About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

“Without hesitation, without any doubt I would have Kelly watch our fur babies again! We have two terrier/yorkie mixes. Our girl is very anxious and timid, especially around strangers. However, at our very first meet BOTH our dogs allowed Kelly to pet them and walk them. There are just certain people that animals gravitate to and just know that they have that kindness about them-Kelly is one of those people!”


About: I've taken care of different animals my whole life. I have personal experience taking care of my senior dog that was blind. During that time,I learned how to give oral medications and instill eye drops. Safety was a main priority. My house looked like an obstacle course, with cushions and pillows around anything he could run into, baby gates at the stairs, etc,but it was all for the love of my dear Comet. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats as well. Whether it was a drop in visit, a walk, a bath or an over night stay, etc; I enjoyed every bit of it. Animals have my heart, even if they are not my own. They are my escape and bring me so much joy and happiness. With todays society and how some people treat animals, I believe us animal lovers need to come together and give every animal that we can the love and treatment they deserve. That is why I would be a good choice to care for your family member, I would treat them as if they were my own. I currently work a full time job from home. I work 7am to 3:30 pm. I have every weekend off. I could easily have your dog at my home for the day or do drop in visits and walks after 3:30. If I do services at my home, I have a big back yard,where I will have a fenced in play area so your dog can play freely. I also have a large back deck that can be enclosed with baby gates. I have a 4 year old male Maltese Yorkie, I love spending time outside with him, especially in the summer months, so that is most likely where we would be. There is an umbrella on the deck and a large tree that provides plenty of shade. I also have a baby pool that is always filled with fresh water,so they will be able to take a dip to cool off or play ,along with a sprinkler that my dog loves to play in. There is also a long gravel driveway next door to me that leads to a farm that I can take your dogs for walks on. My home is clutter free and smoke free. Nothing is out that my dog could get into and potentially cause harm. For dog walking, I ask that your dog has a harness and a reliable leash. There are a few places that I take my dog for walks. Those include, Mosquito Lake, Buhl Park , a development that my parents live in and a development my boyfriends mother lives in. I am very familiar with all of these locations. Mosquito Lake also has a dog park that I could take your dog to ,if you would like. If there is an area your dog is familiar with and has been to or if you live in a development , I would be more than happy to walk them there. I stay alert and always stay aware of my surroundings. During transportation to and from anywhere, I have a backseat barrier in my car. I am all about keeping my dog and others pets safe, so whatever I can do to achieve that is what I will do. For drop in visits, I ask for details about your pets needs and what needs to be done. During my visits I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will spend time with them and give them the attention they need before I leave.

About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life. I am an animal lover and treat them as part of the family. I spoil my dog and if you would like your dog spoiled too then you should call me. I am retired and am available most to all days. I am very flexible. With my own dog, I take him outside often and make sure he has food and water at all times. I have a large back yard and a dog who loves to play with new playmates. I have a home that is welcoming for dogs or I can come to you and take your dog for a walk.

About: I have taken five different dog classes and have volunteered in the past to assist at local animal shelters. I would bathe, brush, walk, and play with a variety of dogs. Patient and flexible and always do what is best for the animal. My oldest dog is a certified Therapy dog and we visit mostly nursing homes to help brighten someone’s day. I have had a dog most of my life which I was responsible for walking, feeding, and caring for. I love animals and I will follow any rules provided from the owner. I am a school teacher and very trustworthy. I treat my dog like children and may overact sometimes and rush to the vet when it’s not necessary, but just want to keep my baby girls healthy and safe.

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

About: I currently have three boxers…and if you know the breed, they take quite a bit of patience to raise! We go for walks all the time and I’m a good leash trainer, and have experience in leash aggression and helping to break it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that I can work with you to find an agreeable arrangement. Available on short notice as well! I would be happy to keep your dog, or dogs, company, feed them, have play time or just share some snuggles until you get back!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life. I’ve helped raise my brother and sisters dogs when they were puppies l, and I currently own a 2 year old golden retriever who is pretty much my life. I have always been the go to pet sitter for my whole family and friends when they go out of town, and that has been my favorite compliment. I currently work full time and I am completely available any weekends or select days during the week before or after I work depending on the day! I am very well rounded when it comes to animals and can adapt pretty easily to any demands concerning your pet. I have no issues crating, feeding playing or walking your pet!

