About: Hi, I’m Hannah! Over my lifetime my family has fostered over 50 dogs. While I specialize in hounds, I’ve had a wide exposure to many different breeds of dogs. I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for several months before transitioning to becoming a nanny. While there I learned how to manage multiple dogs at once, bathe and trim nails, and how to support various behavioral differences. I have also owned 2 cats and have cared for many cats in my lifetime, max being 5 at a time all in the same house. I have administered medicine to both dogs and cats, having experience of caring for pets 1 year through senior years (16+). Our pets are like our family members and deserve the best care. I love to send updates on your pets throughout my time watching them as well, and will take plenty of photos. I am an eager learner as well, so if your pet has any specific needs I’m willing to work with you so I can best take care of your pets! I also have some experience with various reptiles. I’m excited to meet and support you and your pets needs! I’m currently transitioning careers, so I have full availability to stay as long as needed. While I have a few activities out of the home such as church and the gym, I’m mostly available. They usually don’t last more than 2 hours, so your pets will never be left alone long. I absolutely love to pet and play with various pets! Depending on the specific animal’s temperament, I’m flexible to play more, or relax with them. I can be adaptable for whatever care requirements your pets may have, whether it be medications, bathing, or exercise. While I don’t jog, I’m happy to take things at a leisurely pace. I also am very familiar with counter surfing, so I will be sure to maintain any pet proofing that the home may require. I can also send updates as frequently as you would like.

“I have used Madeline on two different occasions and both times she has been reliable and responsive. I know my animals are in good hands with her and will definitely reach out to her again the next time I’m in need of a sitter!”

About: During the school year, I am an elementary school teacher and babysitter! As the year starts winding down into summer, I nanny and love to pet-sit for mostly the families I babysit for, as well as anyone with some sweet fur babies :) I have many years of experience not only with basic pet care, but with pets with specific needs and accommodations like timed feeding, medication, etc. I have two dog-like cats of my own, even though I’m a dog person at heart. I would love to care for your pets! I am a 5th grade teacher and nanny in the summer months. I have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore, but are very independent. I have lots of flexibility with my schedule over the summer and would love to hang out with your sweet babies! I am happy to stay with your pets at your home or come and go as much as they need to be let out or checked in on. I spoil my furry friends with lots of cuddles and pets, and long walks! Even my cat Cleo goes for walks and EATS them up!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. From my earliest shelter rescues to my current Shepherd, I’ve always prioritized our pup’s safety, well being, and happiness I’m a stay at home mom whose kids are starting school. I will have plenty of time during the days to give your dogs plenty of attention. I travel in order to give your dogs the best care in the comfort of their own personal space. I have plenty of time available during the day to make sure your pups are happy

“Marina was amazing! She helped us out last minute due to a work schedule change. She took great care of our golden retriever. Her rover card was very detailed, and the photos from the visit were terrific. Marina was very communicative, reliable, and caring. Highly recommend!”

About: I absolutely love dogs and honestly think they are better than humans. I love discovering the unique personality that each dog has. I have owned dogs all my life and have taken care of countless friend's, family's, and neighbor's dogs. I have house sat many times, had dogs stay at my home for extended stays, and become the favorite person to most of my family and friend's dogs whenever I’m around them. I am home most of the time throughout the day and have the freedom to meet almost any need your dog will require. I have a 5 y.o. female golden retriever with a lot of love and energy and zero aggression. I can't think of a better way to occupy all of my free time than to spend my days entertaining your dog! I have all the time in the world to ensure that the services and quality of care that your dog deserves are met! I am available 24-7 to take care of dogs! The only commitment I have during the week is taking my kids to and from school and to their activities. Your Dog can ride shotgun! I will play with them as much as they need! I will feed your dog, go for as many walks as you need me to, take them out to go potty, and give them love and affection. I do have a crate if you would like me to crate your dog. However, I will be home the entire time and there really shouldn't ever be a need. I do have children so I do require that your dog is very good with kids. My kids are pretty calm and very nice to all animals. They love dogs almost as much as me. My Golden Retriever is high energy and very playful as well. So as long as your dog is ok with playing with other dogs then a great time will be had. I will accept any breed of dog into my home and care but I will not accept your dog if it is aggressive towards other dogs or children. I don’t care how wild and playful they are because that’s one thing I love about dogs! But if they tend to snarl and snip and assert dominance through aggression then I’m not your guy. I just want a safe environment for our pups to play.

“I can’t say enough good things about William. This was the 3rd time we’ve used him. He’s always prompt and sends lots of pics. My 3 babies just love him. We will absolutely use him again!”

