About: I grew up with multiple cats and dogs so I’ve been around them my whole life. I currently own 2 cats of my own so I know what it’s like when trusting someone else with your fur babies. With the proper instructions I can deliver meds or even take a mountain of photos for updates with the fur kiddos, just lmk. I work in the evenings during the week so I’m free most weekends. During the week I can do anytime in the morning to middle afternoon. I have 2 cats that I love with my whole heart and have certain instructions for so I get it when other people have preferences of their own. As long as they are communicated I will do everything in my power to uphold them and if I can’t I would get in touch with the owner and come up with a game plan.

About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.

About: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself). With the knowledge I have gathered from both working in office, having pets, sitting family pets, and my many years of pet grooming I hope to make my home a safe haven for your pet. We can also discuss natural treatments for pets which I've studied for a while now when it comes to specific breeds, mixed breeds, and their genetic ailments. I will soon be making all natural dog & cat treats for pets. I can also train pets through the treat/clicker system which has worked well for all of my pets and a plenty of others. If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.

I’ve worked with animals in veterinary and grooming environments, so I’m comfortable in many pet care scenarios, including administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and helping maintain coats with brushing or basic grooming. I also have a special place in my heart for senior pets and anxious animals. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to move at their pace—whether that means slow walks, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine. Got a high-energy pup? Perfect. I’m an active person who loves long walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise. Got a couch-loving senior?

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats in the family household my whole life, and started sitting family friends pets at a young age! I’m a part time online college student and work part time at two jobs in costumer service, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible for whatever! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medications, and make sure they have a safe and stimulating environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting their space, and I keep pet owners updated with regular check-ins.

I’m big on play time, cuddles, walks and making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I do currently work full time, but am remote 3 out of the 5 days a week making it easy to check in on your beloved pets at any time! My 7 year old lab, and 4 year old dachshund are treated not as pets, but as my children. They are literal humans if you ask me!

About: I have had dogs of my own over the past 10 years, and have looked after several family and friend's dogs and cats many times. They have relied on me to walk, feed and house sit for their fur babies. I'm reliable and trustworthy. I have a very flexible schedule and can pop in for a quick visit or walk, or I can stay in your home for a longer term. Pets generally need a good amount of attention. I can bring calm comfort to an anxious or tired pet or go on a rigorous walk with a more rambunctious pet.

About: I am very energetic! I love to play outside with dogs. I love to play fetch and ball. I love to play in the sprinkler with dogs. I love to go on runs with dogs and make sure they are having the best time! I am always excited to play with dogs! I always make sure that they have the option to use the bathroom and always have access to water so they never get dehydrated. If they take any medicine, I make sure I have an alarm that lets me know it's time for them to take it! I always make sure that the dog feels comfortable at all times, and I always keep the owner updated to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I know your dog is your best friend, but when you can't be there with them, let me take care of them until you can! I do have base access! I have a very open schedule throughout the week and would love to play with your fur baby while you are away! So don't you worry, they will definitely get loved on until you get back! One way I ensure your baby is safe is by always going outside with them even when it's bad weather! I try to always make sure that your fur baby feels calm and safe no matter the situation. Another way I make sure they are safe is ensuring they are not in an area they are not normally allowed in alone. If we were to go on a walk or an adventure, I'd make sure they have on their collar and leash and of course send you lots of pictures while we're out!

About: I have hands on experience working at an animal shelter, where I regularly walked, handled, and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Through this, I’ve worked with energetic dogs, as well as shy or anxious ones who need extra patience and care. My experience has taught me how to read dog behavior and ensure safe leashing and a calm environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Pet care fits easily into not my daily routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my day to day meet to each pets needs. I do attend church on Sundays and Wednesday, but outside of those days I am highly available and committed to providing consistent and attentive care. In my home (boarding/daycare): I provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules as closely as possible. Dog walking: during walks, I focus on safety and exercise, making sure each dogs get the right pace and level of activity for their needs. Drop ins: when visiting a clients home, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and receive attention and playtime. I also respect the home by keeping things clean and following all instructions closely. No matter the service, I provide updates and make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and live while you’re away.
