About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.

Sarah will be staying this weekend for dog sitting and I wanted her and him to get used to each other. He was a bit nervous but she stayed with him and tried her best to make him comfortable. They will be friends eventually!

About: I have three cats of my own (all successfully introduced as adults), and have spent my whole life taking care of the cats in my family. Over the past few years, I have been regularly caring for my friends pets when they go out of town for extended periods of time. I have cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from kittens to seniors and from outgoing to shy. I am also an artist, and will happily draw a portrait of your cat as an added gift with my care! I work part time at my day job 2-3 days a week from 9-5. I have a very open schedule, able to care for your pet any day whether that be morning, evening, or night. I have reliable transportation and don’t mind traveling throughout the county. When first cats, I allow them to approach me on their own to get to know me on their own terms. If allowed, I will given them a treat to let them know I am a friend. I will start off my visit by checking their food, giving them fresh water, and cleaning their litter box. Once I have spent this time around them, I will see if they are in the mood to either play or be pet. I will pay attention to their body language before initiating physical affection. If they seem like they are just in the mood to spend time in the same space without much interaction, I will either read a book or draw in my sketchbook so I can keep them company.

About: I am a very empathetic person, and I love my dog dearly. I’ve had over 15 Danes and 3 Weiner dogs and every breed needing a home in between. My dogs is what connected me to my dad, my dog helped heal him, guide him to the next stage of life and helped me grieve. I see the power in pets, and see how hard life is navigating real world responsibilities with giving our pets care when we work, travel or whatever. I bring my love from a deep rooted place of humanity, helping other humans find security peace and ease while being able to enjoy life and also let their pets have fun. I work from home, I want something where I can get my mind outside itself and walk dogs, have fun with them, give back and check in and love on other humans in my own way. Through caring for the most precious thing we have, our pets. In my own home I have a 6 year old dachshund, I would be only doing over nights if I had a trusting relationship with said client. Going to a clients home, only if my partner can watch my dog and I as well have formed a trust with client. If a dog gets along with my dachshund and the parents approve after a few interactions I can absolutely share my home.

About: I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always genuinely loved animals. I’m an active person who enjoys long walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and affection I naturally give animals — I’m actually a pet portrait artist because of how much I love pets and connecting with their personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to each dog’s individual energy level and needs. I work part time as a pet portrait artist, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to include pet care throughout the weekdays. Because I create artwork from home, I’m able to provide dependable walks, check-ins, and attentive care during the day rather than only evenings or weekends. Spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite parts of my routine, so I enjoy making pet care a consistent and meaningful part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and affection based on their individual needs and energy level. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine, and I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and any special instructions you provide. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.

Jayna was fantastic with our 10-month-old boy! She’s wonderful with him. She was professional, communicative, followed our instructions carefully, and even went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable while we were away. Jayna is truly part of the family now, and our pup loves seeing her. Thank you for everything, Jayna — you’re the best!

About: From horses, chickens and goats to rabbits, dogs and every little critter in between. I've taken care of a wide variety of animals both personally and professionally within my life time. My schedule and I are extremely flexible as long as you are willing to work with me. Majority of my free time is spent outdoors so including a 4 legged friend to the adventure is no problem. I like to stick to the schedule the clients have for their fur kids whether that be daily walks, park visits, fetch, crate training, etc. Showers of gooey love and scratches to make sure they're adorable meter is optimal is of course a given.

About: Animals have always been my passion. They are what makes me smile. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, rats, and rabbits from babies to seniors. As a full-time animal lover, I can’t wait to treat your furry family member as my own, creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment they’ll adore. I’m a full-time animal lover so I will be home with your pet all day. I love being outdoors so I’m looking forward to being able to share my adventures with your fur baby whether it’s walking them at the neighborhood park that is a 2 minute walk from my complex, enjoying a sunny day at doggy beach or a night in relaxing on the couch watching movies where your pet will have their own bed that is better than most people’s haha. I live in an apartment with a good size patio that your fur baby can relax and enjoy watching birds and bunnies from a distance. There will be no other pets so they will be treated like the prince/princess that they are!
