My dog is well-trained, not just in basic commands but also in manners and adventure-readiness, making our hikes and walks smooth and enjoyable. I’ve also mastered the balance of caring for both an energetic dog and two independent cats, ensuring each of them gets the attention and care they need. My ability to read animal behavior and create a structured yet loving environment sets me apart, making me not just a pet owner, but a true companion to my furry family. Every morning before 2 I am more than available to do drop ins other than Sundays. I do in fact work a full time job that I go into at 3. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow their routine closely, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and any medical needs. For exercise, I provide walks, playtime, and mental stimulation with toys or training games. I also respect house rules, whether it’s furniture boundaries or specific care instructions. Most importantly, I give plenty of attention, whether that’s belly rubs, cuddle time, or just being present to ensure they feel at ease while their owner is away.

About: Hello everyone! I’m happy to be of service for you and your animals. I have many years of experience with dogs. I grew up with animals in my childhood home and am very comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained, raised and cared for several dogs myself. Daisy was a golden retriever, Zoe was my golden rough collie mutt, Molly was my 10-lb mutt, Charlie was my very sick mutt, Jess was my hyper husky blue heeler mutt, and now I have Frida. Frida is a sweet girl who loves to work. She is a border collie Australian Shepard mutt who came with me from ND. We are working on learning tricks and trying our hand at herding. Yes when I am with your dog we will work on basic obedience, manners, games, and tricks if you should like. I also have some experience with cats and would love more experience. I fostered a very sick kitten last year and have been around lots of friends’ and families’ cats. If there should be other animals that I have not worked with before, I would be happy to learn how to do so. And I would take my time to ensure I follow your care instructions thoroughly. Looking forward to helping you while you are away! Services in your home - you can rest assured knowing you have an extremely responsible and dependable person in your space. I will be respectful of your things and wishes. I will take extra care to follow your instructions precisely. I do have a dog of my own, which presents a unique opportunity. I can offer you a significantly lower rate if you want me to stay in your home and you allow Frida to be with me. Otherwise she will be kenneled in the car while I am in your home (if you are wanting me to spend the night in your home). I realize most people will not want this, but I wanted to throw it out there as an option for you. Services in my home - Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. They will have structure, routine, and lots of love. Please bring your kennel. If you do not have one, I have a wire kennel that they will use while here. I do kennel Frida when I have to leave the house and cannot take her with me. Your dog will enjoy lots of play time with Frida. We have a six foot fence and dogs will always be supervised while we are outside. Frida and I also really enjoy our walks and your dog would be one of the pack. Yes, I do require a meet and greet to learn all about your animal before I will accept a booking. Thank you for understanding. Love, Erin and Frida 💕 I am currently working part time, so lots of time to watch your animals and love on them. I would love to be able to watch your pets full time. So I am working on filling up my calendar. Let’s see where this can take me. Currently, Frida and I walk daily and it would be awesome to take a dog friend with us! Also, I am currently watching pets for people out of town. I go over in the morning to say hello to the cats, change water, fill food, clean litter box, and make sure they have optimal viewing spots by the windows to watch the birds. Then I return at night for play time, water plants, and make sure I repeat everything from the morning. I’d love to care for yours while you are away too! In my home I have a six foot fenced yard and a border collie policing the yard haha. I have one large wire kennel and one medium sized wire kennel that will house your dog should I need to run a quick errand. When I am in your home, I will be responsible and respectful. I will follow your house rules and keep your babies safe, loved, and cared for.

“Amara is a wonderful and very reliable dog sitter and dog walker. She was always on time, connected with our dog quickly, filled out the report card and was always available if we had additional questions. We can highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to watch your dog.”

About: I have had all sorts of pets ever since I was a little kid. I have been house-sitting and dropping by to walk dogs for 6 years now, and I have never had a bad experience! I have a part time job— so there’s lots of time to spend with animals. Some weekends I am not available because I have softball tournaments, but aside from that I am generally not busy! I have a fenced-in yard and can crate pets if needed. My lifestyle is both active and laid-back, which is perfect for any animal’s preferences!

“Jamie was excellent. We would never hesitate to book her again!”

About: I have had experience with pet care since I was a kid. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and even some small rodents. I was responsible for feeding them, taking them for walks, and ensuring they had a clean and safe environment. As I got older, I gained more knowledge about pet health and wellness, and I even volunteered at local animal shelters to help care for abandoned or injured animals. This hands-on experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and responsibility when it comes to taking care of pets. I truly enjoy being around animals and providing them with the love and care they deserve. I currently work 2 jobs so im normally free all day Mondays, Tuesday evenings and Thursday's as well so i do have available schedule just message me and we can go from there I own 2 dogs currently live with 4 and i actively train them everyday.I like challenging my own pets minds because it helps them think for themselves But also keeping me happy because i already know they do the right thing when im there and not there to watch them.Caring for other people pets i like to do what makes the owner comfortable or even teach them something they didn't know before.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience and specialized skills in pet care. I have extensive training in puppy care, including housebreaking, basic obedience training, and socialization techniques to ensure your young pet grows up well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of senior pet care, providing gentle and attentive support for older animals with specific health needs and mobility issues. My dedication to each pet's well-being, combined with my ability to handle a wide range of needs, makes me a reliable and exceptional choice for your pet's care. I am currently a SAHM (stay at home mom) so most of my time is spent indoors or running small errands. I am more than capable of being attentive to your pets needs. I provide personalized and attentive care for pets, whether in my home or in my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I maintain a consistent routine that includes regular feeding times, daily exercise, and plenty of play and socialization. I have a pet-friendly space with areas designated for rest, play, and training. I also prioritize hygiene, regularly cleaning feeding areas, toys, and bedding. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow the pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I pay close attention to the pet’s specific needs and preferences, ensuring they receive the same level of care and affection they are accustomed to. I keep a clear line of communication with pet owners, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly. My goal is to provide a seamless and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.

“Sophie is excellent! My dog warmed right up to her. She sent me pictures of them on their walks. My little boy looked so happy.”
