About: I grew up taking care of pets and showed my poodle in 4H giving me hands-on training experience. I love dog walking for extended time, and sitting your fur baby’s overnight! I currently work for the post office as a real carrier and my schedule is varying every week, mostly part-time so I can be accessible for afternoon, evenings and overnight I’m happy to drive the distance to your home to provide walking or outside play with your pet. Potty breaks while you’re away at work or overnight sitting while you’re on vacation is my thing too!
“Hope did great with the dogs. She was here almost all of the time and made sure they had plenty of potty breaks and play time. Our dogs are both 75 lbs and thing they are lap dogs she embraced this.”

Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

“Darrin was great! He was communicative, sent photos, and was very easy to work with. He stayed at our home and took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which had activity restrictions due to surgery. It was our first time having someone house sit and we felt very comfortable with him!”

About: Hello! I’m Olivia. What sets me apart from other caretakers is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve lived with pets my entire life and also worked as an animal caretaker in my hometown, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from large dogs like Rottweilers and Bernese Mountain Dogs, to energetic Australian Shepherds, to small breeds like teacup Schnauzers, as well as cats. I enjoy working with pets of all ages, whether that means helping with the extra care senior pets need or providing the patience and energy for puppies. I also provide discounted bathing. As a student with open availability, I’m flexible and able to dedicate plenty of time to the pets I care for. I also welcome pets into my home, providing a safe and loving environment. Above all, I truly love taking care of all creatures, human or not, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have open availability for pet caretaking, which means I’m flexible and able to accommodate different schedules. As a student, I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s during the day, evenings, or weekends. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, play, and any special instructions from their owner. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most at home, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a cozy spot to rest, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect while keeping the pet’s comfort and safety my top priority. I maintain their normal routine so they feel secure, and I provide companionship, exercise, and care just as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or extra cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need.
About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.
