About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.

“Corette took the time to come meet our pup before walking him. She sent photos, video and update before and after! She was flexible with scheduling and we really appreciate her!!!”


About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.

“Georgia went above & beyond while walking my Louie. He got the best exercise & he had the best time! She is consistent, dependable & kind. I’m so happy I chose her to walk my dog. Thank you so much Georgia! You’re awesome!!”



About: Love working with all types of animals, Worked in 3 years vet care experience. I have worked with special needs and geriatric animals. I have a flexible availability. I've been trained on animal behavior and animal training. I have an apartment and animals will have free roam. We would go on walks. I also do grooming, nail trim, and teeth cleaning. Good with working with behaviorally challenged pets. Like to have open communication with fur parents. Willing to text and send pictures to update them during their time away. I currently work part time and getting my masters in counseling online. I'm looking for more time to spend with animals because I miss having them in my life. Let me take care of your fur babies! I currently work in both vet care and mental health. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and have 3 days off in a row. I make sure to prioritize the routine of the pets. I will care for your home and your pets as I do my own. I will make sure everything is as minimal stress for your fur child.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, in all shapes and sizes. Ever since I was old enough, I have been pet/dog sitting for my neighbors and family friends. Currently having a senior dog, I understand that some pets need special medication, food, etc. I am more than happy to provide whatever type of care your furry family members need to feel comfortable. I am currently taking a class at Heartland Community College and have physical therapy twice a week. The class is only in person twice a week, so I am pretty flexible with dates and times for pet sitting. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. My focus is to give them lots of love and attention, as well as provide exercise through walks and playing in the backyard.

About: Providing loving, compassionate, dependable, and responsible pet care! I truly take time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personalities. Whether it's playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Additionally, I believe it is essential to provide regular updates about your pets while you are away to ensure peace of mind :) Providing exceptional services everyday, three times a day! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when pet owners need me; mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I make sure to plan my other responsibilities around the needs of the pets I care for. Treating every dog like my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I thoroughly follow instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special accommodations. With my background and training in healthcare, I am well-equipped to recognize and respond to any signs that may indicate an emergency, ensuring your dog's safety at all times.

About: As a pet owner, I want to know that my dogs are safe and happy while I am away. I know they become stressed with strangers and knowing that someone takes the time to make them feel at ease, going the extra mile to ensure their comfort makes all the difference. That is the philosophy I carry with my services. I treat your pet(s) like I’d treat my own. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies. I am always free on the weekends and am willing to do same-day bookings. I have a large backyard so your pup(s) will have plenty of space to run and play. I have two pups of my own who would love to keep your fur-babies company. They both are friendly and love to play! I can keep your pet(s) crated if that is something you’d need. I am very flexible with my services and can address any concerns or questions you may have!

About: I have taken care of dogs, fish, cats, and children. I am a licensed foster parent and I also have extensive medical training. I had a Jack Russell Terrier for 18 years but do not currently have any pets of my own. I will treat you pets like they are family. I work full time, but my spouse is usually home. When we run errands we are more than happy to bring your dog along with us in the car if he/she likes going “bye bye.” Pets in my home have the run of the place as if it is their own. They are allowed on the furniture. If I am pet sitting in your home I will be respectful of your space.

About: I have trained dogs and cats of all ages, senior and puppies. I love to spend time with animals and help them blossom. I specialized in skunk care, but I'm an all rounder. I am currently unemployed looking for new opportunities while I wait to start school up again. I am open to working with all manner of clienteles, and I am flexible in timing and help. I am all about giving pets the respect and space they need. I am not an up in their face person, and simply wait until the animals decide they are ready for attention. I like to build trust with the animals I serve, and love to have repeat customers. Please give me a shot, and your animals are sure to thank you.

About: Hi there, my name is Kolton! I’ve had pets my entire life and always help watch friends’ and families’ pets when I get the chance. I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. Our pup, Scotty, was rescued as well, with little training, so teaching him tricks is always a fun time! I have a very flexible daily schedule with the ability to work from home. This would allow me to work with your pet’s schedule and give them all of the care they are used to. Safety is very important to me when it comes to my pets. I always make sure there is nothing in reach or on the ground that would endanger them (especially for the curious puppies). At my home this means closing certain doors and keeping all food off the counters. At your home I would be sure to keep all guidelines your dogs need to ensure their safety.
