About: CURRENT WORK SCHEDULE: MON/WED/SAT: 10am-3pm THUR: 3PM-8PM SUN: 1pm-6pm I deal with animals of all kinds and ages! I'm a professional bather, so I take care of pets one on one during my shifts and also clean up cute shelter dogs that are looking for homes! I also have worked in the pet care services for 4 years in retail. I'm a part time bather so my schedule is subject to randomly change. I can be pretty accommodating depending on what services are needed. If you're flexible I'm flexible! I keep a constant watch on all the animals I take care of. Also Keeping them occupied with toys and treats (if allowed) so they aren't looking to cause trouble.

About: I have previous vet clinics experience. This includes but isn't limited to, grooming, kenneling, day care, medical, and vet assistant. Animals are my passion and I think I may spoil them more than myself. I am very lenient on times and requests. I will also groom for an extra fee if desired. I will take your dogs for a walk, bring toys to play fetch or just let them me cuddle them. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, I am an open book. If you have a special request feel free to ask me and I will do my best to assist you. . . . . . . . . . . . . I am here to help your fur baby! I am currently working fully remote. I Have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for easy access. I am able to section my home into several areas to ensure your baby is monitored or can be left alone.I love to run and hike. If you baby is able, we go to the state park for swimming, walk / run the subdivision, or hit a rail trail. Being I am home full time, they are always being monitored. Fully fenced yard with no holes to escape. If your dog is a senior and wants to enjoy quite time, I can section the home to ensure he/she is not pestered. I have several dog beds throughout the home. If your dog is young and wants to play, in the fenced yard we can play fetch or he/she can play with my Mini Bernie Doodle, Otis.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience, from helping care for my aunt’s sweet Newfie mix to growing up with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pup is unique, and I tailor to their needs; whether it’s keeping up with a high energy puppy or providing gentle support and love for senior dogs. I’m reliable, loving, and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. Your furry friend(s) will be in great hands! I have school on Tuesday but not till the afternoon. I’m usually busy most weekends but if you book in advance I might be able to clear up a weekend. I love pets, I’m hoping to maybe do walks and such either before or after my classes during the week. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care. In your home, I’ll keep them company and stick to their routine. And I will snuggle with them and play with them as much as I can.

About: I worked in a boarding center for dogs and cats while their owners were away. There, I had training in caring for many different breeds and sizes of dog, including giving them medications, scheduling play time and potty breaks, and walks. Friends and family all rely on me to watch their pets while they're away, and that's because I genuinely love and care for every animal I come across! I've owned animals my whole life, and right now have one cat named Roxas who I love with my whole heart. I'm self employed from home, so my schedule and availability are extremely open and flexible! Whenever you need, chances are I'll be available to watch after your fur baby! I live in a quiet, nice apartment complex. I don't have a fenced in yard, but would keep your dog leashed while out for potty breaks if boarding. I also have home security cameras installed. I value you and your pets safety and privacy!

About: I've worked with animals off all kinds, ages, sizes, and requirements since I was 10. Everyone i know comes to me for pet help/care. I take a special intrest in training. I currently have a border collie mix who i practice sports such as agility and bikjoring. She also love trick training and obedience training. I was in a vet course in high school for two years so I've got plenty of experience with all sizes and species of animals. There i learn how to give oral medication, signs of parasites/disease, dog body language and the importance of mental & physical stimulation that sent me on my way to being a dog nerd. My job has me working weekends during the slow season and being an active person I need something to fill my off time. So I have Monday- Thursday to work with your schedule. I have worked with reactive animals as well as own one so im exceptional at dog body language and i focus on making a dogs walk/Visit as stress-free as possible. My experience with reactive dogs helps me stay patient and calm in stressful situations.

“Alisa was great! We needed help in a pinch when my dad had surgery in Ohio. She worked around our schedules to meet our pup last minute! She responded quickly and was so sweet with our Hound!”

