About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all kinds my entire life! I am the family go to for pets who need care or even new homes! I am a stay at home mom currently, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Outside of a handful of errands a week, I am almost always at home! I do my best to stick to your fur babies’ routine and do what they’re used to. I always want your babies to feel safe and loved in my care! I typically follow their lead when it comes to potty and play time. If they prefer space from me, I do not push myself on them. On the flip side, if they love attention and want to play then I am all in! I do have three children, aged 14, 6, and 3. My 14 year old has expressed interest in doing Rover herself, therefore I am slowly introducing her and letting her help me when possible. I also may have to occasionally bring my younger two with me if visits fall outside of our school/work schedules. I will ALWAYS ask first and okay this with you if it is necessary. **PSA - I try to take a lot of photos and videos for social media and promotional content. I take a lot of care to not include any identifying factors that lead back to you or your home. However, if you’d prefer your pet(s) not to be included in these, please let me know!


“Marqita was great! She sent a lot of photos and communicated with me often. My schedule was very unpredictable but she was very understanding and flexible. She took good care of my dog! Highly recommended!”


About: I've taken care of animals of every kind for as long as I can remember. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their loved ones while out of town. I work from my home office Mondays and Fridays. I have plenty if time to play and give restroom brakes several times a day from 6:00am - 10:00pm. My dogs have free rain when I'm home but I can easily crate your pet and/or mine if needed. I have a large fully fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your baby company. I can crate your loved one easily should you prefer.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own learning responsibility at a young age. I used to work at a dog daycare and loved seeing their different personalities! Throughout the week this will be my full time job. I want to use my time to help others exercise their dogs. We can all admit sometimes it’s hard to take our lovable pets on daily walks and maintain their energy. I’m available to provide daily walks and check on your fur babies while you’re away! I have two large dogs at home that love their walks and car rides. I don’t think I can ever open a car door without them flying in right behind me. I’ve got a pretty good hold on their leash although if you have a large dog that pulls during walks I’d love to meet them before hand! I would rather stay away from dog parks to insure the safety of your pet avoiding any diseases or injuries. I have a fenced in yard and both my dogs have regular vet visits to insure the health of your dog in my yard.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Whenever family members or friends needed anyone to watch their dog I was the first person they’d call. I treat animals like people because they have feelings too. I’m currently looking for a new job so I'm free to do walks in the morning. I’m usually free in the evenings if ever needed to watch your pets at night. Whenever watching other people’s pet I usually ask how they want me to take care of them. Usually I try to keep my dog and the clients separated in the beginning.I’ll spend time with them equally then slowly work up to see how they do together. I usually walk Atticus around the neighborhood at the end of the day. I’ll walk him in the mornings and afternoon with him in the backyard.

“Adeline is the only person I want to take care of my dog when I’m away. I have been working with her for over 2 years now and have never had a concern or complaint about her care of my dogs or anything else. She is very reliable and takes excellent care of them. Her attention to detail and frequent communication about how things are going and any needs she notices help me feel comfortable when I’m not there. She loves animals and is very knowledgeable about them. My dogs love her and enjoy her company and attention. If you have animals that are spoiled children I strongly recommend her as your pet care provider.”


“I left for 3 weeks and needed a reliable, loving, caring person to take care of my two sweetheart fur babies who are about a medium size. Allison was always in touch about what was going on and gave thorough reports on how her visits went, which really helped me enjoy my vacation so much more. Allison quickly developed an outstanding relationship with Eli & Bagels to the point where they were wagging their tales anticipating her arrival! Could not be more pleased and appreciative for Allison! Would absolutely recommend her for any pets who are treated like sweet babies as I treat mine!!”


About: I have experience providing reliable pet sitting and dog walking, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs on walks, keeping them active and happy, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, playtime, and any special needs. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own. On my listed available days, I’m open from 6am until 7pm. On the days I didn’t list as available, I still am! From 6am until 12 pm, I didn’t have the option to adjust times by individual days lol. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by providing a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions, so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide regular walks, playtime, and companionship, and I always give updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have been the go-to professional and friend for pet care and house-sitting for many. My goal is always to give your pet and home the same care and consideration I would my own. I have had pets since I can remember. My first pet was a jet black cat resembling the color of a raven. I learned and practiced numerous pet care tactics which allowed my cat to live a very fruitful life to 20 years old. I also had a delightful Bischon with a spunky personality that was always the life of the party. I am no stranger to large size or senior age pets, but am also well acquainted with service dogs. I have experience with pigs, fishes, snails, but my most favorite of all horses! I truly enjoy engaging with furry loved ones and giving them the tender care they obviously deserves! I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur baby lots of attentive care, playtime, and mental stimulation by providing activity throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with ample space and love to go for strolls around the neighborhood and local parks. I love to play games and engage throughout the day.

