We truly got exactly what we were looking for with Sarah. She took incredible care of both our fur baby and our home. She was responsive, sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day, and we felt 100% confident in leaving our dog and our home in her hands while away. Can’t recommend enough!

About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a veterinary student and my daily hands-on experience with animal care. I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in health and behavior, and I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler approach. One of my dogs regularly comes to school with me to help teach physical and orthopedic exams, so compassionate handling and low-stress interactions are second nature in my home. I’m also experienced with puppy socialization, reading body language, and keeping multi-pet households peaceful and enriched. Safety is a priority in my household! Overall, I offer a calm, animal-savvy environment backed by veterinary training and a genuine love for helping pets feel safe, happy, and understood My schedule does become a bit more tight in the new year due to finishing my clinical rotations that can very long days. I also ride my horse, who lives in the Williston area, every other day. I have two friendly dogs. One of them is lovingly called “the nanny” because she’s so caring and takes every dog under her wing. She comes to school with me to help teach students how to perform physical and orthopedic exams, so she’s used to just about everything—and she has an adorable smile with only a few teeth. My puppy is energetic, playful, and very well socialized. My backyard isn’t fenced, but we take my dogs on long walks to help burn off their energy (and mine!). Inside, I have an open living room with a dog bed roughly the size of an Alaskan king, perfect for group naps. I also have a screened-in porch that gives all the animals safe “outdoor time” without the risks of being outside. I keep very few plants in the house because I’m overly cautious about pets chewing on something that might make them sick.

About: Dog sitting, dog walking, bathing, boarding overnight, short term and long term. Private secluded area where doggies can run and play. We don't have crates. Bring your own Crate. Come to your house to walk, exercise, feed, and love. Willing to stay at preferred location for the dog to be happy. We are experienced in separation anxiety, toy aggression. Our house has 5 acres and it's all fenced in with a gate. They can roam freely to get to know the place or simply come inside and sleep on the couch, dog bed-wherever makes them feel happy and safe. We have a pool for the doggie swimmers that is also fenced in and will never be left unsupervised. Lots of walking, cuddling, and always positive reinforcement. Let us help you take care of your fur babies. We have chickens now because I am a chicken breeder so I no longer keep animals at my house but I will gladly come to your house and take good care of animals at their much preferred home. I work 35 hours a week so I have weekends open to come over to your house to watch your animals. I am a chicken owner so my chickens free range so I don’t keep animals at my house anymore. I don’t keep animals at my house anymore. I will come over to your house and take care of them. Any livestock I have experience with. Dogs and cats too.

About: I have had a special connection with dogs all my life. Now that I’m an adult (to be fair, a lot older now) and I wasn’t blessed with children, dogs are my thing! Over the years I have done pet sitting for family and friends alike. I have spent two weeks at a friend’s home while she was on her honeymoon. All of the dog care was on me, walks, feedings, any medical issues that came up. I have provided care for several dogs at once, one at a time, drop ins, overnights with housesitting. I am comfortable with dogs who like to sit on the couch and cuddle as well as those who like to be more active and enjoy some time outside Right now, I am working full-time and I’m only available on weekends. However, that will change and as of 3/5 I will have more availability. I’m looking forward to meeting you and taking good care of your pets! Right now I’m only available weekends but soon will have much more availability. Soon I can provide overnight services and weekday care for your pup. I’m more than willing to follow all your instructions to the letter. Spending time with your pup and attending to their needs would be my absolute priority.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since i was a little girl. Pups truly steal my heart. I also have a history of caring for 14 rescue kittens and foster experience through a rescue shelter. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and I’m deeply respectful of their individual needs and boundaries. I’m also a proud mom of four beautiful kitties and 3 Doggies. i’m a self-proclaimed clean freak, so your home and your pets will always be treated with care, respect, and attention to detail. I’m self employed so Im able to manage my own schedule, I’m able to provide flexible and reliable care for anytime of need, or work around other schedules. I have two large fur babies, i’m used to the “zoomies” and tug of war, i have a fenced in property and a backup-invisible fence for my pups, just in case

About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

Amalia took amazing care of our babies. She stayed with them for 5 days and the house was very clean when we returned. She followed all of the instructions we left for her and sent updates everyday. All of our babies were happy and healthy when we returned, highly recommend!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I’ve had dogs of my own and other people’s pets as well. I love being around animals of all kinds and thoroughly enjoy taking care of them. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time available to take care and play with your animals! I’d love to be able to help you out and play with your babies. I can care for your pets in whatever manner you prefer. I can walk them, play with them, feed them, and put them in their crate if needed.

About: I've worked on farms growing up, everything from dogs, and cats to chickens, horses and cows. I, myself own a husky, boxer and a cavalier, so I have experience ranging from vastly different breeds and sizes of dogs as well as energy levels. I raised puppies and kittens, as well has fostered and adopted dogs and cats. I've taken care of both senior dogs and cats, as well as more trouble maker types too. I work as an assistant for a DVM and have lots of experience going around my neighborhood taking care of their pets as well, this can be anything from letting them out periodically, walking/playing with dogs, feeding them, and administering medicine. I've pet sat ranging from anywhere between a weekend to a few weeks. I would love to extend my service to others as well, as pets are my passion. I am a part time college student with a lot of free time, so overnight pet care or play time visits 2-3 times a day are not a problem for me. I have myself 3 very friendly dogs, my cavalier spends her night in her crate, an elderly boxer as well as a fun loving husky, about 6, who loves dog parks, dog beaches and most of all, dogs. Everyone is very friendly, spayed/neutered and calm. Our cats are very use to dogs and typically spend most of their time outdoors. They have a large outdoor play area, safely fenced-checked often. Based off preference, they are easily separated and do not need to make contact if desired.
