About: I have over 15 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own pets and petsitting for friends and family. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have three cats of my own and have experience administering various types of medication, including oral meds and topical treatments. I also regularly care for several community cats, so I’m comfortable working with shy, independent, and less social animals. Whether your pet is playful, anxious, energetic, or aloof, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care that meets their unique needs. I primarily work from home over the summer so I have extremely flexible hours in June, most of July, and part of August and can provide care any day of the week. Available in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I am fully an animal person, not a dog or cat person. I own three cats and grew up with dogs, and I love them all. Am willing to play, give scritches, or be ignored, all for the love of pets.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little, around 11 years old, but have lived with cats since I was 2 years old. I do have a senior cat, and ferret. Im experienced in giving cats, dogs and ferrets medication for health issues they have had in the past. I’m not expert in everything, but I’m not afraid to learn! I’m currently working full time, but enjoy a busy schedule and a good routine. If I need a specific day off, I can work it out. I’ve been working since I was 14, it has made me more responsible, reliable, and determined. I have two cats, and one ferret, I'm fully responsible for them. I take care of their daily care, vet visits, trim their nails, give them baths, and everything in between. They have been under my care for more than 5 years. I’ve had experience with rodents, birds, and dogs.

About: Hello, my name is Rylie! I am such a dog lover! Although I never owned one myself, I enjoy taking care of others to fill that void. I have been dog sitting since I was about 10 years old for multiple neighbors. Many would describe me as responsible and passionate since a very young age. I even attended many dog training classes for a puppy I babysat for two years. I am excited to continue my journey of taking care of dogs and other animals and ensure that owners will have enjoy time away without any stresses. I have lots of available time throughout the day to take pets on walks, feed, and check up on. I can ensure you that your pets are my top priority. The first and last thing I do before leaving a client’s house is checking the perimeters of the house to make sure assure there were no accidents made. I make sure there’s nothing your pets can get a hold of and chew on while I am taking care of them.

“This is our first time using Rover and Holly has been so wonderful! Not only is she on time and reliable, she is great at communicating and my dog is so happy for his walks! She happily incorporates his training during his walks and checks in with us, asking questions when needed to make sure she is doing everything right. I would highly recommend 🐾”

About: I love all animals and enjoys their company. I'd love to take care of your dog(s) and cats while you're away, so you don't have to worry. When I'm not traveling, I work from home full time, so animals will have plenty of attention and go outside pretty frequently. I have a large yard on rural property and there's a dirt road to get in a several walks. Your dog will have supervised and/or leashed access to the outdoors. There's a lot of room to run. I have had experience handling medications for animals for several years, as my cocker spaniel took medications for glaucoma and congestive heart failure. You can trust that your pup will be spoiled here, like one of my very own. :) I am currently home full time but job hunting so animals have care 24/7. Hoping to find remote work but if this changes I will update here. My animals are friendly with all dogs. I keep all dogs leashes while outdoors. We make sure all doors are closed and all food and poison items are not within reach

“Shyanne was so patient and kind with my dog Ronnie. She paid close attention to all the details and was so nice to talk to. I really appreciated the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: We provide care in our home and treat your babies like our own. We walk them multiple times a day, love on them, take them on field trips when possible, we spoil them rotten. We can help with crate training, potty training, house Manners etc. We have experience with Senior dogs ( most recent passed this December 2024 at 15 years old). I have had diabetic pets so am willing to administer meds as required. I have volunteered with a local rescue for 4 years now and have fostered for that long as well and have experience dealing with many difficult behaviors like resource guarding, counter surfing and more. Here at Bark n Kuddles we are a husband and Wife team so our dogs are very rarely alone. I teach high school so during the school day my husband takes the pups on walks, and outings and provides play time and snuggle time. When I am home we share the responsibilities and our kids are trained so they love on your babies too but they know boundaries and are very good at being mini pack leaders. The only time your pet would be alone is if we had to go somewhere as a family where dogs could not come but we have two pups of our own to keep them company but again that is rare that someone is not home. We only take one or two clients at a time as we have a small home but we take the dogs out on walks (Distance depends on the dogs need but could be 2 to 3 miles easily) and I have access to a big fenced in yard that my family owns should dogs need off leash time and play time (under our watch at all times of course). We do crate dogs when home alone for their safety and to protect the house but they get yummy kongs with frozen treats and other treats as long as owner is ok with it. We love on them how the pups want to be loved on. If they want to lay next to us we let them. If they prefer to just chill off to the side that's all good too. We also follow all owners instructions whether in our home or yours and give your baby the attention they need to keep them happy and safe while you are gone.

“My dog loves when she shows up to walk him. Sydney was great. She was always on time and quite interested to make sure everything was okay for my guy.”

About: I have always had a soft spot for animals. I began working in the medical field but realized my heart was in the place to care for animals instead. I have my own "misfit farm" of unwanted animals and in my down time I am taking on dog walking/pet sitting. I am knowledgeable in many animals including dogs, cats birds, small animals, exotics and farm animals. I currently own a Great Pyrenees, Can Corso, Miniature dachshund, a cat plus 3 rescue goats, bunnies and a ton of chickens. I can also help with basic training and using an E collar. Medications or special needs animals is also something I am comfortable with. I do have kids who love to go on walks with me when I am dog walking, but it is not necessary for them to come with . My dog sitting calendar is filling up quickly! At this moment I am boarding dogs on a case by case basis so just reach out and we can chat! I am available for house sitting, however cannot accommodate regular overnight stays but can accommodate frequent and lengthy visits. I am a mom to 3, but am pretty much open and available for your needs. Hanging out with animals is a strong passion of mine and I often use the extra cash to do things with my kids. I cannot accommodate overnights in my house sitting but can offer lengthy and frequent visits I am available for walking, feeding, caring, loving and walking your babies of whatever species and breed. I am extremely responsible and comfortable with administering medication if need be and am very cautious when it comes to walking or letting the animal outside or when it comes to rules you have for your pet. There is very little I wouldn't be able to do, so little I can't even think of one at the moment. You can trust that I will love and care for your animals like they were my own. I can even show you pictures and videos of my very spoiled pets for reference!

