About: I am responsible, respectful, and reliable. I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’m not going to let you down. I am semi retired and available most days. I do have some physical limitations, but we can address them as needed if that would be an issue. I can just let them out and check for food and water, I can take them for a walk, and I can work with special needs. The idea is that you feel comfortable knowing that you’re pet is safe and happy.
About: I am an active sitter that enjoys walks and wants your dog to be distracted while you are away! I grew up with cats and love them just as much. I work as a coach and have time throughout the day in the offseason to come over and walk your dog if needed. In the summer, we are off contract and have plenty of opportunities to help. I have a very needy Doberman so we take walks in the morning and evening every day. I also come home for lunch to make sure he can get outside.

“Kelsey was great! Super thankful for her being able to watch our cats while on a trip. Very attentive to the habits of our pets and very willing to engage with them whenever she came over.”
About: I’ve had countless dogs & cats my whole life and have done plenty of walking and sitting for other people’s pets so I have plenty of experience!

I can take the dogs on a week, feed them, play outside with them and give them some love and attention whenever I see them
About: I been around animals of all kinds my entire life. I've previously worked in a vet clinic and am currently working in the equine industry. I've handled all shapes and sizes of animals and am comfortable in most tasks. Boarding, walking, minor grooming needs like bathing and trims, I'm up for the task! I'm currently working a full time job but am looking to fill my evenings and days off during the week. I have an unorthodox "weekend" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that I would love to fill! I have two friendly dogs of my own in a quiet neighborhood outside of town. A decent sized yard with plenty of space to run and an ample amount of good walking spots!
About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.

Sherrie F.
“Sherrie is the best when it comes to dogs. She has one of her own. When she first got her dog from the shelter, the dog was very adamant of learning anything. With her dedication and love for animals, she was able to train her dog. Now, that dog is one of the sweetest. We have two dogs, our corgi babies. She watched our dogs multiple times. She’s our go to dogs-sitter (and babies-sitter at the same time) when my husband and I go for a date or out of town. Every time she comes over, our dogs wag their tails and very happy to see her. We are comfortable of her watching our kiddos (paw babies and hoomans) anytime if need to. Sherrie is extremely knowledgeable and is our go to person if we have any questions or need an opinion about anything pertaining to dogs. She provides such a wonderful, thoughtful, and caring service...you can't get that just anywhere. Our family is blessed to have her in our lives.”

Kylie L.
“Kylie is a wonderful pet sitter! She is the most reliable and responsible person, so if something is important to you, you can be guaranteed it will be important to her as well! Our French bulldog Albert was very well cared for, and Kylie goes above and beyond with the little things like throwing his favorite ball for playtime. He is a well cared for little guy and we highly recommend Kylie for all your pet sitting needs!”
Gayle M.
“Gayle is probably the most caring and careful person I know. She has a sense of responsibility that combines with her love of animals to create someone I would trust to care for any of my pets whenever needed. She has been left to care for my own dog dozens of times and I swear he loves her more than he loves me at this point. I can't recommend her enough.”
