Pet Sitting in Auburn

About: I’m CPR certified for dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and my certification is valid through 2027. My journey with pet care began when I was thirteen where I would pet sit for family friends and acquaintances. I’ve been passionate about looking after animals ever since. Growing up with both a dog and a cat who were part of my life for nearly a decade deeply influenced my love for animals and inspired me to help care for others' pets while they’re away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels just as loved and comfortable as they do with their family. Whether it’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, going for walks, or just giving them company and cuddles, I’m here to ensure they are comfortable and having fun! I have experience administering oral medications and caring for minor injuries, such as bandaging hotspots. While I don’t currently have experience with injections, I’m always eager to learn and expand my skills. I am currently a student at PFW. I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays (as of now) for about 2 hours. Otherwise, my schedule is pretty open! I have a very part time job outside of Rover, usually only ~5 days a month, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! I’ll treat your pet(s) with the same love and care I’d want someone to give my own. My pets are super affectionate (and a little needy), so I’m more than ready to give your pup as much attention, cuddles, treats, and playtime as they’d like/need. For cat parents: I have a super playful, energetic kitty of my own, and I’d be more than happy to bring that same energy and attention to your cat(s), whether they’re ready to chase toys, eat some treats, or just need a little patience.

“Oliver loved Lex, she was very good with him and made sure he had enough water while playing with him out in the heat. Would recommend her to care for anyone's fur family member.”

“VERY last minute booking and had fast response and availability to fit my needs. Was able to give my pupper a small walk and potty break while I was out of town. Received multiple pictures during the experience and while my dog seems a little skiddish around strangers, I saw her very happy in the photos in a very short time. A big thank you! Made my life and schedule alot easier today with your services.”

“Deanna was the perfect person to drop in and check on our dogs during our day away. She was right on time, sent pics and actually played with our dogs. She left them tired enough to sleep till her next drop. Highly recommend Deanna for your sitting needs. Thank you Deanna.”

About: Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely love. I treat every pet like my own, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m a fully retired L/D nurse of 15 years who is home 24/7. I’m 40 years old and able to accommodate special feeding/medication times plus offer a regular routine similar to the one they already have at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Our home is a pet-friendly, secure environment, with no hazards and plenty of space to play, explore, and relax. We maintain a calm, clean, and structured routine so pets feel safe, happy, and at ease while you’re away.

“Erika did a wonderful job with my 3.5 year old Kaia! I received updates via the "drop in card" that included walk distance, food/potty updates as well a photo or two! I might Erika prior to our first visit and she did a wonderful job with any/all instructions I gave her. I will ABSOLUTELY be using Erika again and would encourage anyone else to do so!”

“Arita did an awesome dropping in on our golden this week! She took her on walks everyday, gave us pictures and feedback! We can tell our golden enjoys her! We would recommend Arita again and again!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family and always love meeting new animals. I’ve watched family and friends dogs when they’ve been away on vacation. My aunt has taught me some training tactics as well. I currently stay at home with my son and have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I don’t go on many vacations so I’m generally open most of the week. I currently do not have a place at home for your pets but am looking to have one soon! I can still walk your pets though!!

About: I grew up on a horse farm where we had cats and dogs. I can administer medications to animals. I have had 3 of my own dogs in the past and now a puppy! Can provide love to your fur babies while you are away I work Monday through Thursday, but available Friday, Saturday and Sundays. As of right now I am available for drop in visits, services may grow. I have a fenced in yard and can crate your fur baby if needed until i start other services. I have a puppy almost a year old. He loves everyone! So as long as our dogs can meet and get along we can do boarding! With work, dogs must be house trained. I can board every day as long as they are. Please feel free to reach out with questions!

“Charity took great care of everyone so we could get out of town a few days. Everyone looks cared for, they all got some extra love while we had fun!”

About: I have had animals my entire life so I am very accustomed to taking care of pets. Our dog had seizures and had to take medication 2x/day. I know how important our animals are and what they mean to us. They are family. Having 3 pets of my own, animal care is in play 24 hours a day. Whether it's potty breaks, medications, or feeding time, I always make sure my animals are healthy and happy. Ensuring that they have food and water and a safe, warm place are of utmost importance. Providing love and affection because we are their whole world!

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a special place in my heart for them. From elderly to puppies I will give your dog the attentive care it needs! I’ve always treated my dogs as family and i’ll do the same with yours! I’m a college student so I have a flexible schedule! It will be my priority to make sure your pet is safe and cared for. Taking care of my own pets has always been a privilege for me! I take my own dog on walks and give him at least 30 minutes of play time each day.

