“Summer was great in taking care of my cat while I was away for a few days. She made sure to send lots of pictures and detailed notes describing her visits everyday. And followed all the instructions I left while I was away.”
“Thank you for taking such excellent care of my two little babies. Brittany sent lots of pictures with updates through out my two kitties stay which eased my anxiety tremendously. I would highly highly recommend having her watch your pets!”
About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring a deep understanding of a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, and goats. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the level of care, patience, and attentiveness I provide to every animal I work with. I’m confident handling pets of all ages and temperaments, and I have experience with both high-energy puppies and senior animals that need extra care and gentleness. I’m also comfortable managing feeding routines, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn positive behaviors or ensuring a senior pet is comfortable and happy, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job to me — they’re a passion. I treat every pet like my own, and I work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my presence. I am available for drop ins and dog walks everyday but Sunday. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around your schedule as well. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each animal’s needs and routine. In my home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean space to relax, play, and feel secure. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible—this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions like medications or crate training. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household rules. I keep things consistent by maintaining the pet’s feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules just as their owners do. I also provide updates and photos to help clients feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I treat every home with care and professionalism, and every animal like they’re part of my own family. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable—wherever they are.
“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as my background in training. I’ve raised a goldendoodle/poodle mix, Willa, from 8 weeks old, and she knows numerous tricks! I also have experience caring for an anxious senior chihuahua, Cassie, helping her become playful and trusting through patience and calm energy. I’m adaptable and can work with dogs of any energy level, from high-energy pups to more relaxed seniors, always tailoring care to their unique needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work online with a lot of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule to provide care whenever needed, whether it’s for short drop-in visits or long stays. Every pet is unique, so I make sure to listen carefully to each client's needs. I want to fully understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any quirks they might have. That way, I can make sure they’re fed, exercised, and loved in the way that feels most familiar and comfortable to them. I’m very adaptable—whether your pet is shy, energetic, elderly, or somewhere in between. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll need to be okay with two playful (and sometimes rowdy!) female doodles. My parrots, Ziggi (a blue quaker) and Dusty (an African grey), are kept in the basement, and depending on your dog’s preferences, they can be kept away from or near them. I have crates for both of my dogs, so I can create a calm, quiet environment if needed. If that sounds like too much stimulation, I totally get it—in that case, I’d recommend housesitting or drop-in visits so I can create the most peaceful setting for your pet.
About: I have experience taking care of all kinds of animals from standard dogs and cats to hedgehogs, possums, and parrots. Both puppies and senior dogs are welcome. Since I only work during the week, I am able to dedicate all of my time and love to your fur babies on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard but can provide plenty of walks and exercise for your pups. I have two friendly dogs to keep your furkids entertained but never unsupervised.

About: My friends and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. This includes walking, playing, bathing, and just overall spending time with them. I just moved to this area, so pet care would be my full time at the moment until I complete my Dental Assistant course. I could do pet care daily. I would love to take your pups for a walk, or do drop-in visits for any type of animal. I have experience with many different types of animals.
“Jeff was great! He housesat and took care of our cat for 5 days - he provided updates to us and always responded quickly to any messages. I would not hesitate to work with Jeff again and would highly recommend him to others.”
About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.
About: Every since I was born, I've had dogs. I've always had a love for animals! Dogs and horses have been my absolute passion. I enjoy long walks and endless ball throwing! Or anything your dirty friend enjoys, including naps 😁 I have to get kiddos ready at 6am, take them to school and pick up. I have an open schedule! I'm ready to love on these fur babies anytime! I have 4 fur babies that are all very friendly! I like to refer to them as my saints 😁 we go on daily walks and go like to play ball in the back yard! I can crate your baby, if your more comfortable.
“This was a meet and greet visit in preparation for an upcoming drop-in. Susie arrived on time, both dogs took right to her, and we discussed their personalities, routines and needs. I feel very confident that her upcoming visit will go very well.”
About: I’ve always had a pet since I was about 13. I love animals and rescued and taken care of even babies with bottles. My grandma relied on me while she was out of town to feed, comb and take out the litter box of her cat. Friends have relied on me to take care of their pets while out of town or just needing assistance. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am free most of the time just see if I’m available to take care of your pets. I would love to take care of your pet. I have two small cats that are inside and outside. I give them treats every day around noon and have play time with them with their toys and lots of cuddles.
About: I specialize in misunderstood breeds, in heat females and intact males. I can work with reactive dogs, dogs with dog aggression and dont mind moody dogs who just want to be left alone. I work an 8-5 job during the week but am free every weekend, your pet will travel with me to dog shows as well. I also am off all federal holidays. In my home, I allow free roam of my living room and bedroom with someone always watching. I allow them on furniture and follow all instructions to a tee
