About: I am a dog mom to 2 reactive dogs, so I'm patient and understanding of different types of behaviors in dogs. I will care for your fur baby like they're mine! I am currently only working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! Very open to different schedules that suit both of our needs I will always send updates and pictures from my time with your pet. I understand the stress of having a stranger care for your fur family members, and I will of course care for them like they're my own!

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past few eyes and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I have been in your shoes trying to find the right person, too! I regularly pet sit for friends & family and genuinely love spending time with animals. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can easily swing by to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and company while you’re away! I currently work from home so I can swing by early in the mornings or late afternoon to hang out with your pet or go on walks. Or, swing by mid afternoon. I am usually open most weekends. When caring for pets in a clients home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will also make to keep the home tidy and provide as many updates/pictures as you would like!

About: I’ve always had and loved dogs! I have a soft spot in my heart for doggies. I would keep my friends and family’s dogs when they would go out of town. These dogs have been all shapes and sizes! Golden retriever, Rottweiler, Pit mix, Pug, Yellow Lab, Jack Russell, and more! I also have volunteered at Young Williams Animal Shelter walking and caring for dogs. I am a teacher so I have my summers off and will be readily available to care for your fur baby. I am currently raising a 5 month old Golden Retriever of my own! I am a teacher currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to play and love on dogs! I am available any day of the week for boarding as well as walks! My whole summer is revolving around taking care of my teenaged golden! We have been spending our days going to the pool, going on walks, training, playing fetch, and cuddling! I have a fenced in yard with a playful teenage golden who is ready to make friends. He is super friendly. I also have crates and a play pen inside for dogs to play in without having to free roam the house. I sometimes will take the dogs to our boat on the lake or my in-law’s pool if they enjoy water!

We have a fully fenced-in backyard that's perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and safe outdoor fun in our pesticide-free yard. Additionally, we have a split level home if your pet needs some space from our pets. We treat every pet like family, and we'd love to welcome yours into our home or care for them in yours!

About: Since I was a kid my idol has always been Steve Irwin, and his admiration and respect for all animals, even dressing up as him with my brothers to go out into nature and learn about all different kinds firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of raising just about every kind of domestic animal excluding cattle and horses. So, whether it lives on land, swims in the sea, or soars through the skies, I’ve got it covered, furry, scaled, or feathered. I’ve house sat and taken care of pets for friends and family, since I was a teenager, of all different mannerisms from ghostly skittish to aggressively friendly, rest assured me and your pet will get along just fine. I’m the one you hear people referring to when they say “They usually aren’t this friendly with strangers.” I currently am only working 3 days out of the week, so Friday through Monday I am mostly free to take care of any pets that need looked after in your absence. I have grown up and raised just about every animal you can think of, from rodents to reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and everything in between apart from large cattle and horses, but I love them all the same. I will do my absolute best to ensure that your pet’s wants and needs are met and their daily routines kept uninterrupted in your stead. I do prefer to be introduced to them and shown around their environment prior to taking full care of them so that I may take notes, learn about them, and have a chance to make friends with them before they are left in my care, so that I may ensure they don’t even notice you’re gone. Care for your pets would include ensuring they have access to clean fresh water, food eaten/made available, litterboxes emptied/taken to the bathroom, any medications given, and that ample playtime/pets given for their much needed exercise.

About: I've been around all types of dogs and pets since I was a little girl! My parents have put me in charge of my dogs countless times and I believe our fur children deserve the best care! When I take care of others pets I not only care for them but also for the adults that are putting them into my care, taking care of their home and their belongings! I am currently a stay-at-home wife so I have the flexibility and time to care for your pets at any time! I am starting a social media business so I wanted to help out some pet parents while I have the freetime! I will be with your pet anywhere they go and make sure they are safe and friendly with other pets if we encounter them! I will play and exercise with them so they are not as hyper for you when you come home!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust, so I focus on providing not only safe and reliable care but also plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment.

Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Currently, I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays anytime, but my schedule should open up even more soon as I am planning to leave my job.

About: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Wednesday- Sunday. And depending on how far away or the type of care needed I can check in throughout the day. I have Monday and Tuesday’s off usually so I would be able to watch over pets during those days with all day availability. Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.

About: Do your furry pals need to be walked/let out daily? Need AM to PM pet care during your vacation? 🦮🐕‍🦺🐾 I have worked for years as a professional pet sitter with a licensed agency as well as through Rover, and I have two senior doggos of my own. 💜 One of my dogs has severe arthritis and needs help to walk and encouragement to eat, so I am familiar with senior needs. I can help senior dogs walk and exercise, as well as administer oral/nasal/ear medications. I keep a pet first aid kit in my car at all times, just in case! ⛑️ I am comfortable around all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels 🐕‍🦺🐈🐩🐕🦮🐈‍⬛ This is my full time job and I love it! Most of my bookings are location based and I love meeting my neighbors- animal and human! Build community where you can! I always want animals in my care to feel relaxed and safe, so I like to know all their words(go potty, outside, etc.) and their happy little quirks(loves to give kisses, favorite places to sleep, play and poop, territorial over food, etc.) I prefer to meet an animal with their owner before I take care of them alone. I will only walk dogs on a leash, no off leash walking. I never wear headphones or use my phone excessively while taking care of your pet. I always use pet waste bags on walks and dispose of it in the proper receptacle at the end. I want your home to look exactly as you left it, with healthy, happy fur kiddos waiting for you when you return! Please let me know locations of cleaning supplies and trash cans so I can take care of any accidents that might happen.
