About: My wife Hannah and I have had experience with reactive dogs, senior care, medications, daily walks, enrichment activities, and anything a pup could want or need for a happy and healthy life. Two person adult household, we both have full time jobs, afternoons, evenings and weekends can be dedicated to the needs of the dog or dogs.

Erik was so helpful, as I can walk some of my dogs but not all. He took the one that I couldn't & gave him a good workout. He communicated well, asking if could come early as his schedule opened up. I will use him again.

About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.

About: I have always had cats and dogs in my own home. Life long animal lover. I will treat your pet like my own while you trust them in my care. I am a social worker (not a 9-5 job) so I have the flexibility to check on your pet at various times throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard. I am also strong enough to walk your larger dogs. I can also just sit down and give them all the love and pets they need.

About: Hi! My name is Madison and I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! I have had dogs all my life and currently have two cats of my own, Willow and Daisy. From volunteering at local animal rescues to previous work at a doggy daycare center, I have experience with a broad range of temperaments and can quickly adapt to meet the needs of individual pets. As a pharmacy technician, I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medical needs such as insulin or medication. I work full time and am able to stop before and after work. My shifts are about 8 hours with a 1 hour break if an additional stop is needed during this time. I am able to adjust my out of work schedule in order to prioritize your pet! I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets in my care by maintaining a pet-friendly, secure environment. At my home, I ensure all potential hazards (like toxic plants or dangerous objects) are kept out of reach, and I provide designated areas for rest, play, and meals. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions regarding routines, diet, and preferences, while also ensuring their home is safe and comfortable for the pet. I aim to establish trust through clear communication, regular updates, and by respecting the pet's needs and boundaries, making sure they feel comfortable and at ease throughout my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a freshman in high school. I have 5 of my own dogs which is a lot of work but has helped grow my experience. I’m a college student working part time and majority of my classes are online. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands if you need me to check in or stay over. I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment

About: I started my journey working at a doggy care, interacting, playing with, care the dogs. For the last couple years, I have been at the animal shelter. I have experience in emergency medical care for both cats and dogs. Your pet will be safe with me, in every way. I can give you peace of mind. I am a stay-at-home mom, I am home and available to meet the needs of pets with all different schedules. I am constantly in the mode of enrichment. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I regularly help care for a German Shepherd, including feeding, administering oral medications, and providing frequent potty breaks and attention. I’m also experienced with smaller, high-energy dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. In addition, I have my own cat, so I’m very familiar with feline care, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, and giving lots of attention to more vocal or affectionate cats. I also care for my own pet gecko, which has given me experience maintaining consistent routines and meeting specific care needs for animals. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and needs, including pets that require extra care or supervision. I’m available Thursdays through Sundays for full-time care, and can also care for pets on my workdays after shifts. I’m experienced with adult dogs, cats, and pets with special needs, and I always make sure they receive attention, feeding, and potty breaks according to their schedule I provide attentive and loving care for pets, whether in my home or theirs. At a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feeding, medications, and routines, give pets regular attention and potty breaks, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm and clean environment with plenty of love, attention, and safe spaces for pets to relax and play

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl. We always had animals in our house & I have been a pet sitter for many years. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, fish, & smaller animals like hamsters. I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets. I am currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I am able to move things around to accommodate when it is needed. Having pets of my own, I understand different tasks are needed. My services are walks, feeding, watering, letting outside, cleaning up after pets, baths, and pretty much anything needed!

I am an active person and will give your pet plenty of love and attention. I will also take dogs on walks if they enjoy that. I have never had an owner unhappy with their pets stay. I have a Facebook page as well with pictures, information, and reviews. Please feel free to call or text with any questions or to book. I work from home so I will be there most of the time to make sure you fur baby gets plenty of attention and play time!

They will be crated whenever we are not home to ensure they’re safe unless they’re used to free roaming and won’t have accidents or be destructive.
