About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, and it’s something I genuinely love doing! I’m definitely the person who gives dogs a little too much attention, talks to them like they’re people, and gets way too excited about seeing them! A lot of my dog-sitting opportunities have come through word of mouth, so I’ve had the chance to care for all kinds of dogs and get to know their different personalities. I love making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and spoiled while their people are away, and I always treat them like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine! I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and whatever care they need throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to make them a priority and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! I treat every home and pet as if they were my own! I’ll keep a close eye on your pets, follow their normal routines, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’ll always follow any specific instructions you leave for me, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or their bedtime routine. I’ll also make sure to keep your home clean and treat it with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have worked with animals nearly my entire life, I started volunteering at the animal shelter in middle school. I have worked at a doggy daycare and most recently have been a veterinary technician for the past 4 years. I am currently working part-time and I go to online school at this time. My schedule is very flexible and always able to change things around. I have two cats and two very friendly dogs. I am extremely neat and take cleanliness very seriously. I have experience taking care of plants. I am trained in both human and animal basic life support/CPR certified.
“Madison did a great job with maisy on a long stay! She sent lots of pics and maisy loved snuggling with her. Maisy got sick during the stay and Madison took care of everything. This is especially helpful because I was out of the country and couldn’t be reached.”
About: Hello! I’m a life long animal lover and owner who understands that every furry friend has their own specific needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’m always happy to accommodate and ensure they feel safe, happy, and taken care of. I’ve taken care of family and friends animals all my life. From bunnies to Saint Bernard’s I’ve seen just about everything. I’m a college student that lives close to campus, so even with classes, I’ll be able to ensure your furry friend is taken care of! I am currently a softball player in college. While my weekdays can be a little busy, I live close to campus and have few in-person classes. Because of softball practice, I am not home for 3-4 hours most afternoons. I have an open yard and live walking distance from the Pulaski dog park. Your pet will have inside and outside time with ample opportunities to play, potty, and relax. I have a 2 year old female Lab in the home that loves to play and is quite energetic. Your pet will be cared for as one of my own and will be blessed with toys, treats, company, and love. I will openly accommodate your pets needs as I know every pet is different.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. I grew up with dogs and have one spoiled little sidekick of my own, Arlo! A 7 year old mini Australian Shepherd :) Because I work remotely, I’m home all day and fully available to keep your dog safe, entertained, and cared for. Your pup gets my full attention and the kind of care I’d want for my own while I’m away! We take two longer walks a day - in the morning and around dinner time. In between, we walk at lunchtime and play in the yard.
About: I have helped take care of animals within my family since I was 12. I also have had a dog of my own, and have personal experience when it comes to caring for dogs. I know how to properly take care of animals, and am an avid animal lover. I am currently working a full time job, but I love caring for dogs in my free time. Weekends, and afternoon weekdays are most ideal with my provided schedule. I provide loving, attentive, and responsible care for pets in their own home or my home, depending on the service offered. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedules, routines, and care instructions, including walks, playtime, medication if needed, and cleaning up after them.
About: With several years of pet care experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m home full-time and provide personalized care based on your dog’s routine, energy level, and needs. My fenced yard gives pups space to run and explore safely. I treat every dog like family and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind. A safe space for all 🤍 I’m currently staying at home with my 14 month old so I can make anytime work after 7:30am and can usually board pets overnight as well. Just depends if I’m in town or not :) I always make sure to follow the owners rules + on instructions to care for their pets! We have a big safe fenced backyard, patio, and shade for them with water always :)

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
