About: Animals have populated my life since childhood where I grew up with chickens, horses, pigs, cows, cats and dogs to adulthood with my own two cats and dog. I have baby/pet/house sat for countless families through word of mouth and professional organizations. My passion is fostering kittens through the SPCA, as well as pregnant/nursing mamas, puppies and dogs. I have experience administering medications, including insulin for diabetic cats. My animal family and I would love to give you peace of mind by caring for your pets when you need extra support. I am currently a homemaker, so your pets would be supervised for their entire stay and have lots of opportunities for walks, playtime and potty breaks. We own our home with a large fenced-in yard on a quiet street so your pet will have ample time outdoors to play and go for walks. My own dog LOVES every dog he has ever met and will be an excellent playmate. Our cats can be sequestered upstairs if your dog is not feline-friendly and my foster kittens/cats have their own separate space to keep everyone safe. I am comfortable with crates as well if your dog enjoys their own den.

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I love animals and have years of experience caring for pets. I treat every pet like my own, giving them lots of love and attention. You can count on me to keep your fur babies happy and safe while you’re away! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. My routine is centered around making sure they are happy and healthy. We start the day with a morning walk, if you prefer that, where they can get plenty of exercise. Throughout the day, I ensure they have a mix of playtime, feeding, and rest, always keeping an eye on their well-being. I am home 90% of the time besides when I leave to go to the gym, not leaving more than an hour or two tops! In addition to outdoor adventures, my home offers a spacious, backyard where pets can run and play safely. I believe in creating a comfortable and engaging environment, so your pets will feel like they are part of the family. Whether it's a quick visit, daily check-ins, or overnight stays, I am dedicated to providing a loving and secure experience for your furry friends. I start my day early, around 6 AM, to let the pets out and ensure they get a good start to their day. I stay up until around 10 PM, making sure they are comfortable and settled in for the night. You can rest assured that with me, your pets are in caring and capable hands, enjoying a routine filled with love, activity, and safety.

About: Hi there! I’m Erin — a full-time teacher during the school year and a full-time dog lover year round. During the summer, I have lots of extra time and flexibility to take your pups on long walks or stop by for drop-in visits when you need a hand. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m calm, friendly, and always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pup is high-energy or a little more shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! For the months of July and August I am completely free 7 days a week all day long. During the school year, I work as a teacher so I am at work from around 7:30-3:30. However, my evenings and weekends remain completely free. I have a fenced in yard and 2 happy pups to keep your furry friend company! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and I am happy to let them either roam free downstairs or be put in a kennel when I am not home. I have a gate that keeps my dog from going upstairs when I’m not home, so that can be closed at any time during the day too. Let me know what you prefer and we will make it work in order to let your pet be as comfortable as possible!

About: I have two rescue dogs at home, that I’ve taken care of for 5 years that I adore! I do hot girl walks and puppies!

I live in an apartment at school, best case scenario for sitting puppies. But also campus is full of great places for walks! I am also very flexible for house and dog sitting on the weekend as well!

About: Home 24/7, own my home, large yard. Am the owner of caged pets whom are my babies. I will provide a loving, safe and friendly environment for your pet whilst you are away. I have a 25 year old daughter whom also is available to walk your dog as well as play with and cuddle. We are a very loving family and have pets of our own whom literally are like my children.

I have taken care of dogs multiple times in the past for neighbors and people whom simple just have heard how much I adore pets. References available upon request. 🐶🐾 I am home all the time, I can provide walks, playtime and much love. Your pet will be loved so your time away will be worry free My Pomeranian is sweet and extremely friendly, my caged rabbits do run around daily and both are extremely sweet natured.

About: “My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty.” – Elayne Boosler I am home 95% of the time during the summer, we just extended the fence to about an acre! Also have an above ground pool that your pup can swim in with my help if they like to. During the school year I am out of the house Mon-Fri from 7-4 so I can take dogs for boarding on Friday's starting at 4 or after. My favorite thing is to be home with my dogs on the weekend so most likely the shortest amount of time your pup(s) will be home without a human is 2-4 hours max. When I am home, the dogs are my first priority, with many walks, brushing, massage and pampering included in each visit! If your pup needs a bath and is well-behaved in the tub, I'd love to freshen them up! (I do not cut nails). All of my pups are on flea and tick prevention year round. Please reach out if you have any questions! I am home all day during the summer months so I can watch your pup 24/7! I have older pups who love to chill and a younger golden who loves to run around and play so whatever kind of dog you have they should fit right in. No aggressive dogs please! I am home 24/7 when watching your pup. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to play and a nice indoor area as well. Our dogs are allowed on furniture and prefer it over their expensive dog beds lol.
