About: I have a high drive working German Shepherds, and husky. I have always been full of energy and taking care of crackhead dogs give me a lot of patience, so puppies and active dogs are my favorite and specialty! And I've been bitten and scratched enough times, it almost tickles... Almost During hot months my dogs are given all attention in the evening/at night and during cold months my dogs are given all attention in the afternoon so there is a period of time where I can help take care of yours outside of pet care and work! I will make sure to follow strict instructions and be very attentive and watchful of your pup! My own dogs schedule consist of playing, walking, training, cuddling, feeding and potty every 4-6 hours! And I would love to treat your pet with the same amount of needs whenever you feel you can't! No dog left behind!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was ten years old. My little sister and I were quite the entrepreneurs, and created our own pet-sitting business in our neighborhood, taking care of our neighborhood pets. I absolutely love taking care of animals and am highly interested in a career working with them. I also have a fur baby of my own! I currently am working part-time and taking a gap semester, so I generally have open availability and can make time to stay overnight or drop by easily! I currently do not do boarding, however I do house sitting and drop-in visits, giving your pets the safety of their own home. Every pet that I take care of I treat like one of my own!

About: I’ve cared for critters including opossums, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, pigs, chickens & more! I have such a deep love for animals, which makes caring for them never feel like a job. Pets left in my care are in the best care possible. I am currently working part time, which makes it very easy to care for animals at the same time. I usually have 3 whole days off per week and my shifts are typically no longer than 6 hours. I typically do whatever makes the pet and the owner most comfortable, such as regular drop-in’s, overnight stays at the pets home, sleeping next to the pet. I keep up with any typical needs of the pet such as bathing, walking, etc. and I also like to keep the owner updated and send photos.

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.

About: I’m Kierstin, an animal lover and a dedicated pet care provider with over 15 years of experience. As a proud pet parent myself, I understand that your furry friends are part of the family. It is my mission to provide a loving environment for your pets, with a focus on personalized care and safety, along with regular updates. I currently work remotely at home, so your pets will never feel alone and their set schedules and sense of normalcy can remain in place. I have a fenced yard to allow for outside playtime and a friendly dog of my own who loves to make friends! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I maintain a clean, secure environment to keep your pet safe and happy.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs of all personalities, from easygoing labs to high energy, sometimes anxious heelers. That taught me early on how to read animal behavior, stay patient, and build trust with pets at their own pace! In college, I started out studying pre vet before following my passion into wildlife biology, and I’ll be starting grad school this fall studying ecology and evolution with a focus on wildlife. I also spent a summer working with a nonprofit dog rescue in Houston, Texas, helping save dogs from the streets and from kill shelters. It was hands on and sometimes challenging, but really rewarding. I helped with medications, cared for dogs with all kinds of temperaments, and made sure each one felt safe and cared for. I truly believe every animal is special and deserves patience, understanding, and a little extra love. I’ve always found it easy to connect with animals, and I love seeing even shy or anxious pets start to relax and show their personality. Right now I’m saving up for grad school, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than being around animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own! I currently have Wednesday's and Thursday's off. I am free all day to take your pups on a mid day walk or keep them company while you are out of town! The rest of my week I work from 9:00-6:00 so my availability is more limited. I live on acreage in the Veneta area. Our property is mostly fenced and includes an orchard, a creek, and plenty of space for play and adventure! I have one pup of my own who absolutely loves other dogs. He’s a medium-sized herding dog who would be thrilled to show a new friend around the property. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always strive to be a respectful and gracious guest. I’m a very tidy, thoughtful person and take great care to leave your home exactly as you left it, if not better! I believe it’s incredibly valuable for animals to remain in an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals and believe that a calm, warm demeanor, along with a consistent routine, is key to making sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

“Tori is simply the best. She’s so kind and patient with our two dogs. She is dependable and trustworthy. We are SO lucky to have found her!”

Kaylee W.

“Misti is absolutely amazing!! She has been taking him for regular walks for about a month and she always takes such good care of him. It is so nice to not have to worry about my dog when I’m gone! I absolutely recommend!!”

