About: I got my first pet when I was 8 and have had pets ever since. I love meeting other people’s pets. I ran a pet transport business transporting pets across the country two years ago and am excited to now stay closer to home while still spending time with special pets. My kids are grown with their own families so I have plenty of free time to spend caring for your precious pets, whether you just need a drop in visit or overnight care. I am an honest dependable person who will treat you, your pet(s), and your home with the utmost respect. I am a patient person who will be nothing but loving to your pet(s).

About: I have been babysitting and dog sitting since I was in middle school, which has given me years of experience in being responsible, attentive, and patient. I love staying active and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to take pets for long walks or keep kids engaged with fun activities. Whether I’m following a specific care routine or just providing some extra playtime, I pride myself on being dependable and treating every home with respect. While my schedule varies with my part-time job, I am very flexible and able to work around my shifts to make accommodations for your pet's needs. I am a full-time student taking online courses, which allows me to be home frequently and maintain a presence for pets who need extra attention. I am dedicated to coordinating my time to ensure your furry friends are never left without care and get plenty of playtime throughout the day. I provide a safe and loving environment for every pet I watch, no matter where I’m at. Having been around animals since middle school, I understand the importance of trust and consistent routines. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks or playing outdoors, ensuring they stay happy and healthy. I am also comfortable following any specific safety instructions or crating needs to keep your pet feeling secure.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. For dogs, I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you’re away. I am currently available Monday-Friday for drop-ins and house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, for dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I plan my schedule around providing consistent, attentive care. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility during the day, and I’m available Monday through Friday for drop-ins and house sittings. I make sure each pet receives reliable care at the same times each day, along with attention and companionship. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and providing playtime, exercise, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, monitor the pet’s health and behavior, and send regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Excellent service for house sitting with a demanding male cat - Sabbat. I booked a 10-night stay with the best sitter to watch my cat. He was well taken care of during my absence and Mary went above and beyond my expectations! My cat loved her and is still looking for her..even his coat improved from so much petting and care. She tidied the house, washed the dishes, took care of my kitty, and covered all of the details. I have a complicated home and Mary took care of every single detail impeccably. SHE SENT MOVIES, VIDEOS, UPDATES! I COULD NOT HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER SITTER. Mary was awesome....”

“Drew was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our three dogs while we were on vacation. From the moment we connected, he was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. He made sure our dogs were taken out regularly, kept them on their routine, and truly treated them like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Drew stayed overnight each night, which meant the dogs were comfortable and our home was well cared for too. On top of that, he kept the house in excellent condition, honestly, we came back to everything just as we left it (if not better!). He was also very responsive and kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. It’s clear Drew genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond for the families he works with. We’re so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, respectful, and truly great with pets, I highly recommend booking Drew, you won’t regret it!”

“Amanda is great with my kiddos. Given we have a highly reactive dog, Amanda has made great strides with developing a closer connection and has been rewarded with Shelby loves. Highly recommend Amanda and will book again with her.”

About: I have had multiple dogs ranging from black labs to Saint Bernards! I have done dog walking here and there for over ten years. I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student.

I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
“Thank you so much for dog sitting for me!! I can’t thank you guys enough for watching my babies while I attended my son’s wedding!! They even sent me pictures of my babies which made my day even better known my babies were doing good!! I would highly recommend these two for your dog sitting needs!!”

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.
