“Hope has helped me with my pets for over two years now, I would trust her with any pet I ever owned. She has been a great asset to my family when we need help with our Fur (and gill) babies! She even helped me know which foods and treats would be better for my little guy when his belly took a turn. Any questions I have or my husband has about any of our babies we ask her and she’s very knowledgeable in helping us know what to do or how to help. I could not recommend Hope enough and my babies can’t wait for their next visit with Hope!”

“Thank you so very, very much!!”

About: I have raised 2 puppies and several cats and I'm the mom of a frenchie. We love going for walks and being outside. My dog plays well with others and would welcome a new friend for the day. I'm just working part time right now so I would have plenty of time for a drop-in visit and a walk. I'm available Mon 10am-12:30pm Tues 8am-12:30pm Wed 8am-2pm Thurs 8am-12:30pm Fri 8am-2pm. Mon-fri I would still be available for drop-in or walks after 5pm but I would have my kids with me. Please reach out even if your requested time doesn't match my availability. I still may be able to accommodate you. I do not have a fenced yard which is why I'm not offering for pets to stay in my home. My dog is trained to stay nearby so we haven't needed to get a fence yet. I am able to accommodate walking dogs of all sizes and all activity levels. I can work with dogs who pull or who are easily distracted. I'm a mother to 4 children and a dog so I definitely have patience! I'm currently working part-time so I have open afternoons, evenings and weekends. I work 7am-1pm Mon-Fri, but I can be flexible with my start and end times. I will care for your pet like they are my own and make sure to follow all routines and instructions. I make sure your pet has everything they need and I double and triple check gates and doors before I leave.

About: From teeny to massive, I can love, cuddle, walk, and care for dogs & cats of all breeds and temperaments. Blind, deaf, senior, tripaws, puppies, car-phobic, escape artists, I've watched 'em all! From dogs (pets) that were trained before they were even born, to the dogs you're terrified to let anyone watch, I'm your girl. Not only have I cared for them all, I've also owned them all. I know how uneasy letting someone watch your furry family member is, so I want to reassure you they'll not only get the care you asked for, but they'll get it with lots of love, scratches, and pets! I work locally and with very flexible hours, partially work from home. My schedule would be different on a weekly basis, but I have plenty of time to care for your pet, and am free every evening and night. You can absolutely trust me in your home and with your pets. Just like I'd treat your pets like they were my own, I'd do the same with your home. I can send photos (pupdates!) as desired and have endless local references.

“She's a 5 right off the bat since she is the first walker of 4 that has shown up for a booking!! My dogs love her too so that gives her a 5. My mom, who is 80 and can't really walk the my babies, was there to let her in and introduce her and she loved her too so another 5!! Thank you Nan!!”

“Mallory is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has a flexible schedule that allows her to check in a couple times a day if needed. She really enjoys spending time with animals and taking care of their needs. Choose Mallory if you want your pet to receive the best possible care.”

“We love Natalie! Natalie not only took exceptional care of our 2, “4-legged children” Boe, laid-back, lovable Springer and Porter, who is an energetic, lovable Lab; she also watched over our home and cared for our rooster, Raymond and chickens. Natalie is responsible, as we needed her to give meds to our Porter from her surgery. Knowing Natalie was at our home and with our babies, my husband and I were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Natalie to care for your Family fur babies!”

“Wonderful and friendly will use again”

“Xander has been pet sitting for me for the last 4 years while I was in college and frequently visiting home. I have 2 bunnies, a lizard, and my roomate has a 10 year old cat who is FIV positive and needs a lot of extra attention, so having someone who is so caring and knowledgeable about all kinds of pets has been awesome! I can’t recommend him enough! He always leaves the house in great shape and our pets really love and trust him!”

“Kaitlyn has cared for my two cats and my dog over the last several years. My pets love her and she always sends me pictures to reassure me that they are as happy with her as they are with me. I highly recommend Kaitlyn to help you with your pets, give you peace of mind, and to keep them happy in your absence.”

About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

“Christine has cared for our two dogs, Chance and Sandy, on multiple occasions. In some cases she has cared for them for a full week at a time while we were away. She is always enthusiastic about caring for them. She is responsible and timely and makes sure they get great attention. They can be a little dramatic when we leave them but always get really excited when Christine is there to see them. I would highly recommend her to care for your pups. ”

“Caleb is a fantastic pet caregiver! He is reliable and understands pets and their needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a sitter.”

About: I have had extensive pet care experience over the years. I have cared for both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. In my previous job, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care. I also kept an eye on their health and reported any concerns to their owners. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for animals and I enjoy spending time with them. Well, pet care is an essential part of our daily and weekly routines, especially for pet owners like me. When it comes to taking care of our pets, we need to ensure that they are healthy, happy, and safe. This means providing them with proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. As a pet owner, my daily pet care routine involves feeding my pet, giving them fresh water, and taking them for a walk or providing them with playtime. Additionally, I take some time to clean up after my pet, such as cleaning their litter box or picking up after them outside. Weekly pet care routines can involve much more, like giving my pet a bath, cleaning their bedding or cage, and checking for any potential health issues or concerns. I also make it a point to play with my pet and teach them new tricks during the week to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Overall, pet care is a responsibility that pet owners like myself need to take seriously. By incorporating daily and weekly routines, we can ensure that our pets continue to thrive and live healthy, happy lives. Well, I think my approach to caring for my pets at home is pretty comprehensive. Firstly, I make sure to provide them with a clean environment, which means their area and kennel is cleaned as well as, beddings are changed regularly. I also make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. In terms of exercise and playtime, I schedule a set amount of time each day for interactive play and exercise, in addition to walks outdoors. This keeps them happy, healthy and stimulated both physically and mentally. I also prioritize their medical needs by ensuring they receive regular checkups and vaccinations as needed. This proactive approach helps to prevent health problems down the line. Overall, I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment, plenty of exercise and playtime, and proactive medical care are all key to caring for pets in a responsible and effective way.
