About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I understand that every furry friend deserves personalized care and attention. I’ve looked after a variety of pets, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and engaged while their owners are away. I am committed to providing a nurturing environment that meets each pet's unique needs, whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles on the couch. Additionally, I’m experienced in administering medications, so you can rest easy knowing that your pet will receive any necessary treatments with care and precision. Let me be your pet’s new best friend while you're away! I am currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for early-morning, afternoon and evening drops in visits and during weekends total availability. Meet and greets with pet owners. Providing regular updates and photos during visit. Adhering to pet medication instructions carefully. Maintaining a secure home environment for pets. Prioritizing the pets well-being. Clear communication with the owner to address any concerns that might rise.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters and dog walkers is my dog training and professional pet care background. I spent 2 years caring for service dogs in training, and I've spent over 3 years working in kennel environments with all different breeds, sizes, and temperaments of dogs, learning different types of handling and training styles. I have also been apprenticing a dog trainer for the past 2 and a half years, and have developed a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior. I want to go above and beyond and give your pets the best care. There are many skills I've learned at my previous jobs, including; dog first aid and CPR, the basics of fear free handling and cooperative care, how to administer different medications safely, how to quickly spot and begin treating possible health issues, and how to work dogs through some of the most common behavioral issues. In addition to the normal care your dogs receive, I can do short training sessions with your dog which is a great way to tire their brains out! I can work on basic obedience, leash manners, confidence building, etc. Message me for more information! ** I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians. If you need care for any exotic pets please message me for more info! Drop-ins: 30 minutes spent with your dogs, including: Normal care including pottying, feeding and medicating as necessary, physical and mental stimulation, light grooming, and snuggles. For longer bookings - $25/hr (2 hours minimum) Walks: 20-30 minutes walking around your neighborhood or a nearby location Letting your dog sniff around and stretch their legs! I prefer to walk one dog at a time vs multiple dogs at once Overnight sitting: Pricing on this starts at $125 a night. This includes staying with your dog overnight, and leaving them for no longer than 2-4 hours at a time in the day. Normal care including feeding, medicating, physical and mental stimulation, light grooming, and snuggle time. I will follow your dog's routine as closely as I can. I will also provide a lot of updates and send a lot of pictures!! In general, things that might make the price a little higher would be puppies who need more frequent potty breaks, doing multiple training sessions with them, taking them out on field trips, taking them to appointments, dogs with special medical or grooming requirements, etc. Please message me for more information!! -- I especially love working with puppies and setting up a strong foundation for them, or working with the "problem children" with some more difficult behavior... they remind me of my dog! I also love meeting more scared and shy dogs (especially chihuahuas)!! Wherever I work, I am usually the person who gets scared dogs to come out of their shell! Message me to set up a free meet n greet! I can't wait to meet you and your pet. :) Dog sitting and walking is currently my main source of income. This means any appointment can easily fit into my schedule, as long as I have some time to spend with my own dogs! All of my services are offered in the client's home. I treat every client's dog like they are my own. I mainly use positive reinforcement and I also have knowledge on fear free handling.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors since I was a 16 years old. I have experience with older dogs and aggressive dogs. I like to stick to the routines the dog is used to keep your dog, happy and healthy. I grew up with dogs and owned and trained two Australian Cattle dogs. I strive to meet the unique needs of each pet. I am getting back into the workforce after a leave of absence to help with family health problems. I currently have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to work mornings, afternoons and evenings, depending on your needs. I will take your dog on walks, play with them and feed them and make sure they get lots of love. I do not take dogs into my home, as my dog likes being the only dog, but will happily pet sit or walk your dog or dogs.


About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats ever since I was 12. It ranges from friends, family members as well as neighbors. I love animals so much they deserve to be treated with so much love. I do work full time at Bogie Lake Greenhouse but they are super flexible and I can come before, during lunch and after work if I’m scheduled that day. I’m super reliable:) I have a fenced in yard and if I am at your place I will make sure they are safe and I will follow your instructions and I would contact you if anything I’m unsure of.

About: I volunteered at the Humane Society in college. I currently have a 2 year old Lab that I trained myself since he was a 3 month old puppy. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s cuddles, long walks, or playtime in the yard, I’m here to provide love and attention just like you would. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home full-time with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, stick closely to their usual routines, and provide care that feels consistent and comforting. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company throughout the day, I’m able to be present and attentive. In your home, I always treat the space with respect and care. I follow detailed instructions and stick to the pet’s routine to help them feel secure in their own environment. I keep communication open with updates, photos, and messages, so pet parents can relax knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m clean, responsible, and make sure your pet—and your home—are well cared for.

All instructions left will be adhered to the highest degree to best suit you and your pets needs

About: My family always had a dog, and when I moved out on my own, the first thing I did was get my own! I now have a chihuahua/papillon rescue named Jorah Borkmont, who loves to play with others. I make my own hours out of the home, so I will only be out of my home for a few hours per day, and I can return when necessary (we have a dog camera set up). My husband works at home most days, so he will also be here to care for your dog. We live in a townhouse with an unfenced yard, but do have tie-outs and plush grass to relax and potty on. There are safe sidewalks and a new neighborhood in the building process for long walks twice per day.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Throughout my 21 years, I’ve had both dogs and cats, giving me firsthand experience in their care, needs, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also had the opportunity to dog-sit and cat-sit for others, ensuring their pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them some extra love, I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for in their home environment. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets. Whether it’s regular check-ins, playtime, feeding, or walks, I can easily adjust my day to fit their routine. Working from home also means I can provide companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets in a client’s home is a responsibility I take seriously. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following all provided instructions carefully, maintaining a clean and secure environment, and ensuring pets feel at ease in their familiar space. I always respect the owner's home by keeping things tidy and secure, locking doors when needed, and following any household rules. When it comes to pet care, I remain attentive to behavioral cues, ensuring pets are safe, happy, and stress-free. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or keeping a watchful eye during outdoor time, I handle every pet with the same level of care I’d give my own. Building trust with both pets and owners is essential to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and communication to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