About: Hi there! I’m Katie, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years. I grew up surrounded by pups of all kinds—big, small, young, senior, purebred, and rescue—so understanding their unique personalities and needs comes naturally to me. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or helping with medication and routines, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love, patience, and care I’ve given mine my whole life! I’m a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule and no other job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether it’s daily visits, overnights, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to fit into their routine. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. While my backyard isn’t fenced, I have a secure in-ground leash for safe outdoor time, and there’s also an open field nearby where pets can play using a 15ft leash if they enjoy more space. Inside, your pet will feel right at home with my super friendly dog and two curious (but respectful) kitties. I provide a cozy, supervised environment full of love, playtime, and attention based on your pet’s needs and personality. In Client Homes: I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep things comfortable and consistent. I offer feeding, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and plenty of affection. I always treat your pet—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: Hi there! I’m Carla, a lifelong animal lover with a full, happy home of dogs of my own. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities—senior snugglers, shy pups, high-energy adventurers, and everything in between. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every dog like one of my own. Your pup’s comfort, routine, and happiness come first. Whether they like calm cuddle time, playful walks, or a mix of both, I adjust to what they need. I’ve spent years caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages, so I’m confident in handling multiple temperaments. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to the little things that help a dog feel safe and relaxed. If you're looking for someone dependable who truly enjoys being around animals, I’d love to help! I’m here to make sure you feel at ease, and your pet feels right at home! I am available most weekdays and weekends, at any time. I have a very open / flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate you! I live in Michigan, near Saginaw Bay, but am willing to travel anywhere in the state or country. I have 2 sons that live in St. Petersburg, FL, and am that way as much as I can to see them. I care for pets in their own home by following instructions carefully, maintaining a clean and safe environment, respecting the home, and ensuring pets feel calm, secure, and loved.

About: Hi there! As much as I enjoy clinical therapy, I also have formal training as a vet tech and several years of experience in the field. I care strongly for cats as much as dogs, and my innate feelings of love, sensitivity, empathy and compassion make me truly happy in their presence! Even though I’ve had cats my whole life, I’m very experienced with dogs as well, in both formal and informal settings. I’m completely comfortable administering medications, giving injections (Ex: Insulin), administering fluids, taking care of sick/elderly/ICU pets, changing bandages, walking, feeding, playing with, and loving your furry friends. 💜 Please note: prices for my services are flexible for recurring services and in situations with multiple pets. My schedule is flexible and I am currently looking for part time work in the area. I will prioritize my time in order to take care of your beloved family member. I am reliable and dependable, and always put 100% of myself into caring for pets. It would be an honor to take care of yours, and you can trust that I will always do a thorough and loving job. No excuses.

About: My Husband and I have had pets in our family since we both could walk. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats ourselves that are treated better than many humans. We understand the struggle of finding the right fit for your babies when you need to travel and are happy to provide as many updates and pictures as needed to make sure you are comfortable with their care. For Puppies, we both have gone through the puppy phase a few times and understand their needs and chaotic tendencies. All of our animals are up to date on their shots. As a bonus, we both work from home, so your pets will get constant love and attention. We will also be happy to help with any other special care needs such as medications, special diets, brushing, teeth brushing, etc. Our animals are very used to new friends and play nice and we have a big backyard for your baby's enjoyment. If your pet stays with us, they will be loved like family! We both work from home, so, we are able to give potty breaks and enrichment breaks frequently throughout the day. Someone will always be home when we are boarding. We live in a house and have a large fenced in yard. All of our animals have their current vaccinations. We have a large Kennel for our Shepard for when we have to leave the house.

Whether that be playing in a fenced backyard, taking walks, runs, or just chilling with your pups!

About: I've always loved animals of every kind. Growing up we've owned everything from rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, ferrets, and even a fox. For years, Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, because they know I'll take care of them as if they were my own. I'm currently available for late afternoons on Friday's and available on weekends. Message me if you have any questions. My children love meeting new puppies and being able to help take care of them.