About: I’ve recently moved to Auburn from Hamilton Lake. I had several dog walking clients and I would love to continue here in Aunburn! I am a true animal lover! I’m a stay at home dog and cat mom. I do pottery in my home but I always welcome a fun dog walk! I’m also available for overnight pet sitting and litter box cleaning. I have six dogs and I will treat your babies as if they are mine. I provide walks but they will also receive plenty of hugs and lots of atta boy/girls!

About: I have more than 30 years of dog experience with various sizes and I love them all! I have training experience and Extra Large breed experience. I currently have a Great Dane and a Chocolate Lab. Both are well behaved and get along with other animals, as well as with children. I have a non smoking home for my dogs. We go hiking daily and in the summer, they go swimming. My dogs go every where I go and they are very good travelers. I believe in positive reinforcement and reward them with food and lots of praise. Potty breaks are frequent, as it also gives time to investigate and play! I make sure my dogs have access to water all day long and get lots of homemade dog treats as well. We have a fenced in yard for the safety and security of our beloved pets. I work from home, so I can care for the pet all day and supervise play and potty breaks. I provide snacks and treats daily. I have a fenced in yard and two playmates for your fur baby, that will keep your pet engaged and active. I offer a wading pool in the summer months for splashing and cooling.

About: I have taken care of animals almost as soon as I could walk! Growing up in rural Indiana, my family always had dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, frogs, and even 1 turtle! We'd also help out our neighbor with their Goats and Horses from time to time! I've always had a love for animals which was further strengthened through my 16 years of Zoo Camp at the Fort Wayne Children Zoo! I was a camper for 12 years and a Volunteer Worker for 4! 2 of those years, I was able to train some of the miniature goats! Extra details with my house sitting service! I charge a little higher than others for two reasons: 1) I like to bring my own food to your house so you won’t have to worry about buying for for me which is saving money overall! 2) I am a remote worker so I can spend more time at the house with your pet than other sitters who also have a 9-5 job :) My day to day is fairly flexible as I work remotely at a World Wide Solar Distribution Company! As, long as I can have my laptop and phone on me, I am solid! I like learning about the pets first from the owners, they are going to be the best source of information and taking notes will help keep things organized and straight!

About: I have had dogs my entire childhood. Once I was able to, I got my own dog & she is my baby! We had a bad experience with a sitter & now I am determined to give other dogs the best, most loving, “home away from home” experience I possibly can. I work full time (8-4) M-F but am able to leave work to let your furbaby go potty if needed! I live in the perfect neighborhood for walks & squirrel chasing! My pup is my whole world & I strive to make every dog I watch feel just as loved as my own. Multiple walks a day, plenty of toys, and lots of snacks(if their diet allows)!

About: I have taken care of many different animals, including reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals. I have some of my own even and I enjoy giving them the best life that I can provide. Working with animals has always been my passion. They deserve just as much as us :) I have a very flexible schedule. I have my own transportation and am very good with time management and scheduling. I will always have time to get my clients requests completed. I prioritize my clients wants and needs and will not go beyond their directions. I will compassionately care for your home and animals as I do my own. I love cleaning and organizing and will do extra tasks as requested.

About: Animals have been a passion of mine all of my life. I have owned and cared for many species including fish, reptiles, birds, hamsters, dogs and cats. My love for animals brought me to work as a veterinary assistant and later to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers. I have now been training and competing with my own dogs for 20 years and am also a professional dog trainer. As a trainer, I have earned the credentials to be an AKC Canine Good Citizen/S.T.A.R. Puppy/ Farm Dog/ Trick dog evaluator. With my veterinary assistant and dog training experience I have gained the knowledge to properly handle and care for many beloved pets. I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available most days. Mondays and Wednesdays I am unavailable between 9:00AM-5:00PM. I have plenty of time to provide services for you and your pets. If boarding in my home- you can use my crates or bring your own. I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.

About: From growing up with pets all around me, I’ve gained valuable experience in caring for our furry friends. I understand that every animal has differing needs, and I am dedicated to providing personalized care. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup, offering gentle attention to a senior pet, or simply being a comforting presence, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! While my shifts differ every day, I do not have a specific availability but I am more than comfortable with working around my part-time jobs hours. On days my calendar says I’m unavailable, I may be able to provide services as well depending on the times I am working at my other job! I am 100% always available any time on Fridays! I have two cats and two dogs myself so I feel more than comfortable with my ability to ensure a safe environment for all animals. When it comes to any drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and kindness.
