“It was great meeting and working with Megan! She agreed to care for our "large household" of dogs on fairly short notice so we could take a rare overnight out of town trip. She kept in touch and sent lots of pics which alleviated our worry. She was able to get the fussy old guys to take their meds and convinced Bandit he wasn't being kidnapped so he would walk on his leash. Overall, we were very happy with the service Megan provided and plan to be a repeat client!”

“We were very pleased with Shania’s drop in visit and excellent care for our two Australian Shepherds and our elder, blind Whoodle. Shania’s background in animal care, her timeliness, excellent communication skills and punctual follow through gave us worry free confidence for our time away. We enthusiastically recommend Shania for in-home pet sitting!”

About: I have my own dog and cat at home that I love to care for everyday. I also have experience in caring for farm animals and am hoping to gain experience in caring for exotic animals! I am not limited to just dogs and cats! My family and family friends always ask me to help with dog sitting while they are out of town. I am confident around animals and very caring and understanding of how they act. You won’t regret choosing me! I am currently on summer break giving me more free time. My work hours are very flexible so I can be available anytime to care for your pets I will not do any pet sitting in my home only because I do have my own cat who I would not want to stress out with new animals.

About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats and small to medium dogs but I’m not opposed to bigger dogs. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority. I’m currently working part time and taking online college classes, however my schedule is always flexible for your pets. I keep my calendar updated regularly for your convenience. While I have a concrete schedule for my animals, I am very flexible and will never do anything regarding your pets without asking you first. I will ask you questions before starting services and will keep you updated throughout the entire process. While I am at your home, I am happy to take your pets on walks, pick up mail, water plants, and I will always pick up after myself. I will not go anywhere that is not permitted and will care for your pets like they are my own.

About: Taking care of critters has always been something that brings warmth to my heart. I have cared for animals in my own home as well as family member/friends pets. I have experience with giving medicines, dressing wounds, after surgery care, big dogs and small dogs, aggressive dogs and a few with special needs like mental, neurological, physical, or emotional. I’ve worked with a humane society where I learned about more temperaments of dogs and also at a grooming/boarding facility where I learned about breeds, grooming, and training. I’m looking for a something to fill my mornings before work, and dogs and cats and animals were the first on my mind! I have so much patience and love for animals it just made sense. So if your pups/cat/critters needs fed, walked, or some attention send me a message! I work for the schools during the weekdays so I have some time in the mornings and then one opening in the evening on weekdays. Occasional weekend visits are available too. I would be visiting, walking or caring for your cutter in your home/neighborhood unless we travel to take a walk like to Kellogg or the Y track (I do pick up poop!) I’m very cautious and observant so I can not only take notes and report back to you but also care for the critter in a respectful and loving manner.

“My dogs were in great hands with Donavan when I had to leave for a parent’s funeral. Donovan was very flexible with me occasionally changing dates and times as things changed on my end. What I appreciate most is his responsiveness anytime I messaged him- he always got back to me very quickly. He sent pictures and updates daily. All of this really put my mind at ease and I knew I could trust him with my dogs and my home. I will definitely hire him again and I recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind when needing care for their fur babes.”

About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

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: I’m a nurse interested in caring for and walking animals when off duty from nursing. I’ve cared for my own personal pets since I was a kid. I also have experience helping care for horses and cows. I’ve been in nursing for 38 years. I have time when I’m not working at the hospital. I’m available on weekends and after five during the week to care for your pets. I can care for your pets in your home. I would love to take your fur babies for walks. We have Daisy, our furry family member at home and we have an elderly cat named Cake. Cake is the queen of our home.

“Sarah saved the day after my other dog walker had to cancel last minute. She was willing to take care of him without doing a meet and greet before hand due to it being a last minute request. Very much appreciated!”

“Makayla is always very responsive and has been flexible with me when times have changed. She’s wonderful about sending Biden’s or photos to let me see Fiadh is being loved while I’m away. Thank you 🙏”

About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates and plenty of cute pics! I work a regular job during the week and am mostly available Thursdays through Sundays to pet sit. I usually always have that whole weekend off so whenever you need someone to watch for those days, I am always available. I spoil my pets. I give them lots of treats and lots of love and I will do the same for my clients pets and whatever they need me to do

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛

About: I treat every pet like my own and pay close attention to their unique needs. I have experience with puppy training (potty, crate, and leash basics) and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience or medication support. I also provide regular updates so you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. I am working full time but will be able to tend to your animals within my given availability! Your animal will be in great hands When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate time, and any training reinforcement — so the transition feels smooth and stress-free. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine. I stick to detailed care instructions, provide plenty of attention and exercise, keep litter boxes or yards clean, and send regular updates with photos. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and cared for just like you would at home.
