“Natalie seriously did such an amazing job. I would highly recommend her. I’m so glad I picked her to watch my cat last minute. I will def keep her as my cat sitter. I didn’t even meet her when she watched my Kitten but met her when I got home and I saw how much she loved my kitten. I am so comfortable with her watching my kitten anytime. I’m so thankful I picked her as the cat sitter. I also love that she kept me updated with my baby and sent me pictures”

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and guinea pigs, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals. From my Eagle Scout project, where I built a heated outdoor cat house and cat walk for an animal sanctuary, and volunteering at the same sanctuary caring for all the animals, to even birthing a dog with 7 puppies, I’ve always gone the extra mile to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I grew up with 4 pit bulls, dobermans, and german shepherds. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I am pet first aid certified, a member of Pet Sitters International, AND a certified pet sitter. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Every morning starts with feeding and checking on my birds, I ensure they have fresh food, clean cages, and some out-of-cage time for flying or play. My evenings include settling all the animals in my care, ensuring their environments are safe and comfortable, and spending quality time with each. Weekly, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and planning for upcoming stays or any special care needs. Pet care is more than a task for me—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. When we sit pets, we treat them like part of the family. In our secure, fenced yard, dogs get plenty of playtime and exercise, whether it’s fetch, running around, or simply exploring the space. Our yard is also treated with Vets Best tick/flea spray. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they’re safe and happy. My goal is to ensure they feel at home while their owners are away, with a mix of outdoor fun, indoor comfort, and plenty of love.

About: I have two German Shepherds, one Belgian Malinois, one Shepsky, and this Jack Russell mix that completes this motley crew. I am a nurse who finds solace and stress relief in spending time with and caring for animals, especially dogs. I’d love to help you out with your pups if they need walks or playtime. I have cared for medically fragile dogs in the past and will follow your, or the vets, instructions as needed. I have over one acre of land for your dogs to play if they are to board in my home. I am home most of the time in the summer. If you have any questions, just ask! I’m a school nurse now, so I’m off during the summer months and holidays. I run errands sometimes during the day, or step out to walk dogs. I’m not gone for long. My schedule will change during the school year, but I will be home late afternoons and weekends. If I’m dropping in only, I’ll play with your pup and clean up any messes they’ve made or follow your instructions. If I’m taking them for a walk, I take a few minutes to get to know them if they haven’t met me before or play to say hi. Water bowls are cleaned and refilled before I leave. Big dogs subject to bloat - I let them calm down if panting after a walk before watering/feeding. If they’re in my home, they’re treated like royalty along with my pack. Introductions are done outside so that there’s no tension. Everyone is playing and the meeting is casual. I look to you for information on their personalities and care. I have an invisible fence for my dogs. If your dog is familiar and trained, I can provide a collar. I’m also experienced and trained with the e collar if that’s how your pup was trained. It will never be used as punishment.

“Sharon is great! Mishi felt comfortable from the start. We're looking forward to many more visits!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over eight years and I’ve always stepped in to help friends and family when they travel. Since I was 17 now that I’m turning 32 I have been trusted sitter for multiple families building strong relationships based on reliability and care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training like potty pads sit paw and outdoor bathroom habits, as well as with senior dogs who need extra attention due to health issues. I’m also very patient with timid dogs and love helping them feel safe and comfortable over overtime. More than anything I truly love animals. When their families are away, I do my best to make them feel safe loved and right at home. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule that I actually make my own schedule at work so I have a lot of time to make sure that if a family needs me for anything important like a walk or just a check in to make sure that the dogs have food and water I can do so. I have more than five years of experience of working with animals in their own homes in the clients homes, and I make sure that I follow every rule and every step that a client does leave for me because I want the dog to have the same routine as if their families have not left for a day or the week. If I do care for an animal at my own house, I do make sure that I still do follow the rules at the families give me and make sure that they feel loved even though they are in a new environment and it might be a little scary for them at first, but I always make sure to make them feel as comfortable as possible with that being taking them around the house, letting them smell around, making sure that they’re comfortable with my things that I have such as furniture if I’m making Food or if I’m cleaning and they don’t feel overwhelmed by noises so I always make sure that I’m watching their behavior and just following their steps.
