About: I work a steady 9–5 on weekdays and have weekends free, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent pet care. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

About: Hi there! —My name is Neil and I’d love to care for your pet alongside my wife, Nicole! Growing up, I always wanted a dog, but my mother always told me, “When I got my own house, I could get a dog.” When I bought my house, I got my first pup. That was 13 years ago and I have been LOVING the dog dad life ever since. We have one small dog that is our fur child. Lilly is a happy, cuddly Shih Tzu. Sadly, our Toy Yorkie, Shawty, crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022 at 14 years old. 🌈 Friends and family have trusted us to feed, play, and care for their dogs for years. **We currently offer services for dogs up to 20 lbs, but are open to evaluating medium sized breeds.** We look forward to loving and caring for your dog as if they were our own! Our care times are relatively flexible. We will work as a team to help meet your pet’s needs. When you book with us, you get 2 sitters for the price of one. We encourage setting up a meet and greet so we can get to meet your pup prior to their stay. We live in a house that includes a fenced in yard which offers safety and fun for dogs to run around and play. Our dogs have full house roaming rights 24/7; We know many pups are crate trained and can assure you we have plenty of space to crate your pup if needed. Any specific requests for them? Please let us know! We allow dogs on our bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to, of course. We always keep the water bowl full and prioritize safety!

About: I have 15+ years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up owning cats, but I have walked and watched dogs overnight. I currently work full time during week, but I can fit evening walks, play dates, and possibly other services depending on the time and day. I have more availability on the weekends. I never had another person or clients pet in my home. I would go to their residence. I’m very attentive to every animal I’m responsible for when I’m with them.

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Hero 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

Having a new rescue dog we knew we needed someone who could handle not only his size and energy, but reinforce the right training and schedule we needed. Jai has done just that! He not only gives him great exercise with long walks and runs, but he has helped to improve his behavior during walks. Now our dog is pulling less on the leash, and listening to commands better during walks. We saw a change after just two walks with Jai! He is reliable and prompt to his drop in visits, and communicates well so we are never guessing how it is going or when he comes/goes. Having a dog walker for the first time we are lucky Jai made our experience so great and easy! Thanks Jai!

I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 11 years old. I own 3 doggos of my own— a golden retriever (11 years), a dachshund (8 years), and a cavapoo (2.5 years). I also have experience with my local dog daycare as a dog handler. Experienced with giving dogs basic commands, walking, bathroom breaks, eating schedules, and overnight care. I love each dog as if they were my own! 🤎 I am currently a remote student studying to receive my Masters degree, so my schedule can be busy but flexible! Just communicate with me 💌 It is very important for your pet to be as comfortable as possible with me. Please leave me a list of what your little one will need to make their separation away from you as easy as possible.

I highly recommend Karen. She has watched my dog multiple times, she's great at communicating and following care instructions. She is very knowledgeable about animals, let's me know if my dog is having any issues and even gives advice on what can be done to help him. I'm so glad I finally found someone I can trust with my fur baby.

Having a new rescue dog we knew we needed someone who could handle not only his size and energy, but reinforce the right training and schedule we needed. Jai has done just that! He not only gives him great exercise with long walks and runs, but he has helped to improve his behavior during walks. Now our dog is pulling less on the leash, and listening to commands better during walks. We saw a change after just two walks with Jai! He is reliable and prompt to his drop in visits, and communicates well so we are never guessing how it is going or when he comes/goes. Having a dog walker for the first time we are lucky Jai made our experience so great and easy! Thanks Jai!

Amy loves pets especially dogs. She treats any dog as though it’s her pet. She will not stand for anyone mistreating any animal. If you could she would have several dogs.

I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, and have extended my services to petsitting in the last year. I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.
