About: I’ve volunteered at humane societies for dogs and cats since I was in high school. Throughout college and medical school, I have house sat for cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all kitties & most dogs! I will be graduating medical school in May and have all the time to watch pets until I start my medical residency training in July. Pets are welcome in my home. I have hard wood floors and surrounding trails for long walks. I am happy to modify to accommodate them!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have always had a passion to look after and care for all animals, big and small. I am the one my family and friends trust to come to when they have questions about there pet as I have spent countless hours learning about animals in my spare time as it is a hobby of mine. I’ve trained both large and small dogs. To easily trained to the stubborn pup. Nothing is more satisfying then a happy doggo or kitty. I am also a certified dog groomer and have experience grooming all sizes of dogs. I’ve had experience with special needs pets who require special attention such as medication, shots, and mobility/food accommodations. Currently work near by and come and go from my house of rain throughout the day. There is a park near by that I walk my dog to and play with and I know yours will love it too! I have a yard, large enough for play a good game of fetch. I also have an outdoor large dog kennel. All dogs are supervised and leashed at all times when outside. I have a big dog who loves new playmates. There is a spare room where your pet can have there own space, create and bedding. I can’t help but train a few tricks to those dogs who enjoy new things. I’m very flexible if there is any special accommodations needed.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from letting them out to staying at their homes. These dogs range from 40lbs to 120lbs. I love taking dogs on walks etc I’m a full time nursing student so it would fit around classes. I also work part time at the hospital. Typically free on most weekends I don’t have a fenced in yard. That being said if the dogs are outside we would typically be on walks or at the dog park.

“Ellie is great and I would absolutely recommend her anytime! She walked my dog weekly and was kind, timely, responsive, and willing to add on extra walks!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life since I was about eight years old. I have experience with small and large sized dogs and I enjoy taking long walks. Did volunteer at the animal shelter for about a year. Currently own a cat named Percy but am hoping to expand my family soon. I work part time so my schedule is flexible! I can dedicate mornings and the early afternoon to your pet almost any day as well as accommodate many evenings. I am quite active as well and enjoy long walks or jogs. I could stop by your home or arrange a house sitting schedule to care for your four legged family. Depending on disposition, I am able to provide mental enrichment, play, and plenty of walks as someone who walks multiple times every day. As someone who gives a LONG list of instructions for my pet, I know how important it is to trust your sitter will ensure your pet is taken care of exactly how you would like and how they need.

About: I am a student in medicine who has grown up around dogs, cats, horses and small animals and simply can't get enough of them! You will notice that my rates are lower than most- simply because I don't consider time spent with any dog to be work! I love having more dogs around as does my own two dogs. I even frequently foster dogs who are running out of time...I have successfully trained them and helped them find forever homes…16 dogs total! I have lived on a ranch so I have experience with all types of animals- we even have horses, goats and chickens back home! I have a 14 year old Westie named Otis who loves loves loves to have dog time! He adores all dogs and is very friendly. Our other dog, Dale, is just under 4 years old and loves to run and play with other dogs but also enjoys snuggling within them too. I spend most of my time studying which allows for home time with the dogs and when I take study breaks it is usually to go to the dog park! My husband also has a flexible work schedule and spends a lot of time focused on our dogs. Kindof the focus of our house! I have experience with specific dog care, caring for multiple dogs at one time and caring for puppies. We prefer to take nice long walks as we have a great neighborhood for it. No smoking or children in the house. My house is quiet and very clean so it is safe for all dogs.

About: As a life long dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

I’m dependable, patient, and will always treat your pet like my own. My schedule is pretty flexible and I have a lot of availability throughout the week/weekends. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I look forward to doing I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially as a pet owner myself. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behavior, and any specific needs your pet may have. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pet like my own while also keeping you updated so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
