Ken is awesome! My two pups love him. They whine when we pull up to be dropped off. They are exhausted and miss Ken and his dogs when they leave! So grateful to have him walk the pups, welcome them into his home and show them love when I cant!

About: I connect with animals of all kinds! I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, pigs, turkeys, snakes, lizards, and a chinchilla. I currently have goats, chickens, 5 cats and a dog. I care for animals the way I care for children, they bring me such joy! I have also captured strays to get them to a rescue, and helped wild animals with injuries. I am very attentive to the animals moods and behaviors, while also going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe. I have dealt with sick animals, given medications, assisted in giving injections and followed food regimens. I have been bitten by several different kinds of animals, so I know how to deal with being bitten. I have plenty of energy to walk and play, and my own reliable transportation. I've done extensive research on behaviors and relationships of pets and I'm always learning. I would be happy to write daily reports and/or take pictures, whatever makes you feel at ease. Outside of caring for my own animals, I'm not a very busy individual, so if you need a last minute service, I will likely be available. I can transport animals in my car and also have a female German Shepherd who is fixed and is sweet as can be, if your pup would like a play mate! I take care of my animals daily, but have plenty of free time for yours! Morning, afternoon or evening, I'm available for your pet care needs. My pets are well taken care of and honestly a little spoiled 🤭. We have different foods for different cat needs, we don't use cheap food brands in our household. Our dog is walked at least 5 times a week, sometimes more. Each animals gets individual attention and plenty of pets. I make my own treats to give my dog her medicine and also try other pet recipes from time to time. All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and get vet check-ins annually.

About: From raccoons to dogs, you name it I’ve handled it! With experience working in boarding facilities, rescuing dogs off the street, and always having dogs of my own. I can personally guarantee your pup is in the right hands. As of now, I have an open schedule and plenty of time to care for and play with all of your fur babies. All while making sure their personal needs are tended to since every pup is different! I have a large fenced in backyard, multiple crates of different sizes if needed, and a miniature wiener dog who loves to play! Now that my other dachshund is older he is kept in his own room when guest pups are over to minimize his stress. I have also have an abundance of toys, dogs beds, and blankets. Of course everyone is allowed on the furniture and made to feel right at home.

About: Hello. I'm a RN who works night shift. I enjoy caring for people and animals. I've had dogs and cats all my life. Im patient and enjoy training my dog Sadie. She is a wild mix breed with a lot of energy. I've also taught my cats to have manners as well. Let me know if I can be any help to you and your fur babies.

She is fed nightly at the same time because I believe routine is the best for dogs.

About: I have been pet sitting for roughly 10 years. It started when I was young just caring for my friends dogs and cats when they went out of town but has evolved into a small client base that I want to expand. I have cared for mostly senor dogs, providing them with medication as it was prescribed, ensuring they were safe when outside, and updating owners on any changes in behavior and physical condition. Recently I have gotten my own dog who is a bit under two years old and that is the most experience I had with puppies but I do know quite a bit about training and am willing to care for young dogs as well. I love dogs with all my heart and grew up with them in the house. I don't have any cats in my family but I do know how important they are to their family and I love to take care of the cats I have taken care of in the past. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and deserve care and comfort when their humans are away. I am a full time student currently so I don't have the most time in the world but I am more than happy to take a break from school work to play and walk with pets and then maybe hang out together while I study before their dinnertime! I like to get a rough idea of the pets typical schedule and stick as close to that as possible, making sure everyone is fed on time, walked when walks are needed, and generally keeping them on the same schedule they are used to! I have found this to be the best option as it gives the pets a sense of normalcy in their routine while the family is away.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs since I was a kid, so caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing to administering medications or calming nervous pets. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working as a full time student just doing this on the side so I’m always at home unless I’m getting groceries or little other stuff. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and stress-free, with plenty of space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and any special instructions—to keep things consistent and familiar. In my own home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, cozy space with plenty of love, supervision, and enrichment. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their pet’s normal routine, and keep communication open so they always feel informed and reassured. Above all, I build trust through reliability, attentiveness, and genuine care—because I know pets are more than animals; they’re family.

