About: I’m available for your animals’ needs - whether that’s caring for them at my house, staying at yours, or just swinging by for walks and pets. I have a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents, and reptiles. I am a full-time remote worker, so I am around throughout the day! Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs I love all dogs and am happy to hang with your pup at your home or visit for long walks. I do 3+ miles with my own dog and look forward to having different buddies with me on my walks. Boarding: I have an old-time Scotch Collie. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup, but personalities don’t mesh, I keep dogs separate in our open-concept/split level house. If your dog is older or more reserved, I can easily separate the pups in our space. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a small fenced area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had 6 pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!). I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too. While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m available throughout the day. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy.

“Very attentive and flexible with our puppies and weather condition. Both dogs loved her and enjoyed their time. Highly recommend and look forward to using again.”

About: Hi! My name is Ella and I am 18 years old. I have had both cats and dogs in my home since I was born and have loved being around animals from a very young age. I feel very comfortable caring for and being around both cats and dogs. I currently am a cat foster parent for The Bond Between, a cat and dog rescue organization and have adopted two cats and a dog from them. Aside from fostering, I also volunteer there as an animal caretaker where I get hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a pretty open summer with time to take dogs for potty breaks or stop in for some cat playtime! I am happy to spend time with your furry friend. I leave to college starting late September! The safety and comfort of both you and your pet are my top priority. As a caregiver, my responsibility is to provide a trusting and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I am attentive and organized which will help me successfully provide top notch care. I am confident in my abilities to feed, walk, play and clean up after cats and dogs.

“Marcy is a wonderful dog walker for our little guy Champ. She cares for him like if he was her own dog. He loves her too!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, helping my parents take care of them growing up. In highschool I got a job at a pet hotel and worked there for a year. This was a great experience, I got to see how dogs interact with each other and learned how to take care of different types of dogs. I have also helped house sit some of our family friends dogs. I am home from college and have most days free. I am available most of the days and am happy to work whenever I am needed. I can not watch any dogs in my house. However, I will take good care of your pets in your house. I will follow any instructions given and help keep your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for 6 years now, and had a summer job at a dog daycare for many years. I have a lot of experience caring for animals, and it is something that I love.

While they are in my care, I will keep a close eye on them and make sure they are monitored at all times. Having fun and getting them exercise and play is a close second on my priority list!

About: I grew up with a household full of animals; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, rats, turtles, and even a rabbit. Starting at age 10, I have walked dogs, taken care of cats, chickens, and even fed little skunk babies in my neighborhood. My children are following my lead and love to help out on walks whenever an owner is comfortable. I tutor, math and science part time, and my daughter runs her bakery. Our homeschool schedule is flexible and perfect to accommodate your pets’ every need. We offer a variety of services; dog walking, drop-in service, and house sitting. Dog walking is scheduled in half hour increments. If you are going out of town and need someone to stay with your pup, we will make sure your dog is given the best care in the comfort of their own home.

About: I love dogs like they are my children. I will take them for multiple walks/runs per day and snuggle them often. I have trained multiple dogs so am familiar with basic obedience training. I work from home full time and schedule several breaks throughout the day for walks. My dog would love a companion to walk with and snuggle with during the day! I have a fenced yard and a cocker spaniel to snuggle with. I have a crate, multiple dog beds, and enclosed laundry room on the main level, if needed.

About: Not only have I grown up with large and small dogs I’ve also grown up with multiple cats! Starting from age 13 I was heavily relied on to care for a high medical needs senior dog so I am no stranger to higher needs animals. I am also known to all my neighbors as a secure and reliable house sitter so you know that your home will be safe and well maintained so you can enjoy a stress free break from life I am currently working as a part time nanny and receptionist at a hair salon so I do have alot more free time to stop by for a walk or come to your home after my part time shifts to care for your home or pet until I return to college at the end of summer I make it a priority to maintain your pets daily routine as to not throw off their internal schedules. If the weather allows it I prioritize one long walk of the day (45-60 mins) and a short walk around 20 minutes however this is modified to fit each dog’s individual needs. I want your pet to be as happy as they possibly can be weather that comes from playtime or mental stimulation toys or even relaxed cuddles as soon as I know your pet and their personality our routine will be further devolved.
