About: I offer dog and cat sitting, drop-ins for dogs and cats, and dog walking. I have experience house-sitting for small to very large dogs, and have a natural ability to bond with almost any dog or cat. I have walked well behaved, leash trained dogs to very hard to manage leash beginners. I have also walked dogs ranging from teacup Chihuahua to Great Dane. I have experience with sick animals and managing and administering medications and monitoring symptoms. My experience includes administering medications to very scared, difficult dogs, as well as cats. I can identify unusual behaviors to report as needed. I also have experience with puppy deliveries, puppies, adult, and senior dogs with special needs. I love all animals and pride myself in taking the best care of every pet. I have 3 cats of my own I play with and care for daily, and I work part time so I have plenty of time for your pet! I unfortunately can’t board/sit pets at my house every day, however I have experience with indoor and outdoor pets with both fenced or non-fenced yards. I respect the environment that is most comfortable and familiar to the pet. I have an open schedule and am generally available anytime needed. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date with my availability. I try to keep pets in their normal and comfortable routines. I don’t want to disrupt, only to make things easier for the pets and owners. Everything will be discussed before any visit, and I will communicate regularly.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time, attention and companionship your dog will receive while in my care. I've spent more than 25 years around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I've trained several of my own. This experience helps me understand different personalities and adapt to each dog's unique needs. I work from home, so dogs in my care are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision throughout the day. To ensure every pet gets the attention they deserve, I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time. This allows me to provide a more personalized experience and helps each dog feel comfortable, safe and at home. Whether your dog loves to be active or prefers a quieter environment, I tailor their stay to fit their needs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, play time in the yard, and visiting the dog park for dogs that are social and enjoy that environment. My home is filled with love, attention, and plenty of opportunities for play, cuddles, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I'm already caring for my own dog. I am a stay at home mom, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day—not long hours alone. I have a dog of my own and make exercise and enrichment a priority, whether that's trips to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood, playtime in our fenced yard, or one-on-one activities tailored to your dog's personality and comfort level. Because I'm always home and have a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate a variety of drop-off and pick-up times. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. I like to care for every pet as if they were my own while making sure to follow their owner's routine and preferences as close as possible. I prioritize safety, affection and plenty of stimulation. I follow a normal 2x a day feeding schedule, provide regular potty breaks, daily exercise/playtime and a comfortable place to relax. I can also administer oral medication if needed. I pay close attention to each dog's personality and energy level so they feel comfortable and stress-free during their stay.
About: I’ve had the absolute pleasure looking after numerous dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pets unique needs. From high-energy pups to senior friends, I’ve provided attentive care, ensuring their comfort, exercise, and happiness. I currently work and attend school remotely with a flexible schedule to take care and play with your pups or cats. I’m available both weekdays and weekends. I live in a house and have the schedule to take your dog out on long walks or runs. There are many trails that I know of that I like to go to often. I am an avid runner and hiker who is always looking for an excuse to be outside. Let me know if your pet has any specific needs or behaviors to attend to. I am comfortable with any breed or size of pet.
About: I have taken care of all my friends and family's pets for as long as I can remember. I love dogs and cats!

I can do quick drop ins, long walks, overnight stays, whatever you need! I like to follow your pets routine. If they are used to morning walks and daily training I will happily do that!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 20 years. As a lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet in my care like part of the family. My goal is to give owners complete peace of mind while they are away by maintaining your dog's regular routine, providing plenty of playtime, and keeping you updated with frequent pictures and check-ins. As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine! I am home throughout the day, meaning boarders and daycare pets get constant supervision, love, and company. I handle morning and afternoon school runs for my older kids, but otherwise, my full focus is right here at home. I am easily available for mid-day check-ins, drop-in visits, flexible pick-ups/drop-offs, and plenty of backyard playtime. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where they are treated like family. We maintain a clean, pet-friendly setup with plenty of room to relax or play indoors and out. I follow your exact feeding, exercise, and care instructions to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet prefers active playtime or quiet lounging, I ensure a supervised, calm space and send regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.

I'm currently working from home so with that being said I have a lot of extra free time on my hands! I have a fenced yard and another dog that can keep your dog company!

About: I have been lucky to have experience with multiple breeds of animals almost all my life! I have been able to work at a vet office where I learned from vets and vet techs how to strengthen interactions and relationships with pets. I have been able to dog sit overnight with puppies, and large dogs including German Shepherds multiple times, as well as help raise 4 litters or new born puppies. At this time I am going to school part-time and looking for my next goal. I am available nights, and weekends, as well as weekdays. Of course my schedule might change depending on what I have to do, but I will ensure my availability is always up to date. I have two dogs that I take care of who are friendly and love having company. They are both trained as an inside and outside dog. I have a fenced front yard, as well as a fenced back yard to ensure the safety of them playing and going potty. I also have a dog run in my back yard for dogs staying at my home. For dogs that I take care of at the pet’s home, I am adaptable to what rules, schedules, and routines they follow daily.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, growing up with a variety of animals and learning the basics of pet care. However, at 18, my approach became much more serious when I adopted an 8 week old Great Pyrenees named Kodiak who had significant health, behavioral, and medical issues. This experience taught me a great deal about managing complex health challenges, addressing behavioral problems, and providing specialized care, which deepened my commitment to responsible pet ownership and caregiving. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and with Kodiak's ailments, I realized how difficult it can be to find high-quality pet sitters especially for pets requiring more assistance, patience, and time. I would love to provide reliable and trustworthy care to every and all pets, and if you have a dog who is a little more picky and high-maintenanced with who they allow in your home, then I would love to be the one to start building that trust with you and your pup. Thank you again for considering and trusting me to be part of your pups and your lives! Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. :) I am a part-time nanny so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule . I usually take my own dogs 1-2x daily for long walks and I would be happy to bring your pups along! For boarding - I have a fenced yard with neighbors who also have dogs so barking is not an issue or concern. We live close to several fenced off-leash dog parks and public parks to allow additional room for your pup to roam! I also have made walks a priority first thing in the mornings and evenings with our current 2 dogs. For walking/check-ups- I promise to follow direct instructions and orders you provide. I promise to reach out to you directly if I have any concerns or questions on specific care, restrictions, permissions, etc. rather than assuming. I will make informed, safe decisions on your pets care if I cannot get in touch with you.
About: I’m the girl who can walk into a home for the first time and have your pets cuddled up next to me within minutes - and I absolutely love it! With over a decade of professional experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve been trusted by families, neighbors, and friends to walk, feed, bathe, snuggle, and play with their furry loved ones. I bring lots of energy and affection to every visit, always making sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I naturally keep doors closed and locked, double-check collars and leashes before walks, and stay alert to my surroundings at all times. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and if anything ever seems off, I’ll reach out right away, prioritizing open communication. Click the link below to schedule within my availability - I’d love to meet your fur family! I work a varied schedule throughout the week anywhere from 4 hours to 8 hours (on the rare occasion). I provide extensive walk time / play time to pets I look after, and even more exercise time on the longer-shift days that I have to work. If there are requests for me to speak with my employer about leaving early for your pet, I am happy to discuss this! I always prioritize the safety of your animals by instinctually keeping the necessary doors closed/locked, checking colar/leash security before beginning walks, keeping your pet within my sight at all times, staying aware of surroundings and in control of your pet responsibly.

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

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