About: I’m a mom of 5 kids,I have 5 grandchildren.our Husky is spoiled rotten and we love her that way. We are a pest friendly home. I don’t work. I have one son that goes to central private. I take him back and forth to school so I’m able to help. I have a large fence yard also a doggy door for them to come and go.I have one dog that loves to play with others

About: I love pets! I grew up around many different types of pets. We had ferrets, birds, hamsters, etc. at the moment I have a 9 year old red heeler named Sam, and a hound dog named Bella who is almost 8. We love to take walks after dinner with them. I pet sit for my friend when she goes out of town. Her dog Stella comes to my house, or sometimes she more comfortable staying home, and I go over there to take care of her. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I start my day by ensuring my own pets are fed, walked, and given attention before I begin other tasks. Throughout the week, I make time for regular walks, playtime, and grooming, depending on the needs of the pets. I also prioritize establishing routines that help pets feel secure and loved. Whether it’s taking a dog on an extra walk, providing some one-on-one time, or keeping up with their feeding schedule, pet care is always integrated into my day-to-day responsibilities.I am not working my full time job at the moment so I am available for most drop ins at any time. I do have 3 children but they’re older, and they do their own thing now. I am available any time for your pet, and can meet most needs. When pet-sitting in a client's home, I maintain their pet’s daily routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after them, and make time for play or walks. I also ensure the home is safe, clean, and that the pet is getting enough attention and stimulation. With me you can trust your pets care will be handled with love and diligence. From potty, to feedings, to playtime. I am ready to meet your baby. Thank you for your consideration.

About: I have always had an exceptional amount of love for animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats have always been a part of my family. Growing up, my family would regularly adopt and foster animals in need (usually dogs and cats). That being said, I have 20+ years' experience with puppies and kittens. I have also helped care for horses and have had different types of pet reptiles growing up. Additionally, I have experience as a kennel worker at a local veterinarian clinic when I was a teenager. I would have to care for the animals being kenneled over the weekends at the vet clinic, by feeding and walking them twice a day. I would also help keep the clinic clean and make sure the animals being treated were as comfortable as possible during their visit. I currently work as a nurse extern parttime at methodist hospital while I am in nursing school. My current pet family is made up of two cats, a bearded dragon, a frog, and a snake. I love Dogs and miss having one, but I live in an apartment so it's not ideal at this time. My extensive experience with caring for animals and dedicating my life to a career that cares for others, makes me a reliable and safe choice when you need someone to help care for your fur Baby I am currently working part time at Methodist Hospital as a nurse extern 2 days a week. The shifts are not guaranteed, so I currently have lots of free time on my hands. that is until I start my 3rd semester of nursing school in late August I will care for pets in the client's home and respect their property as if it were my own. I will follow instructions that are given to me and be available if the client needs to make changes or has any questions/ concerns

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for dogs and cats throughout my adult life, including beagles, miniature pinschers, German pinschers, and a variety of cats. Although I recently lost my beloved pets to old age and am not quite ready to adopt again, I deeply miss the companionship and joy animals bring. Pet sitting offers the perfect way for me to continue spending time with furry friends while helping others feel confident that their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and always punctual. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible. I am happy to visit a client's home to walk their pet and play with them at any time of the day. I am pleased to walk dogs and tend to their needs, such as medication or feeding. I’m also comfortable with cats as well. I do not currently offer in-home boarding.

About: Hello! My name is Kelsey, and I have had all kinds of animals since I was 10 years old. Currently, I have three dogs of my own. One of them is a senior, one is middle-aged, and one is young, as well as two cats and our rabbit “Thumper”. From dogs to cats to pet rats/ferrets, chickens, etc. I’ve had them all. A spoiled baby is a happy baby! I am also open to administering medicine/vitamins if given instructions on how to do so. I also have an half acre of fenced in yard for them to have the time of there lives during there stay! I would love the opportunity to meet and get to know your babies! I am a stay at home mom. So my schedule is almost always open! I can accommodate just about anything you need! Day or night. Weekdays or weekends. I make sure all animals stay nice and hydrated. Play with toys and run around. Love spending all my time with your babies and getting to know each of them’s little personality!

About: Expert care for all pups! Whether it’s administering oral or injected medicine, providing special needs support, or managing high-energy and fast-walking dogs, I’m here to ensure your furry friends receive the love and attention they need. From puppy care to senior dogs, I’ve got it covered! As a dedicated stay-at-home mom, passionate animal lover, and medical student, I bring a unique blend of nurturing care and professionalism to pet sitting. With my own beloved pets and experience as a mother, I understand the love and attention your feline family members deserve. I’m excited to provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your cats while you’re away! I have one cat and live in a secure, fenced community. For their safety, I do not allow outdoor access, ensuring your feline friends stay safe and receive plenty of love and attention!

About: I’m an assistant dog groomer who is around dogs pretty much all week. I could never get tired of how much joy they bring me just being themselves and making everyone’s day better by being the sweetest they can be. I’m just looking for something to do while I’m not needed at my job and I’m looking to start enjoying outside more. What could be better than to do that with a puppy? Quick checkups at home while they are unsupervised and maybe a walk, medication, food, whatever they need really. If anything is questionable or out of sorts I would alert the owner immediately.