About: I enjoy being around animals, fur babies are the sweetest. I try my best to make sure they are comfortable around me and not push them to like me right away, I am so use to watching my own pets that now that my dogs have passed I have all this time available. My routine stays the same for me. Providing food water, exercise, walks are amazing for pets to help with their mood. Clear countertops to ensure dogs don’t have access to garage bags, even if I’m in a fence yard supervise pets during outdoor activities. Very mindful of potential hazards. Provide a comfortable environment for the pet.

About: Our pets are pampered princesses, and we'll spoil yours just as much! Whether it's a walk down the street, a bubble bath or an overnight playdate, we'll treat them like family. Our online availability doesn't show much, but we'd still love the chance to help you care for your fur baby. Contact us! We'd love to discuss your needs and how we can help! Fenced in yard with plenty of sunshine, and a pet bed in almost every room of the house. If you're okay with it - we love taking fur babies to nearby parks and trails.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 16. From neighbors to friends, I love taking care of animals and giving them what they need. I am currently unemployed so I can check in multiple times a day throughout the week. I do prefer mornings and evenings instead of nights I prefer taking care of pets in my client’s home. I will follow the instructions my client provides for how their pet needs to be treated.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time at a grooming salon as a pet bather. And I have experience working at an animal hospital and a pet sitting company. I’m able to watch any sized dog and any age from puppies to seniors. I also offer simple grooming services! I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night. I am unable to board dogs at my own home but at a clients home I can take your dogs for both short and long walks. I can even take them to a park for a nature hike. I will feed them at their scheduled times and if wanted by owners I can crate them. If medication is needed I am comfortable with giving it to them. I will give them plenty of love and lots of playtime. If wanted I can also give nail trims, brushing, ear cleaning and baths as I work full time as a pet bather.

About: I have house/dog sat for 7+ years now around my old neighborhood. I have cared for pets (cats and dogs) of many ages and breeds. I am experienced with giving your fur babies the medications that they may need and the amount of exercise they require. I am experienced with caring for young and old dogs and will personalize care however you prefer. My pup requires a long walk every day so I am used to walking long distances if needed; it is completely up to you to decide! I have a SUPER friendly boxer. He plays very well with other dogs, big and small. He loves all dogs, humans, cats, you name it. I also currently foster for a Belgian Malinois rescue and have a ~2yo mal foster. She is also friendly and does well with dogs but prefers neutrality. If your dog isn’t friendly or prefers alone time, that is also fine! I am easily able to separate dogs so that they can have a neutral environment. I work from home currently, so I am available to take the pups out whenever they need. My dogs usually get a long walk (1-4 miles) and any dogs I watch are welcome to join! If they cannot handle a longer walk they can get a shorter walk before or after my dog’s walk. I leave for about an hour a day to work out or run errands. At most I’m gone 2 hours from my house. I live in a neighborhood and have a semi large yard. My yard is not fenced but I have long lines (leashes) that I will take your dog out on to run and get exercise if they do not prefer walks. They will always be supervised and on-leash outside to prevent any accidents!

About: I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, coworkers and neighbors since I was 18 and I love every wagging tail and slobbery kiss that comes with it! Whether it’s a couch potato or a zoomie, I’m here for walks, treats (with permission!), and all the love. From puppies to seniors, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work part-time with a very flexible schedule, which means I’ve got lots of wiggle room (and tail wags!) in my schedule to hang out with your pets. I’m available for boarding on week days and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe outdoor play. I’m happy to follow any routine your pup is used to, and can easily crate if needed, whatever makes your pet feel most at ease!

About: I have had family pets my entire life. I currently have one pup at home, and often take care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town! I work from 8 to 3, and am available to take care of pets before and after work on weekdays. My weekends are completely free and I stay local for holidays! I am off during the summer so I am available whenever you need me! I am very detail oriented when taking care of peoples pets, because I know how I want my fur baby to be treated! I also pay close attention to the mood of animals when taking care of them to ensure the best possible interaction.

About: Hello, I grew up with dogs and cats and now have my own little homestead. We have two dogs, one cat, and many chickens! I can take care of your indoor and outdoor pets. Currently going to school full time online while my children are in school. Coming to your house to walk/feed would be no problem for me. Also if you choose to board within my home, I am home so no worries about potty breaks or if they will alone for hours. I would be able to walk your dog, cat, or Guinea during the day while you’re away (up to 10/15 miles away). I can offer boarding for your cat or dog (or any indoor animal). We do have our own pets but I can separate if you’d like. We do not have a fenced in yard but I am home all day so potty breaks would never be a problem 😊 I can offer in home care for small caged animals as well. We love all animals 😊 🐓🐭🐰🦎🐸 Boarding or drop-ins are easy for me as I go to school online and can easily leave when needed 😊 I’m pretty open to my time frames and have been able to work with everyone. Just like you, I love my animals and try to give them the best life possible. Either sleeping on my couch or sun bathing on the porch.
