About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)

About: I have never lived without pets around me. With two dogs, 2 cats, and a rabbit as my loves, I’m used to caring and keeping our furry family safe and happy! I am the friend that would be called when someone had to go on vacation, and the family member who has no problem staying home with the pets too. I have had small to big dogs. Small cats and fat ones. Young and old. Each one very loved by me and I want to share that dedication with you and your pet- ❤️ I have experience with giving pets medications, helping puppies with routines, and being gentle with seniors and those with disabilities. I’m ready to meet you and your furry family! I currently am a student getting their BA in Biology, and to fund this education I have no problem helping others out by watching your pets! I have a set schedule of my classes and I have gaps or days where I am free and glad to make time. I am flexible. Visiting your home I will be respectful always and abide by any rules you may have in place (shoes off at the door for example haha!). I will also always keep your pet(s) in sight and be sure to watch and keep them out of trouble- or give them some company and play time as they wait for you! I will gladly give update photos and or calls if you request. Please don’t hesitate to ask because I am glad to keep you comforted that your pet(s) are safe and sound. Before I leave I will make sure your pet is put away properly (by your request) and/or check the environment in case I notice any possible hazards before I leave (no leaving the treats out ;) ).

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

About: Hi, my name is Alex! I’m 22 years old and love animals. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have an 8-year-old Jack Russell named Bella, who is my best friend. I know how important it is to find trustworthy, caring pet care when you’re away or busy, and that’s exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pet. I work a hybrid job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time throughout the day for dog walks and provide reliable, attentive care when pet sitting. I prioritize safety, comfort, and attention for every pet I care for. While visiting your home or walking your dog, I follow your instructions, keep your pets safe and supervised at all times, and create a loving, trusting environment.

About: Ever since I was young I had pets in my household like Dogs, cats, fish, and even rodents ! I would also pet sit for my neighbors and family friends any chance I could get because I love being involved with animals. I recently graduated college and my schedule is super flexible so I have a lot of time to myself and I hope to spend some of that time helping people care for their pets ! I take care of pets in clients' homes by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep their environment safe and provide toys to keep them entertained. I also keep the space clean and share updates with the client about their pet's behavior. My main goal is to make sure their pets feel happy and comfortable while they're away.

About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a teenager, and over the years it has grown from a personal passion into something I truly love doing for others. From daily walks with my own dogs, to providing reliable pet-sitting for family, and caring for friends’ cats while they’re away, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are well cared for and happy! *MIDDAY HOURS ONLY AVAILABLE WEEKENDS* I'm currently working full-time at an elementary school until 3:30 pm, so I will have plenty of time to care for and hang out with your furry family members in the early evenings before you come home from work or any time during the day on the weekends! When I care for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets on their regular schedule and in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter changes or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and of course lots of affection. I also make sure homes are left neat and secure, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

There are no words! A complete and total angel sent from heaven. I was caught where I had to be at a family event and my dog was in need of extra TLC. I couldn’t have received any better care for my little one! Everything was handled PERFECTLY and with such love, care and dedication. Answered every question instantly and did EVERYTHING possible to comfort both of us. Above and beyond and exactly what every animal should have when their parents need some help.
