“Melissa was Great!! We had a last-minute request for a drop-in sitter and she was quick to accept. She spent quality time with Shasta and took the best pictures of her. We are grateful for Melissa and we will be booking again soon. Thank you for everything!!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since I was 7 and having seven dogs throughout my family's life. My experience extends beyond dogs to cats, horses, cows, chickens, and pigs, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. I have most recently been trusted with helping my dear friend potty train and babysit her adorable 3 month old daushaund. I currently have a 5-year-old pit-bull dog, which has given me even more hands-on experience caring for and understanding dogs. We love to take long walks and visit the dog park. Due to some medical needs that my pup has, I have experience providing medications and applying skin care as needed. I know that every pet has their own needs and routine and I want every animal to feel safe and loved. I currently work 3, 12-hour shifts a week which allows for plenty of time to care for pups on my four days off from working. I make sure pets have a secure environment, use appropriate leashes and toys, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure safe/proper care.

“Christi is a fantastic communicator and we felt great leaving our fur babies with her. Thank you and we hope to see you again in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: Thank you for visiting my profile. I've been around dogs for most of my life and know that pets are and important part of the family. It's my priority to make you comfortable about trusting me with your pet(s). I'm caring, dependable, energetic, and look forward to taking care of your family member! I keep my availability up to date on the calendar. I'm available for short or extended visits and walks in the evenings and on weekends. No breed preferences. I'm open to taking walks or going for a run on nearby trails or sidewalks depending on your dog's ability and/or energy level.

“Very professional and thoughtful. My dog was in great hands. Jennifer was very detail oriented and you can quickly see - she loves animals.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since Middle School! In addition to having many family pets over the years, I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of animals and have had many regulars. I treat each pet as if it’s my own and I take pet care very seriously since I also have my own and understand the importance of the care provided. I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I have worked with many rescues, large breeds, and many anxiety-ridden dogs. I have administered meds and dealt with heartworm with my rescue. I have had experience w/many special needs & seniors as well. I am currently working full time. This schedule is Tuesday-Friday. Weekday evenings after 5pm are available and Sat, Sun, and Monday are all flexible time-wise I currently have my own dogs so I would not bring animals here. I will treat each client’s home as they prefer and I’m very adept at adapting to different routines and environments.

About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!

About: Hi, I’m Sheila! My experience caring for my own dog, Max, taught me how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands. Dogs are family, and I’ll treat yours with patience, kindness, and care. I offer walks and drop in visits to give your dog companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home and your dog’s routine. You can expect photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pup is doing. I’d love to meet you both and learn what makes your dog feel comfortable and happy! I run my own business and manage my schedule, which allows me to plan pet care visits around my appointments. I’m available for scheduled walks and drop in visits, giving your pup time for potty breaks, play, and companionship. I only accept bookings I can give my full attention to, so your dog receives dependable, thoughtful care. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding routines, leash requirements, and any specific needs or triggers. During visits, I’ll keep doors and gates secure, use a leash on walks, and stay attentive to your dog’s surroundings. I’ll respect your home, send updates, and contact you promptly if anything seems unusual. Before our first visit, I’ll confirm emergency contacts and your veterinarian’s information.

“We are so excited to have Janna be part of our sweet girls, (Prue and Piper), life. We had such a wonderful meet and greet and it was clear that Janna made our anxious girls feel at ease. I know they are in amazing hands.”

“Brianna is such a peppy and lovely lady, our cats loved her! We are super thankful for her to take care of them while we were away for Christmas. She was super flexible and sent complete updates with pictures every day.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals starting from my first day as an infant. I grew up with multiple cats in the home with learned, gentle-respect and patience that cats require. I also grew up with a shetland sheepdog, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. As an adult I have significant experience with caring for dogs and cats alike both in my home and in other homes. My own animals, two dogs, a cat, and a 70 gallon fish tank, remind me daily of the joys and importance of animals. I have an anxious 74 pound hound and a nervous 30 pound beagle of my own, so I understand the needs of special breeds and animals coming from previously difficult situations. I have the patience needed to address nervous dogs and have experience with clicker training and am educated in techniques for dog training. I do not breed discriminate. I have fostered kittens and adult cats and have experience with syringe feeding and medicine administration. I also have my own rascally kitten, Hazel, who keeps me entertained. In my experience with fish and aquariums I can clean, feed, and help with tank design or water cycling conditions. Note: I am selective about in home care due to a cat being in the home - this is for the safety of my own animals. Thanks. Your pets will be the utmost priority and I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs. I can assure timely feedings, walks, and potty breaks so your pet is comfortable and you are assured! I will treat them as my own. Our daily routine is FULL of pet fun and enjoyment. First thing in the morning is a walk and potty breaks, followed by feeding, the rest of the day would follow similarly with 4/5 mini walks and dinner at ideal time. Potty before bed time and no pet will be left alone for more than 3 hours and if preferred never at all.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best. When caring for your pets, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I give their pets, keeping things clean and secure and providing updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Beth is very personable and extremely reliable. She was on time/early for our meet and greet and kept me up to date with everything going on with Holly while we were away. She treated Holly like her own and that’s what you want and expect when you’re leaving your pet/family member in the care of another. Will definitely use Beth again in the future.”

“Argelia was able to help us out last minute as our sitter had an emergency. She was wonderful with communication and with Stitch as well!!! He was very happy and well taken care of when we arrived home.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Hannah! She was incredibly responsive and always quick to reply to any questions or updates. When we decided to extend our trip by an extra night, she was more than willing to go above and beyond to accommodate the change, which gave us great peace of mind. Super punctual and reliable, we knew our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I would be a good sitter because not only do I love animals, but I’ve had and taken care of so many. I would love yours. I currently work full-time at an elementary school. But I know my daughter and I would love to come and play with anyone’s pups or kitties after a long work week. I have a nice sized fenced in yard, and a good sized, safe basement that I am renting at the moment. Good space for a pet

“Heather took exceptional care of our cat while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She came every other day to replenish food/water, clean out the litter box, and replace towels on the floor since our cat is now peeing on the carpet. (She even did a laundry load of towels-going above and beyond!) She stayed at least 30 minutes and sent me several pictures each visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we will certainly use her again!”

“Communicates well and takes good care of my pup. Will gladly use again in the future.”

“Florian is an amazing caretaker! I was a little worried because my pets have a specific routine and need time to build trust, but Florian fit right in. He took care of my family (one dog and two cats) and was extremely detail-oriented. He made sure he knew where everything was, from pet supplies to cleaning supplies, so I could be as hands-off as possible. My dog got plenty of playtime, and my cats got plenty of petting and attention. His communication and updates were on point throughout. I would definitely book with Florian again!”
