About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.

About: I have always had a love of animals since growing up on a farm in rural West Virginia full of chickens, pigs, horses, cows and of course dogs and cats. I currently have one dog, a German Shepard female. I'm a single mom who is looking to make some money on the side doing something I love. I work in healthcare but I'm exploring other career opportunities caring for animals. I'm hoping by helping other families I will be accomplishing two tasks at one time: gaining experience and assisting families. If you would like a kind and compassionate person to care for your animals in your absence I might be what you're looking for. I have never been convicted of misconduct towards people or animals and willing to go through background check screenings.

My daughter owns two very active Australian Sheppards and they love me! because I am retired and home full-time i can shower your fur babies with love, attention and activities. Please save me from owning too many dogs by allowing me to invite your pup(s) into my home! I am retired and I do volunteer work, about 10 hours a week. I have a senior dog who requires eye drops and a special diet. In addition my youngster dachshund has completed puppy training, house training and socialization. She loves to play, if you have a puppy, my home is puppy proof and I will help you work on housebreaking. I have a large home with a fenced yard. I have two well socialized and pet friendly dogs.

About: Highly communicative, and very consistent with pet care, paying attention to the time of day for meals and walks so the animal has a routine. I am a Healing Touch for Animals practitioner which gives me an added value and makes dogs feel safe and comfortable around me. My partner, who is a vet tech, may accompany me on stays at your home. I previously worked at a veterinarian hospital and was a dog swim coach for five years, giving me plenty of experience with dog training, managing dog behavior, and awareness of their health issues. I work part-time from home and am around most weekends, so I have plenty of time to care for your sweet pets! Multiple dog walks or check-ins each day are fine with me! I currently can do walks or check-ins or house sitting at your home! I also live by an active dog park that I can bring well-socialized dogs to play at. Let me know how I can best serve your pets.

About: My name is Sage, and I absolutely love dogs. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important routine, exercise, and consistency are. I walk him regularly, work on training, and make sure he gets both physical and mental enrichment. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just hanging out. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your dog and make sure they have a fun, stress-free experience while you’re away! I work night shift, which gives me consistent daytime availability for walks and drop in visits. I’m typically available in the mornings after I get home and in the afternoons before work. I keep a structured routine with my own dog, so I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, and making sure pets get both exercise and downtime. I prioritize a calm, safe environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. I pay attention to body language and behavior to make sure your pet is comfortable and stress free. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, and enrichment, and I always make sure pets have fresh water and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have to keep your pet safe and cared for. I’m also comfortable using slow feeders or enrichment toys if that’s part of your pet’s routine.

About: I care about them as if they were my own. They don't live as long as humans so they deserve the best life we can give them while they're here. The only experience and knowledge I have of dogs and cats is what I've learned on my own with my pets throughout my life. I don't have a job so my availability is mostly flexible. Looking for extra money, I don't have any special skills I just need extra money and love dogs and cats. The only thing I can think of that puts me apart from other services/sitters is the desire and drive to complete any task, besides my love for pets, I have a great work ethic that helps me be motivated to ensure every step was taken in completing a task. Money is also a great motivator but isn't the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", that's a great interpretation of my work ethic. I'm currently unemployed. I usually have availability on Saturday, and Sunday. If I am available during the weekend I will update my schedule, otherwise that's my availability. I cannot offer boarding in my home because I live in an apartment where each pet in my home needs to be paid for and accounted for by my apartment management but I will treat your animals and living spaces like royalty and respect all responsibilities asked of me while I care for your pets in your home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the day I was born. I’ve grown up around hunting dogs and cared for a dog with severe health issues including epilepsy. I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m home full time, able to provide pet care whenever. I’m currently searching for a job so this may change in the future, but for now I am an open book. My dogs ran our household, one of my dogs was missing a leg and still needed to play frisbee and run every day. I like to stay active with my dogs and my clients’ as well!
