“Logan is outstanding. We have four energetic dogs and he handled them like a pro! We appreciated getting the pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had pets since I was a toddler. I’ve always took care of my pets, my grandparents pets & I’m really good with animals. I’m usually always available! I’m self employed and do instacart, doordash, Rover, Uber, Uber Eats, etc so I can usually fit anything into my schedule! I have a yard. (It’s not fenced in yet, working on it.) I’m a huge animal person so your animals will always be well taken care of & loved in my care.
About: I worked at PetSmart for approximately 5 years & have experience with basic grooming needs. I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I work from home & am able to stay with your pets while you are out of town or at work yourself. I can check in on them during the day, take them for walks, & ensure they are fed and well loved. I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.

“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”

“Jamie was amazing! It was our first time getting a sitter so we were definitely very nervous. But she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Her apartment was clean and spacious. She even sent us pictures and made a video of the dog! I can’t Recomended Jamie enough! Thank you so much.”

About: I was raised on an animal farm so my family has had almost every animal you can think of! I love animals so much & I would love to help take care of your furry friend while they are waiting for your return :) I will try my best to work with your schedule! Right now, my job is flexible, so figured this would be another great flexible part time job have :) I don't mind coming to your house if it’s easier! OR they are free to roam my clean house! Each week is relaxing but I can honestly say that having so much free time can be boring so this would be a lovely addition to my weekly routine. I let your dog snuggle with me and watch movies if they like! If they aren’t a snuggle bunny then they can roam my house and choose a cozy section their prefer!
“Lori is excellent working with and walking my dogs. She has taken the time to get to know them both individually. She knows what helps motivate them on the walks. I truly appreciate finding her to help with dog sitting and regular dog walks.”

“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Alexa was wonderful. I can't say enough about her. Our pups quickly fell in love with her and we left knowing the feeling was mutual. We didn't worry about them nor the house at all and were able to enjoy ourselves. We don't travel much but will definitely use Alexa again!”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals ever since I was a child including dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have extensive experience in handling and caretaking of dogs. I volunteer and walk dogs at animal shelters near me. I am available any day of the week at this time. I can board, walk and sit for animals in my home or their owner’s homes. My first and foremost concern is the animals wellbeing. So I can go to their home if that’s the best option for them and the owner. I can also board in my home. I currently have 1 senior cat who is rather shy but has been around dogs and other cats in the past. I have a big yard where I can take and walk dogs outside to play and exercise. I could also crate if it’s needed.
About: I grew up on a farm in Louisiana and have taken care of pets my whole life. I used to have German Shepards but more recently have had English French bulldogs, and a beagle. I work from home so have the extra time to go for long walks. I’d love to help out someone with their pet while I enjoy it anyway I keep constant watch on them and keep them in the area of house I am in at all times. It is a animal friendly home
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I’ve taken care of my senior dog for years, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to support older dogs’ needs. I’ve also been around puppies and high-energy dogs my entire life, as my grandparents board Border Collies. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I focus on making every dog feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Pet care is a constant part of my daily routine. I regularly care for my senior dog, who is blind and deaf, making sure he gets the stimulation he needs and is fed the correct food at the proper times. I also have a cat living with me, so I make time every day for her playtime, affection, meals, and treats. Caring for pets is already built into my schedule, allowing me to give consistent and attentive care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain clean and secure spaces, and pay close attention to pets’ routines and behaviors. I’m especially mindful of doors, feeding schedules, and creating a calm environment to reduce stress. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet with patience, respect, and attentive care to help them feel safe and at ease.
“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”

About: I have raised and taken care of all kinds of dogs from Collies to German shepherds to beagles. I love walking dogs and caring for them. I work from home and I am home almost every night. I can walk your dogs multiple times throughout the day. I can take dogs on multiple bathroom breaks throughout the day. I can easily feed your dog or cat multiple times throughout the day and night. I have administered prescriptions for dogs and cats numerous times. I love taking care of pets.
“Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!”

I allow plenty of care time for your fur family. I will conform to the guidelines and needs of your fur baby in order to give the best care possible and make fur parents just as satisfied. Whatever you want or need I’m there for your family!
About: I’ve had experience with training puppies and dealing with aggressive dogs and animals of all ages. I’ve also worked with cats and have learned how to accommodate any needs they might need! I’m currently available Monday to Sunday from 11am. As long as it’s within a 24 hour notice, I can definitely work around your schedule anytime! I always love carrying snacks, toilet bags, and water for dogs and providing occasional treats! I’m also very patient with all animals and love playing with them!
About: I’m a huge pet lover since I was a couple years old bringing stray animals home! I have 3 pups that are my world! I promise I will treat your pets as if they were mine. I have 5 years of experience as a vet tech so you can rest assured your babies are in good hands as I’ve had training in all kinds of medical situations with all ages of cats, dogs, birds, and most reptiles! I left my job as a vet tech to stay home with my baby the past year and I’m so grateful for that. Now that he’s getting older I am excited to get back into pet care. You can be at ease knowing your pets are in good hands and safe with me. I am a stay at home mom to a one year old so my schedule is very open. Whatever your needs I have the flexibility to make it work. I will pay very close attention to all your instructions and tips to best take care of your pets. I also have a great background in caring for animals so I know what to be cautious of.
