About: I have always had a dog in the family to care for, however recently this summer I cared for many pets over week long periods. I wake up to feed and walk my dog every morning so I am already in the groove of petting sitting from the moment I wake up. I am always cautious and safe when caring for my clients. At my house, I have a fenced in back yard as well as two friendly dogs that love to play.

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs growing up. I have also had many of my own dogs and have worked with them on crate, walking, and regular obedience training. I’ve cared for different aged dogs from puppies to older dogs. I also have experience with untrained dogs and big and small dogs. I have fostered cats recently and can help out with whatever animals you have. I absolutely love all animals! I am currently still in school so during the week I am still available but my schedule fluctuates. Just let me know ahead of time and I can help out. I am able to provide excellent care for animals as well as tidying up around the home if needed. I will care for them as if they were my own!

“Logan is always great with all 3 of our boys, and is always sure that all 3 of them get the attention they need while we're away. Even our youngest who is terrified of everyone and everything has warmed up to her! 10/10 would recommend booking her!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

About: I have had pets my whole life. I took most of the responsibilities . I have had years of experience with animals of all kinds. I’m currently looking for a job but for now I am unemployed and I am free at any time so feel free to text me. My dog gets taken out of the house often for potty or to play. At night he sleeps in his crate, or if I have to leave the house.

About: I have grown up in a pet friendly household and taken care of my neighbors pets frequently. I love being around both cats and dogs! I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time! I have an internship that is very flexible and once a week (ending soon though) but other than that I currently do not have any other things that interfere with my schedule. I like to create an environment for pets where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I love giving them lots of toys and playing with them, but knowing when to give them space or let them nap. I also love taking them on long walks or just giving them lots of pets :)

“Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”


About: I have owned varying pets throughout my whole life; rabbits, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals, which makes me a great choice for pet sitting. I understand how important it is to follow routines, provide companionship, and keep pets safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I also have a green thumb, so if you need me to water any plants while you're out, just ask! I currently have a full time job, so a majority of my openings will be on the weekends. However during the summer I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am to take care of your pets. I will always keep them on a leash, if out for a walk. And if you need something specific done, just send me a message!

About: I have cared for animals since I was little. We have had all kinds of pets from (hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats). My 12 year old daughter loves animals and has worked over the years with dog sitting for hours at their house and walking the dogs in our neighborhood. I am a teacher. I am off during the summer and we are home every day. Even if I am not here for a few hours, I have two responsible tweens that are very capable of loving and caring for your pet. We live in a duplex with a mid size back yard. It is not fenced in, but I can put them on a long leash if needed for running. We also have a mile long road that makes a circle of our neighborhood. Even though our subdivision is under construction, we will have a pond and a play area for our dogs to play. We also are able to crate if needed. We have a small dog of our own that would love company and we have a guinea pig that stays in the living room in a fenced in area (which we can put in a cage in a bedroom if needed). Our dog is not crated and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in our beds.
