“Melissa took care of our cat while we were gone on an extended trip. She gave him lots of love and attention and sent us updates and pictures. It was nice knowing someone was looking after our kitty and checking on things in the house as needed.”


About: I can train puppies and care for senior dogs. I have had 8 different pets all lived over 15 years old and I insist it is because they know they were well loved. I can handle huge dogs I generally work part-time. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times. They will be well loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs but I do have a cat currently. I care for dogs, cats. I currently have a cat of my own. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

“Rachel is the best!!! She took great care of my dog while I was away!! Its hard to leave my dog with someone I don't know, but Rachel took great care of him. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a great person to watch their dog while they are away!!!!”


“Maci did a fantastic job looking over our boys! She came through last minute for us and couldn’t have shown them more care and attention. She stayed in good contact and was able to administer medication properly and even get our anxious one to warm up to her in no time! Thank you Maci!!”


“Chelsea did a wonderful job and made me feel at ease with someone else watching my dogs. She had great communication through the whole process, I will definitely be booking her again!”


About: Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, my life has been an extraordinary journey woven with the love and care of countless pets. From the loyal companionship of dogs and the soothing purrs of cats to the curious antics of birds, rabbits, reptiles, and even farm animals, I have raised nearly every pet you can imagine. Nurturing these animals has been more than just a hobby—it's been a calling. I find an unmatched sense of connection and fulfillment in their presence, often feeling closer to animals than to people. Their trust, unique personalities, and unconditional affection inspire me daily. My passion for raising, nurturing, and spending time with animals isn’t just a part of who I am; it’s my life’s purpose. I dream of transforming this deep-seated love into my main source of income, building a career that allows me to dedicate all my time and energy to the creatures that bring me the greatest joy. I have plenty of time for your pets needs, with full availability to watch your animals & cater to their unique needs, with love & care. I am super open to watching your cat fur babies in my home. I have one dog in the home who is acquainted with cats and your cats will be kept separate at all times.

“Can’t say enough great things about Caroline. New to the area and feel lucky to have found a responsible occasional caretaker for our shepherd. Caroline was just great to work with. From our initial meet and greet to the actual dog sitting….everything worked like a charm. Hats off to Caroline.”


About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and can always be found hanging out with the pets over people at parties! I get along really well with furry friends and I will take really good care of yours! I am self-employed, so I always have availability throughout the week when I'm not traveling. I also have my puppy I would be bringing with me if I am house sitting, so please keep that in mind! She loves other dogs. I can come and play with your animals as often and as long as needed. I will stop in every few hours if need be and will definitely give them all the loves and pets!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I currently work 6 hours a day so you would not have to worry about your dog. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog. I would take care of your dog as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life from an early age. I participated in many dog related 4-H programs growing up and raised a guiding eye puppy as a teen. I have completed obedience training and agility training with my own dogs. I love to meet new dogs and share in the joy and love that they bring to the world. I currently have flexibility in my schedule. I do have to care for my own dog (Nina), but we can work around her schedule and needs. I have a big yard with walking paths in the back that are provide lots of opportunities for sniffing and potty breaks. We will be getting a fence in the near future.

About: From being raised on a farm with many animals including many dogs, to working in the veterinary field for over 6 years, working with animals is my specialty. Your pet becomes family in my care! Being a stay at home dog mom, my schedule is pretty flexible most of the time, let me know what you and your pet(s) needs and I'd be happy to accommodate! Safety is my #1 priority. Just know in my care, your pet will be cared for in the best way possible! Like family! Rest assured.

About: I've taken care of furry critters my whole life. My neighbors, family, and friends always know they can rely on me. Have trained many dogs/puppies the basics and even how to rollover. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for taking special care of your furry friend. Whether that be an extensive diet, strict schedule, or just special care. I always make sure my animals are living their best life and would do the same for yours. I have a big fenced in yard the dogs love to interact with one another in and play. The cats aren't excluded either, mine are living their purrfect life as well.

About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! During the school year I work at my local elementary, I am an early riser and always available for morning walks or drop in visits! During the summer I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.

About: i’ve taken care of puppy’s as well as senior puppy’s of my own as well as working at a doggy date care taking care of all breeds, ages, etc! I currently work full time on weekdays so i would be available after 5 sometimes after 4. Weekends i would be available any time as needed! I have a crate if needed. I also have dogs of my own so your pup will not be bored! I take my dogs on long walk daily and play with them outside everyday!

About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 10 years with experience in small and large dogs. I love to go for walks and take direction well with each dog because each parent loves their dog a little differently! I’m home by 5 everyday and love to go for walks or to the beach. I work very close so I can come walk the dog during the day as well. And I allow dogs on the furniture and in bed for extra snuggles. I don’t have my own dog but love dogsitting to fill the gap! I have a home with an unfenced yard but a lead in back for easy potty breaks and will walk dogs at least twice a day. I will also travel to homes/house sit and have lots of experience with this as well.

About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!

Mckayla is familiar and confident with a large variety of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. She is incredibly diligent and attentive to her responsibilities. I have had Mckayla look after my own (spoiled) dogs several times and they all love her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet caregiver.”

Sydney P.
“Sydney provides great care for all animals shes the first one I call and prefer to watch my puppy. She sends updates on how things are going, and pictures of my pretty boy! She takes him for walks, plays with them, gives medicine and brushes them out if I request it. Overall she has been the best dog sitter I have ever had and I will continue to use her in the future.”


Jennifer C.
“There is no one else I trust more with my dog than Jen. We have a forever puppy (Lab) that is hard to wear out and Jen is great about taking her for multiple long walks per day and giving her the attention she needs. Jen is simply the BEST!”


Ashley H.
“Ashley has a passion for animals. And that’s putting it mildly. She worked for me at a nature center for more than a year, where she took great care of our resident salamander, frog, snakes and turtles. She brought guppies from her home aquarium to have on her desk, and they each had a name! She developed a live butterfly exhibit, bringing in monarch caterpillars so that visitors could watch them transform into butterflies and help her release them into the wild. Taking care of cold-blooded animals, maintaining fish and turtle tanks, keeping hungry caterpillars in fresh food requires a lot of thoughtful effort, with no “cuddle factor” as a reward. But Ashley loved it all! Her reward was just being around them, and handling them, and watching them thrive in her care. I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter. She has a true heart for animals!”
