About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets and I can watch animals at my house or stop in to yours to take care of your beloved pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, lizards, and fish! I work as a nurse but still have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets whether in my home or yours and will give them plenty of attention! I would be able to let out quick in the morning but no walks and can let out in the evening and do a walk. I have a large fenced in back yard for your dog to run and play in. I have two dogs both of whom are laid back and gets along with other dogs. I have the space to be able to set up a crate if needed to crate your dog while I’m away. I am able to let your dogs out in the morning and evening and spend time with them each time as well as feed them. I can watch your small animals at my house since I have a room designated for small animals since I own two ferrets! I have 3 sweet kitties who get along great with dogs and other cats!

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.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 8 years old! From raising two puppies to housing a friends dog temporarily, I have acquired experience with training dogs as small as french bulldogs to as big as pitbulls! I have a passion for animals and truly treat them as family.

While I cannot offer a space in my home for your pup, I can assure you that your dog will be taken very good care of in your home and that I will do my utmost to ensure your environment is left as untouched as possible!

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!

About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I do pick ups and drop offs !!

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.

“Kaylinn is amazing with my dog!!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies, including basic training reinforcement and routine building, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, medication reminders, and gentle care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I’m at home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, timely feedings, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m able to closely monitor pets, adjust to their schedules, and give extra care to puppies or senior pets who need more frequent check-ins. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home or in a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, potty routines, and any specific instructions closely. Pets receive regular exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain a clean, safe environment and monitor for any changes in behavior or health. For in-home visits, I respect your space and keep everything just as you left it. I also provide updates and photos so you feel connected and confident in your pet’s care.

About: I grew up with animals of all kinds and love to be around them. I have experience with all kinds and ages, from newborn to super seniors. Two of my childhood dogs required medication, I have experience administering injections and oral medications. I also have experience administering topical and oral medications to cats. I have few routine obligations and will likely be able to make any pet sitting requests a priority. I am generally available from about 8:30am until 11pm every day. I can stop by on whatever schedule you desire and interact with your pet(s) as close to the way you would as I can. My goal is to provide care as similar to yours as possible so that your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time with me. With drop in care, I will be sure to administer medications, feed, water, and groom as instructed as well as cleaning litter boxes and extra gifts, and, of course, providing desired attention. I will respect your rules, your home, and your privacy. With dog walking, I will do my best to make sure they stay safe and comfortable while having a great time and getting plenty of exercise. I love a good walk, and they are so much better with a companion!

About: I provide a caring loving environment for all dogs that I watch. I currently own 2 Boston’s and a boxer who I administer medicine too for seizures. I walk them daily and let them out hourly. I will make sure all dogs are healthy and as happy as can be when watching them. I also watch my neighbor or family friends dogs which range from sizes small to large. I don’t have as much experience with giant dogs but I would be more than willing to love them just as much as any other dog I watch! I am available during the day and night as I attended college and have classes in the mornings. I can stay as long as needed to keep them company and playful for when you return home! Contact me with any additional questions!

About: Hello, my name is Emily! I am the biggest pet lover. I currently have none of my own pets as I’m a full time college student. So rest assured I will love on and spoil your dog as if they are my own. I’ve dealt with a range of temperaments in my experience with dogs. All I ask is that you let me know how your pet reacts to people and different things so I can ensure I can keep them safe and comfortable at all times. I will keep my calendar updated with my availability to ensure you have the easiest time scheduling. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! I’m a full time student athlete, because of this being my only current commitment I have lots of free time to love on and care for your pups! I will ensure your pet’s space kept clean during drop ins. On walks I will double and triple check all equipment, and ensure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of. Saftey for your pet is my number one priority! And of course giving them plenty of love and attention when I am with them is the next most important thing to me!

About: I’ve always have pets growing up. We’ve had dogs, a litter of puppies, cats, multiple litters of kittens, ducks, chickens, a leopard gecko, and even a hamster! I do currently work full time but I am available for evening walks, anytime on the weekend walks, or anytime overnight care. I am more than willing to work with you on what you and your pet need! I do live in an apartment but it has access to a big grass area where your dogs can run around and play. I also make sure to let them out as often as possible and feed them to their schedule.

About: I am an experienced and passionate animal lover! I have worked at pet hotels, equestrian centers, and animal shelters, as well as pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. During my time at the shelter, I medicated animals who needed it and followed strict dietary instructions, so if your pet has specific medical or dietary concerns, I will care for them well. I’m comfortable with any size, breed, or species! I am here to bathe, walk, feed, clean up after, and play with whatever furry friend you have! As a graduate student, my weeks are pretty open, so I have all the time in the world to spoil your little darling! I can do weekdays, weekends, and holidays at whatever time you need! I am happy to handle pets of any species or breed, and I will follow your instructions to the letter. I have experience with shy and boisterous pets alike. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priority at all times!

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.
