“Myriah is truly the best! She is so knowledgeable, diligent, and detailed oriented. My pup Leia loves myriah so much. Myriah goes above and beyond for my fur baby. Ex.) I got a phone call durning my shift at work that my pup seemed off and she took her to the vet for me. I definitely recommend myriah to all my colleagues and family.”
“Megan was amazing with our Atlas! I had a family emergency out of state so I did an introduction and then Megan walked Atlas for 3.5 weeks while my husband worked. She was reliable, accept my last minute requests as I had to extend my trip multiple times, and even brought her son to play with Atlas since they became best friends at the introduction!”
About: My dad was a police officer when I was younger, and he'd always bring home every stray dog that he got a call about or found. So I've been around dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them & I absolutely love dogs! My family has 5 right now, and there hasn't been a time we haven't had one. There's not a breed I'm afraid of, and I'm very patient & understanding with any dog I meet. I'll follow any rules or restrictions you have & your dog will most certainly be taken care of & loved. One of my dogs is super protective over me so he can be unpredictable sometimes when other dogs are in his house and/or around me. He usually relaxes pretty quickly after taking some time to get used to them. We also have 4 cats at our house. I primarily help my mom take care of my brother with disabilities so he comes first, but that does mean my schedule is usually open and pretty flexible I will follow whatever rules and routines you have in place, and will take the best care of your fur baby(ies). They will be loved on and treated like my own!
“Couldn’t recommend Susanna enough! I loved getting updates and pictures of my boy and I know he had a great time on his walks. Susanna is kind, trustworthy and truly cares about the animals!”
About: My name is Allanna, and I've been dogsitting for about two years now! I recently moved back to Shelby, I actually grew up in the area, so I'm very comfortable and familiar with it! I love all pets - dogs, cats, and even the not so furry ones like reptiles (yes, I'll even love your pet spider if you have one ;]) I also LOVE cleaning, so I'm great for house-sitting as well! I'm a part time barista so I have a lot of free time! I've owned my fair share of dogs and cats (currently I have none, sadly) so no worries about love or experience! I love hiking, so I love long walks! Also as a bonus, I'll bake healthy, homemade treats for your pets, or even sweets for you!
About: With many years of experience as a veterinary technician in both shelter and clinic settings, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and care to every pet I work with. My hands-on experience ranges from administering medications and handling emergencies to comforting anxious pets and supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, making me exceptionally well-prepared for pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive, professional care. Your pets will be in the hands of someone who treats them with the same compassion, patience, and expertise that I’ve developed over years in the field! I love being able to meet other people's fur babies and make them feel safe and happy when under my care.❤️ I am currently only working two days a week at my veterinary clinic, which leaves me with a fairly open and flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, dog walking, and providing reliable, attentive care for your pets when you need it most. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and behavior. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm atmosphere. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their regular routine to reduce stress, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and loved while their owners are away. My background as a veterinary technician means I’m also confident handling any special needs or medical situations that may arise.
About: I have had experience with animals since I was a young child, we have always had animals in our home. In the past 3 years I have had an extensive amount of professional experience dog/house sitting and love what I do. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I am currently a full time online student who also works part time, but I have that extra time to spend with your fur babies! I prefer for there to be a fence at the home for safety reasons but if not I will make sure that your pets receive periodic walks if needed throughout the day and lots of cuddle time!
About: Hi! I’m Andrea — a passionate dog sitter with 5 years of hands-on experience and four happy pups of my own. What sets me apart? I don’t just watch dogs — I understand them. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them comes naturally. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, patience, or just some loving company while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm looking to stay active this summer doing what I love most — giving dogs the care and attention they truly deserve. Since I’m home for the summer with completely open availability, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and fully committed to giving your dog the attention and care they need—any time of day. Your pup’s routine becomes my priority! I can care for pets in my own home, where I have a secure fenced yard and a doggie door that allows for easy, safe outdoor access throughout the day. Before we had a doggie door, our dogs were let out every 1–2 hours or whenever they waited by the door—so I’m always attentive to their needs. Dogs in my care are fed morning and night, and I stick closely to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to care for dogs in their own homes, where I can provide regular visits, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention while keeping them in a familiar environment.
About: Hello! I have around 9 years of experience taking care of pets including cats, dogs, snakes, goats, rodents, and fish. With both puppy/kitten experience and senior animal experience i am confident in my skills and above all care for animals big and small. I am experienced with specialized diets as both my senior dog and cat have special dietary needs, and I've handled giving medicine via shots, pills, and pastes. I do have some puppy training experience as well as working breed care/handling. My farm animal expertise is limited but I am confident I can learn and apply my current skills towards caring for you pets. I am a full time student and work part time as well, so my days can get a little hectic. Rest assured, my furry friends are always given every moment of my free time! I love caring for animals and being surrounded by them, so I always make a conscious effort to be with them as much as possible. Of course your furry friends will recieve that too! Meals and proper walks and playtime will always be provided, and I will do my best to fit into any routines of yours that your pet may be adapted to so they don't get stressed from the change. I make sure to strictly follow all rules set out by the pet parents, including being tidy and respectful in the area at all times. I always come alone, you can always be assured I have your pets' happiness and safety in mind. I do not currently have space to board any animals. I also don't mind doing house chores as needed especially plant care, yard cleaning, poop scooping, etc. Just let me know!!

I’m trustworthy, dependable, and committed to treating your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
