About: I have had experience raising cats and dogs since I was a young girl. My family dog when I was a little girl got a bad skin infection and I nursed him back to health with daily baths in oatmeal bath wash. I’ve raised kittens and puppies from 4-6 weeks old and even weened my 4 year old Dutch shepherd off of milk. I’m the kind of fur mom who finds an ingrown hair in her collie and gets him medicine to keep him in pristine condition. My love for animals is endless and I would love to treat your babies just as I treat mine! I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to come and take care of your pets! I look forward to showing you how devoted I am. In my client’s home, I will make sure there is nothing left dirty or stinky! I will feed your pets and offer them lots of love and take them on walks. I also follow a routine of supplements and medication for my dog’s so I am really good at following schedules that require strict needs. I know how important diet is and will only feed your pet provided food.
About: I have taken care of family and friends pets for many years. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring their well-being and happiness. I will care for your dog as if they are my own. I currently work full time from home which allows me more time to be hands on with potty breaks, walks and some attention if needed more frequently. We will play in the back yard together. Go on walks around my property. We'll play in my finished basement. And have plenty of time to relax if they would like as well. I have the space where I can easily crate your pet if necessary.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life constantly having at least 1 dog and 3 cats. I know how much fur babies mean to families which is why I promise to put their safety first by keeping mine and yours separate. I would risk my life for my babies so I'll do the same for yours. I also have experience with bunnies, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish so I'm open to caring for them. I am trying to get a job but for now, I'm home all the time. I go to school for two classes Monday-Friday so I am gone from 9-12 but my schedule is completely free after that for now. I will always keep my pets separated from yours. They will be walked at different times and as for litter, food, and water, they will be stationed in a room with me to make sure they are fine. I would risk my life for my fur babies and would do the same for yours.
About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals from playful puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need extra care and patience. I started out volunteering at animal shelters, then gained hands-on experience as a vet assistant and kennel tech, where I helped with feeding, meds, and basic care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also helped on my uncle’s farm, caring for everything from livestock to barn cats. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and treat every animal like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently in college and part of a sorority, but I still have plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. My class schedule is flexible, and I plan ahead to make sure every pet gets the attention they need. I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I always make time for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Pet care is something I love, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure their space is clean, secure, and calm. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I am an experienced dog sitter who cares for your pet likes my own. When I dog sit I make my home like the dogs home away from home. I am caring and attentive and make sure your dog has the best time. I am always opened to dog sitting! I work from home so I have plenty of time to care and be attentive to your dog! Your Dog’s Safety and Happiness Are My Top Priorities. With me, your pup will be in a loving, secure, and stress-free environment. Whether it’s for a few hours or a few days, I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and constant attention. You can relax knowing your furry baby is in good hands.
“Alyssa H. did a wonderful job. She was extremely responsible and considerate. I will definitely request her help again with my fur baby.”
About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. I started caring for other people's pets when I was 12 yrs old, maybe younger. During highschool, I worked at a horse farm. During college, I worked at a local veterinary hospital for almost 10 years. I'm currently a stay-at-home momma to my almost 3yr old daughter and a wife. While she's in school for half days, I can care for your fur babies in the mornings and in the afternoons. We will play ball, go on walks, play tug-a-war, get lots of belly rubs and ear scratches, do some tricks for some yummy treats. If your pup gets scared of storms, I will make sure to stay with them until the storm passes or you return. I will lay with them to help calm them. They can sit on me if needed, whatever works for them to feel comfortable.
“Thank you Christian for being so amazing with my dog, for being such a good communicator and putting my mind and heart at ease while I was out of town. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have grown up with pets in my home and I believe there is no better friend than a pet! I have experience house sitting, drop-in visits to check/feed/let out pets and even get the client’s mail. I also have a lot of experience pet sitting dogs, cats, and love taking them on walks and playing outside. As an out of state student, I miss my own pets so being able to take care of someone else’s pets is so special to me and would bring me so much joy! I have been told that I am a very loyal, dependable, and loving person. You can always count on me to be there when I am needed and I will take the best care of your pet. I currently coach soccer a few evenings a week and have games on the weekends. I also work as a Certified Medical Assistant everyday Mon-Fri, I have some select weekends that I’m happy to pet/house sit and some evenings during the week as well. I prefer to take care of pets at the clients home and I would do this by spending quality time with them, taking them on walks, and making sure all of their basic needs are met.
About: Since I was very young I was around cats all the time. I helped care for the strays outside my home, the cats at my grandparents' house, and I was always fond of them! From 2011-2025 I had a cat that I cared for deeply and dedicated myself to named Jordyn. I used have two cats, Jordyn and Pippin, and I help care for an elderly dog at home named Sugar. I am confident in handling animals with medical issues, as Pippin had diabetes and Jordyn was diagnosed as an "allergic cat." I currently have numerous animals in the house, including snakes and chameleons. I'm very fond of large dogs too! I have a very open schedule and I'm able to care for pets seven days a week. I have reliable transportation and a clean record! It's all very dependent on the pet I'm with. I try to be gentle and approachable with the animal until they're comfortable with me, and then will I ease into being more affectionate. If I were with a very skittish and solitary animal I would make sure to keep my distance as not to upset them too much and keep them calm. Everyone has different requests and rules, but I'm willing to abide by all of them for the comfort and safety of your pet!
About: I have had pets my entire life and have had a full-time pet sitter for over 10-years during my professional athlete career, so I know first hand how important it is to have a pet sitter you can trust! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, who I love with every inch of my being. I have loved animals from as far back as I can remember and I've never met a pet I didn't already love! I have expert experience in multi dog/cat households of all shapes and sizes and experience in administrating medications and following strict food diets. I worked full-time in rescue for several years and spent many years volunteering before transitioning into my current role where I manage a business full-time. I currently work 7am-4pm, Monday-Friday but I am available to stay overnight during the week and full-time on the weekends. My schedule does change often so please reach out if you are interested in my services! I take a lot of pride in taking care of all pets and will honor your requests and wishes during my stay to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy during our time together. I am always ready for playtime and snuggles and I'm always happy to share a bed :) I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
