About: Please note: We prefer hypoallergenic dogs since I have a son that's a little allergic, but we're willing to meet your dog and see how he does. He's fine with some dogs so we haven't figured it out. My family and I love dogs. They're therapeutic and we LOVE to snuggle them and play with them. I’ve had many years of experience with dogs. I've taken care of senior dogs and a dog with special needs, I've taken care of puppies, I've taken care of a female dog in heat and I've had up to 6 dogs at my house before for a dog play date. I've raised two puppies in my lifetime and I've had several different dogs, most of them were rescue dogs from the shelter. I've gone to people's homes to house sit and watch their dogs or to just let their dogs out, I've walked peoples dogs and I've met several different kinds of dogs when we take our dog to the dog park. I love them all and so does my dog Milo! I'm a stay at home mom so I am home often and will be available for your dog as much as I can. I can play with your dog(s), snuggle them, feed them, walk them and love them. I do prefer dogs that don't bark a whole lot, since I have a baby that still naps. I have a fenced backyard and I have a friendly dog that will welcome and play with your dog. Assuming your dog is house trained, I'm happy to have them in my home but if it's good weather, I do put them outside often during the day. If your dog likes to run off, please make sure you let me know so we can be extra careful. Although I have a son that's learning to keep the front door shut so dogs won't run out and a toddler who is curious and pulls at dogs hair sometimes, I will try everything in my power to keep your dog safe and feeling comfortable and loved!
About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 7 years old. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from a 6 week old puppy too a 15 year old senior. We’ve cared for many breeds. I am a stay at home mom with a 10 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. I have plenty of free time to care for, walk, and play with your dog(s). I have a loving pit bull who is a gentle giant and two cats. I have a large fenced yard. My home is very small but we make do. I also have two children who love animals. We have a black house cat and a white Maine Coon. I am a firm believer that you should care for your animals the way you care for your children. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your your furry four legged baby(s). And my kids will play fetch with them for hours on end.

“Monica is absolutely amazing! She took great amazing care of my two beautiful dogs, sent me pictures and kept me updated :) I will definitely keep her as my dog sitter! :)”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I'm excited to take care of your furry family. I've trained horses and I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and kind. I work at nights at an arcade but I'm able to walk your pets, or drop by all hours of the day. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and loved 😋🩷 I have an open house, large back yard and a sizable built in kennel off to the side of the house. I'll be able to take care of all your pets needs and we'll have lots of fun together
About: I’ve been caring for pets—both dogs and cats—since I was a kid, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had my own dogs for nearly 20 years, giving me firsthand experience with daily care, routines, and the love and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’ve also owned a cat for many years, so I understand the unique personalities and care cats require as well. Because of this lifelong experience, I’m comfortable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of my own family. I’m home full time, which means your pets will have consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to keep a close eye on their routines, make sure they’re fed on schedule, let dogs out regularly, and give plenty of playtime, cuddles, and reassurance. Because I’m always home, pets aren’t left alone for long stretches, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives pets plenty of safe space to run, explore, and burn off energy. With kids and a friendly dog at home, there’s always someone ready to play, throw a ball, or provide companionship, making it a fun and engaging environment for visiting pets. All play is supervised to ensure everyone stays safe and happy, so your pet gets both exercise and social interaction in a loving, family-style setting.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. Whether it was my own dogs, or dog sitting I’ve always loved to have dogs around! I have my own business and so I am very flexible and able to watch the animals and keep them on the schedule they have at home typically. I can easily crate your dog if needed. But if your dog is more comfortable sleeping in bed then I love all the puppy snuggles!
“Gayle was amazing with my dog! My dog gets nervous around new people, but Gayle came in and did such a great job! Sent me communications and pictures. I will definitely keep using her to help watch my pup 🥰”

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience owning, training, and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including seniors and high-energy breeds. From a young age, I began regularly walking, training, and caring for neighbors’ pets after they saw how well-mannered and happy my animals were. I’m attentive, patient, and highly observant of animal behavior, which helps me create a calm, safe environment and respond to each dog appropriately. I’m also experienced in caring for cats and am comfortable managing a variety of temperaments and routines for animals of all kinds. Providing reliable, compassionate care and giving pet parents peace of mind is something I truly value, and I love building trust with both pets and their people and creating a genuine relationship! Every morning I take the pups on a walk or run, and on every day but Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do backyard playtime in the afternoon, then every day in the evenings is indoor playtime. And on the weekends, I love to take my dogs on long hikes, to the dog park, or to go swimming! Please note that I am a student, so there will be times when they will need to be alone and unsupervised, usually kenneled, but I make it a point to expend energy before and after an absence like that so they will want to nap whilst I am away. I am very experienced in interpreting dog behavior/body language and handling stressful situations. I value honesty and transparency, and you can be sure to expect pictures and videos! :) I am willing to feed, walk, water, and brush your animals. Whatever they need, I am up for it!

Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch — I’ve got this! Pet care is a big and joyful part of my daily life! 🐾 I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day.

“We could tell that Olivia took great care of our cats because they were so calm and unstressed when we returned! Wonderful! Their food area was nice and tidy, and everything looked good. Well done!”

About: I have four children ages 17-11 who love animals. We lost our dog four years ago and miss him like crazy. We reach for other peoples’ pets on hikes and walks. We would love to care for your pet for a few days. I’m home this year working on house projects. I’m happy to have company while I read, walk, and do life at home. We have a walking path close to our home that is fenced from the road. I have a big room in my home, a garage, and a fenced acre with shade trees and a dog house. Please bring a crate with your dog and any preferred feeding bowls and accessories.
“Kelsey has been FANTASTIC with our pups this week! She has made sure they get time to run and eat and also even has gone above and beyond cleaning up a few messes and teaching helpful commands. I’m so excited to have her come back next week!!”
