About: I’ve had the joy of caring for many animals over the years, and taking care of them has always come naturally to me. I’m comfortable giving medications, whether that means hiding a pill in a little cheese or a piece of hot dog, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to a dog. More than anything, I simply love animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and special needs. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I would treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and affection that I give my own. At the end of the day, I just want to help animals enjoy their lives and make sure their owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in loving hands. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting fits wonderfully into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a dog of my own who is very much part of our family, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. ❤️ With my husband going through cancer treatment, Rover also gives me a chance to get out of the house, do something I genuinely enjoy, and share some extra love with other people’s pets. It makes me happy knowing I can help someone while giving their furry family member the attention, companionship, and love they deserve. 🐾❤️ I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will take good care of your animal as if it was my own. That’s just the way I feel and I hope that I could give you the greatest experience, taking care of your animal.
“Rachel is a godsend. I've worked a few all day shifts and it's so nice to know my dog has a good long walk in the middle of the day. Rachel has always been flexible with my schedule and always seems to get a good picture of my boy.”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for my whole life. I often took care of neighbors animals when they would go out of town and always enjoyed it! Can’t wait to walk some dogs and cuddle some cats I am working part time and only work a few hours a week so I will have plenty of time to walk dogs or take care of animals! I am totally willing to do whatever needed for your animals! I am great at following directions and loving animals like they are my own!
About: They say to do what you love and make a career out of it. I’m just grateful my career gets to be with dogs. I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility in the area, so I am certified with dog and cat behaviors and have seen the ups and downs of our fur babies, and I am still standing here happy to tell you all about their stay/session. I have also grown up with working farm dogs and have gone on to own a Great Pyrenees who isn’t quite a working dog but sure does “work” like one. Thank you for reading through my short history and I am super excited to update this with my accomplishments to come! Pet care for me starts at dawn lol My pups come for cuddles and a potty break first sight of my eyes opening. Most of the time this does align with my schedule in the 6 am timeframe. Our family does always thankfully have one person home at all times, so while kennels are still utilized in our home for various situations, your pups can expect to stay in a home environment while here :) While I personally do not have a yard, my family does own large pasture fields and hills that we will typically walk daily. These colder seasons do affect how often we go out due to the snow and unplowed hills. However in that safe weather we make it a main priority to keep active with our pups to maintain a healthy and long life for them. Safety is priority number one. Thankfully my family is pretty much set up for success here. We are knowledgeable for food, behavior, and play safety with dogs and cats. Signs and symptoms of common issues with dogs and cats, based off personal experiences, and possible fears of what ifs, urinary cat blockages and bloat, or bloody stools. And while I understand dog body language and know how to avoid those tense situations dogs can create, I am incredibly quick to say when we are going to the emergency vet, gosh forbid.
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and got my own fur baby 5 years ago! I have had experience watching dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies for friends and family. My experience has ranged from feeding, playing, cleaning up after them. I love to take them on walks and give them all the attention they desire :) I am working part time at two different jobs but my schedule can be very flexible. I love furry friends and will make time for them. The animals safety and proper care are very important to me! I take priority in making sure their needs are met and are safe. I will make sure to keep an eye on them outside and take the proper precautions when doing so
“We booked Kim while we were on vacation to walk our dog at our sitter home. Kim was very Flexible and we were happy with her services. Would highly recommend and will book again for future needs.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Ive dealt with multiple dogs at once, all with different personalities. From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone. It is all about respect and I respect your home also respect your home, treating your space the same way I’d want mine treated.
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed them and play with them. I am a physical education teacher that has the summers off and is looking to take care of your pet while you are ate work or on vacation. I enjoy getting your pet the exercise it needs and help them be comfortable around other people. I am a dog sitter/dog walker that puts safety as a priority when taking care of your pet. I always move a cross the street if I see another dog coming towards me if your pet is not good with other dogs. I always watch for cars when I am cross the street to keep your help safe.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.
