About: Currently not employed anywhere else so your pet will receive my full time and attention. I love being outside so if walks for your pooch are required, rest easy knowing they will be plenty exercised while you’re away. I’ve had experience with big dogs and small, senior dogs and puppies, adult cats and kittens. I have experience clipping nails and claws and have no problem giving baths if needed. Currently unemployed so my routine is wide open to add a few furry clients. I also have a helper so if more assistance is needed for the animals, I’m capable of handling it Willing to be in the home the entire booked stay. Will follow the feeding and exercise schedule left for me by the owners. Keep pets comfortable and at ease

Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats that I treat like my own children! I’ve done petsitting for years for both cats and dogs of various breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, having me feed them, walk their dogs, spend time with their cats, and keep litter boxes tidy. I work full-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility on days I work from home and weekends. I can spend the day at your home or drop in as needed, but due to having pets of my own, can’t always do overnight stays. Since I live in a small apartment with two cats, I can’t bring your pet to stay with me. Instead, I’m more than happy to drop in periodically or spend the day at your home, making sure your pets are happy, fed, and get some social interaction!

About: Hi, I’m Nicole – dog mom, dog lover, and Duke’s human. We’d love to welcome your pup into our home. I’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years and have cared for hundreds of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Your dog is in experienced hands. I know firsthand how stressful it is to find a sitter you can trust – we’ve moved around a lot over the years, caring for dogs across the country and around the world, and we know how hard it is to rebuild that trust with someone new every time. When you book with me, that search is over. Every dog in our care is treated like family, full stop. Our home comes with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can go outside whenever they want – no scheduling, no waiting. Duke is a small guy who grew up around big dogs, so he’s relaxed and unbothered by dogs of any size. He’s great company and an easy housemate for visiting pups. I work remotely, which means your dog gets real attention throughout the day – walks, playtime, and plenty of downtime together. Big or small, shy or social – we’re happy to have them. We can’t wait to meet your pup. Nicole and Duke 🐾 Pet care is woven into my daily life! I work remotely, so I'm home most of the time with my dog, Duke. Our day naturally includes walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and lots of attention. Adding another dog or two just makes our days even better — more walks, more belly rubs, more joy! Caring for pets isn’t an "extra" task for me — it’s part of how I live every day, with lots of love, care, and companionship. 🐾 In my home, pets are treated just like family! They have free roam of the house, a large fenced backyard to play in, and lots of love and attention. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — whether that's meal schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home, and I always tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. Your pup will get plenty of affection, exercise, and of course — treats (if allowed)! 🐶❤️

We could tell when we first met Nicole, Dexter would be just fine. She let us know how he done on their walk and even stayed around with him for a while afterwards. We will definitely contact Nicole again when we need some one to help with Dexter.

About: Hi neighbors! I’m a calm, reliable, and patient pet caregiver based right across from Westgate Park. I work from home, which means your pet gets consistent attention, steady routines, and a peaceful environment—not just a quick visit and a rush out the door. I have cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 40 years, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing extra support, including insulin injections and attentive monitoring. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their rhythm. My home includes a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m steps away from the park for enriching walks. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. At home, I’m kept company by my senior dog Elle J, who has taught me a lot about gentle companionship, and an “adopted” outdoor cat, Alistair, who stops by like he owns the place (which, honestly, he might). If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Living directly across from Westgate Park also allows me to provide consistent, enriching walks without travel delays. Because I’m already home throughout the day, I can offer reliable timing, attentive care, and flexibility for pets who need more frequent visits or a steady routine. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medical needs such as medications or insulin injections. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level to ensure a calm and positive experience. In my home, pets benefit from a quiet, low-stress environment with a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time and close supervision throughout the day. I maintain a clean, secure space and introduce new environments gradually to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether in your home or mine, my approach is always patient, attentive, and focused on your pet’s wellbeing.

About: Your pets become my family the moment I meet them ☺️ I grew up with a host of furry comrades including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters; and now care for two human kids and three cats who I adore. I welcome the opportunity to care for all types of pets -- whether that be the traditional dog /cat or rodents, reptiles, spiders and other creepy crawlies, you can trust you are in capable, caring and attentive hands. I am also more than happy to learn the ins and outs of caring for any special needs animals you may have. A note on timing: I appreciate having at least 48 hours to respond to your sitting requests when possible! I have the flexibility of working from home and setting my own schedule 5 days a week, and excel most when I am able to visit and care for your pets during the workweek. Wednesdays and Thursdays see the most flexibility and availability to meet your needs. I take great pride in being able to treat both your pets and your dwelling with the respect they deserve! I am equal parts professional and down to earth.

Payton is always on time and looks after the girls like they are her own. Since I have chihuahuas they typically don’t like to walk too far so she sits with them after they go potty to fill up the time. Another great walk/sitting!

About: I have had pets my whole life, including dogs and horses. I currently own two dogs and one horse. I have trained 3 dogs, and I have also spent tons of time around cats even though I have never owned one. I have a passion for animals and making sure they are properly loved and cared for to ensure they get as much happiness in their lives as they give us, and I would love to give your pet that little extra bit of care that you are searching for! I am home from college for the summer, so I have a very free schedule to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! I am available pretty much 24/7. I do everything in my power to ensure pets are happy and comfortable, so whatever that may look like for your pet I am happy to accommodate, whether this means they need walked, played with, fed, crated, attention, medications, etc.. I have tons of experience with different pet needs and am happy to meet accommodations that make your pet happiest!

About: I have 2 beautiful dogs. I have been taking care of dogs for over seven years now. I have personally trained my own dogs and their are both well behaved boys! Hi there! 🐾 I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate pet care services designed to keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services every day except Tuesday, as well as doggy daycare on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As a full-time nursing student, I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and care. My background in healthcare means I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. While I may not have formal veterinary training, I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented approach that translates naturally into high-quality pet care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! 🐶💛 I can care for your fur babies in any environment. In my home I have a fenced in backyard where your baby can run free. I treat animals like humans and they are all welcomed on the furniture! I try to stay fairly active so I can take your dog on short jogs or long walks.
