“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sends! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I 100% recommend Katie for any of your needs!”

About: I worked at a reputable kennel for a year in cat and dog walking, grooming, basic training, and health. I've also worked with many other pets throughout my life. I currently work mornings and I may have some small events certain days, but I am willing to work around it. Bookings at least three days in advance will be the only ones I accept unless stated otherwise. I cannot bring dogs or cats back to my home due to allergies of family members, but I can do anything outside my home or in yours. Whatever I can do to keep your pets happy is my pleasure.

“Laura is such a kind, animal loving person! She is excellent at communicating and so wonderful with my dogs. They are excited when she comes over to walk them. Highly recommend her!”


About: Ever since I have been a pet sitter, I treat every animal as if they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every animal I meet and create great bonds with my furry friends. When not at my 9-5, I always make time for my animals. I love taking morning and evening walks and playing fetch. Weekends I even take adventures with them. When taking care of pets, I treat them as if they are my own children. I never want them to feel nervous and upset, I try to give them the best experiences I can.

About: I believe that every dog deserves love, attention, and plenty of exercise, so I tailor my care to fit each pup's unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves chasing frisbees, sniffing out new trails, or just lounging around with a good chew toy, I’m here to ensure they have a fantastic experience. As a passionate dog lover living in a cozy house with a fenced in yard. My home is a welcoming space for your furry friends, and I’m committed to providing them with the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. With plenty of trails nearby, we can enjoy long walks, playful day at the park, and even some cozy cuddle time at home. I have experience with various breeds and personalities, so I can adapt my approach to meet your pet’s unique needs. You can rest assured knowing your beloved companion is in safe hands. I'm also happy to send updates and photos to keep you connected during your time apart. My commitment to your pet’s well-being means you can relax knowing they’re cared for by someone who treats them like family. If your dog has any specific routines or favorite activities, just let me know, and I’ll be sure to incorporate them into our time together! Let’s make sure your pup has a tail-wagging great time! 🐶❤️🐾 My schedule is pretty open right now, so I’m available all week. If you have any questions please fill free to message me. Thanks you! I have a large fenced yard and one fur baby of my own. I can also crate dogs. If wanted. I don’t mind going to clients homes for sitting it’s just what you would prefer :)

About: Hi! I am Briana I have 8 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, and I would love to take care of your furry friends! I have lots of energy and would love to walk/play with your fur babies. I have experience administering medication to animals, and aiding my elderly dog in her declining health. I’m currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. Time with your pets will not be rushed. I can crate your dog if needed even if they are big/stubborn I am very strong even though I don’t look it this also goes for walking, I can ensure your dog doesn’t get off of the leash. I will make sure to leave a clients home just as I found it and I am not afraid to pick up poop.

About: - Please note: On my property I have created a private fenced dog park and will pick u your fur baby, travel to my private dog park, spend a few hours having amazing fun and then travel back home, happy as can be and exhausted! - I have been a volunteer and foster of shelter animals as well as rescuing and providing a forever home for animals for many years. I worked at a shelter for a short time before resigning to open my own animal rescue. Working at an animal shelter opened my eyes to so many issues and reasons why people surrender their animals. I am currently in the process of opening an animal rescue through fostering each animal while finding a forever home for them. In addition, my rescue will focus on educating the public on the responsibilities of owning an animal over its lifetime. Opening a Non Profit rescue is what I am doing in my spare time because I have to continue to earn a living to provide for my family. Dog/cat sitting is the perfect profession for me because I get to continue to work with animals on a full-time basis and I feel this is the area in which I thrive and can continue to help with providing the best care possible. Over the years I have learned something from every animal I have worked with and/or owned. In recent years, I have completed training in Behavior Adjustment Training and The DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK. I have the skills to know how to positively and appropriately approach animals as well as interact with them in a healthy way. In addition, I have the skills to quickly earn the trust of an animal. I am hoping that caring for animals will become my profession because I feel that I thrive in this area. Animals are the food for my soul and it would be a dream come true to work with them on a full-time basis. In my home and in my client’s home I practice what I have learned through attending dog training school as well as reading and practicing “THE DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK.” Through school and experience I have learned how to appropriately approach animals, how to interact in a positive manner and how to gain the trust of an animal. In addition, I have the skills to positively interact with animals that may have difficulty walking on a leash, excessive jumping and much more.

