Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!

About: I have done both walking and house sitting for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown exact breed but some sort of terrier mix (mom was a JRT). While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired

About: Pets have always been a big part of my life. Dogs are deeply important to me as I see them for the intelligent emotional beings they are. They deserve all the love, attention, and nourishment from us and that is what I strive to provide. You can be assured that your pet will be treated positively and cared for preciously. Every pet in my care is treated with love like my very own fur baby. I enjoy learning about every animal's personality and quirks. I have house-trained multiple puppies. I have cared for my senior rescue pet, PearlJam, who had medical concerns for over 4 years (deaf, vision loss, lung diseases). I currently have a 5yr old Golden-doodle, Pretzel, who loves making new friends. I work from home and I am generally available all day to be with pets. I enjoy daily walks and/or jogs with a pet that benefits from the activity. For the lovey-dovey pets, they are most welcome to accompany me right on my lap or in a cozy bed next to my desk as I work. My home will be just like a home away from home for your pet. I will stick to your plans for your pet and try to go above expectations over the time you trust me with your furbaby.

About: Hi! I’m the person my family and friends always call when they need someone to watch their pets. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even fostered over 40 kittens 💙. I genuinely love animals, and they always seem to make themselves right at home with me. I am a full time teacher and currently have the whole summer off, so my schedule is pretty open. I am also available overnight if needed. I have a fenced yard but I also love going for walks with my dog. My cat is indoor and has his feelings on a schedule.

About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

About: I’m a Special Education Teacher who just adores dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I have two dogs of my own, and, until recently, a beautiful cat. I know it can be difficult to leave your pets in the care of others. Rest assured, they will be well taken care of and happy. Since I’m on summer break, my schedule is very flexible during the months of July and August. Once school is in session, I will be available most weekday evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have two dogs of my own, so I would not be available to board or pet sit overnight. I am available for walks, drop in visits, day visits, meal times throughout the day. I would be respectful of your home and loving and attentive towards your pet.

Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old. I am used to recognizing and responding to their needs and treating them with the utmost care and affection. I have experience with walking my own dogs, one of which was a large dog and the other is small, so I know what to expect when walking a dog of any size. I also know to be very vigilant while on dog walks and to be cautious of other dogs, when I take my own dogs on walks I avoid any interaction between them and other dogs we may see on our route because you just never know the temperament of another persons dog. I am a college student currently on summer break so my schedule is very open, which means I have ample time to help your pups get their steps in! I am available Monday-Friday from 11am- 3pm to take your furry friends on walks. I will care for your fur baby like my own during our walks. I am extremely attentive and will keep your pup from eating random things on the ground, keep them away from cars and anything else that could pose as danger.

About: I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and ability to adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or older and needing extra care, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize giving them consistent attention and care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care throughout the week. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free while their owner is away. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walking schedules, medication needs, and household rules while making sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise.

About: I’m a CTRS and I have trained my dogs one of which is a a therapy dog that at times I will take to work. I normally do at least 15 minutes of training with my pups! I’m off Sunday Monday and Tuesday fully, and my partner is off Saturday. My day starts off walking my dogs then letting them outside to play. Your dog would be apart of that. I have a fenced backyard and a bunch of toys. The day starts off going for a walk around the block then I let the dogs run outside in the back. After that they come inside to relax and eat breakfast. I let them play in the house and sometimes chill out with their bone always supervised. 😊

About: With over 30 years of trusted pet sitting experience, I provide loving, reliable care rooted in a deep belief that animals are a true gift—offering unconditional love, loyalty, and joy just by being themselves. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for a 4-year-old Ragdoll cat who is truly part of the family, and her needs are woven into each day—feeding, playtime, grooming, and quiet companionship. Weekly routines include maintaining a clean, comfortable environment and ensuring she feels safe, loved, and engaged. This consistent, attentive care reflects how I treat every pet: like a cherished family member who deserves patience, affection, and genuine connection. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, pets are treated like family—given a calm, safe environment with structured feeding times, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I maintain a clean space and keep their routine as close to home as possible to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I focus on consistency and respect for the pet’s familiar environment. I follow detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, litter or yard maintenance, exercise, and companionship. I also provide regular updates for peace of mind. With over 30 years of experience, my approach is always patient, attentive, and rooted in genuine love for animals, ensuring they feel secure and cared for at all times.
