About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.

About: As a college student who genuinely loves animals, I bring both enthusiasm and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each dog’s individual needs—I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m especially attentive to safety and making sure dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can handle energetic dogs who need lots of exercise as well as older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays around my classes and have open availability on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and ensure a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, safe walking practices, and keeping harmful items out of reach. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy.

About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

Chloe was great at caring for Wilbur and Mesu! Mesu being the "old man", has also been very apprehensive of strangers. I swore Chloe wouldn't even get the chance to meet him. Yet, he came out t9lo greet her and even allowed for scratches! Chloe always showed up on time, and went above to make sure both cats were comfortable.

About: I’m a reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. At home, I have two dogs and a sweet, feisty kitty, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From playful walks to calm cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and comfort they’re used to while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work weekdays and typically get out of work at 3PM on Fridays, which gives me time in the afternoons for check-ins, walks, and spending time with your pets—whether that’s getting your dog out for some exercise or hanging out and giving your cat some attention. Saturdays I usually have open availability as well, making it a great day for longer visits, walks, or drop-ins, as long as I don’t have a ministry commitment or travel scheduled. I’m committed to being reliable and intentional with the time I do have, making sure your pets are cared for and comfortable. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and making them feel comfortable in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and boundaries so they feel safe and not overwhelmed. I’m mindful of keeping doors secure, monitoring leash safety on walks, and making sure pets are never put in risky situations. I also keep your home respected and tidy while I’m there. When caring for pets in my own home (if applicable for the service), I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets are never left in unsafe situations and are gradually introduced to any new surroundings or animals if needed. I prioritize comfort, structure, and attention so pets feel secure and cared for. Overall, my goal is to create a peaceful, trustworthy experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs my whole life. My dog is a very hyper medium sized shepherd mix, I've had her since she was a puppy, so I've been through the whole messy training process. I love dogs and all the walks that come with it. I am a full-time (dorming) college student, but I am fully available Friday evening to Sunday night. I unfortunately don't have my license just yet, but when I do I will be able to pet sit weekdays too. I prefer to pet sit in the client's home if possible. I have a very social and friendly cat, who doesn't mind staying in her little sanctuary if needed. I have a super friendly energetic dog, who is very playful, which can be overwhelming for some animals.

Jessie was great! She was reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of my pup. I especially appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule when I needed coverage. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands, and I'd happily book with her again.

Jessie took great care of our two dogs while we were away overnight. She communicates immediately and provided regular photos. We were able to enjoy our brief getaway knowing that we didn't have to worry about our dogs. She is a pleasure to work with and we would definitely call her again!