About: I am currently a dog owner myself to my service dog Daisy! I have had pets my entire life going from dogs all the way to horses! I walk my own dog twice a day! and I would be more than happy to accommodate to any dogs needs whether it is a longer walk or a shorter one! I can do morning walks or middle of the day and even afternoons! How I care for my dog Daisy is by giving a good energy with going on a walk and making her sit before we leave the house and always giving her treats! As well as making sure her water bowl is filled with fresh clean water.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a proud pet parent to a 10-year-old Lab and a 4-year-old Beagle-Hound mix, I understand the unique needs that come with both senior dogs and high-energy pups. From administering medications and providing gentle care for older dogs, to keeping up with playful, curious young pups, I’ve seen it all firsthand. I know how important routine, patience, and love are for our furry family members—and I bring that same level of attention and care to every pet I watch. Whether your dog needs extra snuggles, slow walks, or a game of fetch to burn off energy, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and needs. Being home more often also means I can provide consistent companionship, which is especially helpful for pets who may be shy, anxious, or just love having someone around. I’m happy to accommodate everything from quick potty breaks to short stays—whatever keeps your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. n my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving daily meds, or just making sure they get their favorite toy before bed. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, a senior Lab and a playful Beagle-Hound mix, who love making new friends (but I can easily keep pets separated if needed). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow instructions closely to maintain consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to keep things stress-free—for both you and your furry family member.

About: I have an accumulated 15 years of pet sitter experience and am currently looking to add new clients on! I’m familiar with senior dogs, administering medication, puppies, rescues, and have house sat for multiple clients regularly throughout the years. I want you to feel comfortable and confident that your fur babies are being well cared for; that’s why I send regular updates and pictures throughout the day/stay to give you that well deserved peace of mind. Reach out to me today, I can’t wait to meet you! I’m at stay-at-home wife who is currently enrolled in school online. I have the luxury of making my own schedule, so your pets will always be the priority. As stated previously, my schedule will be based around your pet/s. I’ll be at the home promptly for any scheduled walks or potty breaks and will be able to dedicate the necessary time to give your pet/s the attention they deserve. House sitting will consist of myself coming to stay in the home with the pet/s. This will include all of the necessary actions such as walking, potty breaks, and feeding. I also like to get a copy of what the routine normally is for the pet/s, just so we can keep the day as normal as possible for them. Please let me know of any medical conditions ahead of time, such as allergies or illness, and any medication that may be required.

About: Growing up, we had black labs. Now, I have a black lab mix. I have learned so much over the years training and working with my own dogs. I am a teacher with the summer off. I have always wanted to do this full time, so let's see where this summer takes me! I love my dog and senior cat. I spend a lot of time with them. I take Charlie, my black lab, everywhere I go. We go to the dog park, parks and hikes. I also have had cats all of my adult years. I have had a diabetic and asthmatic cat. My current cat, Logan, is nineteen and doing great! I am attentive to their needs and will be attentive to your pet's needs, too.

We really love Emily. She is a true animal lover of all animals. She has helped us not only with our dogs and cats but has also taken care of our farm while we went out of town. We have pigs, goats, chickens, and turkeys. Everything was spotless and the animals are so comfortable with her. She regularly walks and exercises our dogs. They always love to see her pull up.

Stephanie is fantastic with pets. She has pet-sat for my five doggos and has taken tender care of them and all of their different needs. She is timely, consistent, communicative, and left my home exactly as I had. My doggos love her and feel safe in her care. She is also really responsive when asked for photos or updates. We love Stephanie (our dogs and us!) and highly recommend her to folks who are looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter with years of experience caring for geriatric and higher needs pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a proud pet parent to a 10-year-old Lab and a 4-year-old Beagle-Hound mix, I understand the unique needs that come with both senior dogs and high-energy pups. From administering medications and providing gentle care for older dogs, to keeping up with playful, curious young pups, I’ve seen it all firsthand. I know how important routine, patience, and love are for our furry family members—and I bring that same level of attention and care to every pet I watch. Whether your dog needs extra snuggles, slow walks, or a game of fetch to burn off energy, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and needs. Being home more often also means I can provide consistent companionship, which is especially helpful for pets who may be shy, anxious, or just love having someone around. I’m happy to accommodate everything from quick potty breaks to short stays—whatever keeps your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. n my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I tailor care to each pet’s personality and routine—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving daily meds, or just making sure they get their favorite toy before bed. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, a senior Lab and a playful Beagle-Hound mix, who love making new friends (but I can easily keep pets separated if needed). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow instructions closely to maintain consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to keep things stress-free—for both you and your furry family member.

Mandy has house sat and pet sat for us for years. Anytime my husband and I go out of town, we always call her first because of how much our three dogs (Max, Peanut, and Tater) love her. We always know when we leave them with her, they’ll not only be safe, but have a great time too! She consistently sends us sweet pictures of our babies playing and having fun and lets us know how they’re doing. There’s no one else we feel as comfortable leaving them with and it’s 100% better than having to board them in an unfamiliar setting!
