About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve provided in-home sitting, cared for friends’ pets, and have owned dogs my entire life. You can count on me for reliable, loving care—just like they’re my own. Hi! I’m currently on paternity leave from my full-time job, where I typically travel Monday through Thursday. With a bit more time at home right now, I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs. I’ve owned dogs all my life, have in-home pet sitting experience, and have helped friends care for their pets over the years. Your pup will be in safe, caring hands. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I’ve worked with dogs that require extra attention, including those with medical needs or those who don’t do well around other animals. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and keep your dog safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I currently have a 3 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks.

I take time to understand each pet’s needs, habits, and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I treat the home with the same respect I’d expect in return - following instructions closely, keeping things clean, and ensuring doors, gates, and feeding routines are handled properly. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible for both pets and their people.

About: I’ve owned and cared for my own dogs for over 25 years, all of them rescues. I have a deep love for animals and a soft spot for those in need. My pets have always been part of the family, and I’m known for spoiling them with love, attention, and treats (within reason!).

About: I am a true and genuine animal lover. I prefer the floor to the couch and enjoy spending time with anyone who has scales, fin, feathers and especially fur! My young adult children, husband and I support each other with specific clients in order to make sure pets always have proper care. My young adult children care for pets in their own environment in order to not disrupt routines. We stay as close to THEIR schedule as possible with little interruption. If you have any questions and would like to talk; I would welcome your call. Thank you, in advance, for your time! I own my own business and work part-time from home. I schedule myself in order to be available to my furry clients. Their well-being is my priority! I live on several acres and of that space have one acre completely fenced, which I host on SniffSpot. I keep my home very clean while still keeping it animal-friendly.

About: I first started caring for dogs (besides my own) in 2017, when I took a job at a local daycare and boarding facility. I was able to learn so much from my supervisors and co workers there about dog handling, health and behavior. I learned how to administer meds, including giving insulin to diabetic dogs, and have even dog sat several times for a client with an elderly, diabetic dog. I currently am still working at the dog boarding and daycare facility, where I fill a variety of rolls: dog taxi, front desk, park walker and enrichment specialist. Currently I do work 5 days a week with shifts being from 6-8 hours generally. I am hoping to eventually be able to do dog sitting on a more full time basis as I continue to form a client base. I will make every effort to be able to work around you and your dog’s schedule ☺️, I will make sure your dogs are taken care of to your specifications. Safety is always my first priority when caring for somebody’s furry family member.

About: My goal is to make sure that pet parents like me have someone they can trust to help care for their babies. I have two years of experience working at a boarding/daycare facility where I was a supervisor for 1.5 years there, this means that I have experience working with dogs who need to take any type of medication- like insulin. I have been working at an animal shelter for 6 months where I’ve grown to learn more about the body language of dogs which has made me more confident in making sure the animals are comfortable and I can tell when they are starting to get overstimulated. I treat every fur baby like my own just as I would hope anyone else would mine. I’m currently working full time at an animal shelter but I am hoping with enough clientele I could do full time pet services for the clients I end up getting. I have a fenced in property where your dogs would be safe from getting out and wandering around, I have 3 very social dogs who love to have friends but I could also keep everyone separated if that is what’s needed. I also have crates if your pet needs to go in one. If I were to be at my clients home I would make sure that your pets are able to go potty at a scheduled time either going in your backyard or bringing them on a walk to get everything out of their system. I can make sure that your pet will not have anything in their area that could hurt them or be eaten which could cause more damage as well.

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up and have experience with all ages. I’ve spent the last several years animal sitting for friends and family when they’re out of town. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of care and attention! Available any day of the week! I am temporarily in an apartment for the next few months, but I am on the first floor and have easy access to the outdoors!
