About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with different schedules and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I’m looking to take on as many pet care opportunities as I can! I take pet safety and comfort seriously and always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with patience. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and keep pets in a clean, safe environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“Chelsea is great! She arrived on time, sent proactive messages before, during, and after walking my dog, and clearly loves animals! We felt like our pet was in great hands with her and plan to book her again.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, basic grooming like brushing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as they would at home. I also make sure owners feel at ease by providing updates and photos so they know their dog is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than rushing visits. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every dog in my care is supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs their dog may have. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure dogs are comfortable and not stressed. I also keep a clean and organized environment, remove any potential hazards, and make sure dogs are always handled with patience and care. When outside, I prioritize leash safety and awareness of surroundings to ensure safe walks. Building trust with both dogs and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and dependable experience for every dog I care for. 🐶
About: I’ve been caring for my own animals since I was a child, and professionally since I was a teenager. Animals soothe my soul and I love having the opportunity to spoil your pets like I do my own! I know the value of an attentive and communicative caregiver, and I love to keep my clients informed and aware of how their babies are doing! I am an educator and off for the summer, so I have lots of time to love on your pets and tire out your dogs with activity and walks! My schedule is very flexible and I communicate well, don’t be afraid to ask for what you need! I will treat your home and neighborhoods with the upmost respect of space, privacy, and cleanliness. I believe in respecting the boundaries of your home and leaving no mess or stress for you to come home to!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience raising my own golden retriever, who is now seven months old. I’ve personally taught her everything she knows—from basic commands to leash manners and good social skills—and she’s already a very well-behaved dog. This experience has given me a lot of patience and understanding of the consistency puppies need to thrive. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors, and always pay close attention to each pet’s unique routines and personalities. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, keeping an energetic puppy engaged, or providing a calm environment for an older dog, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work in healthcare, so I usually only work 2 to 3 times a week, and during the time that I work. My boyfriend is usually at the house! So there’s always somebody here! I have a fence yard, as well as a big space! And the clients home, I will do my best to maintain their rules, as well as routine for the pet sake, as well as for my sake!!
About: With over 20 years of animal care experience, my top priority is providing a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment for your dog. My approach is built on a foundation of respect for each animal's individual personality and needs, ensuring they feel secure and loved throughout their stay. Our property is a canine paradise! With just under two fully enclosed acres to explore, your dog will enjoy the perfect blend of sunny open grassy areas for play and a peaceful forest for sniffing adventures. This isn't just a yard; it's a daily adventure. My experience spans all stages of life, from energetic puppies requiring patience and training reinforcement to senior dogs who need gentle companionship and precise medication administration. Having worked closely with professional trainers as a passionate hobby, I'm skilled in maintaining routines and positive reinforcement.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 11, administering medicine, taking them on walks, and keeping them company while their families are away. I’ve gained trust from friends, families, and neighbors over the years and love doing it! I am student teaching this year, so weekdays will often be occupied for me once the school year starts. However, weekends and evenings should be available, so just ask! I have cared for many dogs and cats with different needs, so whatever you would like me to do for them, I can. When pet sitting, I like to make sure to keep the pets company while their families are gone by hanging out and playing with them as much as I possibly can while they’re under my care. Even if I have work to do, I do my best to do everything at the house so that the pet is not alone.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently share my home with two sweet cats, one of whom requires daily insulin—so I’m comfortable with specialized care, including giving injections and managing feline diabetes. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family for decades, providing everything from daily walks and meals to snuggles and playtime. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or your kitty needs a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. My approach is calm, caring, and always based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. I’d love to meet your furry family member and be someone you can trust while you’re away! As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care on your animal’s schedule—not mine. Whether it’s a morning visit, mid-day medication, or evening check-in, I can adapt to what your animal needs. My remote work lifestyle allows me to be present, responsive, and consistent—ensuring your furry friend gets the care and companionship they deserve while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and creating a calm, familiar experience while you're away. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication (including insulin injections), litter box cleaning, walks, or playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a peaceful space, clean litter, and the gentle companionship they need. For dogs, I provide regular walks, exercise, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and relaxed. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer dependable, responsive care tailored to your pet’s needs.
About: With my nursing background and having my own animals, I am knowledgeable and competent in handling/administering medications and mostly anything medical related with your pets. I have two animals of my own and have owned various pets throughout my life (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc). I am experienced in sitting various animals of all ages and would truly be honored to meet and love on your kiddos. I am available most days of the week since I am currently only working as a nurse part time. Other than my own two pets, I do not have any other commitments. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own environment so that they are comfortable. However, I am willing to house sit at my home if necessary.
About: We have been caring for dogs for many years. Starting from puppies to full grown dogs over the years and know how to understand what a dog needs for a healthy, happy, and full life. Aharon works from home most of the time. With just one dog at home it would be easy to add another. It’s easy to add another to the pack! We take our dogs outside for exercise twice a day and have play sessions in between. We have 1800 sqft of interior space for the dogs to play and chill with a fenced backyard. The area is residential and lots of families around that know us.
About: Experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong background in animal care, having owned and cared for small to medium-sized pets since age 6. I’ve provided pet sitting for family members’ large dogs and cats, handling feeding, playtime, and daily routines with care and attention. I also have hands-on experience raising kittens from just days old, including bottle feeding and monitoring their health. I genuinely love working with animals—especially fluffy ones—and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I am currently seeking pet sitting opportunities and have a flexible schedule during the week, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I work all day Saturday, Sunday, and wednesday; I work half days Monday and Tuesday and I am off thursday and Friday. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize creating positive, calm interactions—whether that’s playing, comforting anxious pets, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or any messes, and giving them attention through playtime, petting, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I also make sure doors, gates, and safety areas are secure before leaving.
