About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!

Nina is very responsible and took great care of my new puppy, Charlotte. She played with her, took her outside gave her a snack and made sure she is left in her enclosed area. Will definitely re-hire!

Priscilla is so fantastic with our boys. We had to leave earlier than expected, and Priscilla was able to accommodate us with just a few hours notice. Our boys are so happy when Priscilla care for them. Recommend her without reservation!

About: Dogs have always been part of my family, from Beagles to Bullies and up to three in a home at a time. Friends and family have trusted me with caring for their animals on a fairly regular basis doing anything from food/bathroom check-ins to walks and dog park visits. Experienced walking three medium sized dogs at once. Comfortable with elderly dogs and their needs, including handling seizures and the appropriate care. I'm less experienced with cats but have had and loved them all the same, my only hesitation being allergies from extended exposure to some. Currently open to just about anything. I'm recovering from health issues and have much more free time since losing my dog, they just bring me a ton of joy and caring for them is good for the soul. I'm very affectionate with animals and rely heavily on positive reinforcement/praise, they're very much part of the family and not just pets to me. I understand their physical, mental and emotional requirements and do my best to meet or exceed them. I've always been very interested in psychology and feel that knowledge has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals.

About: Not only have I cared for other people's animals, but I have a furry friend of my own. I know what it takes to love and care for our little family members, and I know what an owner would expect from a caregiver. I take time out of every day to ensure my dog has the best possible care I can provide, and I'll give the same effort to your pet. I have always felt a special bond to animals. At a young age I started caring for animals and slowly gaining more responsibility over their care. I have left food out and changed litter boxes for cats while owners are away, and stayed over for multiple days to care for rescue dogs who needed the company and support while their owner's were away. I work 100% from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am a professional and already use my break times to get outside and take walks / go to parks, so getting your pet exercise is not an issue. I defer to the requests and comfortability of each client. Every pet is unique, and I want to give the best possible care for each furry friend.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.

About: I have been a pet parent for most of my life, and currently share my home with a senior dog and two cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I approach each pet with patience, gentleness, and care. I am comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, including those who may need a little extra time, attention, or understanding. Your pets will be treated with the same thoughtfulness and respect I give my own. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to be present, attentive, and fully engaged with your pup’s needs and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on maintaining their routine, comfort, and sense of safety in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to medications and preferred habits — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I treat your home with the same respect and care as I do my own, ensuring a clean, secure, and calm environment at all times. My goal is to build trust not only with your pet, but with you as well, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Theresa was fantastic. She sent lots of pictures and asked questions if she was concerned about something. The dogs clearly loved having her there and we didn't worry about them at all. We'll definitely use her again!

About: I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of all types. I grew up with dogs and have spent my whole life around animals, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’m calm, confident, and make sure to adjust to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I work full‑time during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings to take care of your pet. That gives me plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, or whatever they need before and after work. Mondays are my completely open day, so I’m available all day then for longer visits or extra care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels genuinely cared for. I pay close attention to their routine and what they need, and I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and relaxed the whole time they’re with me.

Kelsey is wonderful. We knew Kelsey was a good match BUT we were 100% in when our two dogs were instantly relaxed with her . This is not the case more often than not for our Chi mix . Kelsey provides updates when she arrives and based on pictures she sends Milo and Lili are on totally board with their new friend. Even with current higher than normal temps, she is aware of the heat , pavement temp and keeping Lili and Milo in the shade so they do not overheat. Thank you Kelsey! This has been a huge help to us and we appreciate you taking good care of our furbabies. PS our cat, Waffles, seems to be passing on his overly rambunctious love to Kelsey also!!

Meaghan was incredible babysitting our, at times, difficult and needy cat Ashley. Despite a few growls and a hiss at first, Meaghan kept earning our cat’s trust with each visit which is a huge success when it comes to our kitty. Having Meaghan watch our cat while we were away helped our stress levels immensely and I will certainly be hiring her for our next trip.

About: Had a dog since I was a child, and have continued to have dogs my whole life. My current dog is 6 and great around children/other dogs (when she isn’t sunbathing). Currently job hunting so until that changes availability is relatively open. Early riser and love taking my dog on early morning walks in nice weather. A crate and in house fence are available, as well as sectioning off into separate rooms if needed. Plenty of beds and sleep/play space available.

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong
