About: I have been taking care of animal since I was little and currently have two kittens of my own! I have been pet sitting/ dog walking on an off since high school and am used to taking care of all ages, breeds, and type of animal! I work part time and go to school full time during the academic year but my schedule tends to be pretty flexible with hybrid classes so i can always work around whatever fits your needs! I am used to dealing with high energy dogs, as well as big dogs. I am able to go on long walks or even take the dog to the park! I also am able to stay and play with your dog/cat at the house for however long you need!

“Very dependable and and great handling of my dog and cat. Highly recommended”

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.

“Niki responded quickly, was willing to accommodate me last minute while I was feeling sick, and Mika was happily tired after her walk- what more could you ask for? Thank you again so much for your help!!”

“Quick response!! Had a last minute emergency and Keri was able to come at a last minute request to let my dog out. Highly recommend and will definitely use Keri more often!”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

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.

“I could not be happier with Michael's care!!!! Responsible, kind, caring! I love getting photo updates from my pup's walks. Thank you so much, I am so happy to know my sweet Flo is taken care of while I'm at work”

About: I'm a calm and patient pet caregiver who enjoys working with pets of all temperaments. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or older and needs extra care, I take the time to understand their needs and make them feel safe. I know how important its is to know your pet is doing well while your away. I always follow care instructions carefully and send update photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have had several years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats including feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and giving basic medication. I understand how important it is to keep a pet in its routine and want you to feel confident that your pets are healthy and safe. I currently work part time at a breakfast restaurant. This make my schedule pretty flexible and allows me time right in the morning to take care of / walk any pets and also leave work before 3p.m every day. This also makes me available every afternoon of the week. Very flexible to fit your pets needs, if just a walk or feeding or hanging out all afternoon together . I would follow your care instructions as provided, I do live in an apartment with 2 cats but when other animals stay they will be completely separated and to ensure no potential issues with animals not getting along. I have nice trails and a dog park and pool in my community. Dogs that's stay with me must be no more 35 lbs and be crate trained. Your pet would only be in a crate if I have to work, but my typical shift is 5-6 hours never more then 7.

“Marie is great with Shadow - very attentive and reliable! He’s a large mouthy dog and she isn’t intimidated at all. Always glad when she can walk him!”

About: My family has never been without a dog since I’ve been born! I have been trusted to look after and play with my dogs and my friends/neighbors pets since I’ve been 12 years old. I have always loved animals (I’m also vegan) and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pets personality! I firmly believe there’s no such thing as too many photos of a pet ❤️ I’m currently working part time as a pickleball coach during the day and as a bartender at night! My pickleball schedule differs week to week, but when I have enough notice I can schedule my lessons around my pet care. I am available in the mornings, afternoons depending on lessons, and morning/early afternoon on weekends. I have experience taking my own dogs to a trainer and I’m very comfortable with crating your dog if needed, going through exercises together and going on walks. I love to take then for walks and play with them if they get the zoomies inside! I always keep them on a leash not only for their safety, but for everyone else’s.

About: Every pet that walks through our doors is loved exactly like if they’re our own. As a child I grew up with animals and my parents would never stop buying or adopting new ones. At most we had 5 in the house at once. But through the years we have had many more then that. I don’t no if this is what causes my love for pets but it just feels like second nature when a dog walks through the door to care for them exactly like they were mine. Our home has Vinyl floors to make clean ups easier and was just built in 2020. We have a completely fenced in yard and plenty of toys, treats and things for them to do. I pride myself on my availability and flexibility. Dropping your pet off at my house is absolutely nothing like dropping your dog off at a Franchised pet sitting place. Your Pet does not ever have to go in a cage unless you want them or that is where they feel more comfortable. I work from home full time so play time in the backyard happens naturally when the pet wants to go outside. Not on a strict forced schedule. This allows the pups to feel more comfortable while you are taking care of whatever it is you have to do. I am happy to send pictures & video throughout your animals stay so you can see what they are up to. I am home full time to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for. Your pups are my priority and my schedule works really well with this as I just work on the computer during the day and can take breaks whenever I want or as needed. Safety is my utmost priority and every single procedure I put in place inside my home is to make sure your pet has a great stay.

“She was so loving and caring and my dogs love her 💜 was my daily walker after I had back surgery and she was able to help me on such short notice.”

“I've now used Fran MULTIPLE times! She's amazing with my dogs and almost always available for the times I need her. She's literally my go-to person! Thank you!”
