Dog Sitting Industry

About: I have been around dogs and other animals since I was an infant. My family has consistently taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I especially love training and taking dogs on enrichment activities. Pet care is a daily responsibility that requires singular attention on the animal with no multitasking. Animals need more than just food and water; they require attention and enrichment daily. Animal safety means thinking ahead and preparing. Each animal has specific needs that will allow them to thrive when met. It is important that an animal have its own space such as a crate or perch, and that they are supervised when on walks or in a new environment.

“Christina is great! She is a lightning-fast communicator, which any anxious pet owner knows is a big deal! She took the time to get to know my cats, but respected their comfort level, and asked thoughtful questions during intros!”

About: I’ve had a passion for animals my entire life! In fact, I always thought I’d be a vet but ended up going into human medicine instead. Growing up, my family had a Brittany spaniel named Dixie. She was my best friend! I enjoyed taking her for walks, training her, and giving her lots of love. We also had a cat, who I helped nurse back to health after she was hit by a car. My neighbors entrusted me with taking their dogs out to go potty and for walks from a very young age. A few years ago I adopted a stray cat who I named Daniel. She’s the best! I also have an Australian shepherd named Meeko. I enjoy training him and seeing how smart he is! I love the challenge of keeping up with his high mental and physical demands! I would love the opportunity to help take care of your pets as well! I currently work full time, so I am only available to provide pet care in the evenings and weekends. My schedule varies each week so let me know what you need and hopefully I’ll be able to help! I am able to take your pet out for bathroom breaks, walks, play with him/her, feed him/her, help train, etc. I will go above and beyond to provide the best care to your furry friend!

“Michelle was great! She was very attentive and provided summaries and pictures after each visit, cleaned the litter boxes, and played with the girls with their favorite toys. They were very happy to have her company. I highly recommend her!”

We have raised dogs, cats and rabbits. Our son has been raised with dogs and cats and is very good with animals of all kinds.

On those rainy days we like to sit in the living room and relax. Our dogs enjoy being brushed and just being loved on. Whether it is a stop in visit or boarding I can provide the love and care your dog will need to stay healthy and happy. I'm currently a gig worker(Doordash, etc). So my schedule is very flexible.

About: Hi! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up babysitting tons of puppies and adult dogs. I also have a so much love for them and they make me so happy. I have lots of experience with small dogs! I have a house with an enclosed big backyard as well! I will never be leaving them at home and will cuddle and be able to play with them 24/7. I currently am a student and I don’t have classes everyday or another full time job! I have a lot of time to give to these dogs. I make sure the dog is comfortable and safe. My number one priority is having them be as relaxed as possible and enjoy their day! I will always be at home which allows for regular potty breaks and a fenced in backyard as well to maximize their playing time. I have tons of experience with puppies as well!

“We have two large dogs, that require a ridiculous amount of attention, especially since one is very sharp/shy. We asked Katrena to come meet our dogs a couple times, to make sure that they would be compatible with her, and her with them. She was very prompt and on time with both meetings prior to actually being hired. She was very attentive to our dogs, and took plenty of time to make sure they, and we were comfortable with leaving the dogs in her care. Not only did our dogs accept her, but they absolutely adored her. Her attention to detail was second to none. She was prompt each day, and made sure that the dogs were calm, before leaving, especially because of the fireworks for Independence Day. We were very comfortable knowing that our dogs were well taken care of, and that she was accepted as part of their pack. If you’re having any doubts about your pets companion in your absence, I assure you you won’t after leaving them in the care of Katrena. She treats them as her own, and she never seems to tire from giving belly rubs. We will be using her again, in the near future, and so happy that we decided to hire her for the care of our dogs.”

About: I have taken care of my friends dogs for multiple nights in a row while her and her family were on vacation. Done this multiple times. I am part time. I am home from school in the summer so I can only provide some of these services right now. But I usually don’t have to work until 4pm. I have 6 cats and they are all pretty chill. Just the usual feeding and cleaning the litter box. I also love to cuddle so they are definitely loved.

About: I absolutely love spending time with furry friends! I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even some shy rescues. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, playing fetch at the park, and giving all the belly rubs they deserve. I’m responsible, punctual, and make sure each pet gets personalized attention and affection while you’re away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible class schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets throughout the week. I usually have mornings and evenings free, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals is a great way for me to relax and recharge between classes—it honestly makes my day better! I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live just a short walk away from a beautiful dog park where pets can get plenty of safe, supervised outdoor time. I always keep dogs on a leash during walks and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. At home, I have two super friendly resident pets who love meeting new friends and are great at helping other pets feel relaxed and welcome. I keep my space clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with lots of cozy spots for rest and play. Your furry friend will be treated just like family here! 🐶💛
