They were a godsend for my golden Hudson., he loved his walks, even though it was quite hot and even enjoyed playing ball. Thank you.

“I was in a pinch and Lori helped me out tremendously. Highly recommend her. She sent me pictures of my pups and communicated highlights of her visit. I appreciate her willingness change her schedule on short notice!”


About: I have had cats and dogs almost all my life. There were 4 or 5 years where I did not have a pet and I missed it. I now have 4 cats who are all rescues. All under the age of 3.5 yrs old. I have often been asked by friends and family to watch their pets while they were away. I also spent a year at a dog boarding facility. My duties included the basics like feeding and walking dogs and even some light grooming, and there were even some overnight stays. There were times there might be 40 dogs to help care for. All sizes, breeds and ages. I work full time Monday to Friday so I will mostly be available on weekends. I could fit in Friday evenings as well. At least for now. I may add to that later on. For my cats, they are strictly indoor. When my son visits, I have a fenced in yard for his dog to run freely in. Our cats have their own water fountain and a dry food dispenser. They get wet food twice a day. They visit the vet as needed. Otherwise we just try to make sure they have a safe environment to thrive in. As for a client's pet, I will follow all instructions per the pet owner. Let me know if there are things I should be aware of while I care for your pet.

About: I have been surrounded by pets since childhood, dogs, cats, rabbits, and pet birds. I am friendly and ready for such adventures. I think the best thing in the world is animals I work part time, so would be happy to take your pet to me on certain days. I don't have a pet at the moment, but I really want to get an Italian greyhound, which I have been dreaming about for about 5 years, I think the finances from this case will go towards getting a dog I have a private large house, not fenced, but have a special enclosure for the dog that gives shade, also have air conditioning in the house, will be comfortable. No other animals live with me

About: I've taken care of and owned a few dogs and cats of all different breeds from pit bulls to Siamese cats. I've also had multiple reptiles over the years as well as small animals such as rats, hamsters and Guinea pigs so I'm ok with all sorts of animals! I currently am free full time to care for your fur babies, day or night, I'll be there! All my work is from work or me going where I got to go. I clean out the necessary litter boxes, food and water bowls and refill everything up. I clean the areas where all of that is that and then i play with the babies for the remaining time.

About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!

About: I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, etc., my entire life. My work experience includes time at pet boarding and daycare facilities in both management and other capacities. I am currently openly available, but will remain as flexible as possible if or when that changes. I understand and appreciate the care needs of fur babies demand. I have two dog friendly pups of my own, but do not currently plan to offer boarding services. I will be by myself while administering my services in your home to your pets.

“Brenda was amazing with our pups! She jogged with our younger one, which can be a challenge but she was clearly up to it! Our older girl, she tried to walk her but she's not usually up for leaving the driveway when her routine is disrupted ?. Brenda is a great communicator, very punctual and clearly loves her job. Will 100% use Brenda next time we need a hand.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, my parents being so impressed by how attentive and loving I was with my first dog they allowed me a second and it kept increasing from there. I now have two dogs a German shepherd and a Aussiedoodle, they love company and have never shown any signs of aggression at home or at dog parks. I’ve trained my dogs everything they know and I take pride in them being good girls. I recently stopped working to focus on training my 1 year old Aussiedoodle, therefore leaving me with more than enough time to spend with your furry member(s) of the family. I have 2 acres of unfenced land behind the house for the dogs to run around in, I will not allow your dog to roam around without leash to protect against your dog running off etc

About: i’ve taken care of pets since i was child. a family friend relied on me to bathe, feed, and walk their dog whenever they needed. i’m currently unemployed so i have plenty of time for your babies! i’m available for walks and potty breaks wednesday through sunday after 11 am i have a fence around my house but i take my grandmas dog on leashed walks around the yard almost daily! i make sure my cat is well exercised and i groom her weekly

About: I offer pet sitting and walking for all breeds and sizes and energy levels. My previous pet care experience includes pet store, professional pet boarding, bathing and daycare, and several years offering pet/house sitting for out of town friends, relatives and co-workers. I share my home with 3 dogs and 3 mini pigs. I am currently employed at a dog rescue, and am an active volunteer with our local wildlife rescue, and am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. While I will never pass up an opportunity to play with a puppy, I have a soft spot for senior and special needs dogs. I can administer medication if needed as well. I also provide sitting services for other species, so if your pup has a cat, bunny or reptile sibling that won't be a problem.

About: I love animals! I have worked with dogs for many years at dog shelters and watching my neighbors dogs when I was younger! I am a reliable, trustworthy, and a dog mom myself! My goal is to make your fur baby feel at home when away from home and provide the best care when you are away so you can be worry free, your fur baby will be in good hands with me! I do work a full time job at a dental office but I am off by 3 most days and don’t work Fridays to accommodate weekend travelers when you can’t travel with the furry babies! I am a very outdoors type of person and will take your dog with me on long walks to get energy out or we can cuddle on the couch if they prefer that too! My home is there home and they are allowed in all furniture🐶 I live in an apartment but there is a huge open yard area and gated dog park for the dogs to run around at. I have a pet camera so if your pet is left alone for an hour or two they will be monitored through the camera! My dog will always be separate from yours when no one is home to ensure safety! I will always feed dogs separate as well!

About: Starting off with fostering animals when I was 18, I have helped care for all types of pets, of all ages and all needs. My first pet based job was at a Banfield Pet Hospital, which I worked at for 8 years before transferring to a VCA closer to my home. I was in the Penn Foster Veterinary Technician program and was the Lead Surgical Assistant at VCA, with additional tasks such as training new hires, injections, suture removal, medicated baths, etc. I started my own business called Snoot Boop Pet Care LLC in August 2024. From snakes and tarantulas, to rabbits and birds, I care for them all! At the moment I am a stay at home mom of one beautiful toddler girl. My husband is also work-from-home, which is what allows me to take on jobs like these! Due to the amount of fur-babies I have, I do not board at my home. I can do drop in visits of up to 1 hour at a time, walks, litter/diaper changes, medication administration, check the mail, and even water your plants. For day care, I would need to be at your home so your pet is as comfortable as possible. We would play, have plenty of potty breaks (dogs) feed and/or medicate as required. If the pet requires medicated baths, that is also something I can do for you.

About: I have worked at various doggy daycares over the past 5 years, where I monitored and handled up to 150 dogs at once. I bathed dogs, trimmed their nails, fed them, cared for injuries and sicknesses, walked them, played with them, trained them, and medicated them every day, and have firsthand experience breaking up fights. I have over a year’s worth of management experience, which meant making decisions catered to each dogs’ needs everyday. I have a wide range of knowledge on dogs and dog breeds. I have pet sitting experience, which includes cats, and I have also worked at an aquarium and with non releasable birds of prey. I have a wide range of experience, from exotics, birds, reptiles, rodents, and even to marsupials. I spent 4 years studying ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, so I have a general biology background as well. I am doing school online, so I have plenty of time to fill with furry, scaly, and feathery friends! I am used to early mornings and the time that goes into animal care. I have a fenced yard at home for my two dogs to run around and play in. I love enrichment, training, cuddling, foraging tasks, smelling games, fetch, etc. for all dogs and animals. All animals deserve an enriching environment full of a lot of variety, play, and healthy challenges. They deserve adventures, love, and genuine, heartfelt connection and care with other animals and with their humans. I will let those principles reflect in my work for your furry friend!
