“Emily did a great job with our pets! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates every day. She was available on short notice to help us out with an unexpected last minute change of plans. Our timid Chihuahua mix took to her right away! She left no trace of her stay at our house except happy pups! Thank you!”


“Lauren did an excellent job of taking care of Freddie the house and all our deck plants I will definitely use her again in the next few weeks Freddie has some stomach issues we are working on and she followed his feeding schedule exactly She would be a great dog sitter for anyone”


“Pamela watched our fur babies overnight and took amazing care of them. We have an elderly diabetic dog that needs injections and a special diet and he did great under her care. She kept us updated with photos throughout the night. I cannot say enough good things 😁”


About: I grew up on a hobby farm, and have taken care of dogs, cats, cows and many other animals. I love all animals, big or small, young or old. They are all my favorite. (Going to be honest, reptiles are not my forte) I’m currently not working right now and I’m going through an internship through my church, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and I’m available pretty much at any point. If I am to be gone during the day, it would only be for a couple hours. If your furry friend just needs to be let out and walked for the day that’s totally fine. I personally, am someone that enjoys my own space and is comfortable in my own area, and I believe animals are similar. By keeping them in their own space and comfortable with their own surroundings, I feel, it makes them not feel as anxious. I would like to treat the animals exactly as its owner would.

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, helping friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walking and feeding to playtime and grooming. Over the past few years, I’ve gained more professional experience by pet sitting regularly and handling animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special routines, and providing lots of love and attention. I also have a cat of my own named Charlie, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member—I treat every pet like they’re my own. Right now until school starts my availability is completely open just get with me and I should be able to watch your loved ones at any time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my client’s home, I follow their routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I keep the home tidy, give updates and photos, and make sure pets get plenty of attention. If I’m watching a pet in my own home, I provide a calm, clean space with lots of love, toys, and a cozy place to rest. I treat every animal with patience and care, just like I do with my own cat, Charlie.

About: I grew up with dogs and fish in my home. Since moving out and not being able to financially care for a pet, I thought I’d offer to watch and care for yours when you’re unavailable. I work full-time at a hospital so I will be offering my services on days I have off from there, where I work as a registered respiratory therapist. I am willing to stay in your home during the days I work if you are out of town. The only thing to be aware of is that my shifts are 12 hours long. I’m willing to stay in your home with your pet when you’re away from home and follow any schedules you may have for your pet.

“Great pet sitter. Otis seemed happy and well cared for. Otis is a 17yr old pug who's eye need cared for daily. Ty cleaned Otis's eyes every day. I really appreciate the time he spent with my old buddy.”


About: I’ve been taking care of people’s pets since I was young. I am a genuine animal lover, so I will ensure the best care is provided for your pets! I work full time Monday-Friday. Those are 8 hour days so I can be fully available to your pets after and before work. My work schedule is set and I can let you the exact schedule ahead of time! I can easily crate your pets, walk your pets, and work with your pets on new skills. I have experience watching both large and small dogs and I’m comfortable with both.

About: I am an avid dog trainer and owner. I have raised dogs for the past 5 years, while traveling around the county with my own dogs and those of others for AKC shows. I am a part of a local 4H club, recent graduate, and have attended prestigious events such as the Westminster Dog Show. During this time I have been responsible for dogs own by other people. I have skills with basic and advanced obedience and conformation. Dogs that I have cared for range from puppies to senior dogs. I have a great ability to make connections with all breeds of dogs. I am used to a daily routine of letting dogs out, feeding, exercising, and training. This routine comes very natural for me. I enjoy working with dogs. I am able to keep a balanced and safe schedule for all pets. I am used to meeting the needs for multiple animals. I show responsibility by following clear directions that have been given to me in order to care for the pet.

“Chris did a great job house sitting for our golden retriever. Her communication was great, and she responded right away with updates whenever I checked in. The house was super clean when we got back, and she took good care of our baby. Would use Chris for house sitting again.”

Long walks, playtime or just relaxing I can adjust to your dogs needs. I’m a full time online student so I have a lot of flexibility to work with your fur babies and accommodate to you and your pups schedule I do my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine and make sure they have lots of love while you’re away.

About: Certificate in CPR and dog training. All ages and breeds. Have worked in shelters. Taken care of senior dogs. Worked at a grooming salon giving baths Pretty much open to stay at your home with your fur family. I feel they do better in the home less stress on them. No place like home When i had my dogs they went to the vet had shots gave them baths. Whatever was needed slept on their beds with pillows and blankets. Always had toys to play with. Went for walks and played fetch

“Our Basset hound, Posie, took an immediate liking to Cristina. We are so happy with Cristina's services. We left her for four whole days (3 nights) with Cristina. Not only did she take excellent care of our baby, she contacted us when some critters caused trouble in our garage and resolved the problems. We are extremely happy with her services. She left our house clean, our dog very happy, and was pleasant and helpful. We were especially glad that she stayed in touch with us by phone and text during our absence. She is great!”


About: I have two dogs myself and genuinely love to spend time with animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me. I also have had puppies/elderly dogs before and am prepared for special needs. I have two dogs at home, both medium energied and with a good temper. I am able to provide care for the dogs all day, however all dogs must be able to be left alone for a minimum of 4 hours in case I have a doctors appointment or grocery shopping and such. If you prefer that your dog be crated during those times you will have to provide the crate. Otherwise I can dog proof my bedroom and leave them in there with water. Never will I leave a dog alone for more than 4 hours at a time. It’s my priority to make sure they are stimulated and cared for. I have housewatched/dogsat at multiple houses before and I haven’t had a bad experience so far. I respect all house rules/pet rules and keep regular contact with owners.

About: I have a great experience with many different types of dogs from senior dogs to puppies due to my wonderful experience and training I had working at an animal shelter. Every dog is different and I will take the time to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe with me. I am currently in between jobs as my sportsbook that I was operating unfortunately closed so I have lots of time to look and care after your dogs. I have always believed if your going away and if possible it’s healthiest for the dog to stay in there environment compared to exposing them to a new place. I am more than happy to stay in your home or just stop by and make sure they are happy and safe and well cared for.

“Hannah was fantastic! We reached out to her with only 24 hours' notice and not only was she able to work with us, but she also stopped by that same day to meet our two dogs ahead of time. She was friendly and great to communicate with. If we are ever in town again and need someone to watch our dogs, I would absolutely contact Hannah again.”
