an apartment so my dog gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, mental, and physical stimulation throughout the day. I provide a calming, safe environment in my home for my pup, and I bring that same calm and caring energy to every animal I meet.

About: I am a certified, professional dog trainer, through the Victoria Stilwell Academy, a Pat Miller Certified Trainer and, have an 3rd certification through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers. I only believe in Positive Reinforcement/Force Free training. Dogs are my life! If you have any behaviors you would like me to work on while they are with me let me know. If your pup comes to stay in my home, they will be treated like one of the family. They will receive all the love and attention they get at home. Plus they will have 2 playmates, my pups Sophie and Vinny! Let's talk and see if your pup will fit into our little family. You can rest assured they will be happy and healthy in our home. I do ask that we do a meet and greet with my dogs before I accept any appointments. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am retired from the Air Force and own my own dog training business. So I set my own schedule and can give your pup all the attention it needs. I have a fully fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. Vinny will play all day if your pup wants to, but he is very respectful if they are not as active. Sophie is very independent and like to lounge around the house. Your dog will never be left alone with my dogs if I have to leave the house. I always separate the dogs when I leave, just in case anyone gets grumpy.

Sheri took GREAT care of my dogs, communicating promptly when one of them barfed up something strange (he’s fine) and checking on him later in the day. She also added an unscheduled morning walk and feeding when my flight was delayed. She’s a pro.

Sheri was great. I asked her to come and do a meet and greet before her and Juliet went on their first walk and she did. Sheri picks Juliet up from my parents place where she does doggy daycare. We work with each other schedules to make sure they align.
