“Marc continues to build his relationship with both of my dogs and their fondness for him grows with each visit. I am very grateful for this and the assistance he is providing to me.”
“Rick was amazing dropping in for our two older dogs, one requiring several pills each visit. He made sure to let us know how they were doing. It made our trip so much easier knowing the dogs were getting great attention. We'll definitely be using Rick in the future.”
About: I have owned and trained dogs in the past. I am quite alert to body language and willl meet your pet with respect and patience. I currently work full-time at a “day job “, but I am willing mornings, afternoons and evenings to make house visits as your schedule may require. I have great attention to detail and will follow all instructions given. If there is a special diet or any other special instructions, you can feel confident that I will diligently care for your pet while you’re away.
About: I drove through a tornado in 2024 to get home and get my 3 dogs and 1 cat to safety. I believe pets are just as important as family and treat them as such. I work a few hours late in the afternoon and have plenty of availability to help others by tending to their pets when they can't. I will follow the owner's wishes as far as checking in on their pets. Potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I will treat their pets like my own - they are my priority and I take the responsibility seriously. My three dogs are my family and those that know me will attest to my love for pets. I am very protective of their welfare and have their best interests at heart.
About: I have taken care and owned dogs for over 10 years. I’m currently a dog owner of two, who we have adopted from the shelter. One of our dogs has serve anxiety so I also have experience in that. I am a stay at home mom, my daughter is in school full time so I have a lot of flexibility during the day and also on weekends. I have a fenced in yard at home, lots of leashes, toys and treats as well. Dogs are treated like humans here, so the couch is all theirs too :)
About: I have over 20 years caring for dogs + 5 years with my own highly reactive German Shepherd. I love taking walkies, giving head scratchies, and teaching basic tricks. I have a flexible work schedule. I can help early, late or during the day for potty breaks, walks, play time, or snuggles with your furry friend! I am a responsible pet owner of my own that has trained my own highly reactive German Shepherd. I would love to take walks, play and teach basic tricks to your favorite furry friend.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats my whole life. Big, small, and medium + a range of different breeds. I have a lot of patience and drive to make sure your pet is getting everything they need! I work a part time job and have a lot of free time. This allows me to have my mornings and nights available as needed. In tandem with pet sitting I also have significant house sitting experience. From vacuuming to dusting to dishes; you name it and I will do it. Not only will I take great care of your pet but I will take great care of your home as well— always leaving it better than I found it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. It never mattered if the dog was mine, some one else’s or a stray, I loved them all - and still do! I’m currently working full time as a teacher. Luckily my school is a 5 min drive from my home, so getting home quickly is a perk ☺️ I do not do any after school activities, therefore when it’s 3:10 pm I’m headed home! My weekends are usually free and any holiday I am free! Your dogs home away from home 🥰 I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs of my own to play with yours! My home is set up to accommodate any dog needs whether it be food allergies, anxiety, training, medications etc.. I’m able to do it all for your pup(s)! If needed I can continue any training done at home. Due to having 2 herding dogs I have 5 years of experience training. Some of the skills worked on have been: basic commands, potty training - ring bell, crate training, redirection training and recall. One of my dogs has extreme anxiety which has allowed me to learn different ways to train him depending on circumstances. I have rooms and spaces set up in the home to allow the dogs to escape to when they are overwhelmed. While your pet stays with me their comfortability is my priority! When it comes to any type of animal I have endless love, patience, empathy and kindness 🖤

About: I've taken care of and lived with a dog consistently since I was 7 years old. I love dogs of all sizes (and attitudes) - big and small. I'm happy to feed, walk, play or just spend a little quality time with your pup! I work from home full time and have a generally flexible schedule. I'm available most weekends all day, as well as weekday evenings. Depending on the day/week, I can accommodate different schedules and visiting windows. I'm all about making your pet feel comfortable and relaxed while you're away. I know some pets are total social butterflies, and others might take a bit of time to warm up - and that's totally okay! I'll respect their space and routines so they feel safe and happy with me around.

I have recently retired and have plenty of time and availability to help with your pets. I stay physically active and walk many miles per day and would love to walk with your pet. I am very dependable and you can be sure I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have 3 dogs and I understand that it isn’t easy to leave them alone, or with people you don’t know. I also know it is less stressful on our pets when they can be in a familiar environment where they feel safe and secure.
