About: I’ve cared for pets from all walks of life, including small and large dog breeds, cats, and even specialty pets such as bearded dragons and fish. No matter what kind of companion you have, your family member will be in caring and capable hands with me. I also have several years of experience caring for high-maintenance, special-needs, and senior pets, so I understand the extra attention, patience, and individualized care they may require. Having worked in healthcare for several years as well, I recognize the trust involved in entrusting a loved one to someone new and take that responsibility seriously. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in booking or have any questions—I’d love to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet. I work full time during the week, but I am available most days after 4/5pm. I am usually open most weekends without time constraints I regularly rotate walks and runs with my own large, high-energy pups to help keep them active and happy. They eat twice a day and enjoy a mixed diet. My cats require a little less hands-on attention, but they can be higher maintenance due to their asthma and picky eating habits. While this is how I care for my own furry family, I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m always happy to adjust to your pet’s individual needs, routine, and preferences

“Madeline is wonderful. Very communicative. Felt like my pups were well cared for in my absence, and she even fed my cat for me while we were away and brought in our mail.”

“Couldn't be more happy with Masha. She's always on time and not afraid of my big girls.”

About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life, and have had my own dogs for 10+ years. Right now I have three- a tiny Chihuahua, a medium Carolina mix, and a HUGE Rhodesian Ridgeback. I trained them myself and they are my whole world! I would be happy to work on some training with your dog, I really have a passion for it.💜 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37 I work full-time, so I'm mostly available in the evenings. I am usually off on Sunday and Monday or Sunday and Friday so I have more time on those days. I can do whatever is required for each specific dog. I have no problem getting dogs in and out of crates, walking any size dog while working on leash manners if desired by the owner, feeding and playing, whatever your pup needs!

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

“Brian was great! My dog was recently spayed and he was patient with her and the e-collar and all the struggles that go along with that. He loves what he does and it’s noticeable with how he interacted with my dog.”

Eric M.

“Mary was awesome. I was very comfortable having her take care of our dog. That day had some inclement weather and she checked in to see how Kane does in the rain. He was a very happy boy when we got home, we will definitely use Mary again!”

Kayla B.

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young! I’ve had 5 dogs growing up and one of my very own into adulthood. I’ve also had 11 snakes, a guinea pig, and fish. I also currently have two of the best black cats in the world named Jasmine and Ozzy. I’ve pet sat since I was a young teen for family and friends. I have experience as well giving medications including insulin shots. I also have two of my own children and have a ton of experience with care and I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I’m currently going to school for Respiratory Therapist! I am in person Monday and Wednesday from 8-5 but besides that I am free! I customize your pets experience to their owners requests and pets needs! Your fur babies will always get the most love and care. If your dog loves outdoors then I will spend time with them outside. If they love to just be cuddled with and a good belly scratch then I can provide that! I want to make your animals feel safe and loved!

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my experience with a variety of dog breeds and ages. I've personally cared for my own dog for 4 years and regularly sit for a small bichon frise, gaining firsthand knowledge of both puppy phases and the unique needs of adult dogs. Additionally, my background includes dog sitting medium sized breeds like German Shepherds and Golden Doodles, ensuring tailored attention and support for dogs of different temperaments. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine, especially with the support of family members. I work part-time during the week but still ensure that our furry friends receive consistent care and attention. My family members are readily available to assist when needed, allowing for flexibility in scheduling walks, playtime, feeding, and other essential tasks. We have a fenced yard, keep floors clean, water is always out, keep a regular check and take them for frequent walks in the neighborhood

About: I’m a caring and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for my friend’s dog while they were away on vacation, including making sure they were fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands while you’re away, and I’ll treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and dog care during the week and on weekends. I’m typically available mornings and afternoons and can be flexible depending on your dog’s routine and needs. I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of their own home and follow their normal routine. I can take them on walks, play with them outside, give them plenty of attention and companionship, and keep them active throughout the day. With the owner’s permission, I’m also happy to take them on outings to places like Petco or the dog park. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

This may include plenty of treats, playtime, slow introductions, or even hand feeding when needed to help establish a positive bond and build trust between your pet and myself. My goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while providing patient, compassionate, and individualized attention.

“Jennifer did so great with our floofs! She took the time to get to know them and took pictures of the cuddles she got from them, which meant they were super comfortable with her!”

About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that goes along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.
