About: I’ve had dogs 🐕 & cats 🐈 all my life. I trained my dog in 4-H & won 2nd place. Pets ♥️ the geierpatch 😬. We have a cat & a dog. They already have a routine & your pets will fit right into it. Tuna snack at am awakening. We cuddle with our pets, go for long walks, have treats & snacks. We are retired & have lots of free time. We love animals.
“Kari did a great job visiting my cats while we were away. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: 3 years ago I raised a litter of 10 golden retriever pups and it was as rewarding as it was challenging! Loved every minute though. 😊 My availability is wide open at the moment! Needing a career change and dogsitting/walking/care would make me much happier then being stuck in an office! Our apartment doesn't allow pets unfortunately but I am more than happy to provide services in home or at a park, whichever is more preferable.
“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”
About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.
“Communicated well about slight schedule adjustments and took great care of my dog”
“My two cats are my babies and I hate leaving them even to go to work, but as it is said, you have to do what you have to do. Miranda was my sitter for Wero and Chico. Wero loves everyone but Chico is very shy and it takes time for him to warm up to anyone. They both loved Miranda and if they love her, I love her. I got daily texts from Miranda along with pictures. Miranda has a true love for animals, she works in a Veterinary Care Center along with working for the zoo; she obviously loves animals. Thumbs way up for Miranda, she is great and your babies will love her. I will use her again.”
“Thank you for taking care of Caroline.”
“Alyssa was great with our doggies! She sent us pics at every visit, so we could see how great they were doing. They had time to play outside and get some snuggles, and were also kept on their usual feeding routine. Would totally recommend her and would schedule with her again!”
About: It all started with the next-door neighbor's cat, Honey. She was my first pet I took care of when they went out of town. I have always loved animals. Since then, I have had (so many!) of my own pets, and I got into the Veterinary Business as a young adult. I spent close to 30 years in VetMed, and now co-own a dog training business. I can not only love and cuddle your pets while away, but I am very comfortable administering medications (including injections), trimming toenails and cleaning ears! I can't wait to meet and fall in love with your babies! I am flexible, but do have to work around a Full-Time job. I also co-own a business, but I can make my own schedule around other things. (One of the perks of business ownership.) I am trustworthy, and can provide references upon request. I will treat your home and your babies as if they were my own. I will also water plants and bring in mail!
About: I have had a dog, birds, and a cat my whole life, which has given me a deep understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. This lifelong experience allows me to provide attentive and compassionate care tailored to each animal's unique personality. Whether it's walking my dog, ensuring my birds are happy, or giving my cat the love and attention they crave, I bring a wealth of knowledge and love to pet sitting. Your pets will feel right at home with me! As a college student, I have plenty of time between classes and after to care for pets. Here’s how I fit pet care into my schedule: Daily Routine: Free Time Between Classes: I can take pets for short walks or play with them during breaks. Afternoons and Evenings: After classes, I have time to spend with pets, feeding them, playing, and giving them attention. Weekly Routine: Flexible Schedule: My class schedule allows me to have regular check-ins and activities with pets throughout the week. Weekends: I have more time on weekends for longer walks, outings, and grooming sessions. This flexibility means I can give pets the care and love they need while balancing my studies! Having a friendly dog to keep me company is a wonderful benefit when caring for pets. My dog creates a welcoming atmosphere that helps other animals feel more at ease. Their friendly nature encourages socialization, reducing stress and promoting play among pets. Additionally, my dog's routine helps me stay organized with walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that all pets get the attention they need. Their calming presence also builds trust with new pets, making them feel safe and comfortable. Overall, my dog adds joy and comfort to the pet care experience, making it even more enjoyable for everyone involved.

I now have 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own that i love and care for everyday. I have good experience with senior dogs as one of mine is 12 years old. I treat every pet i meet as if they were my own and am a lover of all animals. I am currently working part time and take some classes for school through the week. my evenings are very open and most weekdays I have afternoons open as well. I always have time to love on as many fur babies as I can. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to the cats. They have some scratching posts, cat towers, and all their toys to play with, and we also have a catio connected to the window so they can hangout and play out there when they want to. I like to take the dogs on walks and play with them in our fenced in yard every day.

I’ll be there if you need someone during your work hours. I have a fenced in yard. I have three amazing dogs. One is a senior dog. The other two are giant puppies. I am trustworthy and friendly. I can take dogs for walks or just let them out as needed.
About: As a devoted dog lover, I stand out with specialized skills in puppy training. I have experience with my own pup and love spending time with animals. Your pet isn't just a client – they're family. I bring the same love and care I give to my own beloved dog, ensuring a tailored and compassionate experience for your furry friend. As a teacher, I prioritize creating a structured routine for pets. Daily walks, playtime, and feeding align seamlessly with my schedule, ensuring your pet receives consistent care and attention. Weekends offer extended quality time for additional activities and outings. In both my home and yours, I provide a nurturing environment for pets.
