“Very happy to have found Dawn! She's caring and loves your babies like her own. Dawn was great at documenting Cashmere's glucose level (patience to get the blood draw is necessary and she was and gentle as well) and administering his insulin .... just all around very detailed in her notes and very appreciated! She sent pics too! Dawn moved any packages inside the house and was kind enough to water a plant outside when we didn't get much rain. We appreciate her detail and genuine care and highly recommend her! Thank you SO much, Dawn!!!”

I am a traveling dog and cat sitter which allows me to give full time loving worry free care to your beautiful pets while you are out of town. I stay at your home while you are away which allows me to provide full time care and companionship to your pets while caring for your residence.

About: I’ve been raised around animals my whole life. From the moment I was able, I was the one taking out the dog or feeding the cat. From sophomore year of high school onwards I’ve been a regular volunteer at numerous animal shelters and animal boarding facilities across the country. I’ve pet sat for friends and family alike. I spend a good portion of my free time doing my own research on any questions I have regarding animal care. I have a particular fondness for cats, and have been known to befriend even the most timid of kitties. As of right now, I am unemployed with a ton of free time. The only days I may not be available are Sundays and Wednesdays, as those days are when I spend time volunteering at the animal shelter. I will spend a lot of time in your home giving your animals the love and attention they need in your absence. I can take them on frequent walks as needed, and clean up any messes they may have made. I will feed them within 30 minutes of their scheduled feeding times. If I am staying overnight I will leave the house just as clean as it was when I got there.

About: Hello! I’m Sue, and I’m excited to offer dog walking and drop-in sitting services for your pets. As someone who has had dogs and cats all my life, I bring a lifetime of experience caring for pets, both my own and others’. I currently live with a lovable crew that includes a Maine Coon mix cat, three dogs (a Tennessee Walker Hound, Chihuahua terrier mix, and dachshund mix), plus a few goats and chickens. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve provided drop-in care for birds, goats, and chickens, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals. I also have experience giving medications to dogs, and I’ve given pills to both dogs and my own cat, especially since my dog has health issues that require regular medication. I am committed to keeping clear and consistent communication with pet owners, ensuring you’re updated throughout my visits. I also ask that you do the same in the event there is a question of care, or in the off chance of an emergency. With my own transportation and a flexible schedule, I’m ready to accommodate your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you’re away.

I do have a small farm to tend to, but am flexible and able to easily fit it around pet sitting. I can care for your pets daily, but holidays are very busy. Because I have a household of pets of my own, I am not able to care for clients pets in my own home at this time. I offer dog walking in 30 minute increments, drop in visits to check on, feed, dispense meds, tend to cats.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 4 years old. My parents allowed us to get dogs only if we took full responsibility for them! I’ve helped walk, feed & babysit dogs for other families for a long time as well. I have an immense love for all things fluffy! I’m a stay at home mom of one human child & 3 fur babies! I will be available 24/7 to give your pups the love they deserve!! I do not have a fully fenced in yard but I do have a small fenced off area for quick potty breaks. For longer walks we walk around our quiet neighborhood! There is plenty of space in the backyard for playing.

About: Hello! For most of my life I've grown up around pets. We always had dogs and cats, and while currently we have four cats I often house sit my mother's dog Honey. I have a passion for animals I hope to someday turn into a career. Currently I am unemployed and trying to get out of the food service industry. I have access to a vehicle if needed for house visits. I will happily take your furry friend on multiple walks, drop in to ensure everyone gets bathroom breaks, or even watch your cats if you're out of town. Typically for our four cats I take sole care of them. They are fed 1/4 cup dry food each 2 times a day and a can of wet food a day as well. Our cats are older so there's not much activity wise, however when Honey my mother's dog visits we usually do two walks a day. We also have a fenced in backyard for zoomies, full screened in lanai (with a pool which can be sectioned off) for post zoomies. When watching her overnight she gets herself a full bowl of dry food to graze on while receiving two portions of wet food throughout the day.

“Katie was wonderful and Thumper loved her ! Would highly recommend !”

I would say that i am a really sweet and nice girl as well as pretty active too. I've worked with dogs as well at a groomers, which i think gives me advantage on understanding if there is something wrong or if the dog needs something.

About: From a teacup poodle to a big mastiff, I've had pets of various sizes. I've pet-sit (or "cat-sat"), my friends and families pets whenever they needed so I'd be happy to do that as well. I'm also no stranger to helping feed pets their nasty medicine as well. I'm currently looking for a job as I've just moved down here! That being the case, I've got plenty of time (with almost an entirely free schedule), to walk and play with your pups! I have met dogs and cats of all energy levels, from pups that have high energy to those who like to make their daily rounds before plopping down for a nap. Whatever their needs are, I am happy to comply. Their comfort and enjoyment is my top priority!
