About: As someone who has grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes from dogs to even a pair of pet rats at one point, I have always loved animals and will take any opportunity to spend more time with them! I have a senior dog named Buddy and a cat named Maple and would love to pour the same love I give to them into your fur babies by playing with them, walking them, and attending to all of their needs. My childhood dog Buddy is also blind, elderly, and diabetic, so I have experience and am very understanding of pets that may need special accommodations and/or medication. Not only do I have experience with the many pets I’ve grown up with and taken care of, but I also have experience working in a pet store and boarding facility taking care of any animals you can imagine. I am currently home for the summer from college and have pretty flexible availability and would love to fill my time taking care of your pets! I promise to give your animals the same love and care I would give to my own pets. I’m excited to keep your pets happy and healthy by walking them, playing with them, snuggling with them, and giving them the undivided attention they deserve.

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter and have been around animals my whole life—they’re truly my passion. I’ve worked in a pet boarding facility and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have experience with reactive, nervous, and high-energy dogs, and I focus on patience, reading body language, and helping each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m trained in Dog CPR, First Aid, and basic training techniques, and I’m currently continuing to grow my experience in dog training. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, basic care, and pet transportation (vet, groomer, daycare, etc.). While you’re away, my goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m currently accepting dog sitting stays up to 3 nights so I can give each pet focused, quality care. I’m very flexible and happy to work with your schedule! At this time, I’m currently only accepting dog sitting stays of up to 3 nights. But I am completely available for walks and drop-in visits. I will always require a meet and greet before a first time service to make sure the pet is comfortable with me. I understand that I will be in the dogs territory and will act accordingly! I offer walks and drop-in services which can include feeding, playing, potty breaks, and anything else that may be necessary for the dogs care and comfort!

About: I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Your dog and I will have a great time on walks or runs together! And if you have a feline friend, I’m just as happy to relax and keep them company at home. I’m kind of a early morning person so I can take your pet out in the morning for their bathroom breaks walks on a nice afternoon I wake up at 5am to feed my cats breakfast Make sure they have their puzzles filled in the morning and night to keep them Occupied/busy. Clean their litter boxes every morning and before bed .

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I I’ve taken a vocational course for veterinary & I’ve have pets of my own!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

I have 3 years of experience, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs throughout my experience, including sweet, energetic pups, reactive or fearful dogs, strong pullers, and senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and understand how important it is to stay calm, confident, and attentive in every situation. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or needs a slower pace, medication, or gentle handling, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated and reassured. I’m pretty flexible! With school i’m mostly not available during the day but weekends and breaks i am happy to stop by and care for pets! I prioritize animal care above all! I am very aware of all animals needs and how i can meet them! I’d be honered to take care!

About: I had a 100 lb mastiff all 8 years of his life on earth and trained him extensively. He walked well on a leash but even when he developed leash aggression later on in life and he pulled I had the strength to contain him. I'm very used to extra large breeds and love them dearly! I also potty trained and crate trained him as a puppy. I am a self-employed wedding photographer that works from home and only works seasonally so I'm very flexible! I have two kittens at home so caring at the client's home is ideal unless the dog is cat-friendly. :) I have a fenced in yard. Whether I am in my home or the client's home, I love walking with dogs and miss it so much since my dog died last June. It brings me joy to give dogs the exercise they need and stay healthy myself in the process!

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

About: Hi there!

I love to keep animals company, and I will do whatever I'm asked to do to take care of someone's pet. If said pet is undergoing training of any sort, I'm willing to make sure that training is implemented throughout the visit, walk, or stay. I absolutely love giving furbabies my attention and love, but will go at the pets pace. I won't force my affections on an anxious animal.

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!
