About: I have had pets most of my life! I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even hermit crabs. I love spending time with animals big and small, young and old. I work full time, but am typically out of work by the afternoon. I will walk, play, and hang out with your pets. I can take them to parks, throw the ball around, or walk trails with them. If you have an older pet that just likes to lounge, I can do that too. I have had experience taking care of a variety of animals and their homes, ranging from dogs and puppies, cats, fish, chickens, and bunnies. I have a lot of fun watching and spending time with animals, I’m excited to spend time with yours!
“Mia was amazing, always on time and patient. My pup is a little shy and she took the time not to force her out on walks. Def will use her regularly when needed.”
“An absolute gem! My dog was sick all week and unfortunately had accidents inside my apartment, Maddie did not have to clean at all but she did. Such an amazing person!”

“I’ve used Emily countless times and cannot recommend her enough. She treats my pup like her very own and always keeps me in the loop while they’re out! She’s very dependable and has saved me last minute!!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with over 17 years of experience caring for my own dogs and dog-sitting for families. I understand that every dog has different needs—some love long walks and outdoor adventures, while others prefer gentle play and cozy downtime. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those requiring special care or medication. Whether it’s fetch in the park, belly rubs, or sticking to a trusted routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their comfort and well-being. This past year I unfortunately do not have fur babies in my home. I volunteer at the local animal shelter regularly working with cats and dogs looking for a forever home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment to reduce stress. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest. I’m attentive to their unique personalities—whether they need extra playtime, quiet companionship, or special care like medication or grooming. I keep the home tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain clean litter boxes or waste areas. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first.

“I highly recommend Ariana Kretz as a pet sitter. She has taken care of 4 of my dogs and cats over a number of years. Ariana is lovely with the pets, spending time with them and giving them her attention and is so kind in her interactions with them. She cleans up after them and feeds them and cares for the house when we have taken extended vacations. She is extremely competent and completely trustworthy. Most Sincerely, Taia Perry”
