“I have nothing but good things to say. Took care of my Atti like she was family. She will be so happy to go back in a couple weeks to play with Blaze again!”

About: While working in a dog shelter, I cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, including administering medications. I have also volunteered for the past two years at an animal shelter, assisting with the care, handling, and enrichment of both dogs and cats. I currently work as a dog groomer, where I continue to build hands-on experience in animal care, behavior, and handling while prioritizing each dog’s comfort and well-being. I’m currently a part-time groomer’s assistant, so I have plenty of time to love your fur babies! My schedule is easily adaptable to fit the routines that they already follow to avoid disruption. In past job and volunteer trainings, I’ve received extensive training on canine and feline body languages, how to respect them, and how to safely build trust before things like leash walks, crate time, or play.

I’m currently working part time due to school this upcoming semester. Most of my classes are online so I spend a lot of time at home. I make frequent stops at home during the work day as I’m only 10 minutes from home to let my dogs out of my parents aren’t home. I have an electric fence however dogs would be put on leash. My cats have all their necessities in my room so the pet I would be pet sitting for would stay in the guest bedroom in the basement with me to avoid troubles.

“Faith did a great job taking care of Pear and the house. Pear was well cared for, and everything was in good shape when we returned. I reached out a couple of times for updates, and she responded promptly. Overall, we appreciated her care and would happily consider working with her again!”

About: I have been pet sitting and caring for neighbor's pets since a teenager. They have always trusted me with their pets and know I will be cautious and attentive. I am currently a stay at home mom to a toddler and we are looking for extra income. I have lots of time to entertain your pets and take care of them. I have a nice neighborhood with lots of scenery for walking your pet. You're pets will love hanging around the house with me and playing all day!

“We greatly appreciate Ashley taking such wonderful care of our dogs! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and communicated well throughout the entire stay. Our house was left in great condition, and we could tell our dogs were in excellent hands. We would definitely use Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. The dogs look forward to having her care for them again soon!”

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

“Leah was wonderful! Our pups loved her! This is the first time we’ve had a pet sitter, so we were a little nervous but she eased our worries. She was very prompt with messaging and gave us lots of updates! We will absolutely book her again!”

Sydney M.

“Stacey is the best! She is very reliable and we get regular updates. We have used her multiple times and always appreciate how well she takes care of our pup!”

Jessica R.

“Shemoy worked closely with us to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left them. She treated our babies like her own and always kept us fully updated :)”

“Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.”

William K.

“We are so glad that we found Vanessa to be able to watch our dogs while we were out of town. She is so attentive to the needs of our dogs and treats them like her own. She is very knowledgeable about anxious dogs which makes us feel so much better knowing that she is the one taking care of our dogs when we are away.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. It is my firm belief that pets are part of the family and should be treated like family. I have two “fur babies”, Luke and Noelle. Luke is a lab mix and Noelle is a pitbull terrier mix. Noelle is deaf, which means I have experience with dogs with special needs. I am available for dog walking, drop ins, sitting, etc. I am flexible throughout the summer months, as I am a teacher and do not work during these months. During the school year I am available in the early afternoon and in the evenings. I am looking forward to working with you and your family! Rest assured that your tiny (or big) furry family members will be in great hands!

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. We had various breeds ranging in size from small to medium. I chose to foster and adopt large breeds once I became an adult. I’ve given baths and administered medicines throughout the years of owning and helping neighbors take care of their babies. I would love the opportunity to help a family care for their babies! I’m currently a CNA looking to transition into the military so I have a pretty open schedule until the process is over and would be willing to work hours into my schedule if needed! I follow whatever the pet parents rules are for their space and understand that everyone is different with how they want their babies cared for! I am a clean person myself and would always clean up any messes that are made throughout my time in your home!

About: Hi there! If your looking for a dog sitter/walker no need to look any further. I’ve taken care of dogs of a variety of ages and sizes my whole life. I love dogs and have always found them great companions. I have grown up with Golden Retrievers and Cavaliers, so I am comfortable with large and small dogs. I have also had pets in the past with medical issues and am well aware of how to administer medicine and take attentive care if needed. In addition, I have experience with puppies, both my dogs are grown now but I’ve had them since they were puppies. I am used to puppy life with my Cavapoo (Myles), he is very energetic and playful. Hank on the other hand, my Golden, would rather sleep all day, unless we are playing fetch. As a result, I know how to handle pets with different needs, some energetic and some older not so energetic ones. I often dog sit and walk for family and friends, have had paid sitting jobs in the past, as well as bathe and brush my dogs. I am willing and happy to care for your dogs according to your preferences, as well as hangout and play with them so they can have some fun while your away! I work during the week 9-6 sometimes I get off earlier at 4 or 5. I could do morning before work or afternoons after if needed! I also can do most weekends. I am however moving in August so I am only available till the end of summer. I take my dogs on walks around the neighborhood, let them run around outside if there is a safe space. My dogs like to play fetch so I am happy to throw a ball or any other toy to entertain them. I always take my dogs on leash when outside and would make sure to abide by any rules parents might ask of me. I occasionally treat my dogs when they are good pups, so I would make sure to ask the parents about feeding preferences as well as allergies and dietary restrictions.

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently working a part-time internship related to my major for school. This internship only takes up 15 hours of my time during the week. I am available to play and care for your pets any time during the weekend and when I am not working. As I do not have my schedule yet, I estimate most of my time will be spent with your pets in the evening during the week and whenever we can make work! I am very flexible. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Pam was great pet sitting our dogs in our home last minute as we had our usual boarder cancel due to a family emergency. She was very professional, asked lots of questions, and truly cared about keeping my dogs on their typical schedule. Could not recommend her more!”

About: Over the years I have had experience with dogs, rabbits, fish, cats, pigs, cows, chickens. I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, and chickens. As an adult I have owned a rottweiler (2011-2019) and labradoodle(2016-2020) that I absolutely loved and made me fall in love with dogs. They are now angels watching over me. I currently have five kitties rocky (17yrs), Simba (7yrs), Gracie (2yrs), Penny (2yrs), and Bella (1yr). During COVID I had pet and food rabbits and chickens for meat and eggs. I work fulltime during the day usually Monday through Friday 5am-4pm. I work part time on the weekends for a DJ which is usually just Saturdays 3pm to 11pm depending on the event. I enjoy my down time caring for my furrbabies and making sure they have food and water and clean litter boxes. I am always trying to find new ways to make them live a better and happier life. I have a split foyer with 5 cute and lovable kitties. I have a temporary catio on my deck for them to safely enjoy the outdoors. I live in a semi quiet neighborhood that I enjoy taking longs walks around. I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and not scared as stress is not good for an animal. I love getting outside and going for walks so if your animal needs a walk, it will just make my heart happier to have company. Fuurbabies are family so I will treat your furrbaby just like if they were my own.

“Audrey did great taking care of our sweet Jesse girl. Lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated and help with a mommas anxious heart. Jesse played all weekend and had a blast. Audrey will be our first call if we need a help with our pups again!”
