About: I am an all around animal lover who is looking forward to taking care of your furry companion. As someone who has lived with dogs for their entire life, I know what your pet means to you and I am fully capable of providing for their needs whenever you are not around. With me, not only would I be providing them with the essentials (food, water, etc.) but I would make sure to ensure their comfort since I know how much they'll miss you (and vice versa). I am currently working part time at a local business but spend the majority of time at home. I am available most hours of the day to compassionately care for your pet! I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly dogs with plenty of space for privacy for any nervous pets visiting. We have 1 large and 1 small crate that we can easily use if your dog prefers a safe, closed-in environment. Pets are also welcome on all our furniture, I just request a fore-warning if your companion is a chewer so I know to take extra care keeping an eye on them. :) If you prefer me to come to your home to care for your pet, I would love to schedule a day to visit your home ahead of time and you can teach me their routine so I can keep them as comfortable as possible. :)
“Makenzie dropped in to check on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She did a great job! She sent us pictures of them and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I would not hesitate to have her take care of any of our animals in the future!”
About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.
About: Very Flexible Schedule! I love every animal like they are my own! I would love to care for your animal, you would not be disappointed! I have animals (1 cat and 2 dogs) at home, so I,m always in pet care mode! Always on my toes, making sure my babies are safe and okay! I always make sure that the animals have food and water. (if your dog is on a feeding schedule then thats fine!) I will always take your dog(s) on a daily walk, and have some outside time!! I of course love to play with the doggos, and tire them out!
About: From wiggly puppies to wise old seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s high-energy zoomies, slow-and-steady strolls, or extra TLC for pups who need a little more love, I’m here for it all. I regularly volunteer at local shelters to walk, play with, and even foster animals who need a boost of love and attention. It’s more than just pet-sitting for me—it’s about building trust, comfort, and connection with every animal I meet (and probably falling in love with them a little, too). You can count on me for reliable care, happy tails, and plenty of cuddles. Let’s make your pet feel right at home—even when you’re not! Stay-at-home mama (former elementary teacher) with flexible hours and a heart full of love for pets. Two of my three kiddos are in school during the day, so I’m available to give your pets all the attention they deserve—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, love volunteering at shelters, and am all about making pets feel safe, happy, and spoiled. Not quite ready to jump back into full-time teaching, but 100% ready to be your pet’s new favorite companion! In my home, I have a large fenced in yard and indoor kennels. I am good at following directions and will make sure your animal has all their basic needs met.
“Maria was flexible and communicated quickly. Eevee (our fur baby) loved her and did great, we don't trust many people with her, but I would trust Maria anytime and we will definitely use her again. She was so great with Eevee, and sent detailed messages and pictures back with her. Can't say enough good things! 💜💜💜”
About: My family is always traveling and have relied on me for their mini furry loved one. I love taking dogs on walks and if not walks, laying by their side, or playing along with them, doing what they want to do. I have much time currently, so I will be able to take care of your pups however you need! I am available mainly weekdays at what ever time you are wanting. I always make sure your pets are comfortable where they are at. If you have any preferences, for example if you are wanting your pet to be crated, I would gladly make them feel safe no matter what.
About: I’ve got a house full of pets myself (dogs and cats), so I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family. Whether your pet is full of zoomies or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’ve got you covered. I’m super easygoing, responsible with animals, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I’ll treat them like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and treats (if allowed, of course). I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never feel too far away. Let me know what your pet needs.. I’m here to help. I work part-time over the weekends, so I’m available anytime during the weekdays. If an emergency comes up and you need a sitter last minute, I can respond to overnight requests and help out when needed. I’m very flexible and will do my best to accommodate both your and your pet’s needs, ensuring you feel confident and at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their regular routine, whether it's feeding, playtime, or naps. I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings, offering plenty of attention and affection while respecting their space.
About: I have two pets of my own. I have been responsible for feeding family pets when they go out of town for a few years now. I am a teacher with the summer off looking for something to keep me busy! I am free most all of summer unless I make plans for myself. I am a very respectful and responsible young man. I have two cats of my own that I care for at home and love pets. With my summers off from teaching I’m looking to watch pets instead of kids!
About: My name is Nadine. I love every animal I'm around because they are so different. Each one has a different personality. I believe the animal usually tells you what they want or need. They deserve a lot of attention and play time. They should be treated just like our kids. Sometimes animals just want to be left alone but u still want someone to feed, water, and let them out for the bathroom. If requested can give your animals a bath or comb hair and make them pretty. Everyone's needs are different and I pride myself on being flexible to help others. I am very good with being on time if not early. I become attached to most animals I meet and take care of. I work full time but I have Thursday and Friday off if I accept the appointment I will be there. I always keep my word if I say I’m going to be somewhere. Your kitty or doggy will be the highlight of my week to see. I will feed and water your animals, take them for many walks, and play with them all. I believe dogs and cats get lonely and everyone needs a vacation so someone to check in on them while your away is nice.
About: I have had pets all my life and can’t imagine life without them. I’m one of those people who sees a dog and gets excited. My own 4 dogs and 1 cat are my world. I have experience with dogs who have seizures, dogs who have liver shunt disorders and dogs with anxiety issues. I know how hard it is to find a sitter when I have to go out of town. I would love to give pet owners the peace of mind they need to enjoy their time away. Because I teach during the school year I am only available to care in your home on evenings and weekends. I can do twice daily visits on weekends. During the summer, I will be able to schedule twice daily visits throughout the week. As a teacher, I have the summers off to be able to do twice daily visits. During the school year, I can do evening visits and twice daily visits on Saturday and Sundays. I would love to care for pets in their own environments. I would take the time to soend with them making sure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of pups since I was 10 years old. Family members often reach out for me to watch/walk their furry friends. I work during the week at the hospital, but love any excuse to get out on the weekend and hangout with some new furry friends! I understand that each pet is different, and some may take some time getting used to new faces, so with that in mind I’ll try my best to make each pup as comfortable as possible, I won’t rush them into anything. I want to make each walk a fun experience for them!
About: Family, friends, and neighbors have always trusted me with their fur babies. Whether if its feeding, bathing, or walking I make sure they have my full attention twenty-four seven. I am currently enrolled in college online. I go in person Tuesdays and Thursdays as of right now. Other than that, I have all the time in the world to look out for your fur babies. My pets are crate trained. They only use their crates for sleep. I have a fenced in yard that is very big for your fur babies to run as well as extra crates, toys, and treats.
