Tiffany was fabulous! My skittish cockapoo fell in love with her. That's saying a lot about the person she is with dogs. My two pugs couldn't get enough of her. Definitely a great dog sitter!!

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for cats and dogs. I've had cats all my life and currently have a 15-year-old dog and 2 indoor/outdoor cats. I've also volunteered in dog boarding at a local business, where I was responsible for taking all the dogs out to potty at night. Your pets will be in loving and experienced hands!" I am currently a stay at home Mom. So your pets will have cuddles and plenty of play time throughout the day! I typically start my morning at 6:30. So early morning risers are no problem for me! I live in a 2 story house and have plenty of space for your fur baby. I can make any accommodations to make your baby comfortable in your home or mine. Whether it be crating or separating animals I will make sure they are happy and safe!

About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. I don’t have a set schedule it varies day to day. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl. Started out with cats, and then when I was 9 I got my first dog. Ever since then I’ve had 5 dogs total, and around 10 cats since I was little as well. I am well versed on how to take care of both and my dog Shiloh has helped me a lot in this :) I am a counselor most days of the week but I have time in the morning and evenings most days and weekends I’m usually free. I’m here for most holidays and throughout the summer as well! I am willing and able to walk the doggos, feed them and give them water, let them out for potty breaks, brush them and wash them if needed, and taking them to the dog park is an option as well. I know how to care for cats in giving them space when needed and attention when needed, feeding and giving them water, and any other tasks I’m asked to do, as well as picking up poop.

About: Quiet Country setting for your pet. My husband and I have taken care of dogs and cats since we were around 10 years old. We have helped with various breeds and sizes. From as small as chihuahua and pug, up to shepherds and Labrador retrievers. We currently have two dogs of our own that we adore! We treat all dogs like they are our children. My husband and myself are currently full time at home 7 days a week so can provide attention and care like we do with our pets . We work from home so we are able to give full attention since we work from home during the week. We can provide daily walks, and playtime either outside or inside. Our dogs can keep your pet company they love all dogs and cats. They will have the comfort of cuddling on pet pillows or even cuddling on the couch with us. My husband and myself are full time at home to be able to provide the needed time to care for your pet. Only be alone few hours on weekend to run errands We can offer daily exercise like walks on a leash due we have a nice big yard but do not have a fenced in yard. Also could crate if needed.

About: I have cared for dogs for a little over six years and have a lot of experience with them. I am a dog lover and know exactly how to keep them happy and healthy while their families are away! I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to care for your home, pups, and anything else you may need! I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.

Wonderful! Reese is a great pet sitter. She touched base and kept me in the loop with my two cats and how they were doing each day with several pics. She even got my timid cat out to play each day and this is extraordinary. Can’t recommend enough!

Jadyn took excellent care of our dogs, coming three times even when set-up for twice, brought a package inside that was left for us and gave the dogs water. She was concerned with the dogs getting enough play time and so she came the third time at no additional charge. Definately recommend her as a great drop in care taker.

About: I am a chubby, southern gal w/ a love for animals & nature! I have so much love to give. I enjoy visiting the fur babies, taking them on adventures, taking their pics and speaking time with them, when their designated humans are away 🥰 I have experience with senior & shelter animals. I have experience with blind and epileptic dogs, as well. I try to be open to their moods and surroundings at all times. Hi there! Lucky for you, my schedule is basically wide open! I have one guy who gets walked twice a day and one girl who gets care once a week. I am typically available 8am-8pm. They are always on a leash or lanyard! Never outside alone. Car rides and long walks, trips to the park, or wherever they may like to go!

About: With a lifetime of experience around animals - growing up on a farm and working in a vet's office - I bring both a wealth of knowledge and gentle touch to every pet I meet. I'm especially experienced with senior pet care, have a knack for puppy training, and even have a special place in my heart for unique breeds - have always had a Sphynx cat at home. Above all, I'm reliable, warm, and absolutely dedicated to making sure your furry (or furless!) friends feel safe and loved in their own home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I structure my schedule around providing dedicated, reliable time for each pet I look after. While I'm currently focusing on building my pet care services, I plan my availability thoughtfully to make sure every client gets the attention they need. In every client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for their pets. I take the time to understand each pet's routine and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and at ease while in my care. My approach is always about building trust - both with the pets and their owners - so that everyone feels confident and comfortable throughout the entire pet care experience.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.
