“Anna was kind and patient with my nervous dog. She is a genuine person with a genuine love for dogs and all animals and sizes in general. My anxious girl warmed right up to her and came back tired and content after their walk. If you have any doubts, don’t! Book Anna now!”

“She was great! Very good communication and she even took out my trash! I would book her again”

About: I am always the first to call when someone I know needs pet care! I have also worked in a veterinary hospital with dogs and cats. As of now, I have a very open schedule. I am willing to care overnight or just drop by for a quick walk. I am flexible! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have one dog and cat of my own, and my dog is crate-trained. Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!

About: I am a lifelong dog lover, I grew up with dogs and have always loved having pets around. I've been dog sitting and walking for family and friends for as long as I've been able to drive and is something I really enjoy! I'm currently in school and I have lots of availability and flexibility for dog walking, and I love going on long walks. I have experience with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies, to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m very active and love spending time outside, so dogs who enjoy walks, runs, and playtime are a great match for me. I treat every pet like they’re my own and promise to give your pet lots of love! I currently only have classes on Monday mornings, which gives me a very flexible schedule during the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I love getting outside for walks or runs, so spending time with dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I am unavailable Thursdays, but I’m flexible the rest of the week and on weekends. When taking care of other people's pets I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow feeding schedules, make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, and give them lots of attention so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I make sure to listen to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they want long walks, playtime, or just some relaxed company. I also make sure pets are safe, clean up after them, and keep owners updated. One of my favorite parts about pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Every dog has their own funny little quirks and habits, and I love learning what makes them happy!

About: I grew up in Texas with two dogs and two cats. And I’ve had my currently dog, Theo, since he was 5 weeks old. And I also have experience with an elderly dog with diabetes needs.

I create my own hours for research. So otherwise I am normally flexible on time! I love going on walks with dogs, time/distance depending on breed and age. Every dog is different but playtime and enrichment are very important in our home so I’ll do what I can to incorporate that in their lives as well! Same with cats, depending on comfortability!

About: Drawing from 10+ years of enriching experiences caring for the pets of friends, family, and coworkers alongside my own, I approach every furry companion with patience and individualized attention. Proficient in walking, bathing, and feeding routines, I adapt seamlessly to pets' needs, whether they require special care or enjoy a carefree romp. My dedication lies in ensuring each pet feels cherished and content, creating a loving environment just like home I currently work full time remotely/in-field I can care for your pets throughout the day with plenty of time to play and take them out for walks. If needed I can work from the family home to keep a closer eye on our little friends. I am available for overnight weekend stays at the family home if needed on select weekends. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize creating a familiar and comfortable environment for their furry companions. This involves adhering to established routines, maintaining a clean and safe space, and providing ample playtime and affection. I'm diligent about following specific feeding schedules, administering any required medications, and ensuring the overall well-being of the pet in their familiar surroundings. Communication with the client is key, as I keep them updated with regular reports/photos on their pet's activities, mood, and health, providing peace of mind while they're away

“Shay went above and beyond for our pups. She took our two German Shepards to a nearby trail system and managed to cover over 5 miles in just an hour! Having a one year old puppy, her effort and time put into our dogs was so appreciated. Can’t recommend her enough.”

Andrea M.

“Bear loved her! She took him on walks and gave him treats and sent me pictures each time. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggie!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life; from having my own, to living on farms, to caring for other's animals, and even working with them. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, fish, birds, hermit crabs, and gerbils/hamsters. Animals have always been a great joy in my life, and I hope to bring some joy to their lives in return. :) My animals are my whole entire world, and I promise to treat your animals as if they were mine as well. You can count on me to keep your pets happy and safe! ❤️ I currently have three kitties of my own who are my babies 💕 They are honestly my life, idk what I would do without them. 💖 At home, our kitties get daily playtime with toys as well as occasional supervised outside time in the backyard. Of course, they also get all the love and pets they can handle! I am happy to help out with extra errands as well if need be! I can help with garden/plant care, grocery pickups/delivery, vet appointment transport, etc! I'm happy to provide help outside of my distance range for an additional fee. (Prices are negotiable, I understand everyone's budget is different. Discounts available for extended stays/services.) Animals bring so much joy to my life that I have decided to pursue a path that allows me to be around them even more! I only hope that I can bring them a fraction of the joy they bring me. As I have decided to pursue this as my career, aside from occasional personal plans, I will be fully available to help you and your fur babies whenever you need! :) I am more than happy to do anything the pets need to feel safe and happy while in my care. Your pets will get all the treats, brushes, pets, walks, playtime with their favorite toy, and love I have to offer! I will also stay in contact with you to give you text and picture updates so you can have peace of mind, knowing that your babies are happy and well taken care of! ❤️