About: My name is Melanie and I am a pet lover at heart. I have several years of pet sitting experience under my belt, I understand how important it is for pet owners to find someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring for their furry friends. I believe in maintaining routines and creating an stress-free environment, ensuring that your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away. Additionally, I am in the process of completing a dog training course and am planning on starting my own business within the next year! I look forward to spending time with your pets while you’re away. 🤍 I do work a full time job but I will always work to make sure I can fit people into my schedule to help them out with their animals needs while they’re unavailable. When I visit a clients home, I always make sure to do what is asked and what is expected of me. I also update clients with pictures and videos to let them know their pets are safe and cared for!

About: I've cared for puppies, poodles, a parakeet, pretty black labs, and purrrfect kitties. I loved them all like they were my family. Would love to do the same for you. I'm currently semi- retired so I will have time to take your fur babies for a walk and interact with them. They will be happy when you get home! I'm a stickler for making sure your pet pal has water, food, and treats. I can bath your pet if needed. Walking your pet will not be hurried, so your pet can stop and smell the roses, or whatever dogs like to smell. Oh I will always bring doggie bags to clean up.

About: I enjoy animals because just like humans, they’re all so different with unique personalities. I take pride in my patience and my understanding of the way some animals need more and some need less. I’m attentive in any way they need. Outside of having a good understanding of animals in general, I understand that they’re similar to children. We are who the animals look up to and having a safe and trusting environment for them to be in will always benefit the sitter and the animal. With that being said, any kind of safety or trust that is asked of me (or expected in general), I will go above and beyond to ensure. I am a hairstylist and I work part time in Stephen city Sunday through Wednesday. I have very short shifts so I can also be there for your animals before or after work. I am free Thursday to Saturday all day. I have a 90lb pit bull terrier mix in my home, I don’t have a fenced in yard. We walk him on a leash. I would never bring him with me to anyone’s home. As to having a safe and trustworthy environment I will treat your animals like my own. I’ve had my fur baby for almost 6 years from the rescue.


About: I grew up with the company of dogs. I have had 4 dogs in my childhood home. Raised them all from puppies until their senior age. I have taken care of city dogs and farm dogs. Feed them, walked them, and administered medicine. I currently work a full time job, so I am available in the early morning or in the evenings before or after work. Weekends I have an open availability. I will make sure to close all doors behind me and be aware of my surroundings for the my safety and the safety of the pets.

About: I am offering my help to those who need someone to feed/walk/check on their animals while they are away. I would be greatful for the opportunity. I am currently looking for a job right now so my schedule is open. I love all animals and want to be someone you can trust to take care of your pets while you areaway. I am not looking to board any animals. I would be more comfortable coming to your home to help with whatever animal care you may need.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, my parents thought it’d teach me responsibility, not only that but it taught me love as well : ) I currently have a lot of free time until school starts until fall, so l’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! Depending on what the the client has asked me to do, I would follow what they have asked. In my home I follow daily routines!

Julie B.
“Julie B. provides excellent dog walking and pet sitting to my 2 year old Doberman mix named Lexi. She personally has years of experience raising two dogs. Currently, she has a Pit bull and Boxer mix named Daisy that my dog gets along with. Julie loves and cares about animals, and that shows from how she treats Lexi and Daisy, but also as a biologist that protects sea turtles and sea life. So, I know my dog is in good hands while i’m away. After every walk, she reports on Lexi’s behavior and improvements she has made overtime. When she pet sits, Julie reports on what Lexi did throughout the day, and any funny behavior that she hasn’t seen Lexi do before. I haven’t had a problem with Julie, just positive experiences from her so I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.”
