About: In addition to having several furry friends of my own, I have been the go to person for pet sitting among friends and family for over six years. In recent years I have also gained professional experience in a variety of environments including a doggy daycare and veterinary clinic. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows for me to cater to your pets’ needs. , I always make sure that your pets are given as much attention and time as possible. Pet and home sitting can often be a new or stressful experience for animals and it’s my hope that with consistency, affection and time, your pet and I can become fast friends. As someone with an anxious pup and rescue kitty, I know how important to them their routine is and I will strive to keep it as consistent as possible. Additionally, your pet’s safety is important to me and I will apply basic veterinary care when needed and always ensure your pet gets the medications they need.

About: I’ve grown up with a household full of pets. My family never had less than 4 dogs and 2 cats. Since I was a child I’ve gotten experience walking, grooming, training, and caring for dogs and cats of all kinds, sizes, and ages. Most of my experience is with small and medium dogs, but I have experience walking and handling large dogs. I currently live with two cats and have spent some time caring for my friends and family’s dogs. I specialize in drop-in visits for all pets, and walks (of any distance) for dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! As a graduate student my schedule is very flexible and allows me to work around you and your pet’s needs. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting all days of the weeks, including weekends. You pick the time! I am able to crate dogs and cats, harness and leash dogs, do simple commands, give medicine, and provide clean up services. As a young adult I also have the ability to provide high energy animals with the required amount of exercise or play. I can provide treat and/or toy training for your pet to exercise their brain as well. I will work with whatever space your home provides, or I can transport pets to outdoor spaces.

About: Hello! My name is Dani, and I’ve had a deep love and compassion for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm where I helped care for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and more—experiences that gave me a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine heart for animals. For a long time, I even thought I’d become a veterinarian because of how naturally I connected with animals and how much I enjoyed caring for them. I’ve raised two Labrador puppies on my own, so I’m very familiar with the patience, structure, and energy it takes to raise and train young dogs. I also regularly help care for my sister’s kittens and feel confident working with pets of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime or a calm, comforting presence, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always strive to create a safe, happy experience for both pets and their people. Right now, I’m taking online summer classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. I’ve been feeling a bit lonely lately, and spending time with animals would not only bring me joy and companionship but also give me a great reason to get out for more walks. I’d love to include pet care in my daily routine—not just as something I can do, but something that genuinely adds purpose, energy, and happiness to my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs—whether that means giving them space to warm up at their own pace or providing extra playtime and affection. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any special needs or quirks. In my own home, I maintain a clean, quiet space with lots of cozy spots and room to play, making sure pets have a stress-free experience while they’re with me. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, respect, and lots of love.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have professionally worked as a house/pet sitter for 3 years but I have cared for my own for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and many livestock. I have trained many of my puppies so I can handle them and have cared for many senior animals having to give them special diets and medications. My mom is a CVT and I have worked for a vet so I can handle and/or know when to call in bad situations. I will be starting school in September so I will have time between classes to care for pets. I will always make time or stay longer if a pet needs that. I make sure all animals are feeling safe wherever they may be. I make sure energetic animals get played with, shy dogs get there space, and older more lethargic dogs get there rest. I change my care based on the animal and always give them the care and love they need.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have been caring for dogs and cats for 20+ years—both my own and others’. I have dog/cat and house sat for neighbors, friends and family for years.

I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s needs and routine. As an online student, I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend visits. I care for my own family's dog daily and have helped care for her in her senior health struggles. I have become accustomed to administering medications, additional support with diet and feeding time, and monitoring her health through physical and behavioral changes. I'm not currently able to currently able to dog sit at my own home due to my elderly nonsocial dog. You can count on me to be communicative, respectful of your home, and most importantly, to care for your pets as if they were my own!

About: As a former National Park Service employee of ten years I’m basically hardwired to love the outdoors and animals, and spending time with animals in the outdoors!

Having had both very old and anxious dogs, I’m familiar with the patience, attentiveness, and consistency needed to watch high needs pets and will always adapt my care to guarantee their comfort.

As a full-time college student I have very flexible availability, especially in the early morning, afternoons, and evening. This means I can check in often, and dedicate the best/coolest time of day to walks.

Marissa S.
“Marissa provided absolutely wonderful care for my dachshund, Chance, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Chance can be quite high-maintenance and particular about his routine, but Marissa handled everything with such patience and genuine care. What impressed me most was how nurturing and attentive she was with him. You can tell she truly loves dogs—it's not just a job for her. Chance immediately warmed up to her, which is saying something since he's usually cautious with new people. By the time I picked him up, it was clear he absolutely adored her! Marissa was communicative throughout, sending updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She followed his routine perfectly and treated him like he was her own. It's rare to find someone who combines such genuine affection for animals with reliable, professional service. I would recommend Marissa without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional dog care. Chance and I both hope to have her watch him again soon!”

Physical Fitness: Aga loves to walk. this trait brings a fitness that will comfortably mesh with the energy your dog has. Communication Skills: Aga loves sharing how the walk with your pup went. if you want the communication, about your dog’s behavior, needs, and any issues that arise during walks, Aga will be more than happy to convey that. Patience: Aga has the patience to handle various situations calmly, even if they appear to be getting out of hand.
