About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.
About: I have been pet sitting throughout all four years of high school and now that I am in college, I am looking for a summer job doing something I love which is spending time with animals. Pet care fits into my schedule as I will be home from college for the summer and looking for something that is low stress and enjoyable to fill my time. I always make sure to treat clients animals as if they were my own and with love and care. I always want to also make sure that they are getting all of their needs met and I will go always do my best to go above and beyond to give joy to animals in any way possible.

“Elizabeth was the best walker we’ve ever had for our dog. She took great pictures, went on long walks, and was reliable. When we can back from vacation our dog was in the best mood and you could tell he loved Elizabeth. Would highly recommend!”
About: Back in 2010 I began working at petsmart in their petshotel. It was my dream job and I loved every minute of it. I cared for the pets during the day. Fed and bathed them. I have two dogs of my own as well as two michevious cats. I currently work at a daycare during the week so I will have the weekends available. Anytime during the day is good. Just send me a message. I live in a apartment so I cannot care for you pet here but I can come to your home. Make sure you pup has lots of fun and cuddles
About: Life is simply better with a dog by your side—especially a big one! As a lifelong dog advocate, I believe every pup deserves to feel as safe, happy, and loved with me as they do with you. I know how important consistency is for your dog’s well-being. Whether it is meal times, walks, or naps, I will stick to their usual schedule to make your absence as smooth as possible. Fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs, or just couch cuddles—your dog’s idea of fun is my idea of a great day! However they love to play, I am all in. Having loved and lost my own soul-dog, I understand the trust you place in a sitter. My goal is to be that reliable, caring presence so you can relax knowing your pup is in devoted hands. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family—with patience, enthusiasm, and deep respect for their needs—let’s chat! Flexible in such that I can arrange other duties around the needs of clientele. I will try my absolute best to mend any scheduling conflicts for last minute needs as well. My default is in-home pet sitting because I believe a familiar environment reduces stress and keeps routines intact—which means a happier pup! That said, I always prioritize the individual needs of each pet and family. After meeting you and your dog, we will decide together what works best, whether that is staying in their home or another arrangement. My goal is simple: your pet’s comfort and safety, no matter where that takes us!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and did over night visits. For friends and family. I also have taken care of puppies that were 6 months. I’m currently working part time at Costco. I normally work night shift and have two days off. I could walk dogs in the morning or at night I normally feed them twice a day once in the morning and the other at night. I would walk them three or four times a day. I would then take them outside to either play or run around in a safe environment.

“Dihanna watched my 3-year-old French Bulldog, Luna, for five days while I traveled for a family emergency. Luna has a strict medication schedule and can be a bit anxious around new people, but Dihanna handled everything perfectly. She gave her meds on time, sent daily updates with pictures, and even got Luna to warm up and cuddle—something she rarely does! I came home to a calm, happy pup. I’m so thankful for Dihanna’s patience, love, and professionalism. Highly recommend her to any pet parent!”

Jessica D.
“A Truly Outstanding Experience I can't say enough good things about Jessica and the care she provided for our dog Bentley. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in her hands. She was incredibly professional, asking detailed questions about his routine, diet, and little quirks to make sure she was fully prepared. Throughout the stay, Jessica sent frequent photo updates and messages, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel like I was right there with them. She was patient and loving, and it was clear that Bentley felt right at home. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and a little tired from all the fun they had—which is always a great sign! Jessica is more than just a dog sitter; she's a true animal lover who treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her to any dog owner looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring service. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kimberly is an extremely devoted, kind, and caring person. She has a special way with animals and has cared for my three dogs (German Shepherd 3, Wheaton Terrier 2, and Jack Russell Terrier 9) numerous times. I put my full trust in her with my dogs, which is not easy because each of my dogs has their own set of standards and needs specific to the breed. Kim has proven time and again that she understands animal body language, is trustworthy, and has the patience and devotion to care for any fur-baby. I recommend her with full confidence and I am proud to have her as one of my pet care givers!”
