About: Having a farm of my own that includes dogs, cats, parrots, reptiles, chickens, horses, goats, and donkeys I have all of the experience needed to care for your dear pets! I have 8 years experience working in a fast paced equine training facility unsupervised. I have a passion for all animals and am detail oriented. I have experience with special needs animals and am willing to give them the care they need and deserve. I also have military base access! I am available 7 days a day in the morning at 6am and afternoon into early evening. I work part time Tuesday thru Sunday from 7am until noon but am available any time before or after until 7pm (or later with prior warning) I am experienced in walking, administering medication, bathing, cleaning up after the animal, and running pets to any appointments they have. I will happily play with your animals to burn off all the energy they have.

About: I work with Chimpanzees at Chimp Haven! I also have two amazing cats named Bellion and Kid! In addition I also have a bearded dragon named Thor. I have had animals since I was 3 and I have been caring for animals since then. I have experience walk training dogs and I have plenty of regular training experience as well. I use to volunteer with multiple dog and cat no kill shelters where I would walk, play, and groom with both dogs and cats. I would also go to events and communicate with potential adopters for these dogs, as I did these events I would be walk training the dogs so that when they get adopted they would know! I do work a full time job from 7am-4pm every day. My evenings are completely free and I currently have Saturdays and Sundays off from work so I am free all day on those days to help train or walk pets! Since my evenings are free I can check up or even stay the night to take care of your babies! My cats and lizard are very spoiled in our home. They get fed twice a day and plenty of love and play time. I absolutely adore animals and I want to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're at work or vacation!

About: With 4 Years of Experience as a Veterinary Technician, I offer reliable, professional, and loving care for your animals while you’re away. Whether you have dogs, cats, or even farm animals, I provide safe, comfortable boarding and in-home pet sitting tailored to each pet’s unique needs. From playful pups to gentle goats, I’ve got you covered! Services also include nail trims, soothing baths, and personalized attention to ensure your animals feel happy, healthy, and right at home. As a full-time pet care provider with a background as a veterinary technician, pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. Mornings start early with feedings, potty breaks, and check-ins for boarding pets or farm animals. Throughout the day, I schedule home visits, walks, baths, nail trims, and any special care pets may need—always making sure each animal gets personal attention and love. Evenings are for dinner time routines, cuddles, and one last check before bed. Each week, I set aside time for grooming services, client communication, and managing bookings. Weekends are often busier with overnight stays or special requests, but I always plan at least one day to recharge and care for myself, too. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle that blends seamlessly into my home and heart every single day. My top priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. With 4 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize both medical and behavioral needs, which means I can provide attentive, professional care beyond the basics. I follow each pet’s routine closely, offer enrichment through play, cuddles, and gentle structure, and I’m always observing to make sure they’re comfortable and thriving. Safety is built into everything I do—from secure spaces for boarding and supervised play, to using pet-safe products and maintaining clean, low-stress environments. I also believe trust starts with open communication: I keep pet parents updated with daily messages, photos, and honest check-ins. Whether it’s a senior dog needing medication or a playful goat who loves scratches, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I am a dog person, but I also like cats. I'm not an expert, but I have an interest in dog psychology, training and body language. I feel that most people forget that we are also mammals and instinctual beings. Just like children, you have to meet animals on their level as well, respectively. Someday I'd like to raise a variety of animals on a homestead of my own. I work for myself part-time cleaning houses, so I always get to make my own schedule. My calendar is by no means full, but I do have regular clients at different intervals. So, lots of free time to check in on your fur baby and drop off a little love while I'm at it. According to the client's wishes. It is their home and their rules. I live side by side with my dog. He follows my every step, always in the way, of course. Life is never boring with him though, he's even entertaining while he sleeps. 🐶(Snores, barks, whimpers, runs)

About: I’ve take care of pets for 9 years ! I have 2 of my own who we love genuinely and are family to us always. Macey and slag. A lab and American bulldog who loves car rides! I am currently a stay at home mom of 3. To find something simple to do to take my kids to do more Is my goal I have 20 acres I can easily crate your dogs if needed and familiar with leashes and feeding. Always clean water bowls and food bowls and lots of lovings

“Cari was excellent, very responsive and was flexible with the schedule I needed. Great experience!”


About: I have 4 dogs of my own and one cat. I have cared for pets as long as I can remember. My dogs are all house trained and crate trained they also are well mannered and like other pets. I can house train and also train dogs to do certain tricks. I'm 27 years old and own my own home with a large fenced in back yard. There is only one other person living in my home and they are only home after 5 pm. My house has no carpet so accidental pet messes can be cleaned easily. I have my own transportation to house sit or dog walk any time I am needed. Thank you for considering me for taking care of your pets I currently work full time split shifts so I can take care of animals between shifts before shifts and after shifts. I have reliable transportation to and from also I have a large fenced in back yard and I currently work in the animal field so I am trained on medication management and also have vet tech experience.

About: Being liked by animals is a huge deal to me; I take it very personally. I love all animals, and I always get excited when I meet a new client that has a breed I’ve never sat with before, or a pet that is not as common. I have currently only taken care of dogs, cats, and fish as pets, but I would love the opportunity to expand this. I do have puppy care experience, and senior cat & dog care. I have kept a few puppies whose owners were in the process of training them. I was shown the commands they were working on and told what motivated the pets to comply. I have also done sitting jobs with a deaf dog, and with blind cats & dogs. I recently fulfilled a contract for a nanny job I previously held. This has freed up my schedule quite a bit, as I am currently in between jobs. I am free most weekdays and weekends. Making sure pets feel comfortable and safe is a top priority for me. I love the companionship they give, and I thoroughly enjoy giving it back in return. I have no complaints about cuddles, or playing fetch 100 times! My goal when sitting for your pet is to offer them the same level of comfort as they would find if you were home. I know some pets struggle with stress/anxiety when their owners leave so I make it a point to make my presence warm and inviting so that they see a friend rather than a stranger. I implement any suggestions and/or directions that are given to me, and keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible; this including feedings, outside time, walks, medicines, even disciplinary practices*. I want your pets to have quality care, so that is where my sights are set. I look forward to meeting new friends!

About: What sets me apart from other animal sitters is my deep understanding of pets at every life stage from playful puppies to sweet senior animals and my calm, patient approach to care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes, and I tailor my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the animals in my care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m reliable and consistent. I keep a flexible calendar to accommodate everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays, and I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give the pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and walk routines to any house rules like crating, restricted areas, or medication needs. I always keep the environment clean, calm, and safe locking doors, checking gates, and making sure pets are never left unattended in risky situations.
