“Crystal took exceptional care of Bear when I went on vacation. Crystal played with Bear, took him for a car ride, kept track of his medicine and all his needs. Crystal was kind and gentle and Bear loved Crystal. Crystal cleaned Bears bowl and washed the dishes, plus cooked chicken for Bear before I came home. Crystal went above and beyond and she is Bear regular sitter now! I highly recommend Crystal!”


“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”


About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)

About: I've been surrounded by furry friends my whole life. Chores in my early life included taking care of my childhood cats and dogs. I also have experience raising a litter of pups and caring for senior dogs with special needs. After college, I began raising my own dog, Birdie. My dog and I love adventuring outside in the woods and I am on a mission to visit 12 National Parks with her during her lifetime. Whether it's park romps, creek runs, or nail trims, I'm a pro at keeping dog companions happy and healthy. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability in July, August, and September 2025. I will keep my profile updated with my availablility. I am available for house sitting, as well as early morning (before 8a), midday (11a-1p), or evening (after 4p) visits. Please reach out for scheudling Winter Holiday pet care. My daily routine starts with letting the dog out to use the restroom, then she gets fed, and then I start my day. We walk at least once a day and we try and get to the local park as often as we can (because smells in the neighborhood get boring). My nightly routine consists of letting the dog out one more time (just in case), then brushing my teeth and tucking myself into bed beside the dog, who usually gets her own pillow. Boarding services can be offered with my current living situation, however, two cats will be present (both have lived with dogs their whole life), along with my dog (she is quite friendly and loves to play keep-away with other furry friends). The yard is large and unfenced with a huge amount of woods out back. There is an outdoor kennel with a doghouse. My dog hates it but yours might like it. I have plenty of experience walking two dogs at once, so no problem taking Birdie and your dog on a walk together.

About: I have experience with cats and dogs, but I am open to try working with all animals! I am a retired social worker with 32 years of caring for seniors and foster children. I have a caring heart and I would have lots more pets if I could. This will give me the opportunity to love your animals and fill my heart. I retired two years ago after 32 years in the social services industry and I just finished my first year of substitute teaching part-time. I love animals and have heard great reviews for Rover. I have a fenced in back yard because I have one small 5 year old Teddy Bear. I have two extra cranes that I can use, if needed. I also have a garage, just in case. My husband is also retired and an animal lover, in case I need help. We also visit dog parks, if that is an option for your dog. Also live in a walking development. Our dog loves cartruck rides, so that is an option.

About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Yorkshire terriers to mastiffs. I’ve fed, walked, and entertained dogs most of my life and currently I’m a dog trainer. Currently I’m a dog trainer so I’m required to interact with dogs and learn their behaviors. I love reptiles and small animals, dogs being the most, so pet are is just something that allows me to better myself in that field. My backyard is fenced and I live in a nice area to walk dogs. I’ve studied dog behaviors and body posture so that I can better tend to how they may be feeling during anytime they’re in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property

About: New to the area and am a huge animal lover! Worked in a small town veterinarian office, so I was always surrounded by others’ pets. I have open availability and am more than able to find a time to work around both your schedule and mine to accommodate the proper care routine. Whether it be my own pet or someone else’s, giving them plenty of attention and time throughout the day allows for a proper care routine.

About: I love working with animals! I have years of experience caring for animals between pet sitting and shelter work. I have experience bathing, grooming pets, determining daily food portions, walking dogs, providing companionship, and administering medicine. I find caring and being around animals on a regular basis to be very rewarding. I work full-time Monday-Thursday. I am available as early as 6:00am-5:00pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I can be flexible to you and your pet/pets needs. I will ensure your pet/pets receive love, affection, and adequate time will be given for their care. Depending upon your pet/pets needs, long walks, play time, ect.

Tammy H.
“Tammie cared for my dog who suffered from PTSD and had several triggers for unfavorable behaviors. She took the time to learn the things that set him off so that she would be sure not to do them so that he felt safe and instructed the rest of her family how not to trigger him as well. She took extra special care of him and it was a comfort to me to know that he was being well-cared for in a way that wasn’t causing him more trauma during my absence.”


Clayton E.
