“Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.”

About: I'm a dependable and hard worker who's had dogs and cats my whole life, and have been pet/house sitting off and on since I was an early teenager. I love taking dogs for runs or walks with me and getting the chance to exercise them, or just playing with them in the house. I have plenty of experience with older dogs who need medication and various special care needs, dogs who have recently had operations, as well as with puppies making messes. I also have cared for kittens and older cats who need play time or lots of love. I'm happy to give daily updates on your pets; I think they are just as cute as you do! I've taken care of houses, plants, and pets for up to three month periods, communicating with the owners the whole time. I will love and care for your pets just like you do! I currently work from home and have a completely flexible schedule, so I can fit your pets' care needs in however works best for them. I have lots of experience with very high energy working dogs, German Shepherds, who needed to be kenneled and fed in particular ways, as well as experience with caring for up to six pets at a time, making sure they're all fed and getting along at dinner or play times.

About: I’ve started walking dogs since I was walking in diapers. Throughout the years I’ve taken care of different sizes of dogs~ puppies to seniors. I’ve taken care of dogs that needed medical care and trained my dog and my grandma’s pup. I can say I know a bit of things when it comes dogs. I’m currently going to school in the afternoon and working at a part time, my mornings are almost always open and some of my nights. I’ll Still be willingly to work something out between those times. I like to take my dog out every 4 hrs even if he isn’t waiting at the door just to make sure he gets a nice breeze of the outside. I usually give him a cup of food every morning.

About: I absolutely love animals. My family has fostered dogs and cats my whole life, from seniors to fresh pups we helped them all! I also spent most of my childhood helping my grandfather run his farm/looking after his animals. I currently have a part time job so I will have more than enough time to take care of your furry friends! I have my own car so getting to wherever you need is never a problem. Anything your animal needs I will assure they get it. Anything you want them to do will get done. Exercise, playtime, food, and love. The four essentials that your pets will have covered!

About: Having lived with dogs my whole life, I'm happy to help with years of experience in dog care. As a very active student with a flexible schedule, I have time and energy to help with dog walks! I also have a lot of patience and energy to help with dogs who require extra attention and care. As an experienced house-sitter, I'm an organized and responsible helper with dog care which requires special attention to detail. Love to help out on weekends and weekday mornings or evenings around my schedule as a graduate student. I will be able to help more during my vacations, so I’ll be sure to share when I’m off school I like to make sure the pets are comfortable with me and treat them and the owners property with respect I would hope for myself. I like to make sure I leave a pet and home happier, calmer, and safely when I provide my services

“Very reliable. Also flexible when needing to change schedule. Gives you updates when your dog has been walked. I know Porter is well taken care of.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 4 years. I’d love to spoil your pup! I have an extra crate if needed and plenty of toys from my dogs they can use. I work from home full time so I am available almost every day of the week. I am free to take them out too as needed. I have a large yard for them to potty in and a front yard for play time. I have one dog at home that loves to play and is so friendly. I love having animals in my home & id love to watch yours!

About: I offer a calm, structured, and playful home led by a well-trained German Shepherd. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and managing multi-dog households. Your dog will be safe, engaged, and treated like family here. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work from home, so your pet will get constant attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. My responsible teenagers also help, making sure there’s always someone to play with, snuggle, or take your pup for a walk. We have a park with beautiful trails right behind our house, so your dog will enjoy frequent walks and outdoor time. We’ll also send you regular photo updates so you can see how happy and loved they are while you’re away! In our home, your pet becomes part of the family! With me working from home and a few caring teens around, your dog will get nonstop attention, affection, and supervision. I keep a calm, clean, and fun environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and exercise. The park and trails right behind our house make daily walks and fresh air a natural part of the routine. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether it’s puppy energy or senior comfort and send regular photo updates so you feel confident they’re in the best hands possible.

About: I am a dog trainer (6 years of experience) and own a local dog training company ( instagram is Bingleyco )with my partner. We have extensive knowledge in not only caring for dogs, but also guiding them and their owners to success! We are self employed so we create our own schedule to be able to be there when you need us! Whatever your needs we are here for you! At this time we are only offering day care, training, and dog walking . But take safety extremely seriously and always ensure your dogs are well cared for.

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and care for all types. I am reliable, patient, and treat every pet great! I worked at a pet care for about a year as well! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my time around their needs. I can provide regular visits, feedings, walks, playtime, and attention on a schedule that works for each pet. I care for pets in their own home, following their usual routine for meals, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences, while also noticing and respecting when a pet prefers to be left alone and simply kept to their routine. Along with providing excellent care, I value reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, training, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling additional care such as post operative care, bandage or diaper changes. My experience extends to caring for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and fish tanks, lizards, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. I genuinely enjoy learning how to care for different types of animals and am dedicated to giving each one the care they need. At the same time, I’ll always be upfront if a type of care is outside my experience level, so you have the opportunity to find the most appropriate care for your pet. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by giving them the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.

About: Veterinary assistant background, I am willing and able to do medication drop ins, feedings, and walks. I can do daytime sitting as well and my capacity for that may open up later. I have worked with disabled, and anxious dogs and cats and am fairly comfortable with most personality types. I have worked with professional trainers through my prior veterinary employment and am able to assist with basic training reinforcement. I am currently in a program so I have a lot of open availability, mostly daytime hours. I am available for dog walks, and drop ins, feedings/meds. I can do pet sitting for up to 6 hours at a time. I cannot do overnights becaus either have animals of my own, and I dont currently offer boarding due to my dog having a reactive nature. I have a lot of experience with animal handling and safety protocols. Leaving a pet in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking. I treat every pet as I would my own. I will adapt to whatever care instructions are required when caring for each pet.

About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, from pet-sitting friends dogs and cats, to helping out at the shelter, though my pride and joy is my shelter pup Maggie, who I had the pleasure of training, and had been my buddy for 13 years. She was the absolute best, and I miss her so so much. Since Maggie passed, I now have the pleasure of raising and training yet another shelter pup, who is a great dog with lots of spunk. Her name is Luma, she’ll be 3 in April 2025, and she’s great with kids, dogs, and cats! I go to church on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings, and I’m currently an online student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any further questions feel free to enquirer to see if I’m available or if we can work something out! I look forward to hearing from you :) Currently, I am available for pet and house sitting, as well as walking and drop-ins. When house and pet sitting I will follow the rules you set for your home, as well as treating your pets as my own, which means spoiling them with lots of snuggles and top notch care!