About: I would be an ideal candidate for dog sitting and walking because I have years of hands-on experience caring for family dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, which helps me build trust with both pets and their owners. As a stay-at-home mom with one son, I have a flexible daily routine and open availability throughout the week. My days include staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, which gives me plenty of time and energy to care for dogs. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and a safe, loving environment for pets while their owners are busy or away. “I can provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for dogs in my home. I’m a stay-at-home mom with one son and two friendly dogs, so visiting pets would receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and I can provide a crate if needed to help dogs feel secure and comfortable during their stay.

“Very responsive and sent great pics of our dog. We will definitely work with Mia again!”

About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

About: Since childhood I have been caretakers to dogs, cats, hamsters and even fish. I even saved my parents cats life using a cpr technique used on infants. I have been a door dash driver for years as it easily fits into my lifestyle, recently adding grub hub and instacart to my resume. This will fit perfectly into my schedule. I live on property with my family on about an acre of fenced yard very dog friendly. I let my dog have free reign of the property. I would care for your animal as you specify and with great attention to detail.

About: I've had pets and have done animal husbandry all my life. I have two medium sized dogs who get along great with others. Large fenced yard is loved by all. My husband and I are retired and home all day most days. We have a regular exercise routine that includes the dogs, walking, playing ball, biking on my recumbent, swimming, etc. We have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. We also have comfortable extra rooms when a dog needs alone time. Max is my Australian Sheperd and he loves to play and gets along wonderfully with others. Hope is a part Aussie and getting old. She often likes to go be by herself.

“Madison is great! She clearly cares and has respect for animals. I'm grateful to have her help with ensuring my pup Lola's needs are met while my hands are full with life.”

About: I work as a veterinary technician and have 10+ years of pet sitting under my belt. I also have a private mobile nail trimming business that I run part time on the side, I have a pretty large client base with many references from that. I am comfortable working with pets of all shapes and sizes, and don’t have a problem working with pets that may have behavioral concerns. I can administer medications and even care for pets with serious medical needs. I am currently working full time at a veterinary hospital but I have 3 days off per week for all day service and can make home stops in the AM before work and PM after work. Unfortunately at this time I do not offer services in my own home - I have two dogs and two cats of my own, and one of my dogs is elderly and extremely grouchy so bringing in outside pets is not an option for our household. I am no longer offering overnights unless it’s a single overnight. My typical client hires me to stop in 2-3 times daily to feed, walk, medicate, and play with their pets! I also offer dog walking services and mobile nail trimming/basic grooming!

About: We specialize in medium to extra large dogs here on the farm. From puppies to hospice aged canines, we have the experience and welcome all breeds. Our farm specializes in retirement horses, so we take pet care responsibilities seriously. We are home most of the day, but do have on-call local transport appointments that may take us away from the house for a few hours. We have a fully fenced 9 acre farm. We go for romps with the dogs in the pastures not being used by the horses. Dogs are family to us, yet they are dogs.

About: Looking for a fellow dog lover to look after your pet then look no further. We love to take long and short walks around the neighborhood and would be super happy to have your furry friend join us. We also have a dog park only a few blocks away for free run and play and maybe the occasional doggy date. We have been a dog owners over 15 years and feel as if every pup should be treated like family! We couldn't imagine a world without dogs and would love to give your furry family member a familiar face or two to look forward to their physical activity with. We’re also happy to do drop-in care and prepare special meals or give baths, just let us know what your pup needs and I'm sure that we can accommodate. Levi works full time so he is only home with dogs in the evenings and on weekends. Lindsey is a student. So I have classes during the day a few days a week but am home in between classes and all other times when dogs are in our care. We try not to ever leave a pup alone more then 2 hours however we are only able to accommodate dogs who are able to be left for short periods of time. We have a fenced yard that keeps any dogs staying with us safe while also always giving them unlimited access to potty breaks. We do not currently have any dogs of our own so while a dog is staying with us they get constant individualized attention. I offer emotional support to all animals that come into our home. I do this by giving them time and space to adjust while always being available and constantly reassuring them they are safe and will be reunited with their owners at the end of their stay. I also try to provide physical exercise as a redirection for anxious behavior while also creating a positive experience for them.

About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.
