“Brianna was an excellent sitter for my dog. She was very attentive, caring, and communicative with me as well. From the beginning she put me at ease and made sure my dog would be getting the care that she needed while I was away. She also took incredible care of my house, which was above and beyond, and greatly appreciated. I would absolutely not hesitate to have her watch my dog again.”


About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.

“I was impressed with Catherine from start to finish. My pets immediately took to her, and she gave them lots of love and care while I was away. She sent regular updates and pics, and I felt very comfortable with her caring for them in my home. I was extremely impressed and happy with her and her service. Highly recommend her!”


“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”


About: Looking for a pet sitter? You just found one! Been treating fur babies like family for many years now! Little bit about myself I am a preschool teacher, photographer and pet/ house sitter I have 3 fur babies an Aussie named Winnie, doxie named Ottis and a guinea pig named Pumpkin I have grown up with many different animals like frogs, lizards, turtles and so much more so have much experience with different types of animals. Message me to find out more information and what you need. Willing to work with budgets. I do work as a preschool teacher from 7-5 but I can take half days where I am off at 2, depending what you need. I am usually off Friday-Sunday. I will clean up after your fur baby, take them on walks, feed and water, take them to go potty, whatever service you might need. Willing to discuss what services you might need!

“Karie was absolutely wonderful caring for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was always sending photos of the dogs and making sure they were well cared for. We would highly recommend Karie for all of your animal needs!”


“She was so nice and sweet with our fur babies. Our youngest dog Deacon is every timid and nervous of new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly he was sleeping right next to her the same night she stayed. My husband and I have been recommending her to everyone in the family and anyone on here looking for a pet sitter.”


About: I’ve had animals since birth. Large and small dogs, many, many cats, and even a few caged animals. I cared for my last dog for 16 years and have experience with senior care because of him, including medication and mobility help and he was 100lbs+. I love animals of all kinds, I’ve worked for a stable where we took care of 30+ horses per day, and as you can see from my photos I gravitate towards all sorts of animals even goats, alligators, and llamas! I work part time but have weird hours so I can also help with weird hours. I have 3 days off every week and have open availability on those days, the other days I’m available before or after work. I’m not available for care in my own home. However when I am in your home I will treat it even better then I do my own. I will take care of your animals just like I would my own and give them the proper attention and care they need and deserve, especially tailored to how you want things done.

About: Worked at petsmart for 2 years in college in pet care. Learned to care for cats, dogs, reptiles and horses at a young age. Have owned cats, dogs and reptiles. Knowledge of medications and how to administer. I work from home and my hours are flexible, am able to provide pet care that is round the clock, Monday through Friday and on weekends. For drop ins on weekdays, I can come in the morning or later evening. Large yard, locks on all doors and windows. Would keep animals separate from my own animals if at my house. Never leave animals unsupervised in the home

“Shay did a wonderful job watching our pet while we were away. Shay took time to check in with us, send pictures and updates on how our fur baby was adjusting. Returning home we could tell our cat Pumpkin was happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies just as well as you do, Shay is the person to trust!”


“My dog needed a gentle, friendly female friend to take care of her. Ann is wonderful and I recommend her very much! My fur baby was nice and calm when I came home, almost like she hadn’t stressed about my being gone at all lol.”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, I grew up with many dogs and cats, and helped to take care of them by, walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them. I have also helped out in the neighborhood by taking care of the neighbors pets while away. I absolutely love all animals! I have a 1 yr old cat her name is Luna, and a 9 yr old puppy her name is Charlie, whom are the biggest pieces of my heart! I currently work as a paraprofessional at a school, I love my job and enjoy every minute with the kids! I have a ton of patience, and I am very responsible. I would love to help you with your fur babies!! I’m currently working part-time as a paraprofessional with children, which means I have plenty of time to for your fur babies. I am a substitute paraprofessional, so I get called into work when needed, which also means I don’t have a set schedule. But the days I am not called in and the weekends I am available! I have a cat whom is not to fond of other pets, especially in her home, but I am 100% willing to come to you. I require you to have a leash and harness if you would like me to walk your pet, this way I can ensure the safety of your pet and mine as well. I will let your pets outside to play as long as you give the okay and ONLY if the yard is fenced in. I will ask questions about your pet to help me better understand them, and if there is anything you would like to ask me please do not be afraid!! I’m great with communication so I will communicate a lot with you about your pet. Before I pet sit your pet for the first time, I would like to spend some time getting to know your pet with you present first. If there is anything else you would like to know please do not hesitate to ask!!

About: My names Jessica, I have 3 dogs a beagle and a pit mix, a cat, and a rabbit of my own. As many know you can only have so many animals of your own. Which is why I would enjoy helping others care for their animals. And bonus, I get to see and interact with more animals. I had pets as a child and have had my dogs since they were puppies my oldest is ten, the youngest being 5. I worked while in nursing school so I know life gets busy and it’s nice to have a helping hand you can rely on to care for your animals. I’m a registered nurse and have been in nursing for 11 years. Although I have enjoyed nursing, doing some type of dog daycare, boarding or walking has always been a dream of mine. So allow me to love your pets as you do and help! Currently my schedule varies, but I work 2 or 3 12 hours shifts a week as a nurse. I have a fiancé, friend, and parents who have helped me with my animals during busy times or vacations. As for my own pets, my three dogs get fed morning and evening. My cat has an automatic feeder that portions her foods out because she has a sensitive stomach. My rabbit lives in his hutch and visits inside at times, he eats lots of veggies and his pellets. His favorite green is cilantro! Unlimited water for all the animals of course. When the weather allows I like to walk my dogs. In the summer I also enjoy taking my dogs on our boat and they enjoy it to the fullest. I am looking to offer pet sitting and walking. The pet sitting would include going to the clients home letting out, feeding, and playing with the animals twice per day, if any special circumstances we can discuss and potentially work something out, and also if an animal would require medication I can do that as well. I’m open to dogs, cats, and rabbits only because that is what I’m familiar with.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs and I have had dogs during my adult life. I am an animal person who is attentive to each individual pets needs and personality. Patient, loving, and detail oriented. I'm here to provide great care when needed. I'm currently fully available for appointments and my hours are flexible. If my schedule changes, I will update this portion of the profile and give current clients an update. I don't plan on taking care of animals at my house but I am open to taking care of animals at your place. I will provide safe and loving care all within the guidelines provided.
