About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have seen them in every stage of life. I love spending time with them, and I have cared for puppies of all ages, sizes and breeds. I have also pet sit for multiple different clients. I have basic pet first aid skills, and your pets safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently working part-time. Please reach out for my hours and we can arrange something that works for both of us. I can’t wait to meet your pup! The pet being comfortable, safe, and well-cared for is my top priority. I am familiar with dogs of all different needs and energy levels, and will customize my care to ensure that they are happy and healthy. As of right now, I am not offering boarding services.

About: Hi, I’m a 25-year-old animal science grad with a lifelong love for furry friends. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all kinds, worked at a doggy daycare, trained service dogs, and now spend my days hanging out with my own four-year-old yellow Labrador, Juniper. She’s goofy, gentle, and thinks every walk is a red carpet event. I am trained at subcutaneous injections, oral administration, and topical application of medications for both cats and dogs. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats and exotic species and am happy to provide specialty care. I’ve always been the friend who gets asked to pet sit, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own little pack. Whether your pup loves playtime, your cat needs chin scratches on demand, or your senior dog just wants a calm cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. Pets are family, and I’m all about giving them the love, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. Juniper approves this message. Right now I am in the process of finding full time employment, and pet sitting lets me stay active, connected, and surrounded by animals while I explore my next career move. My schedule is very flexible- happy to work early mornings or late nights as needed. I have a large kennel that can travel with me or that can be used in my home. In addition, I have a variety of toys, puzzles, and treats to choose from and have a 24/7 supply of water available at all times. Additionally, my home is guarded with a Ring camera system that I check periodically.

About: I have taken care of multiple types of dogs for many years. I absolutely love dogs of all types but have a personal passion for bully breeds. Good with dogs ranging from seniors to puppies. I work full time but from home so I can fit just about any needs into my schedule. Animals are my passion so they will be taken care of, couldn't imagine treating yours worse than I would treat mine. I can make sure I am spending time with your animal in whatever capacity you need, providing entertainment and positive enforcement of the most desirable behaviors.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my reliable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s high-energy playtime, gentle senior care, or sticking to a detailed routine, I adapt to your pet’s unique needs. I’m currently in school, but my schedule is flexible enough to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I use my free time between classes and on weekends to provide walks, playtime, and lots of love. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, and play—all while keeping your space clean and respected. I make sure pets feel secure while you’re away by giving them lots of attention, snuggles, and consistency.

About: Animals have been my passion ever since I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals when I grew up and ive owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and turtles. I spent lots of time as a kid taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends. When I was 14 I began volunteering at non-profit animal shelters and when I was old enough I got a job working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital where I oversaw dogs, cats, and birds and handled their food and medications. I also lived in Utah for a year where I worked for an independently owned pet care company that offered services for cats, dogs, birds, and more! I absolutely adore animals, and id love to give your fur and feather babies the care they deserve I am currently available mon-sun from 9:00am - 7:00pm with flexibility depending on the day. I want to put as much time as possible into this! I am very respectful and have in-home pet care experience. I like to leave a home nicer than i found it. I make sure to give your pet the full attention they deserve and go above and beyond

“Amelia is great! She seems to really have a love for animals. It was too hot one day to walk my dog so instead of just cutting the walk short and leaving she hung out with her in my home a bit because I told her she has separation anxiety so I thought that was so nice of her. She even agreed to meet before her first booking which made me feel more comfortable too! Love her as my dogs walker!”


About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.

I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years. My mom is a veterinarian so I grew up with plenty of critters to care for!

“Riley watched my 6 year old Australian Sheppard in my home while I was away for a couple days. He is an energetic dog, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was exercised daily, which I have found many people do not like to take the time to do. She stayed at my home and cleaned the house prior to leaving, even though I didn’t expect her to or ask her to do. She is a very respectful person, attentive to dogs needs, and a natural animal lover. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or a someone to walk their animals. I will definitely be contacting Riley again when I need someone to watch my dog!”


Julie S.
“Watched my dogs while we went on vacation and was amazing with them! She played with them and madder sure they had plenty of walks and time outside. She communicated the whole time we were gone so we knew how they were doing. She even kept working on training commands with our puppy so she didn't forget them by three time we returned. They absolutely loved her and I would have watch them again!”


Jacey T.
“Jacey is the most passionate person i’ve ever met when it comes to dogs and their behavior/training. It really could apply for all pets but i’ve found that’s just what makes her tick. Training and keeping pets as happy as she possibly can, giving them everything they need and more. Not only with her personal pets, but treats other pets owners little baby’s as her own! :)”


Elizabeth A.
“At a certain level, I can hire anybody to dog sit--how hard is it to walk or feed a dog. But my two girls--a Chihuahua mix and a Shiba Inu--are little lovers with big personalities who love--and structure (you know what I'm talking about O' Fellow Shiba Inu Owners!). Beth goes out of her way to make sure that they get all the attention that they need when Mom is out of town. I'm happy when they are happy and Beth makes sure my girls are happy. If you want your dogs to be happy, I recommend you hire Beth.”


Emma F.
“Emma is amazing! She’s loving, caring, and great with animals. My dog adores her. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, kind pet sitter!”
