“Mis was so patient and professional with handling and caring for my dog’s high-maintenance needs all week. Communication, updates and photos really helped me feel my pup was in good hands. I came hone to a calm, happy pup and well cared-for space. I would absolutely book Mia again.”

About: I will look after your little one lovingly and with focused attention. If you are looking for a pet sitter to dote on your pup I'm the right fit for you! They will be the main focus of the time I'm with them and I'm happy to follow any special instructions you might have. I only accept one boarder at a time. Please reach out with any questions. Best, Mel I'm currently available Wed-Sun to do drop in care near Veneta. I'm available for boarding Thurs-Sat. Please message me to see if I'd be a good fit for your fur baby! My home is already very pet safe but if you find you have concerns when we do a meet and greet, I'm open to feedback! Twenty-seven years experience as a caregiver, and many years as a pet parent, has helped me become very aware of safety and it's always a focus and priority.
About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!
“Tyler did an awesome job caring for my cat. He sent a couple pictures and a little blurb summarizing the visit every time and he was always quick to respond to any messages I sent. He also left a kind message on my whiteboard welcoming me back to my home which was lovely after a full day of travel! Thanks Tyler!”

About: Hi, my name is Isabella. I'm 19 years old and have had the pleasure of caring for and meeting many fascinating animals, including reptiles, felines, canines, and more. I am an animal enthusiast studying biology and zoology in high school. I have grown up with animals, and to this day, I have had rats, cats, dogs, and birds. I currently don’t work at the moment, which means more time to see your adorable animals! But I am planning to return to college in early September. -My availability is 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. Since I am home most of my day, I spend a lot of time with my animals. Our routine starts as follows: wet food for herbiee in the morning and for Tutsi FreshPet I refill their water with the coldest and clean the dish every morning. I take Tutsi out and come back to pet Herbert. Usually we just relax and cuddle until it’s time to pick up my boyfriend from work.
About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.

About: I would be an ideal candidate for dog sitting and walking because I have years of hands-on experience caring for family dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, which helps me build trust with both pets and their owners. As a stay-at-home mom with one son, I have a flexible daily routine and open availability throughout the week. My days include staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, which gives me plenty of time and energy to care for dogs. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and a safe, loving environment for pets while their owners are busy or away. “I can provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for dogs in my home. I’m a stay-at-home mom with one son and two friendly dogs, so visiting pets would receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and I can provide a crate if needed to help dogs feel secure and comfortable during their stay.
About: I grew up on a farm and have extensive experience with small animals, large animals, and all farm animals. I am very good at calming anxious animals, basic training skills, and keeping open lines of communication. I am a classroom teacher transitioning out of the classroom, so my focus is on your pet! I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time throughout the week to spoil your babies. My time working in middle-school classrooms has helped me excel at multi-tasking, quick thinking, and intuitive skills which make me a great option for your pet. You are the expert on your pet and I trust and follow your expertise! I currently have a cat in my home and she may be open to other animal friends hanging around the house, but otherwise I am more than happy to come to where you are so your pet is as comfortable as possible.
“Sandra was a great fit for cat, Daisy! From our first meet and greet, to all of the daily updates, I felt comforted in leaving our pet in Sandra’s care. She spent time getting to know our cat and Daisy warmed up to her better than any sitter we’ve had before! I will definitely be asking Sandra for help in the future.”

“This was our first time using a sitter for our dog and Julia exceeded expectations. We booked them for several drop in visits and they were on time and provided visit info with pictures almost immediately. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone.”

“Grace was wonderful! My cat was super shy but Grace was patient and also went the extra mile with bringing her treats and helping out with keeping my ac on since the breaker kept switching it off. Great communication from Grace which made my trip that much better knowing my kitty was in great hands. Definitely will book for my next trip and you should too!”

About: I currently work part time as a fulfillment handler for a dog training company. I've had pets all my life, and have a special bond with dogs. I enjoy all animals, and have a dog right now who's a 6 year old beagle mix. I've had a few dogs throughout my life, and had a rescued a pit bull named Sadie who just passed away recently after 8 amazing years, (6 when we got her ❤️).

I love being able to help pets relax even when their owners are away.
About: I enjoy with with animals and have had many breeds that I have worked with. I have a horse farm and rescue which has helped me learn how to work with many different health issues and inspired me to open our home to other animals. .

I have plenty of space, which includes fenced areas and an entire home. We have open areas for dog walking and exercise. I enjoy caring for pets in their home too.

About: I have no special skills per se, just a lot of love for dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life and don’t currently have any pets, so I am just itching for some doggie time; walking, playing, cuddling, etc. Please let me hang out with your dog! I am free as a bird! I can be available for pretty much anything, any time! My baby naps on the go anywhere. Family dinners every night are our only scheduled event every day :) I live in an apartment that has a little dog area perfect for quick potty breaks, but I am in my 10k steps a day era so I really need a dog buddy to walk with me around the park or the neighborhood! I’m more than happy to take your dog to their favorite dog park too!
“wonderful! we got 1-5 photos after each drop-in. our kitties were able to get in their playtime, cuddle time, and kisses :) our girls are both very different but she was able to meet both their needs perfectly”


About: I strive to be as reliable as a person can be and trustworthy in all my life. I have experience with a local Veterinarian and I am knowledgeable about pet care. I am extremely comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats, experienced working with little tiny dogs and large dogs of all ages, and I've even working with the local K9 Unit. I love helping people and pets in a stress free environment for both Owner and Pet. Please consider me for caring for your pets. I also love caring for rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, and cattle if needed. Please call or email me anytime. I am available weekdays and weekends. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my services. I own and run my own business so I have that schedule built around my dogs schedules. All my animals have a daily care refuting and I am home a lot. I follow instructions that I always request from clients. Making sure I have the information I need to have a safe booking. I also like to make them their own safe area in my home. If they are at their own home they already have their comfort area.
About: I provide reliable, structured, and genuinely attentive care — not just “watching” your dog, but actively engaging with them to keep them happy, calm, and fulfilled while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds and high-energy pups, and I tailor care based on each dog’s personality and needs. Whether that means long walks, structured play, mental stimulation, or just a calm presence for anxious dogs, I adjust to what helps them feel safest. I have experience reinforcing basic training (sit, stay, and cool tricks), and maintaining routines. I’m especially patient with puppies who are still learning and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. What sets me apart is communication and consistency — you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. If you want picture or messaged every 5 minutes I can do that! I treat every dog like they’re my own, with safety, structure, and affection as my top priorities. I work remotely so I can work from anywhere, anytime. My job is also very flexible so I can always give your pet the attention they need at any time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, organized, and pet-safe environment free of hazards, and I closely supervise all pets. I never leave dogs unattended in situations that could put them at risk, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your dog’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors and gates are securely closed, use leashes on walks at all times, and remain alert to surroundings for safety. Communication is key — I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a safe, positive experience every time.
