About: I have an associates degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. During that time I would often watch coworker's and friend's pets including both cats and dogs. I am experienced with giving medications and caring for senior pets who may need a little extra help and care! I am currently working part-time with a schedule that changes week to week. I am always available before 8am and after 7:30pm as well as most weekends. In all of my past pet sitting gigs, I have always tried my best to respect other's homes and traditions. I am very flexible and will always respect any and all wishes when it comes to your home an beloved pets!

About: I've been a reliable and eager sitter for many people's pets since I was 10 years old. I can check in on your pet and your house, take them for walks and provide other enrichment activities such fetch, playing with toys and lots of petting and belly rubs. I love all animals and I love being outside so I would do great with active dogs! I'm a teacher but I am available before work and after the school day to care for your pet. My weekends are very flexible. I am already an active person so walking your pets would easily fit into my daily schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard. I am attentive and responsible. I will treat your pet like they family member they are to you!

“Paige took on 2 visits for 3 cats at short notice. What a hero! (And she had to administer medicine as well!) excellent, clear communication and lots of photos so I could see my kitties were being well taken care of. Thank you so much, Paige!”

About: I’m an attentive and reliable walker who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I’m comfortable with leash handling and focused on keeping dogs safe, exercised, and happy on their walks. I have experience with a range of dog breeds (and cats) through friends, family, and roommates. I'm happy to adjust to each dog's needs, whether it's a relaxed walk or a faster pace. For dogs who enjoy it, I can also incorporate light jogging into walks. I'm also experienced with salt and freshwater fish, reef tanks, arachnids, aquatic invertebrates, specialized tank setups, and bird species ranging from parrots and doves to fowl. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines, and helping maintain stable environments during drop ins. I'm happy to provide updates and photos after a walk or drop-in visit. I'm currently a student who occasionally works on-campus a few times per month. On most weekdays, I'm readily available in the early mornings and afternoons/evenings to take care of your pet! On weekends, I'm even more flexible. On walks, I stay attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they don’t ingest anything harmful and to watch for signs of stress or discomfort. I position myself between the dog and the road, avoid high-traffic areas when possible, and choose safer, quieter routes. For birds, I monitor body language and ensure their enclosure is secure at all times. I can handle parrots if needed, but always prioritize their comfort and boundaries. For fish tanks and other small animals, I maintain strict hygiene by washing my hands before and after care. I follow detailed care instructions closely, including feeding, temperature checks, and maintaining stable environments. I ensure all enclosures are securely closed and handled carefully to prevent stress or escape.

“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”

“Heather did absolutely amazing with my pups! I am always nervous about having new people around my pups, but Heather connected with them really well and it was obvious she cared for them. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures. I am out of school for the summer, and working a few hours each week remotely. I have ample time to spend with your dog or cat. I am up early on weekday mornings to go to the gym, so I can do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care. I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.

“Jessica took great care of my pup, making sure she got enough play while I was away with friends so that she was ready to relax by the time I got home. Thanks, Jess!”

About: I have a family dog, and I have loved growing up with her. They are wonderful companions. I have been pet sitting for a family for over 3 years now, and I would love to do more! I am working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang out and help with pets! Most weekdays/weekends, I am free for your pet needs. I am good at working with both cats and dogs of any size. Just let me know if there is anything specific I need to do!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the responsibility I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve grown up around pets and currently have a rescue terrier mix named Benji, along with three cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve spent a lot of time dog sitting, walking dogs, and caring for pets for family members, including my grandparents. I’m also currently helping train a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. With plenty of trails near me, I can also provide fun, active walks for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I currently work at a dog-friendly business where I interact with dogs regularly, and I make time throughout my week to provide reliable care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also accommodate overnight stays when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions. I know that keeping pets on their usual routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. Whether that’s going for walks, playing with toys, or simply spending quality time together, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they’re away.

“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

“Alexis is the best and worked really hard to make Walter feel comfortable, I will definitely be using her again. Let me tell you a story. One morning, Alexis was checking on my dog. She accidentally locked herself out of my house. Bummer, right? I was really mad for a while. Not Alexis' fault, since I thought my roommate wasn't going to be home but he actually was and locked her out without realizing it. Anyway, instead of leaving my dog in the yard and leaving, she stayed with my dog until I came home from camping that afternoon, gave him water, walked him extra, and kept him from freaking out. She really treated my dog like her own.”

“Andrea was phenomenal! It is evident that caring for pets is her area of expertise. I was apprehensive about hiring someone to watch our cat but Andrea put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We received daily updates of texts and pictures which we looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. I look forward to having Andrea take care of our cat in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
