“Kristen was fantastic, as always! She does a great job of looking after my kitties and even gets my shy kitty to come out of her shell. She’s attentive and communicative and does a wonderful job!”
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies
About: I have always been the one to call when my friends/family needed a dog sitter. I’m trustworthy and reliable, especially when it comes to animals. I work only part time as a student which means I have plenty of time to help out and take care of your furry friends! I’m available Monday-Friday and most weekends. I take my dog on daily walks early in the morning. I am able to walk your pets or drop in to feed and take care of them Monday-Friday and most weekends.
About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.
“Debbie is great! I’ve used her for boarding at her house, and also trust her for walks and drop in visits while I’m away or at work. She always sends me updates and photos on how well penny is doing and I’m confident Debbie treats her just as one of her own family.”
About: I have had dogs in my home since I was eight, and have been looking after others dogs for a few years now. I have worked with all sizes and breeds, due to being employed at a Veterinary Clinic. Friends and family have always trusted me to look after their dogs for the day, weekend, or even week long trips. I am a current student and working part-time as well. Although, I have more than enough time in the evenings and weekends to look after you pets. When taking care of others dogs for them, I normally go and feed and water their dogs at the time of their normal feeding and go walk them and stop in to play for a while about 3-4 times a day. I have also stayed in home with pets overnight at their home if needed as well.
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years ! While I am most experienced with golden retrievers and helped train them for two years, I am comfortable with any and all dog breeds and sizes.

About: I’ve owned a cat since I was 5! I know how to do litter and I understand cat language. If you’d be more comfortable, I’d be able to put my cats away in a separate room to care for yours alone and make sure they feel safe. However my cats love other cats and wouldn’t harm yours!:) I would have time everyday after 3pm as I don’t currently have a car so my mom would have to drive me after she works! On saturdays im free all day and sundays after church - so after about 12pm. I have nine cats who I take care of daily and will keep your cat company, if you have a dog however, I’d put my cats away just to be safe!

About: I’ve cared for family pets, friends pets, and others pets. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters and been able to care to them and make them feel wanted again. I walk dogs and make sure they get enough time outside and enjoy themselves. Currently with being a college student, The schedule is a littler tighter but I’m able to dog walk or sit earlier in the day more often than later in the day. Classes are mostly from 2-8 with one class in the morning around 9-12 but days vary. I tend to most dogs i’ve owned with care because of them coming from shelters.

I listen to them and make sure they’re fed and happy.

Kendall F.
“I’ve known Kendall for a couple of years now, and during this time she has watched my family’s dog and my own personal dog a handful of times. I own a Pomeranian named Tom and my family owns a Chihuahua named Elly. Both of these dogs are highly energetic and need a good amount of attention from whoever is caring for them. While looking for someone to watch our dogs this was our biggest concern, but Kendall has exceeded mine and my family’s expectations every time. She is very loving and caring towards dogs and animals. She goes above and beyond every time to make sure the dogs are well fed, walked, loved, etc. I highly recommend Kendall if you are looking for someone to care/animal-sit for your pet. She takes great care of them and overall just does an amazing job.”
Veronica E.
“I highly recommend Veronica as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals.

Mikenzie B.
“Kenzie does an excellent job with our three dogs when we are gone on vacation. We have one dog who is very shy and timid and we were unsure how she would do without a family member around but Kenzie was kind and patient creating a great bond with her for the weeks we were gone. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, compassionate and thorough job!!”
Kayla K.
“Kayla has worked with dogs in her former high school therapy program and was even asked to help out with them when their owner went on vacation. She loves animals and has 2 cats of her own as well. She’s very responsible and takes any job she has very seriously. Her work ethic is top notch.”
Joslin T.
“Joslin takes care of multiple cats at home and has been around pets her whole life so she isn't a stranger to taking care of animals. She is responsible and understands all of the tasks included with taking care of dogs and cats alike.”
Monica C.
“Monica and I bonded over a cat with special needs--a daily responsibility, which Monica embraced with gusto. Meantime, she was not just accommodating but encouraging her other cats' individual personalities. In other words, she gets two very important things. First, the key to good critter health and happiness lies in the everyday details, and she is dedicated to fulfilling them every single time. Second, enrichment is everything--and also most of the fun for all involved.”
Josie H.
“Josie did a great job! She went over and above for our pup. Highly recommend!”
Amber C.
“Amber went above and beyond for us! Highly recommended!”
Julie B.
“Julie is one of the most considerate and compassionate people i know. Her love and care for animals and people exceeds the norm. She is responsible and thoughtful and goes the extra mile for everyone she has any commitment to with no exception. She is very resourceful and heart centered. I have watched her take every consideration for her own pets and the pets of others. If there is an animal in need that crosses Julies path she is taking action. I highly reccomend Julie as an outstanding human being and as someone who holds reverence for animals. Thank you”
Sam B.
“Very pleasant, great with my cats 😊”
Laura B.
“Laura is great! My dog loves the time spent with her and she even brought her kids which my dog loved. She goes above and beyond, highly recommended!”