About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover who will treat your pet like part of my family. From playful puppies to senior dogs, cats, and fish, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets over the years. I grew up with two cats and a blind dog with Addison’s disease, which gave me firsthand experience with special needs pets. I've also cared for a cat with a neurological disorder and seizures, which required administering medication orally via syringe at very specific times. This experience helped me develop a keen attention to detail when it comes to following routines and administering medications, so you can trust I’ll take care of your pet’s needs with precision and love. With over twelve years of dog and cat sitting experience, I’ve handled pets of all sizes, from small puppies to dogs over 100 lbs. Whether your pet is on a special diet, needs medication, or just loves extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, punctual, and always ready to offer your pet the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. You can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands! I’m here to care for your beloved pets every day of the week! Whether you need support during your 9–5, in the evenings, or even over the holidays. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind during my stay.

About: I grew up with a highly energetic German Shepherd as a teen and have lived with and cared for multiple cats as an adult. Aside from that, I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for several years. More than anything, I find animals fascinating, and I bring curiosity and a genuine interest in each pet’s unique personality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I’m currently taking a sabbatical from work so my schedule is very flexible. I can do house sitting any day of the week but walks and drop-ins are by arrangement only. When house sitting, I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible; same feeding times, same walks, same sleeping arrangements. Familiar schedules go a long way toward keeping pets calm and relaxed while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and ask clarifying questions upfront so there are no surprises. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health, and will reach out promptly if anything seems off

About: For over five years, I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds. From majestic Akitas to tiny Toy Poodles, whether family pets, friends’ pups, or drop-ins. I know Columbia’s top trails for fulfilling walks and local pet resources to keep your dog thriving. Versatile, reliable, and devoted to their joy and well-being! I’m available Fridays from 12:00pm to 6:00pm, and Saturdays and Sundays from 6:00am to 9:00am—perfect for sleeping in, leisurely mornings, or early strolls while I’m WFH! For anything outside these hours or if you need extra flexibility, just reach out directly! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their instructions closely, respecting the pet’s space, and observing their behavior to ensure they’re comfortable. Open communication with the client about their pet’s needs and my observations is key to building trust and providing the best care!

About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.

About: Hi there! I’m Hailey, I currently work at an animal shelter and have worked at a dog & cat boarding place in the past. I am very experienced with caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs! I also have experience giving oral medications to dogs and am CPR certified as well. I work full time from 8-4 Mondays and 8-5 Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Sundays. So my availability would be before or after those times. Or anytime on Wednesdays, Fridays, & Saturdays. I am always excited to meet new animals! I always treat them like they are my own pets and will take great care of them!

About: I absolutely adore all animals. I've helped take care of my family's pets for many years. I am also an approved veterinary assistant, and as such have taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes. My schedule has recently been freed up, so I would love to fill some time taking care of your pets! My schedule is very flexible. I understand pets can have very strict schedules that they are used to, and am able to comply to any specifics that need to be met.

“Gregory did a fantastic job with Raisin! We felt totally comfortable that she was being well taken care of. Gregory kept us updated with pictures and comments. We will definitely use his services again. Thanks for all your help!”

About: I’ve grown up raising animals my entire life. From dogs and horses to chickens, cats, and other small animals. I have been dog sitting for 6 years, and love on those dogs as if they were my own. I have raised several dogs into their senior years. I currently work from home, so I am able to spend the whole day with your pet. I’m free to walk and care for your pet from 8:30-1:00 during the week. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have a large poodle for them to play with. I have a large crate should you need it.

About: Hi, my name is Destinée and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your special furry friend(s)! A little bit about me: I have 16 years total experience of caring for both dogs and cats, which started with our family shih tzu named Phoenix, who unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge in 2018 🌈. However, our silly senior cat Onyx, keeps our hearts (and our feet) warm. My experience entails the basics, such as: adhering to walking and feeding schedules, playtime, and baths/brushing. Feel free to contact me about your pet’s specific needs, I am more than willing to provide possible accommodations. Hope to hear from you soon! Currently, my availability is open! I care for my own cat daily, however, I’m also available to care for your pet with same day notice. I provide my cat Onyx with ample playtime and stimulation, both of which your pet will also enjoy. You can rest assured that I provide a safe environment to gain your pet’s trust and confidence. I will work passionately with you and your family to deliver a caring and respectful experience.

About: Pets have been part of my family my entire life! I currently have three fur babies—a Siberian Husky, a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, and a cat—and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. As a longtime Husky owner, I have experience with energetic and reactive dogs, as well as senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications. Whether your pup loves long nature walks, trips to the dog park, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. 🐕🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! With two dogs and a cat of my own, I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks, so adding another furry friend to my routine comes naturally. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I respect their space and follow all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure before every walk or visit. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, including reactive and senior pets. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention, just as I would my own.

“Sara was great! Our apartment was left in the same condition as when we left. She arrived promptly and sent cute pictures of our boy! She was very patient with our wild puppy and played with him (in a structured way that promotes mental stimulation) as well as a nice potty break while we’re at work. Would definitely feel comfortable requesting her services again.”

“Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!”
