About: I began taking care of both dogs and cats 5 years ago, giving me solid experience with both species. My regular volunteer pet-sitting gigs let me bring extra attention and compassion to every animal. I’m reliable, punctual and communicative, sending frequent photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I follow your instructions closely and adapt to each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they stay comfortable and stress free while you’re away. I’m a pet lover and find joy in provided great care to your pet. I’m currently a college student at home for the summer, with open availability for you and your needs. During the week, I’m completely flexible, with my weekends being slightly busier. Reach out and let’s figure out a time that works for us both! I’m very detailed oriented and organized. Any instructions you provide will be seen and checked thoroughly to ensure the privacy and safety of you and your pet.

About: I have owned a dog since I was a little girl. They are my family. My friends and family trust me to take care of their fur babies of all kinds. I love all animals and treat them with great care. I currently work part-time, and they are graveyard shifts. On my days off I am home day and night with the pets. Sometimes I will take them for a walk or to the dog park but mostly stay at home and play in the backyard or in the house too. I have a fenced back yard and dog of my own that is friendly and likes to play. However, if you like your pet in a crate at times, I can do that too.

About: I have taken care of all breeds and sizes of dogs, trained and untrained. I currently have a working Dutch shepherd “Thirza” who I do competitive obedience and Shutzhund with. Give me a shout and let me know what you need! I work as a big game guide in the spring and fall, so my summer and winter months are totally open. All day everyday I can make whatever time/ days work. I throughly believe in a good “on” and “off” switch for dogs. Knowing when to expend energy is very valuable. If I’m doing home visits or walking your furry friend I will keep my energy very calm and maintain that good inside behavior. Until we get out then we can play, train and walk hard!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two golden retrievers! She was very communicative and made sure to send us pictures everyday. We hate leaving our babies but Tatum made it more bearable!!”


“We didn't hesitate to contact Hayley when we just needed someone to care for our kitty for one visit, because she had given excellent care during a long trip. So thankful that Hayley was available! Her diligence in not only doing essential physical things, but going beyond and gently trying to connect and give companionship to our shy cat Tribble, is so appreciated. We highly recommend Hayley, thank you!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10years and have cared for many different dogs breeds from young to senior. I was raised around many types of animals including horses, dogs, cats. My love for animals shows in my ability to be patient and assess their individual needs. Your animal will be well taken care of and have you feeling worry free. In my home I feed animals 2 times a day at 8am and 8pm. I take dogs out to go to the bathroom at 7:30am, 11:30am, 3:00pm, 6:00pm and lastly at 9:00pm. If your animals needs to go out after that I will do so. I have an unfenced yard but use a staked leash in the ground. I also can take them out on your leash if your more comfortable with that, but if your dog is a jumper (needing a 6ft fence) he/ she will be leashed walked for potty time and can walk them for a good period of time. Everyday at the best weathered part of the day or around noon I will be taking your fur-baby out for at least an hour walk or go to the dog park/ run if allowed during longer stays (more than 2 days). For the animals that I will be taking care of at their home I will feed them on the schedule that you have for them already and as close to those times as possible. I will take them on a 30 min walk at least once a day and give take them out to go to the bathroom once in the morning and once in the evening. If you let me know what needs to be done and it will be done as close to the times as possible Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or allergies i.e. seasonal and/or food so I can take the appropriate measures to insure he/she has a wonderful time within those limits. I also request that you let me know of any behavioral needs that he/she has ahead of time. for example if they get along with other dogs and animals, or pull on there leash ( mainly for bigger dogs) etc.

About: Hi, I’m Lexi! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and it’s truly my passion. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pet like my own. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, large breeds, and multi-dog households, so I’m confident and calm in any situation. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk, some extra patience, or just a loving companion while you’re away, I’m here to help. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. Let’s get those tails wagging! I have 3 large dogs I take care of daily. I absolutely love working with animals. I take them on multiple walks daily. I’ve built taking care of them into my schedule of taking care of me. We do pretty much everything together. I do not offer services in my home. I am primarily looking for short sitting opportunities as well as daily visits and walks or things of that nature. I will also gladly give updates.

“Jessica was fantastic. My prior cat acomidations where traumatic for me and my kitty and she responded instantly and it completely deflated a bad situation into a really good visit. She never made me feel batty for checking in and was available and empathetic to our situation. I left a scared upset cat and came back to him happy, healthy and handsome as ever.”

Our kids have different personalities and she welcomed them and took great care of our pack. We know she has a real love for dogs and we are grateful for her service! If we are ever in Columbia, our dogs would 'beg' to see Cynthia again. :)”

“I would highly recommend Lani for your Pet Care needs. She adores doggies and is very caring and loving with them. She makes sure they always have attention by playing and interacting. She would be a good choice for your pet needs.”


Nicholas H.
“Nicholas is unbelievably amazing. Yes I understand those are large shoes to fill but I mean every bit of it. When it came to taking care of my Labrador named Luna, he not only went above and beyond, but did so in the most loving, caring, and respectful way! He took care of my home while I was out of town, he always fed Luna on time, and even spent time training Luna some more manors! Luna not only loved him, but my wife and I did as well. He’s great with dogs, he’s great around the house, and he’s an even better person to have take care of so many responsibility's. Nicholas is the only person I would use going forward to trust with my home and my pets. It is rewarding to know that everything is taken care of and safe while we are gone!”
