About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had a variety of all animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, etc for as long as I can remember. I’ve had exposure to animals of all age ranges. In the past, I have had senior dogs who have had seizure disorders and provided comfort care for them until the end including medications, pain management and helping them through challenging moments from their medical conditions. My focus and goal being apart of your pets care is to provide them a safe, comfortable, friendly environment while under my care and also just having fun! I have had dogs that I have worked with on behavioral modification training, leash training, potty training, etc. Although I am not a certified trainer, I have had exposure to reward and positive reinforcement training and have worked on this closely with a trainer and my own animals and have seen the benefits. I am looking forward to being a positive impact on your sanity and your pets care! I currently am out of work and expecting a little one! With all of my free time, I’d love to put it towards doing something I love and enjoy, spending it with animals! In my clients home, I would ensure that all pets needs are met with food, water, stimulation with play, etc. For safety I would leash the pet before opening the door for a walk and ensuring the pet is tamed and not too excitable walking out the door to avoid any accidents. I would utilize any tools the owner provided such as crates, gates, etc while caring for the pet. For care in my home, I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs, 2 cats. I would slowly introduce them to each other and have gates available along with 3 different floors in my home to separate if need be. I have crates available if needed to give space. I am always home and would never need to leave your pet alone! I have plenty of toys and treats ready to go!

I am working towards earning my vet-tech certification. I am very flexible willing to work with you and your dog. I am always willing to go above and beyond for your pet.

About: Hello ! My name is Amanda and I have been around dogs my entire life. I’ve recently moved into a new house and am looking to get back into helping you and your pets ! I have never known what it is like to live in a house without at least one dog and I don't think I ever will. I started pet sitting for family and friends about 8 years ago and haven't looked back. I have experience with all different breeds ranging from Huskies to Chihuahuas. I also have experience with there being more than one dog in the house so that is no problem. I currently have two dogs, Leo and Koda. Leo is a 11 year old Terrier/Toy Collie mix and Koda is a 8 year old Catahoula mix. I recently added an addition to the family and now have a 1 year old cat named Sushi as well! I a have experience with other animals such as birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc., so I can gladly help out with anything along those lines as well. I would love to help you and your furry friends out ! I can also provide references upon request :) I currently work remotely full time so I am home all week. I am also able to leave periodically during the morning and afternoon for walks and can work remotely from anywhere if house sitting is required. I have a very flexible schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My cat also thinks he’s a dog and is very friendly and social. I also have lots of space if your animal needs to be crated at any point.
About: I’ve grown up around many animals helping pet sit some growing up. Currently in school for veterinary technician hoping to use my knowledge for you & your pets needs!! I’m currently working part time hoping to become a full time sitter to pay for college :)) I have open availability to accommodate to your schedule! I have patience & understand how complicated each & every animal may be. I know how to restrain & help calm animals down if needed.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets since I was a teenager. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, birds, hamsters, puppies and kittens. Experience with aging pets as well, administering meds. All through my life I've always had dogs and cats, I'm a true animal lover! I'm available any day of the week, to walk, feed, or just sit with your fur babies. I also take care of cats and other pets you may have. My yard is semi fenced, plenty of room to run. I currently have 1 dog and 4 cats. If cat watching I have a separate room for your kitty to be away from curious cats.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I am able to medicate pets and give them what ever special diets they may need I also know different things to watch for due to working at a veterinary office. I can make sure they get a lot of outdoor exercise due to my large fenced in back yard, lots of cuddles and if needed one on one attention. My husband who is also an animal lover will be here to help take care of your pet. And if weather permits and we are able we often take our dogs out for walks on pet friendly trails to give them a change of scenery. I do have some requirements to make sure all pets visiting and staying with us are kept safe and healthy. I do not take aggressive dogs, and I do require that all dogs are up to date on Rabies vaccine, distemper and bordetella, for their safety and health as well as other pets that are coming into the house. I want you to be well assured that while your pet is staying with me that they will be well taken care of and treated like a family member. Looking forward to seeing you and your pets I do currently work full time but they are not normal full time hours, so I am able to be home with the pet a lot. And when I do work my 2 full days I’m home at lunch since I’m only 5 mile from work. And my husband is home about 1 1/2 to 2 hours after I go back to work.. We are basically home bodies and enjoying spend time with with our pets and what ever pets we are watching. I have a large fenced yard and 2 large dogs to keep your fur babies company. Pets are aloud on the couch as well as our bed. I do have gates in the house in case we need to separate pets or during feed times or just in general. If needed we can crate as well. Pets are not allowed out front unless leashed. I do require documentation of updated Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccines.
About: I do it all. I walk/run with dogs of all sizes. I'm not worried about getting dirty. If your dog gets dirty, bath time is my favorite. Clean up all messes including in your own yard. I tuck dogs in for bedtime. I will bring your dog to his/her vet appointments if need be. I love to cuddle no matter the breed as long as your dog likes it too. I have experience with "troublesome" dogs and might even be able to provide some tips that have helped me in my experience. If you have other pets I will care for them too. I have experience with cats, birds, tarantulas, turtles, fish, lizards, rabbits, chickens, horses, and small rodents. Most importantly, I will contact you upon every arrival and departure with details on the visit.
About: I’ve been working as a veterinary technician for 5 years now. I am comfortable giving any type of medication. I have 6 pets of my own, 3 dogs and 3 cats. I have lots of puppy experience! I’m working part time right now. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and sometimes Friday or Saturday morning. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My dogs are all crate trained and leash walked outside to go potty. My puppy is only 4 pounds so she goes potty on puppy pads. I will follow whatever routine is established for your pet!
About: I’m currently working as a CSR at cape vet hospital! I’ve grown up my whole life around dogs! I have my own and love them so much! I’m active and really good with pets, I’ve work in trusted environments before including child care! I’m currently working some hours at Cape vet hospital but on my time off I’ll be more than happy to come meet some pups! I’m completely free on Sundays! I live with four pets one being my own! I’ve grown up around hunting dogs my whole life, helping with liters of puppies and caring for them as well. As a young girl I wanted to be a vet even! I’m good with training and walking. If my pet was to come along she’s super nice and loves everyone and everything. If anything’s she a shy little thing haha!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had extremely large pets and the daintiest little animals. I am always the person at parties petting whatever animal I can get my hands on. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for a long time and I am always happy to do so. Feeding, walking, play time, and enrichment are all things I love to do and do regularly with my dog. My schedule is pretty open except for the occasional doctors appointment and caring for my dad. I tend to be able to work around any conflicts to help better serve others. I treat all pets as if they’re my own. Safe walks, making sure the ground isn’t too hot, hydration, and some kind of stimulation makes a happy pup. If it is too hot for walking, and depending on what you’re comfortable with, either a walk indoors at a dog friendly store or enrichment in the home, or just playtime on grass can be offered.
About: I love all animals so much! I treat them all like they are my own. I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, from elderly dogs, to birds, and horses! I owned a Pet Sitting business for many years, but moved states once I got married. Me and my husband are homesteaders. He works from home, and we both tend our ducks and garden. We are hoping to have a farm stand this next summer! I love working hard and all animals! We have a very big fenced in back yard where your babe can run free and we can play! We are outside all the time with our animals and garden.

