About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from rescued feral cats to anxious dogs and everything in between. My experience includes senior pets needing medication, high-energy pups, and even cats with strong personalities. I’ve helped out friends, volunteered for rescue orgs, and raised my own dog, Bronx, since he was a puppy. I adapt to each pet’s needs and understand their cues, whether they need a cuddle, a walk, or space to just be. Your pets are safe, respected, and treated like family. My current availability is Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM. On Saturdays, I'm available before 9 AM and after 1 PM. Sundays are more limited but still possible depending on location and timing. While I don’t currently offer overnight stays, I’m open to late-night check-ins and flexible evening visits if needed. My schedule may shift soon, but I’ll always do my best to coordinate around your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I always give updates for peace of mind. I respect your space, clean up after your pets (and myself!), and make sure they’re safe, calm, and well-loved, whether it's a quick check-in or an overnight stay. I work especially well with shy or anxious pets and always give them time to warm up on their terms.

“Ninette & Ryan did a great job taking care of our 2 kitties! They fed and played with them while we were gone and gave them the attention they needed. They were very accommodating when one of our cats was extra shy. Would definitely book again!”

About: i have had pets my whole life from dogs to chinchillas and lizards, i absolutely love putting time and effort into such a wonderful animal, i strive for them to feel as comfortable and loved as possible i would have plenty of time to check on your animals, typically my day starts at 7am and i focus on making sure the cat has all of his needs, no matter what pets needs come first i have a fenced yard and one cat, my neighbor has multiple dogs but also has a fenced in yard and all of the dogs are very friendly, if i were to be at a clients home i would respect their property and keep things as clean as it was before.

“Casey did an amazing job!”

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful! She was very quick to respond and provided me with updates and photos of both of my animals while I was away. I highly recommend Shannon and she will definitely be my first choice in the future! If you’re searching for a great pet sitter, Shannon is your girl! ?”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years. I have 2 dogs at my parents house in Minnesota. On top of Leo and Ruby, I have watched, played, walked, and loved on many of my friends and families dogs. I have also house sat/babysat many family dogs for long periods of time when the owners are away on vacation. I have a lot of experience dog sitting and dog walking with the puppies friends and families. When living with my parents, I have raised 2 puppies on my own from 8 weeks to adults. So I also have lots of experience with puppies. Dogs are the key to my heart and getting to love and play with them makes me so happy. I would love to get to your know family’s dog! I am all home all day Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon. I only work 8 minutes from home and have a lunch break I could use to be active with your dog! I am extremely active, I walk on the Monon trail multiple times a week and love it. I also treat pets as a very high priority and put their needs first. I love to give treats to award good behavior, and I will show your dog endless love! I love playing with dogs inside and outside, giving them love and endless attention, being active, endless cuddles!

About: I took care of a neighbors dog for the first time at age 11. Since I’ve been relied on by those same neighbors, and others, along with friends, family, and coworkers who are out of town. I have lots of patience for shy dogs who need a little extra love and have worked with dogs of different breeds and sizes. I don’t have much experience with young pups (1 or younger) but I do have experience with older dogs. I’m also experienced in giving medicine, feeding, and safety for dogs. Currently I am out of school and work as a part time host, meaning I have lots of extra time to hang out with pups and cats! My shortest shifts are 5 hours and my longest shift is about 8 hours but those are few and far between. Always feel free to reach out about what my work schedule looks like for the week! I normally work between 1 and 3 shifts a week. I have three cats of my own and they are watched closely to make sure they don’t get outside or put themselves in danger. I also always make sure they are comfortable with plenty of food and water along with space to play around and rest. As for dogs, in previous houses I always make sure to keep dogs on a leash when walking outside just in case anything happens. If there’s any reason I can’t keep a direct eye on the dog outside, I make sure they are either on a leash or safe inside the house. As with cats, I also make sure dogs are fed the right amount at the right time and have fresh, clean water and lots of space to play and relax. I also think it’s important to cater to the animal based on how much attention they need and make sure to give furry friends lots of love if they want it!

About: I currently pet sit weekly— dogs of every size, cats, and farm animals! I have tons of references and love animals with a passion! I also am working towards a degree in being a vet technician! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very free and flexible so I accommodate pet sitting into almost all of my days! I know separation anxiety is no joke so I make sure to spend quality time with your pets playing outside, going for walks, 30+ minutes of time each visit!

About: Welcome to my version of Vacation For Dogs! I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and absolutely love what I do. Whether it's snuggly couch time, long walks, or energetic play sessions, I always tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from young, curious puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and comfort. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medication, crate training, and following any special instructions you may have. My top priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and feeling loved while you're away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. If you're looking for someone dependable, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a passion. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, ensuring they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether I’m doing stop-by visits, walks, or overnight stays, I dedicate focused time to each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I keep my availability flexible to accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, and I build in time for things like medication, play sessions, and feeding schedules. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine—it is part of my lifestyle. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to help them feel safe and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I maintain their regular schedule for walks, meals, and medications, and I make sure their space stays clean and comforting. I’m respectful of your home, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. I also send regular updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind.

About: HUGE YARD with TONS of playtime! Having been in the industry for 14 years, my confidence in caring for your family pet is solid! We have a huge fenced in yard for your pups to play in, and a home full of love to shower upon them during their stay. Message me and we’ll work something out!

Your pup will get plenty of attention! We have animals of our own to keep your fur baby socialized! We also have the ability to keep them separate if that’s what you request! We can accommodate 4 portable crates at a time! Expect to be paying for lots of potty breaks, ear and belly scratches, and a full belly for your precious pup!

About: Young and old pets all deserve proper care. I am prepared to offer that care to any age pet and to whatever pets you have in your zoo! I currently work at a restaurant on the closing shift but my only time blockouts would be lunch and dinner, 11am-3pm and 5pm-7pm. That being said with enough business I maynot need that form of income anymore I have a cat named scout who loves attention! She's getting up there in years and needs several medications but she's very sweet. If you intrust me with your pets I am going to do my best to follow the routine they already have and to the best of my abilities love them like you do.

About: I have stayed in friends homes to take care of their pets while on vacations. One friend has referred me to another person. Dogs are amazing. I work an interesting schedule. But I am able and willing to take care of your dogs. I can bring my work clothes with me. I am willing to come to your home to take care of your furry loved ones. I’d rather your pets be comfortable in their environment.

“Amber was super awesome! She went above and beyond to care for my precious pups. Even when they were all sick she took amazing care of all them! I would highly recommend Amber anytime!”
