About: I've been a pet parent for as long as I can remember! I grew up around various dog breeds and other exotic pets so I'm well versed in pet personalities! I've worked in 3 doggy daycares over the past 5 years and have loved every second of it ! I'm able to administrator medication as well to senior or special care pets ! Currently working a few side gigs so my schedule is super flexible! I'm an early bird and can be there as needed but tend not to be around too late at night. I'd love to have your furry friend as part of my daily routine ! I'm used to different sized dogs so wrangling them into crates or rooms as needed is no problem ! I take extra care to keep your home clean and loved to make your time away stress free for you and your pet! (As a policy of my own, I don't tend to stay overnight in client homes unless discussed)
About: i have been taking care of friends dogs on the side of my part time job of working at a doggy daycare and would love to work with more dogs on the side i walk Marley (yorkie) and Max (boston terrier) about once a month depending on when the owners need me to and when they are gone i will make sure i walk them far enough to get enough exercise and make sure to walk them far enough that they go to the bathroom
About: In my life, I’ve had about plenty of dogs. I’ve watched raising them from puppies to watching them, give birth. I’ve assisted them when they become seniors with struggles. To also giving medication and to enjoying them with everyday cares. Best part is playing with them. I have two cats and a dog currently. I’m experienced in cat and dog care on a daily basis. No task too big or too small. I offer drop in care for your pets. I don’t have a fenced yard at home. I will come take care of your cat/ cats and dog/dogs. I do know kennel raised dogs and free/loose dogs in homes also.
About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.
“I'd highly recommend Madalynn to other families. She did a great job with my rowdy dogs. I will use her again.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve learned to love & take care of animals. I am very flexible & eager to help in any way. Allow me to pamper your pets when you don’t have the time! I’m currently between jobs & looking for a fun & helpful way to spend my time. I am available & happy to help whenever you need me! I am observant & patient, so your pets will have my full attention. Between cuddles, play, feeding & walks, your pet will be completely cared for.
About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.
“Kris gave our cat Royce so much love and care during his boarding. We joked that Royce went to an all-inclusive resort. He looks calm and happy when we picked him up!”
“Ann took good care of my two cats while I was away! My energetic cat had fun playing and my super shy cat miraculously came out of hiding to say hello!!”
About: Our first pup was a Golden doodle, Josie, who loved life until 12 years old in 2020. We took a year break and then choose our next love our Aussie doodle, Nova who is now 2 yrs old & is full of energy, loves cuddles, kids and other dogs and their toys 😊. I have been through the puppy stages to the end stages and new puppy stages again. I grew up on a dairy farm so dogs, cats, chickens, & lots of cows were the first animals I ever cared for. Once married and moved to the "city" it is when I first had to train an indoor dog for the first time. Our Golden doodle Josie was a gem & we love Nova just as much! I have an at home business so I'm flexible with my schedule. Walks, chilling in the sun on the patio, tossing the ball in the back yard are some our family favorite activities. Safety and respect for others is my highest priority. I am reliable and your pups will get the love, cuddles, belly rubs & active time they need.
About: I’ve spent over four years working with animals in both a boarding/daycare setting as well as a veterinary office. I’ve handled pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. At the daycare, I managed group play sessions, monitored pet interactions, and provided individualized care depending on each pet’s needs. At the vet office, I assisted with basic medical care, and stayed alert to signs of illness or discomfort. I truly love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own furbaby! I currently spend most of my time at home with my three cats, so I’m very used to giving animals lots of attention, affection, and structure throughout the day. Since I’m currently not working elsewhere, I have plenty of open availability and flexibility to provide dedicated care to other pets. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, going on walks, playing, or simply offering calm companionship. I keep a clean, pet-safe environment and follow any instructions closely, including medication, special diets, or behavior preferences. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and loved :)
“Not a single complaint, thanks for the help Stephanie!”
About: I have owned all sorts of dogs, big and small, so I know the specific needs for nearly every breed. I am an energetic person so I love to walk/run with dogs, but I also enjoy cuddling up and just giving them loving! At this time, there are no animals of my own in the house. I really hope to find clients that would like recurring stays/visits so I can make more furry friends and figure out the best care for that specific dog. Also, I'm an avid runner, so high energy dogs are very welcome! I work at the hospital nearly every day, but I am able to give your pet my full attention during the weekends. Dogs that are routinely left home during the weekday are welcome during the week, as I am not able to come home and let them out during the day. I am typically gone for about 10 hours a day. We live on a 10 acre farm with tons of room to run and explore (on leash)! We have outdoor farm animals but they tend to mind their own business and don’t bother visitors! Your pet will be treated like my own while in my care, plus some extra treats! ;)
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. I'm available after 10:30am on Wednesday Saturday and Tuesday Thursday and Friday after 4:30. I'm available all day on Sunday and Monday I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.
