Tasha’s is superb, she watched our cats while we were out of town and she was incredible with her updates and letting us know how our girls were doing. She has secured repeat customers in my wife and I.

I love to hangout with animals at anytime of day! whether they are calm and like to cuddle or are active and love walks! I am currently on summer break from college and do not currently have a job outside of pet sitting so I am free everyday of the week besides friday from 9-7, I am also free anytime of day! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I want your pets to trust me and think of me as a care taker. I follow feeding and medicine schedules exactly as the pet parents sets out!

Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.

About: From a very young age, I grew up around animals and I have raised dogs of my own! I have been providing animal care services to friends and family and find it very rewarding! I prioritize keeping the doggos safe and comfortable. My dog is on a regular feeding schedule and is my first priority when I wake up and come home from work, she will get a walk immediately and active engagement. I have trained a few puppies with basic commands like sit, stay, lay down, roll, and speak! I have housesat for senior dogs and enjoy spending time with a variety of dogs! I know how important dogs are to individuals and families and that's why communication is a top priority. I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work part-time right now and am looking for a full-time work from home job so my schedule will remain flexible! I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pups! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.

About: I’ve had animals of my own since I was little. Growing up I would often pet sit for family. More recently, I’ve rescued two cats within the past 3 years. They’re my world! I’ve recently started pet sitting for my friend on occasion and wanted to find more pet sitting opportunities because I enjoy it so much! I work from home Monday-Friday 8-5 with a lunch break from 12-1. However, I work at my own pace so I am able to leave if needed. I also work a part time job on the weekends where the hours vary. I’ll always be available after 6pm. I pay close attention to detail specific to each pet since each pet has their own set of needs. I like getting to know their personalities and earning their trust. I understand that pets are an extension of the family and I respect them as such. I also understand the worry of leaving your pets at home and the separation anxiety that pet and owner can experience, so I always offer pictures of your pets so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on much!

Bethany did such an amazing job! She was able to take our request last minute when our other sitter fell through and literally saved my birthday weekend. Her notes were thorough and I knew our babies were being well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!

About: I am a huge dog lover. Rescued two myself and they are my absolute passion and what I consider my kids and I plan on treating your doggie kids the same way! My dogs love going on walks, hikes, and the occasional snow cone date and your dogs I would guarantee love this just as much as my own. I am available everyday and anytime. I have watched multiple dogs before ranging from the size of a pomapoo to a rambuntious pit bull puppy to a full sized lab. So in other words no furry friend is to large or too small! So if its just an occasional walk or let them out to go potty I hope to meet your four legged friend soon! I am working part time and in college full time but that doesn't stop me from having plenty of time for your furry friend. Whatever it is they need I'm there Youre home is most importantly their home. I will make sure they are comfortable when you are away and give them plenty of love. If they make a mess I'll clean it up because life happens.

About: I have loved animals my whole life and decided to become a fur mama 9 years ago. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 fish. I have no problem walking, bathing, feeding or crating your pets as I have a lot of experience with my own. I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would my own🥰 I work from home, so I have free time to visit and play with your pups! My work schedule is flexible, so I can make myself available any day of the week. I do have a lot of experience with crate training from my own fur babies, so I can easily crate your pups if need be. I can take care of all of your pet care needs while you are away whether that be a bath or long walk.

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to providing personalized and compassionate care for every pet I look after. As a full-time student, I have developed excellent time management skills, which allow me to balance my responsibilities effectively and dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. Overall, my blend of practical skills, empathy, and dedication to the well-being of pets ensures that they are not only well-cared for but also happy and loved during their time with me. As a full-time student and a passionate animal lover, I have always managed to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My day typically starts with ensuring pets are fed, hydrated, and, for dogs, taken for a morning walk. Throughout the day, I schedule short breaks between my classes and study sessions to provide playtime and affection, ensuring the pets feel loved and engaged. In the evenings On weekends, I dedicate more time to activities like thorough grooming, deep cleaning of pet areas, and special outings to the park for added enrichment. Monday-Thursday I have class from 9am to 4:30pm and normally available in the weekends all day . Balancing my studies with pet care has honed my time management and multitasking skills, making me highly organized and reliable. I am committed to making sure your furry friends receive the utmost care and affection, ensuring their happiness and well-being are always prioritized.

About: I’ve grew up with big Great Danes as a child so I had to get comfortable with pretty big fur babies really early and I ended up working with local pet shelters and companies for years and I’ve never been disappointed and now that I have one of my own, I want to make other people comfortable with there babies being under other people’s care while out of town because that’s something I didn’t have for a while because I was so far away from family and now I can give that to others and get paid to do so which is amazing. I currently work in hospitality for a apartment complex with daily services and I help with feeding there babies when on business vacations and visits I make sure to give them space and time to get comfortable before meeting my fur baby and making sure that they are allowed to do as they please while around a new stranger and give them as much attention when needed to give comfort

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

A great sitter. Had a last minute event and was able to obtain her again to watch my three animals. Look forward to the next dog sitting from this sitter.
