About: In my 20s, I house and dogsat often when I was in the military for families when they were gone for the holidays. I also worked as an assistant veterinarian technician for about a year at 2 different clinics. I had a chocolate lab, who lived to be 12. I now have an 8 year old, rescue husky-mix and 3 year old brown border collie named Scout. I work full-time and have 2 children. My 13 year old daughter also helps. She has housesat for several weeks for 3 dogs and will be housesitting for 2 dogs & a cat this fall. Thank you for your consideration! I work full time, mostly a M-F schedule. As long as I have a couple days notice, I should be able to make a time work. I can run or walk with your dog. Or I can come to your house and keep them company and/or feed them there. I am active and love the outdoors.
“Wendy did a fabulous job taking care of our two pups while we were gone. She was able to accommodate us last minute. We loved the updates she provided and photos. We will book her again in the future. Thank you Wendy!”


About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.
“Rachel was great! Gave regular updates each time they visited and took great care of our two cats. It was nice to know someone was checking in them while we were away. Would highly recommend and happily use Rachel again.”

“Evan and his daughter Emma were amazing with my puppy Luna. My 3 month old puppy didn’t go potty in the house with him or in her crate which is amazing and he made she sure was taken care of and even sent me pictures then left a super kind letter for me at the end of his stay with her. Thank you so much and I highly recommend Evan!”

About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.
“Jessica was supper helpful watching our 95lb golden retriever while we were away for a week. She was super flexible and was able to even help us twice a day! Will use in the future.”

About: I love to take care of any type of dog. Big, small, they’re all my favorites. I have always had a love for dogs since i was a little girl. My first dog was a great dane/pit mix, her name was Charlie. Charlie was a rescue pup. My mom and i rescued her and she was a very expensive one to get healthy again. Charlie had parvo and lots of other things, but she is now doing better than ever and here we are 11 years later :). Seeing charlie grow into the beautiful dog she is today has grown my love for dogs. I then got another dog, Lulu, Lulu is a miniature Australian shepard and is almost two years old. Friends, family and neighbors have me feed, play, walk, and hike with their dogs because it is something i’ve always loved to do! I also have two cats, one is 16 years old and the other is 7 years old. Pet care is something I always make sure to fit in my schedule. I work part time so i have a lot of time to fit in walks, play time, and some hikes. I have a fenced yard and have tons of treats, toys and another doggo to keep your fur baby some company while you’re away :)

About: I've been around pets my whole life. I currently have two senior dogs that I have raised since they were puppies and am familiar with administering animal medication as one of my dogs is diabetic. I have always had cats as well and am familiar with their needs and when to give them space. I am a full-time student, so traditional jobs are difficult, but I have plenty of time during the day for pet care. During the summer I am very available from mornings to afternoons to nights. I don't vacation often or have many obligations outside of school which allows me plenty of time for pets. I am willing to look after any age, any size and any temperament. I am willing to go to a client's home or take pets for walks or for a ride in the car if they enjoy. I don't have much experience in training, though I am learning, but I am patient and forgiving and will play fetch all day or be a cuddle buddy for the more sedentary pets too.
About: I have hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to dogs, I have experience handling and caring for cats and small animals, including rodents. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I work a job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If there is a change, I will notify you. On the other days, I can provide care between the hours of 7- 10 PM. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully, so both of our schedules align and so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine... feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and more. I give them as much love and affection as I would my own, always aiming to keep their tails wagging, etc. I treat every home with respect and make sure it stays secure and clean. I also send regular updates and photos to the owners so they can feel at ease, knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Olivia was awesome with our kitty- he can be slow to warm up to new people, and she was very patient with him and his spicy tendencies. Olivia is very prompt in her communication and very thorough in ensuring that all directions are understood and followed. We will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve been baby sitting my brother dog for a long time now! And I grew up with some! I love dogs and love to take care of them I work Monday -Thursday, I love to work out so it will be nice to go on long walks or have company while going on runs I will keep your dog company or keep him or her in their creat if needed! Make sure they are feeling at home and safe
“Thank you Tessa. You did a great job walking Luna 4 times yesterday. I love that you text me and sent pics every time. I was so impressed and confident with your professionalism and we look forward to our next booking with you. Very Highly Recommended.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and still love doing it. Dogs make my day better and I love spending quality time with them. I currently work a full time job as a amazon delivery driver, I normally have Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday's off. I enjoy spending time with dogs on my free time. I have a fenced backyard with lots of room. I have 3 dogs both are super friendly and love playing. But if a dog ever comes over no matter the circumstances, dogs will never be left unattended and separated.
“Given the weather here in Laramie during the winter, I ended up not needing Sadie for the dates. However, she met my dog prior to when I was supposed to leave and they seemed to get along great. She has experience with dogs with medical histories, so that helped to feel like my dog was in good hands. Sadie is communicative and was very understanding about the change in circumstances.”
