About: I have 10 pets myself, all well taken care of of and ranging from 5 years old to 1. I LOVE to pet sit and meet new furry friends. We have a huge fenced in back yard for them to play in as well! I have experience with pets with anxiety, fear aggression, and more. I am not scared of inconvenience or personality stigmas. I also have experience with special needs pups, elderly pups, and giving medication. I have always loved animals since I was a kid and always advocate for them. I own my own business where I work from home, so I have plenty of time and availability to take care of your fur babies! I believe in reward based training rather than punishment! I can crate your pups if needed. I also have experience in cats and other small animals who need watching.
About: My husband and I have a lot of experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I've been house sitting /animal sitting for around 7 years on the side. I absolutely love animals, and I've had experience caring for a large variety of them. I've watched 4 large dogs at a time, all of whom needed special medication and attention. I care for every animal like they're my own, and just absolutely love being around dogs. I have a spacious home and I am very attentive. I live in a safe neighborhood, and I am by my phone 24/7 so can be in contact with you at any time. I work remotely and sometimes have to go in to the office. My husband is almost always home, and we always make sure someone is at home to be with the animals. Care is always personalized to the dogs needs. We go for regular walks, follow any dietary restrictions, and always check with the pet-parent if there's anything else needed.
About: I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments since I was a teenager. I am excited to welcome your pooch and provide them with a fun, safe and nurturing stay while you're away. As a RN who works remotely from home, my flexible schedule allows for consistent companionship and supervision ensuring your pup receives breaks, playtime, and personalized attention. I have a fully fenced large yard, two friendly Leonbergers who adore playing with new pals and three kiddos eager to go on walks and play fetch with your fur baby. Of course, separation can be provided if required.
About: Hi, I’m Art I’ve spent the past 10+ years immersed in the world of dogs—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. From working at PetSmart to volunteering in dog rehabilitation programs, I’ve built deep experience with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve been a proud dog owner for over a decade and a trusted sitter for friends, family, and clients who rely on me for consistent, loving care. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, medication, or just a calm, dependable presence—I’ve got it covered. Dogs aren't just animals to me—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet—I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work overnights and I am available during the day noon to 9 pm. I am available weekends with some advance notice. Available in house or come to you with notice. I have a fenced in yard that we do not use chemicals on and monitor for pests or plants that are not animal friendly. Home comes stocked with a friendly playful dog, toys, and cat that will probably hide.
About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. Many times I have been trusted by neighbor, friends and family members to care for their furry loved ones well they are away. I work part time so I have plenty of time to play and hang out with your pets. Wednesday’s and Fridays are my long days at work but the rest of the week I am pretty flexible. I will take care of your pet in their home. That way they are less stressed and have all the comforts they are use to. But if need to care for your pet at my home I have a fenced in yard and two lovable pups to keep your dog company. I could also crate your dog if needed or requested.

She's incredibly dependable and reliable, always showing up on time and making sure my pets are well taken care of. What I appreciate most about Katie is her patience and calm demeanor.

He knows all the little tricks to make animals feel safe and comfortable, especially those who are shy or fearful. In fact, he's helped rehabilitate pets who were afraid of men, showing just how patient and gentle he is. More than his experience, it's his genuine love for animals that sets him apart. He treats every pet like family, and animals quickly sense that. Any pet would be lucky to be in his care.”
