“Logan is outstanding. We have four energetic dogs and he handled them like a pro! We appreciated getting the pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Alisa is a true animal lover and my gang adored her. She is a great communicator, always letting you know how everything is going, when she is arriving, when she is leaving. She sends lots of photos and videos and was a joy to work with. I felt like my guys were in great hands and I would absolutely work with her again!”

About: I worked at PetSmart for approximately 5 years & have experience with basic grooming needs. I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I work from home & am able to stay with your pets while you are out of town or at work yourself. I can check in on them during the day, take them for walks, & ensure they are fed and well loved. I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I volunteer and walk dogs at animal shelters near me. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.
About: I was raised on an animal farm so my family has had almost every animal you can think of! I love animals so much & I would love to help take care of your furry friend while they are waiting for your return :) I will try my best to work with your schedule! Right now, my job is flexible, so figured this would be another great flexible part time job have :) I don't mind coming to your house if it’s easier! OR they are free to roam my clean house! Each week is relaxing but I can honestly say that having so much free time can be boring so this would be a lovely addition to my weekly routine. I let your dog snuggle with me and watch movies if they like! If they aren’t a snuggle bunny then they can roam my house and choose a cozy section their prefer!

About: I’ve always had pets since I was a toddler. I’ve always took care of my pets, my grandparents pets & I’m really good with animals. I’m usually always available! I’m self employed and do instacart, doordash, Rover, Uber, Uber Eats, etc so I can usually fit anything into my schedule! I have a yard. (It’s not fenced in yet, working on it.) I’m a huge animal person so your animals will always be well taken care of & loved in my care.

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.
“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”

About: I have raised and taken care of all kinds of dogs from Collies to German shepherds to beagles. I love walking dogs and caring for them. I work from home and I am home almost every night. I can walk your dogs multiple times throughout the day. I can take dogs on multiple bathroom breaks throughout the day. I can easily feed your dog or cat multiple times throughout the day and night. I have administered prescriptions for dogs and cats numerous times. I love taking care of pets.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve taken care of my senior dog for years, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to support older dogs’ needs. I’ve also been around puppies and high-energy dogs my entire life, as my grandparents board Border Collies. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Pet care is a constant part of my daily routine. I regularly care for my senior dog, who is blind and deaf, making sure he gets the stimulation he needs and is fed the correct food at the proper times. I also have a cat living with me, so I make time every day for her playtime, affection, meals, and treats. Caring for pets is already built into my schedule, allowing me to give consistent and attentive care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain clean and secure spaces, and pay close attention to pets’ routines and behaviors. I’m especially mindful of doors, feeding schedules, and creating a calm environment to reduce stress. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet with patience, respect, and attentive care to help them feel safe and at ease.
About: I grew up on a farm in Louisiana and have taken care of pets my whole life. I used to have German Shepards but more recently have had English French bulldogs, and a beagle.

About: My attention to detail and absolute top notch care. I will treat your pets like they are my own. I have experience with both senior animals and young. I will be available 7 days a week, currently only working part time, looking to make watching and taking care of animals a full time thing. I live in a pet friendly apartment, however, I do prefer to travel and take care of pets, in the comfort of their own homes.
About: Hi, welcome! I have house sat and pet sat since I was a kid! I foster animals and work with rescues. Cats, dogs, horses, reptiles, small mammals, fish, and livestock. I’m a little country and a little metal. 🤘 I am working with my husband to create a business which allows me plenty of play time and flexibility. My schedule is quite flexible. I allow plenty of care time for your fur family. I will conform to the guidelines and needs of your fur baby in order to give the best care possible and make fur parents just as satisfied. Whatever you want or need I’m there for your family!
“Shayla was amazing with our 7 month old lab. She accepted our booking extremely last minute and house sat for us for 10 days. She administered medications and provided comfort for our pup while we were gone. Shayla sent us many photos of our pup and always responded timely. Our minds were at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. Thank you Shayla! We will definitely book again.”