About: I previously working in a vet office I know how to handle all dogs and cats. I understand that both old pets and puppies need extra care. I can come by during the day since I am a stay at home mom I don’t have a scheduled job. I work on my own time. I am currently a stay at home mom, I have all day to give your pets all the attention they need! I’m very dependable person. I will do drop ins at your house. I come by in the morning and evening, while I am there I will walk, or take dog outside, or if you prefer a dog walk I can do that too. While I’m there I will freshen all water and food, of course send you a picture of what your pet is up to.

About: I love caring for animals - both my own and for others! I have sat dogs for friends on deployment, taken care of mixed pet households (including cats and dogs), cared for senior and disabled dogs, and have experience caring for a wide range of non-traditional pets as well. I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to a wonderful daughter, and my partner works from home, so I have flexibility in my daily and weekly schedules. I understand that different pets need different care and support. Have a super energetic dog? I love playing fetch and going on long walks. Have a kitty that needs silence and space? I'm happy to provide quiet company and respect their boundaries. I'm attentive, consistent, detail-oriented, and responsive. I take caring for your animals as seriously as my own.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my house. I have raised multiple dogs since they were puppies and I have taken care of elderly dogs on their last leg. I also had a cat at one time and have taken care of family’s cats and dogs I currently don’t have a job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am available on weekends and week days. I offer going to your house to take care of your pets. If your pet is skittish I will take my time with them so they will trust me.

About: Hi, I’m Savannah! I am a former veterinary technician of 3+ years with a passion for animals. Since leaving veterinary medicine, I have missed taking care of fur babies! I am open to all kinds of care for all kinds of animals. Our pets deserve our best ❤️ I am currently a university student with a minimal schedule. I’m readily available for multiple services for multiple pets & can definitely work with your schedule. I myself have owned cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, & small mammals. Previously working in veterinary medicine has better prepared me to care for animals, especially fur babies with special medical needs.

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

“Katie is the best! She took AMAZING care of my dog, went above & beyond.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs for all of my life until very recently! I’ve cared for a senior dog, a service dog, and an active german shepherd / labrador mix who can walk for hours!!! I am genuinely always looking to hang out and care for other’s dogs as I know how much MY dogs love attention, love, and care :) My apartment is a one bedroom apartment but I have boarded other dogs there before, my home is their home!!! As long as you are comfortable, we can play at the park and go for as many walks as the dog cares to! (Natural home, no crazy toxins that’ll harm sweet dogs!) I am an avid volunteer and 16 hour student but my schedule is Tu&Thrusday for school; which leaves more than enough time for your sweet dogs! Even on those days, I am usually home around 6PM or even sooner! Single bedroom apartment, reliable car, CLEAN home! For my family it is important for our dogs to be in a calm, relaxing, and nurturing environment that encourages play. Now that I live on my own, my apartment is exactly that!!!! If there are any preferences for your dogs, let me know so I can make them feel at home! (Perks of me living alone : they can roam the entire apartment, dogs get dibs to lay on ALL the soft furniture, and no extra people that YOU don’t approve to be around your dog!)

About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs (including my own good boy named Cash - a sweet pit bull mix) and love making new pup friends. I primarily house sit for friends who need a substitute dog mom whether it be for a couple of nights or a couple of weeks. My most recent pup sitting experience was with three of my favorite dog brothers -a Yorkie, a Shih Tzu, and a German Shepherd mix. I accept all kinds of dogs! I'm also a personal fan of the long walk and would enjoy taking your pup out for an adventure and some exercise. I'm reliable and have a somewhat flexible schedule. I've never met a dog who didn't like me - and as Bill Murray said "I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person."

About: I have had experience with dogs since a young age. Over the years I have helped both friends and family when they are in need of a sitter. I am experienced with bathing, giving medication, scheduled feeding, and of course giving lots of love! Some weekends I will decide to go back home to Little Rock so a heads up when in need of a sitter would be appreciated. If your dog needs to be crated at times, I am open to doing that. Doors will remain shut and locked at all times for safety.
