About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

Debbie did a “Greyt” job caring for our Greyhounds. We had a very unexpected lightning strike at our home and she handled the entire event without skipping a beat! Even without TV or internet she amused herself and our fur babies. We will definitely be using Debbie again. Ps, she was also very respectful of our property and even asked permission for her Husband to join her for dinner She definitely left the house in better shape than she found it! Thx Debbie

Kayla was great! Communication was awesome, she was always so quick to respond! She kept me so updated on my boys, and I felt very confident having her there with them! This was our first time ever leaving our dogs, so I was a nervous wreck, and Kayla quickly made me feel comfortable and I was able to actually enjoy my time away from home! I will absolutely be booking again when I'm away again. ❤️

About: I love animals as much as I love my family. I’ve had pets my whole life, and cared for more than Ive owned. I also volunteered at the wildlife rescue for over 5 years. I have experience with sick and injured pets as well. Giving medicine orally and injections, including giving fluids with an IV and insulin shots. Several of my pets have lived to be 20, so I also have plenty of experience with the sweet old babes. My dog is also terrified of any loud noises and car rides, he has bad anxiety. So he gets medicine for it when he needs it. Sometimes he releases his anal glands, so then needs a bath (so much fun 🤢) I’m Autistic (formerly called Aspergers), have OCD and ADHD. So I REALLY clean up after your pets!! 😆 I also have experience with house plants and can care for your plants as well! I don’t work a full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a homebody, so I don’t have a busy schedule either. I try to give your pets the calmest and happiest experience while you’re not home. My goal is to help them forget you’re gone, by following the same routine they are used to and giving them all the love, attention and playtime they need. I’m also judgement free and will follow your house rules, religious or otherwise. I will always treat your pets and home with respect.

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

Eric was fantastic! Moose and mittens loved him. He messaged everyday with pictures to make sure we knew our babies were taken care of. Very nice and personable and trustworthy. Thank you so much Eric! We will definitely be using him if he’s available for our next trip!

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both small and large breeds. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix and a Cane Corso/Boxer mix, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with very different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs and horses, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to read animal behavior from an early age. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, exercise, playtime, basic training reinforcement, administering lots of love and attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make it a priority to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. During the week, I’m available for evening walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and nighttime check-ins after work. My weekends are much more flexible, which allows me to provide more availability for pet sitting, extended visits, walks, and additional care as needed. I always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and accommodating to both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make safety and comfort my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before and after walks or outdoor time. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and environment to help prevent accidents, stress, or unsafe situations. I also keep communication open by providing updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away. Because I have experience with both small and large breeds, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and adapting care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Amanda listened carefully to what we discussed concerning our dogs. This made me feel confident for her to watch them. She sent pictures and answered phone and text each time I reached out to her. When we got back our two dogs didn’t act like they had missed us terribly which to me is the best sign of all that Amanda did a great job while in our home. Also, she was very respectful of our home and property.

About: ​Caring for others is my life’s work. With years of experience as a premium caregiver for seniors and special education clients, I understand that every individual—human or animal—has unique needs and a unique personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own, combining my professional caregiving skills with a deep, lifelong love for animals. I’m here to provide a calm, nurturing, and reliable environment for your pets so you can have total peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently self-employed and also a nursing student. My academic program does not resume until September, so I have ample availability and flexibility to reliably care for your animals during that time. I care for each pet according to its individual needs. I ask that owners provide standard care instructions as a baseline; beyond that, I am attentive and flexible and will address any additional needs as they arise.
