About: I have had animals all my life. We currently have our own little hobby farm type deal going on and it’s a blast. My daughter and I love all animals and she would love to join me for walks-check in- or over nights when allowed. I’m a stay at home mom with a fairly open schedule. Most of the time my 5 year old would be with me unless it’s her 2 school days this fall. I have a good care and feeding routine at my house with all of our animals. I keep a Very clean and kept up shelters-coops- home.
About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, as I have 18 years of experience in animal care, training, socializing and grooming. I have worked with puppies and kittens, to large animals such as cattle and horses. I promise to provide emotional support, understanding, lots of playtime/ potty breaks, and a safe, calm environment for your pets. I currently work part time as a caregiver for the elderly. When I have time off, I love to spend it with my dogs and my horses. I plan to have a few days open weekly for pet care as I transition into a full time position for animal caretaking. Pets in my home have free range for activities, allowing them to express themselves at all times. Pets in my care will never be crated unless stated by the owner. I will abide by feeding times and rules set by owner, and will contact owner with questions or concerns. I will always maintain a safe and uplifting environment for pets, that includes lots of cuddles and free range on couches if that is a safe space for them. I am flexible with requests or special cares.
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of Lucy Blues while we were away. We are grateful and think highly of you. We know Lucy enjoyed her time with you as well. Thanks again, Rich & Ny”
About: My entire life I have been raised with lots of animals and was always so excited to play with the pups. I have always had a thought about wanting to become a dog trainer and when I bought my first dog that was my own it showed me that I really am interested in an animal focused career! I currently do not work, so I fortunately have all the free time to spend time and play with these sweet and amazing fur babies! I will always follow the clients wishes and preferred schedule. I know how scary it can be leaving your animal with someone else and not being able to be there:(
About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, and I got my very own dog when I was 13 — I took care of everything from daily walks and training to vet visits and snuggles on the couch. I’ve had puppies in my house for each of my 3 siblings and my very own soul dog for 16 years. Pet care throughout the week is my summer job before heading out to college. I am very flexibile, whenever an animal out there needs someone to take care of them! Some pets like cuddles and attention and playtime, others expect their own space. It’s easy to read whatever pets prefer! Feeding is always on time, walks are welcome, and any special necessities will be marked down and remembered— with frequent potty breaks.
“Rebecca was awesome. She was kind and patient with Derby. She sent pictures and messages through out our weekend. It was comforting to knowing my girls were happy and safe. I will definitely ask her to come back and recommend her to others.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Jaimie! Her communication was amazing and her care for our dogs was top notch! With her care and attention we were able to throughly enjoy our vacation. The dogs loved Jaimie and we would certainly hire her again - the dogs would be thrilled!”
About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes. I have a few aquarium animals, no dogs or cats, but I also care for some of the animals next door quite often. We have small children if your pet is tolerable of them and crating is optional per your request.
About: I have always had a love for animals. They hold a special place in my heart. I’ve had a pet dog for at least 10 years now and I’d say I take great care of her(: I love all kinds of animals and make sure they are taken great care of. I will make sure your pet is fed, and taken care of. I’d do anything for my dogs and even other people’s pets! I am responsible, clean, and well kept. I will treat your dog as if it’s mine and love him/her to death(: You’ll never have to worry about your dog not getting the care it needs when I’m around! Overall, I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your furbaby! I am currently off of work so I will have almost every day to walk/drop by your fur baby during the day! And when I get back to work I will still love to walk and do drop ins! My own dog has her own fenced in yard. She is pretty old so I don’t have to worry about her running off but if any client has a request for a leash or if I don’t see a fenced yard I will make sure to always use a leash on your pet! I will always make sure they are safe and sound!
“Anita was awesome with my Two Saint Bernards!!”
About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is the combination of experience, genuine love for animals, and specialized care skills. I have several years of hands on experience with a wide variety of pets from dogs and cats to birds and small animals and I treat each one like family I have cared for senior animals, pets with anxiety, and those requiring medication or special diets. I provide regular photo updates and check-ins, so you’re always in the loop and worry free. I aim to build a bond with every pet I care for, making sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while you're away. I am currently working a part time job that relies on the weather & don’t really have a set schedule with that I am available most the time I currently have a Siberian husky that is 9 years old very calm also have a kitten.

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.

Aliya O.
“Aliya has been an integral part of my success in raising and training service dogs for autism, PTSD, anxiety, diabetes, and guide dogs for the blind. At all hours of the day and night Aliya has assisted in the birthing process — nurturing, protecting, and bottle feeding brand new puppies. She has been called the “puppy whisperer” for years. Caring for dogs could not be a more organic fit for Aliya’s gift with animals. She would be at the top my short list of people I would trust with my babies.”
