About: I walk dogs, cat sit, and house sit around my neighborhood and it’s my favorite part of my week. I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.
“Great first week of having Katy walk Ella! Looking forward to Katy walking her each week!”

About: I have experience with dogs,cats reptiles and birds. I have also been known to house the occasional pig,ferret and once a raccoon. But honestly probably wouldn't do a raccoon again. I am available anytime and free all day. I do go out of town and take family trips as often as we can but those are all planned out I have a front and back yard, the from is a courtyard with grass and a very playful neighbor dog if yours want to play and only at your discretion. My back yard is shell and patio. I live in a fenced church area but my yard is not fenced. But your loved one is allowed to be outside and free to run and play. I have carpet free and smoke free home but not kid free. They also love animals and will respect any rules or wishes you may have .
About: Have lots of experience taking care of pets. I live in a safe neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and open fields. I also have a fenced in back yard for unleashed play. I work full time but have evenings and days off free to be able to walk and spend time with your pets. I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a fenced in back yard and one furry older dog to play with your pets if able. I am easily able to crate your pets or let them roam if wanted and able.
About: My name is Heidi and I am a kind, gentle and compassionate person who loves all animals and people. I stumbled upon this opportunity Just about 7 years ago and it is the best job ever!! I love getting to meet all different breeds and getting to know each dogs' personality but the best part is being able to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet while you are away. I am also a mother to an amazing son named Caleb who is 15 yrs old and absolutely adores all of the dogs we welcome into our home. Being able to share this experience with my son is probably one of the most rewarding parts of this job. He has learned so much about caring for dogs and about being compassionate. He snuggles with them and It is so sweet to hear him talk to them when he doesn't think anyone is listening. I am currently working outside the home at a dental office. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 7:30am-5pm and Wednesday’s 7:30-4pm and off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We will care for your pets as if they are our own. Please let me know what their normal care routines are and we will follow them. We want them to be comfortable and loved during your time away.

Currently, I have three fur babies of my own whom I care for and spoil every day. I look forward to loving and caring for your fur babies just as much.

We keep our fur babies inside due to a lot of wild life in our neighborhood .They are never outside withoit supervision from Me or my Husband.
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
“Nicole was fantastic! She is great with dogs, trustworthy, conscientious, and just all around delightful. Highly recommend.”
“McCall was the best! She sent plenty of pics updating me on Max while we were out. She left a very detailed overview of her time with Max. She is definitely going to be my person to walk Max or take care of him we we go out of town :)”
About: My family has always had dogs growing up since before I was born. I have my own personal dog for the past 6 years that I fully care for myself. Throughout high school and college I would help friends, family and neighbors with caring for their dogs including watching them, taking them on walks and feeding them during the day. I have my own dog who, for exercise, I take for a quick half mile+ walk in the morning, and on my days off I often take her on a 2 mile walk/run and we often go to the dog parks on the weekend! My friends and family always joke on how my dog is a "Princess." I am very attentive to her with playing, walking, and always giving her the best life I can. I will treat your pet like my own!