Destiny T.
“I would recommend Destiny because she is an animal lover and owns 4 dogs and 2 cats not to mention all the volunteering at Funny Farm Rescue and donating supplies to local animal shelters in need! You will see Destiny naturally connects with people and animals with her honest pure giggly warm personality! Destiny is also trained in certain commands to help dogs react in a calmer more positive way and will recommend certain collars or tools to make your life a lot easier when dealing with young higher energy dogs that may have never had any training.”

“Cameron is kind and considerate, and is able to handle all of our pets. We have a special routine for feeding our excitable Labs which he has handled with no problem.

Amanda J.
“I work 9-5 everyday and it's such a convenience to have someone around that can pop in at my house and let my 6 month old catahoula leopard dog, Koda out. It gives me the piece of mind knowing he isn't locked up all day. Koda, takes a little bit of time to warm up to people, but Amanda was able to break down that barrier quicker than most. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Also, her dependability is really appreciated on my end. I'll continue to use her services as long as I can! ”

Toni W.
“Toni would be an awesome dog sitter and a great addition to your company. Most of us know that when we have to leave our pets to go on a trip it's very stressful; a lot of worrying involved. I have known Toni forever and can attest that she has a gift with dogs which puts people at ease. When dogs see her the tails start wagging or they get the wiggle butts. She has always taken exceptional care of her own dogs & cats and because of that people seek her out to critter sit including myself. Toni is reliable and extremely detail oriented so if a dog needs special care or they have a certain schedule she will make sure to follow through. Toni has a great personality, she's easy to get along with and will work very hard to do the job right.”

Alyssa G.
“Alyssa lives her life to help and care for animals. She is a surgical vet tech, she is about to start school in this field and has many pets of her own. She has 3 dogs, 3 cats and is currently fostering 4 sick kittens and nursing them back to health. She can care for anything with 4 legs. To say animals are her passion is an understatement. If I wanted and trusted anyone to care for my animals, it would be Alyssa!”
Lindsey S.
“I have been friends with Lindsey for many years now, and I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who loves animals more than she does. Lindsey is a "dog mom" to Lilly, and she is so loved, cared for, and spoiled! Every time I go over to her house and see Lilly she is always well fed, kept, and groomed. Lindsey is amazing with animals, and provides them with so much love.”