About: I love working with pets! I have experience handling both dogs and cats! I have great experience with cats, and I can manage a household with a large amount of pets as well. I’ve worked personally with a multitude of animals ranging from cats all the way up to an Irish wolfhound fhat I regularly pet sit for. I work five-six hour days from late afternoon to evening, however I will prioritize any animals when I am off of work. I do not travel much nor do I have many plans throughout the week. I can crate dogs, clean litterboxes, or anything else required for the pet in your home. Along with that, if a pet is prone to messes I am more than capable of cleaning up after them.

About: I grew up on a farm with a lot of animals, so I have been able to tend to animals both old and young, large and small my whole life. When I was 15, I started my own business back home dog watching nearly every weekend through highschool. I am currently taking classes during the week, which will take up no more than 3 hours of my time during the day. Whatever instruction you give me, I will make it work. I love cuddles from pets and will always stick to their schedule. I love going for walks, taking them for car rides and making sure they don’t just lay around all day. I am a full time student, and currently am not working aside from pet sitting when I can. My schedule is very flexible, so I am willing to work with the needs of any pet. I will follow any instruction left by my clients. If allowed, I like to take dogs for car rides and to go for walks in various places (I.e. the beach, parks, etc.) For higher energy pets, I make sure to take them on longer walks, have more play time, and ensure to get some energy out if I have to leave for a small amount of time.

About: I’ve been dog/pet sitting for nearly 20 years. I’ve handled dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and have cared for a number of other animals including cats, ferrets, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even goats! While they are God’s creation, I am not a fan of snakes… I have a flexible, work-from-my-phone career so I can manage my schedule accordingly. I do quite a bit of travel and can be available in different cities when I’m traveling! I do not care for pets in my home at this time. In my clients’ homes, I follow their protocol to ensure the animal is comfortable while their person is not home.

About: Hi! I’m Rylee, and I have never met an animal I couldn’t make friends with! I have been petsitting as a side gig since I was 16 years old, and I have also spent some time working in a professional doggie daycare, and have loved every minute of it! There has never been a time in my life when I did not have a pet in my home. I have experience with finicky animals, altered & unaltered animals, animals on medication with a time schedule, senior cats & dogs, and young puppies and kittens. I am so excited to meet and bond with you and your fur baby! I do not currently work a full time job so I am available for any hurdle life throws your way! Stuck at work? I’ll check in ‘til you can get there! Petsitter had a family emergency while you’re on vacation? I’m on my way! I am available for regular scheduled visits aligned with your life schedule, no matter when you need me! I love a schedule. I am very easy to hand a pre-established schedule and be expected to follow it to a T. I am also very happy to sit and decide with you what schedule works best with your pet and lifestyle! I am also committed to keeping you in the loop, expect plenty of pictures and updates throughout the visit!

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and living on my own with 2-3 dogs at a time. I had two 13 year old boys pass away about a year ago, so I have experience with dogs with arthritis and daily medications. I currently have 2 girls between 2 and 3, so high energy pups only get me as excited as they are! My dogs are usually pitbulls, so tug and chew toys are huge in my house! Not to mention, walking three dogs at once became a talent of mine! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, my first dog as a toddler was a saint Bernard, and my boyfriend has a Corgi! I do work a full time job, but I'm off every Wednesday and Sunday, and I get done on Saturdays at 4pm. Other weekdays, I can do house visits in the late evening or night as needed. I would be more than happy to do home visits to care for your pup and hangout as needed. I'm also very familiar with the area and many great places for walks to get excess energy out or old legs stretched out.
