About: I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs ever since I was 15! Pet sitting is one of my favorite things to do! I currently have a 9 year old boxer and an 18 year old peekapoo so I have truly seen dogs at every age and stage haha! I have a special soft spot for senior dogs though, especially since the one I have means the world to me! I currently am a student part time and work part time, and have plenty of time during the day before I head to work or class to watch or walk your pups! I have a lot of practice being able to crate bigger dogs, and am usually pretty aware of dogs and their triggers. I always want them to be happy and healthy!

About: I am a dog-obsessed veterinary assistant student with two years of professional pet care experience from working at pet daycares. I have received extensive training on caring for dogs with all different types of personalities. I have also been blessed with many wonderful family dogs growing up and now have two very spoiled fur babies of my own. I currently work full-time at a pet daycare and work on my schooling on Tuesday-Saturday, but I am available any time on Sundays and Mondays. I’d love nothing more than giving your precious pet all of my attention and care. I enjoy long walks and taking time to explore the outdoors but with a furry companion by my side. I’m very capable of accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Every dog is unique and sometimes needs a little extra patience and understanding.

I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!

About: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! I currently work from home full time! Which is good news for you because that means I can periodically check up on your furry friend through out the day or if need be I can pack up and work from your house! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Monday- Friday. I also am open to weekend activities! Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.

About: What sets me apart is how attentive and intentional I am with every pet I care for. I don’t just “watch” animals, I really take time to understand their personality, energy level, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs in all stages of life, including helping raise puppies where I stayed consistent with feeding schedules, potty breaks, and creating a calm routine. I’m very patient, which helps a lot with younger dogs who are still learning, and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training like leash manners and simple commands. I also understand that some dogs need a gentler approach, especially senior dogs or those who may be anxious. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, and I always prioritize safety and comfort. What really matters to me is building trust, not just with the pet, but with you as the owner. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and visits, especially during mornings, afternoons, and evenings when pets need the most attention. I already build time into my routine for being active and outdoors, so dog walking feels like a natural part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. I’m also consistent with scheduling, which means I can stick to feeding times, potty breaks, and routines that pets are used to. On a weekly level, I keep my schedule organized so I don’t overbook, allowing me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays and can often accommodate weekends as well. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions so the pet feels secure in their own environment. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and calm.

About: I have had pets in my home since I was 5 years old and love caring for animals of every kind! For the past 5 years, I have extended my love for animals to my neighbors and friends. When they left town, they entrusted me to care for their plants, animals, and houses. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and cows! I am an engineering student and have class for most of the day. I have plenty of breaks between classes where I would have time to check on your pet (except Thursdays) and I am usually free at night. I cannot provide pet care in my own home, but I am flexible and a good learner, and I will communicate with you to ensure that your pets are taken care of the way you want them to be in your own home.

About: I grew up with pets my whole life. My family and friends have relied on me walk, feed, and house/dog sit when they are unavailable. My dog MJ, who passed in 2020, made one of the biggest impacts in my life, and if I can give more care and love to animals it would be very fulfilling. I am comfortable around pets of all ages, and will cater to each animals needs. It is always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! My job is mostly remote and I do make my own schedule. So I will be able to easily cater to your pet care needs. I will respect your pets boundaries and cater to their needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved. All pets are different, and require different ways of caring for.

About: I have taken care of my own personal animals for about 6 years now (hence the years of experience), but I have also taken care of many other animals before living on my own! I have had experience giving diabetes medication to cats before (injection). I also have experience giving pills, ointments, and eye drops! I currently only have classes from 9:30am to 12:15pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. All other days I am completely free and available. I only ever go to college part-time so I have a lot of free time! I cannot house any pets unfortunately at my place, however I can make as many visits or keep as much company with your fur babies as needed!

About: My family has more than 20 years of pet care experience. We have also searched for boarding houses, so I know what pet parents want. A clean boarding house is good for the health of pets, and I clean and disinfect my house every day. My home is close to the park. We take them to the park every day. Exercise is good for the health of pets. I am a graphic designer and usually work at home, so I have more time for pet care. My daughter is a student right now at high school and after school, she can take them on a walk, so we have plenty of time to take care of them. I have a 6-foot fenced yard, also a whole basement for them. They can roam freely in the house, no smoking, and no little kids. I will check them every 2 hours to see if they need anything.

She is easy to work with and shows up when she agrees to. My dog is happy to see her when she arrives and is so much calmer after a good walk with Kristin. This has been so helpful after back surgery. My pup is very customer.

About: Hi there! My name is Aly and my full time job is remote in higher education/non profit. I'm originally from Nebraska and I have just moved back after living in South Carolina for the last few years. I have always grown up with pets and helping my family take care of dogs and small animals. I have 3 very spoiled pets of my own, 1 cats Baker & Bo and my dog Bernie. I have been in your shoes before and needed to find a pet sitter and I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I promise to put your nerves at ease by treating your pets like I do my own! I would love to get the opportunity to know more about you and your furbaby/furbabies! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any additional questions! I work remotely from 7am-4pm or 8pm-5pm Monday-Friday. During the weekdays I'm able to fit in taking care of your pet in the mornings, during my lunch break or in the evenings. Weekends I am available anytime that you need. I pride myself on being accomodating to fit the needs of the pet and expectations of the owners. My goal is to be able provide the pet with their usual daily routine as much as possible. I do not take dogs off leash unless in a fenced yard (either my own or the owners).
