About: Experience with dogs of different sizes as well as with cats. I used to have 5 dogs at once. All with different needs. Very flexible and will acclimate to whatever your pet needs! Very flexible with whatever you and your pet need. I WFH throughout the week and can work from wherever. Or I can just go check on your pet after work or for a walk. On a recent health journey and would love extra motivation to be more active outdoors! I’m very conscious about ensuring pets are well leashed and not left alone (especially outside). Will make sure they get their food (and treats, if allowed) as well as all the necessary pets!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs

About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and expecting my first baby girl in June, so I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.

“Chloe was wonderful! Our dogs loved her and she took wonderful care of them. She was excellent at communicating both before and during her stay. 10/10 would use her again!”

About: I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes over the years. I love every pup, and every pup has unique behavioral and dietary needs, and they should all get the personalized treatment they deserve! As the experienced owner of a giant breed dog (and probably more in the near future), I want you to know that no matter the size and shape of your dog they will receive personalized care and fun time with me! I am retired from professional baseball, and this is a great way to spend my free time! I love dogs, and as a single guy with a ton of free time, this feels like the best use of it! I am happy to do whatever you may need to help your pet out… whether it’s a long walk during the day, an overnight stay, or just checking in and giving some treats, I’m here to help!

“We cannot say enough good things about Mackenzie! She took such good care of our babies. It was the best decision, she made our vacation worry free. My dogs were so happy and well taken care of. Mackenzie stayed at our home while we were gone, our dogs were in excellent hands, house was perfectly clean, she was very professional and kind and sent frequent updates letting me know how my dogs were doing. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: As a firefighter and EMT, I’m dependable, responsible, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. I have experience caring for pets of friends and family and understand the importance of providing consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work as a firefighter/EMT and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. My schedule varies, but I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with pet owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication reminders, or companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable and attentive care. As a firefighter and EMT, safety, responsibility, and trust are a big part of my daily life. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I make sure pets are secure at all times, monitor for any signs of illness or distress, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“My girls were well loved and cared for while my family was out of town.”

About: Hi there! Caring for animals has been second nature to me for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’ve lovingly looked after both my own pets and others’ for years. I welcome detailed instructions and will always follow your preferences to ensure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and at ease. I have experience with all breeds and temperaments, and I specialize in senior pet care. My own pup is 14 years old, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention they need. I also know that some pets need a little time to warm up to new people, and that’s completely okay. I’m respectful of their pace. Before any drop-ins or vacation care, I highly recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet or a walk so your pet can get to know me in a familiar environment. This helps build trust and ensures a smoother experience for everyone involved. You’ll never feel out of the loop! I love sending regular updates and plenty of cute photos, because I know how important it is to stay connected when you’re away from your best friend. I’m here to give your pet the same level of love and attention I’d want for mine. Looking forward to meeting you both soon! I have no schedule on the weekends but I try my best to be flexible through the weekdays. I am solely here to help you get the care your pet needs while your working or even away for vacation. Within my home, my dog is free range due to being house trained. Your instructions will never be too detailed for me! I will follow your instructions to the tea. Just let me know what all you need for me to do :)

“Tatum is a college graduate who is working hard to make extra money. She exhibits intelligence, displays common sense, speaks politely, maintains good personal grooming, and actually enjoys spending time with animals. She recently spent 3 days and 2 nights at our house to care for our two small poodles, ages 2 and 14. She followed instructions to the letter to give my senior dog medications, and she took my rambunctious young pup on extra long walks to wear him out. Tatum was so tidy, you wouldn't have known she was even staying here. She washed dishes that she used, straightened up the bedding after spending the night, and put everything back exactly as it was when we left. I received numerous updates with pictures of the dogs several times a day. I would highly recommend Tatum to care for your pets. You can trust her to respect your home. She is a conscientious in everything she does.”

About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. My days vary a lot, but I am often able to make time if you give me a week’s notice. If you need urgent pet care, do not hesitate to reach out. I cannot promise that I will 100% be available, but I will make the time if I have it. Honestly, I prefer to play by the owner’s rules when caring for their pets. Besides that, I refuse to take anything but a gentle approach with the pets. I am very careful to only administer treats/toys as the owner instructs.

About: We have owned our great Pyrenees mix for 8 years now, and have boarded our families dogs when needed. Our dog loves to have friends over. We are a flexible and loving home. My husband and I have jobs where we are able to work from home every day of the week, so your dog will be with a trusted sitter 24/7. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for a second dog. We routinely take walks with our dog and would love adding another.

About: I have had pets my entire life, always having one dog and two cats. I have raised a kitten that came from a rough background, another kitten with anxiety, a deaf Boxer, a Frenchton puppy and have raised my own kitten in my college dorm. I also volunteer with 4Paws For Ability to train service dogs! I would love to take care of your furry family <3 I am currently on summer vacation from Wright State University, so I am free any time you need me! I can do any type of visit you need me to! I can bathe, walk, play and give your animal basic care. I have my own puppy so walks are something that I take frequently with him and I love to play with the dogs. No parties or any other people will be in your home while you are away and I will send daily updates of your pet!

“Highly recommend Amy! Plenty of pictures & videos! Great communication! Dogs were happy & healthy! The house was even clean when we returned! Couldn’t ask for a better a sitter for my pups! Will be using Amy again!”

About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals for as long as I remember! My parents used to call me the animal whisperer and I used to take care of all the neighborhood animals while their families were away growing up. I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I love walks, hikes, or taking a trip to a dog park of some sort! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment! I’m currently in nursing school whilst also bartending a couple nights during the week but I have plenty of free time and I’m very flexible! I have 3 very playful dogs and 2 mellow cats, one needing special care for her medications so I’m always vigilant to any kind of specific care that your animals may need. I’d love to spend more time outside this summer but I also love a couch potato!

“Lisa took great care of our home and was so wonderful with our two pups! Were so grateful to her for a weekend away with no doggie worries. :)”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet in my home. From tiny pugs to large pyr's, to shy and friendly kitties, and even the occasional turtle and rat, I have always had an affinity for animals. I trained my first puppy at 16 years old, and now at 20 years old I work as a doggy daycare attendant for a business that sees 60 dogs a day! I am no stranger to all things furry and friendly, and I also have some experience when it comes to pills and ointments. Not to mention, I've become perpetually nose blind to your typical dog and cat smells, so if Bella needs a quick bath, I can make that happen! Sunday to Wednesday I am available after 3:30pm for any services you may need. Thursday to Saturday, I have much more time open for anything you may need, and I am almost always open for overnight stays, even on days that I work. I follow any directions or rules you give me to perfection. I am a stickler for pet routines, so you best believe that if your baby needs one walk at 1 o'clock, then lunch at 1:23, and then a second walk at 1:25, that's how it will get done.
