About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more! I love all animals and will treat them with love and all the snuggles. I can administer inhalers for animals, and other medications. My dog and cat are very sweet and love having other animals visit. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work from home, and can care for your pets with the flexibility they require. I love going for walks and spending time outdoors. I have a large yard, and many rooms to keep your pets feeling safe and comfortable. My dog and cat are both friendly and enjoy when other animals come to visit.

“Christine is great! Our big rambunctious pup has so much fun there playing with the hang, he comes home good and tired. She takes great care of him, even gave him some of her homemade dog food when he wasn’t eating well (with permission of course). She really knows dogs well and we trust her completely with our pup.”

About: I grew up on a farm and am an avid, life long lover of animals. I have more than a decade of direct dog sitting and walking experience. I have fostered cats, farm sat and done farming chores. I feel comfortable working all ages of dogs, follow directions related to your pet meticulously and always exceed expectations of my customers. References available upon request. I work no more than 32 hours per week, mostly from home. I have flexibility and am able to work around the schedule your best friend keeps/maintains. Because I have a large fenced in yard, all critters who stay with me can rome with safety. They can come in and out when they choose, as well will be let out every 1-3 hours. All critters lodging are fed seperatedly and are taken for daily walks. Couches and beds are pet zones and we want all guests to feel at home, comfortable and secure.

About: My Lab pups were immediately potty trained at 8 weeks by my carrying them outside upon awakening. All are kind and gentle loving animals that wear smiles on their faces. Very happy. I am retired and flexible. I live at The House on the Rock and love the outdoors, walking the trails and golf. I am also an early riser. I live in a very pet friendly community with our current Lab, Finnegan and Buster the cat. Finnegan is 2 and loves to play with other dogs as well as Buster.

About: I have pet experience ever since I was 5. I have experience with puppies, adults, and seniors. From small dogs to a great danes, i can care for any dog. Im able to take care of your animals in the morning and at night for the most part. I work midday shift mostly, some mornings. I have a 12 year old pug named Charlie, I make sure he gets what he needs, expecially since he has mobility problems. I can do pretty much anything, feeding, play time, walks, baths, ect.

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.

About: With a spacious lakefront property, I provide endless walks, frequent potty breaks, and serene relaxation spots, ensuring your pets enjoy a blissful, loving care experience. Retired and pet free, I’ll dedicate my days to your fur babies, offering long walks, play, and snuggles by the lake, ensuring their happiness is my top prioroty. In my home or yours, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, from engaging play sessions to soothing snuggles, ensuring a comfortable, joyful environment.

“Kristin was amazing to work with! She kept me updated throughout the day on how my puppy Nala was doing, which helped ease some of my nerves of leaving my fur baby. Nala isn’t fond of the kennel quite yet, and Kristin listened to these concerns and gave pointers on how to warm her up to the kennel. I would trust Kristin to watch my dog anytime!”

About: I have always had pets. Whether fish, cats, dogs, small birds. They are part of my family! I’m devoted! And have even resuscitated a gold fish! I work part time during the week watching my grandkids but otherwise have no obligations except to care for your fur babies and ensure your peace 😉 I will ask for instructions and follow them to ensure your pets routine and comfort is foremost beyond keeping doors shut for security. I will not use or bring other pets or materials into your home that would compromise your pets peace and safety. My children are now adults with lives of their own. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. So, no worries. When I’m caring for your fur-baby, I will always consider your pets safety and well-being first. I understand that little dogs can be fragile. :-) I prefer to care for your pets in your home if possible. Otherwise they must be socialized and okay with my cat. My home is small but I have a yard and lots of walking available - Cats are usually drop-ins at Your home, but if in mine; because I have cats (friendly), I wiIl always see/hear them and be well-looked after. :-)

“Heather watched my puppy for a day when I needed someone last minute. She was very flexible and accommodating! She took great care of my puppy and took her on 3 walks.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since before I could drive. You name it; dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas - I’ve watched them. So if you have other animals that need care, the more the merrier! I love dogs and will be as excited to give your dog a walk as they are! I can give references phone numbers upon request. I have helped train dogs and puppies throughout the years. I may even be able to teach your dog a new trick 😉 I have great patience and a calm, easy-going nature. My husband and myself have opened our home with a very large fenced in backyard to welcome your dogs. Between the two of us, your dogs will feel right at home. My husband is also certified in dog massages (yes it’s a thing! 😅) so if you have a pup with joint or mobility issues, he can assist with that as a bonus! If you are welcoming me into your home, I will be sure it looks just as good as when you left it in my care. Please send me a request to chat about your furry family member - I look forward to meeting you! I currently work part-time and my husband also has a flexible schedule to ensure your dogs have the attention they need during their stay with us. We have a comfortable environment with a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play in and have frequent potty breaks. If your dog needs their own space, we have extra rooms in the house that can be their own during their stay.

About: Hey! :) I’m a professional dog groomer with 3+ years of experience in dog daycare and boarding, along with 6 years of trusted pet sitting. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from high-energy pups to shy or nervous dogs. I have experience with reactive pups too! My background helps me read body language well and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and routine are always my top priority. I treat every dog like my own and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pup—feel free to reach out! I currently working full time, however my mornings and evenings are filled with tons of play time with my favorite four leggers. When staying with us, there’s always someone in home to care for pups 24/7! I have a big unfenced yard with long lines in the front and the back so pups can be separated while outdoors. We have a complete living space on both floors so any pups can be separated and still feel at home. We have three pups and a few cats that get along well with others! All of our pups are crate trained, and we have many extra crates around the home in the event we have some crate trained friends over.

About: Hi! My name is Ryley! I’ve had pets of my own since I was 6 years old, and have been caring for them since. I started helping others care for their animals since I was about 12 years old, and do obedience training on the side. I currently have no traditional employment, and am home basically at all times. I like to go for regular walks and can bring your pet with me, as well as help with bathroom breaks while you’re at work, or vet visits when you’re busy! I have an open yard with a fenced in dog park within a 5 minute walk. I have a crate available, and extra rooms if the animal doesn’t enjoy crates.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.
