About: I have had dogs all my life and experienced with young and senior dogs as well and medication management if needed and spoil them rotten in my care 😬 They will get much love and attention as I am a stay home pet mom myself. I am a stay home wife who does not work and love animals so why not give a family a piece of mind that their pet is being loved on and spoiled while they are enjoying vacation or what ever the circumstances may be. My dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed and I am not a big fan of crates but will use if owner requests I live in a ranch home so no steps . It is just me and my husband along with my min pin who loves other dogs and a hermit cat who really stays to herself Our home is very clean and maintained . My dog is spoiled more than I wish to admit but wouldn't have it any other way . Plenty of dog treats and toys at my home Your pet can do as they do in my home as they do in there own home ❤️

Elena was wonderful with our dog, Todd! She was punctual, communicative and sent very cute photo updates. He came home relaxed and was so excited to see her again for doggy daycare the next day.

Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!

About: i like to go by Daisy :) I have worked for two separate groomers and as a kennel technician at a vets office. I’ve always had dogs and cats as pets growing up so I have always been surrounded by fur babies. I have experience with aged dogs, puppies, dogs with special needs, dogs who take medicines, aggressive, shy, or timid dogs. I love being outside and active and love going on walks. I have experience in walking dogs in all weather conditions so I know signs to look for when it’s time to head back home! I don’t mind having pups in my car because if you are not covered in fur you are not living your best life. I also like to sit for cats, reptiles, amphibians, and rodents! i only have a small delivery job that i mainly just make my own hours whenever i want! it does not effect my hours or availability with pet sitting at all! :) i have a fenced in yard, a three bedroom house with a huge basement area! i don’t have any children or roommates so i have plenty of space and time for taking care of all my new furry friends! I offer indoor play and bath times if needed as well if it’s raining. I also love to visit your pets in their homes as well and treat it just like my own. :)

About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛

About: I grew up on a farm and I enjoyed feeding, petting and carrying for injuries of dogs, cats and horses. I have 5 horses and 4 dogs at present and I'm looking to do what I love with your baby or babies. I always have safety in mind, always keeping a potential problem from ever arising.. Your baby would be right in my home with me or your home if preferred. I'm a homemaker, pet care giver of my animals, I also keep my grandpup at times for my daughter. I'm a 59 year old female that has time her hands and would love to do what I love for others that can't. I live away from a main road, have 15 acres, I have one crate for my grandpup if she out I need it, but she usually hangs out in my home with my inside dog and they play a lot. I can take her out to potty on a leash or let her be loose, she has graduated from the leash to being loose. So careful with her because that's my daughters baby, I would be like that with yours. I know puppies have to go out frequently to potty and keep them right there with me as close as possible.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I enjoy taking care of them and they always cling to me as if I were there only caregiver. I love creating those deep bonds with my pets. We now care for a small farm with chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats and pigs! We love our animals and we will love yours too! I am a stay at home parent, so I get the joy of spending a lot of one on one time with my 4 year old Labradoodle “Arrow” 1 year old Maltese “Molly” and my old cat “Raggy.” I have a 23 acre fenced in farm where the dogs loves to run and play, lots of shade trees and farm animals to play with. Our pets get their exercise and run time in the secured back yard and therefore you do not have to worry about running out in the street or getting off the leash. Our pets get fed twice a day, breakfast and dinner and treats for obedience. Your pet will be fed as you require. Our pets are truly part of our family and yours will be loved and treated the same.
