About: Reliable dog care from a boarding kennel worker with hands-on experience in daily care, routines, and behavior. Beginning AKC training soon. With some veterinary experience as well. I have a flexible schedule as a full-time student, so I can stop by before or after classes for walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and other care needs. I’m happy to help with weekend visits and can do overnight stays when possible. I’m comfortable traveling up to about 25 miles for pet care. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving plenty of attention, love, and consistency. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, following each pet’s routine for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and rest. I’m attentive to behavior, health, and individual needs, and I make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My reliability, patience, and flexibility help me provide personalized care that puts both pets and owners at ease.

Always up to answer those questions and concerns, you can rely on me to be there for you and your dog. I tend to specialize in small dogs and other small animals.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats but have also had reptiles as well. Animals are something I throughly enjoy being around and caring for. You can be assured that your animals will recieve the care and affection they need and deserve if you decide to book me for your pet sitting needs! I work full time 3rd shift so am available mostly during the day. Most weeks I work 4 days Monday through Thursday. With enough notice I can be available anytime. I provide a fun and safe environment for all of the animals I care for. I’m not in this app to just come to your house and provide basic needs (unless of course that’s all they need) . You can insure that your animals will get lots of affection and care. This app is a hobby for me and I do it because I love animals and enjoy helping others.

About: Hi there! I am an aspiring young vet that is going to be attending MSU next year for a degree in veterinary sciences. I currently have an apprenticeship with a few vet clinics and I volunteer at shelters! I love all animals including some that most people are scared of! I gathered quality care and play time for all animals. Pet care is a priority in my weekly schedule. I currently own two cats, a dog, a snake, and a bearded dragon. I am a full time online college student that also makes time for my apprenticeship art vet clinic. Animals are the most important thing to me and I have pledged my life to caring for them. I care for pets in many ways at my house! I make it a priority to spoil my pets and give them the best lives. I keep gentle food brands to help my animals digest their food and I make sure to groom them daily. I am great with pet baths and nail clipping as I do this on my cats, dog, and lizard! I also uphold tight feeding schedules to ensure animals stay healthy!
About: I have been a multi dog owner for as long as I can remember. I was not able to have kids so they are treated as if they were. I love kisses and lovin's from all Dogs and would treat them like they are my own. Any pets I take care of, I can promise I will follow your directions but be under the care where you would have no worries and would send lots of pictures I am currently not working so would be able to spend all the time needed to take care of your special loved ones as specified. My dogs are spoiled. They sleep with me and my husband and they curl up with us on the couch. We do have a privacy fence and a doggy door. I prefer babysitting in owners home but can accommodate otherwise
“Julie was so helpful to us! She took care of our elderly dog and skittish kitty with as much love as we would have. She provided regular updates and photos and even did light housekeeping for us-that we didn’t expect at all!! I highly recommend Julie for your pets and home.”

About: Our family loved our miniature schnauzer for 15 years and her passing will always be felt. Our dear mixed Lab came to us abandoned and in poor health. For 5 years, he was adored, loved and given the very best care from our family and local vet. 💔 Dogs give unconditional love and adoration. Humans should and must do ask we can to be worthy. I will happily walk pups of all ages. I work full time and I'm happy to provide care on nights and weekends, as needed. I keep care notes on all furry family members and refer to notes for repeat clients to ensure need are met for all. 🤝🏽 When walking dogs, I will ask for safe walking paths, noting distance and terrain. Waste bags are required from clients to keep our planet clean. 🚮🗑
About: I’ve always been the person that catches the un-catchable runaway. Animals naturally warm up to me almost immediately. Family friends and neighbors always contact me for loving care of their fur babies I am retired from ups and am available for almost anytime to help you provide the most loving care for your pet while you’re away. I currently do not offer this service as I’m not set up for other pets at my home. I have a rescued English Bulldog that was extremely abused and has socialization issues at the moment.
About: I’ve had pets growing up, mostly cats, but I had dogs and we trained them and took really good care of them. I took care of feeding them, my brother walked them and my mom cleaned. I’m currently working part-time and looking for a side hustle and some fun time with some amazing animals! I love animals and understand the struggles of everyday trying to make sure you get home to take care of them. With my dog, I feed him, my brother walks him and my mom cleans him. It is more of a team effort, although I can do all 3.
About: As your pet's second best friend, I offer tailored care, genuine love, and a paw-sitively unforgettable experience! I am well educated in dog training, ensuring they’re mentally and physically stimulated, to overall pet health. I take care of my dog to the fullest extent, your dog will be treated all the same as a new member of the pack! To ensure safety and health, we don’t play right after eating to avoid bloat, I am very conscious of heat on their paws when walking on different surfaces, I avoid rawhide treats and go with homemade or very natural treats instead, and those are just scratching the surface of do’s and don’ts! I keep a structured but flexible routine, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency. I prioritize walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and lots of playtime and enrichment. I’m home often and very intentional about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog needs structure, cuddles, or high energy engagement, I adapt to their personality and routine to make their stay feel as close to home as possible! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a well-socialized dog, Dilo, who has a background in working in high stress environments to not be reactive. Nonetheless, I always do slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can crate or provide separate spaces for rest and decompression. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, structured environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I closely monitor interactions, follow feeding instructions carefully, and stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they maintain some sense of routine while being away from home.
“I just want to say Brody is outstanding. He goes above and beyond. He keeps you updated, sends great quality photos, and truly cares for your dogs like they’re his own — even like family. I highly recommend him, 11/10. Very professional and a genuinely great guy.”

About: I intern at an animal sanctuary where I provide full animal care to cats, dogs, foxes, birds, wolves, horses, a beaver, a bear, an elk, and much more. I have been there for over a year as well as taken care of many other animals for families over night and daily check ins. I am studying environmental science where I hope to work with animals so I have been gaining a lot of experience and knowledge with all kinds. I work another job currently as well as school so my check ins would be early morning and nights. My schedule varies from day to day so I’m willing to work it out as needed. I am available for over nights almost every night. I have watched animals with and without fences. I have gained a lot of experience in how to keep both me and the animals safe from my internship knowledge.
“Ben is literally the BEST!!! Blue loves his boy time with him when I got out of town. He gives me daily updates and pictures. I know Blue is safe with Ben and my heart couldnt be more happy!!”
