About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid, we've had everything from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and iguanas! And within all of that ive worked with elderly animals (mostly cats and dogs), including helping clean them and helping them use the restroom, and I've worked with all the baby animals too! I've helped with leash training, litter box training, learning how to play with toys and even crate training! I absolutely love animals and have always had a special bond with them. As a dad to 5 kiddos, 1 dog and 1 cat I know just how important the fury kids are! Looking forward to helping out with your pets and treating them like part of the family! I have 5 kiddos so we are always running around somewhere, but I would love my kids and your pets to be my full time job! Right now I work part time in a preschool but I would like a schedule that is a little bit more flexible so I have more time to spend with my family! All that to say my schedule is incredibly flexible at the moment so I'm ready to jump in! I have a fenced yard and 1 dog who is beyond friendly. She does amazing with other dogs and cats, she has never been aggressive towards animals or people and she loves to play! We keep a puppy gate at the end of the hallway so the pets stay in the main part of the house and so the kiddos can keep their bedrooms as their own space. We free feed and water Molly (our dog) but also have experience feeding on a schedule! Molly has some problems with her ears getting sore so we are very careful to clean her ears daily, I also have experience giving animals medications so I feel comfortable helping with things like that as well. Molly does sleep in an extra large crate at bed time (with her super fluffy puppy bed inside) but if I were to animal sit in our home I'm happy to care for them however you prefer! Mom and dad know their pets best!
“Allie did a fantastic job caring for our senior Puggle & Kitty. She ensured everyone was fed, walked, and cared for. I know they enjoyed having her company while we were traveling out of town. Thank you again!”
“Isabelle took excellent care of our two dogs, two cats, and plants while we were away. My husband’s flight home hit a major delay, and thank goodness, she was able to stay a bit longer with our babies. The pups enjoyed their daily walks, and plenty of playtime outside. She even helped get one of our dogs to his weekly daycare session! ❤️”
About: I have watched dogs of all ages from puppies to a 10 year old. Even though I don't have any formal training I can teach commands and potty training. I work part time in the evenings when my husband is home. I do leave during the day at times for 2 hours at the most for appointments for my kids. I love to stay busy and can help as many hours as you need. I live in an apartment but I do have 4 dogs, 3 cats and a gecko. My pets are a little rowdy at times but they all get along well even the cats.
About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for a year with all animals so you can always trust your animals are happy and healthy I’ve done many sitting jobs with small and large animals of all sorts from horses down to rats they all need taken care of and given extra love I can be very flexible with your schedule whenever you need a caring pet lover to take care of your animals collage will be coming up but shouldn't be to big of an issue I always make sure your animals needs are taken care of at all times working as a vet tech helped me grow the ability to ensure your animals best care is at hand.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have had mostly dogs. My kids are also very animal oriented. I have cared for praying mantis, hermit crabs, tortoises, cocktail, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunny. These are most of the pets I have cared for. Walking them, helping groom them feeding them and spending time with them. I have trained both my cat and my dog many commands. They both know sit, speak, the dog knows shake and can switch, the cat is learning. I just enjoy being around animals. If I could I would have many more, but that is why I am here, so I can visit with other animals. I am currently not working and just enjoy spreading time with my older kids and my pets. I have time on my hands and want to be with animals so I am doing this and lining into volunteer opportunities with the local shelters Right now because I have pets at home I would be willing to come to your home and take care of your animals. When my husband is home i would be willing to do overnights if needed
“John did a wonderful job watching Lily on incredibly short notice. We had one day to find and book a sitter and are so grateful John was available! Our dog is admittedly the dog version of a cat and incredibly suspicious of all strangers. He took that as a personal challenge and did his best to win her over! He kept a great eye on our house, even noticing the little notification our "smart" thermostat threw out. Lily was happy and healthy when we returned and our house was cleaner than how we left it! Highly recommend John, and would not hesitate to hire him again!”
“Kyla was wonderful and responsive and her photos showed how comfortable the cats were with her. She gave meds, did eye ointments and provided excellent care. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 13 years old, and even before so I’ve always loved helping out friends and family with their pets. 5 of those years I only had one dog, but I’ve now welcomed another pup into my life! It’s important to me that your pet(s) gets the quality care they deserve while you are unable to. While I am unable to pet-sit in my own home, I am most definitely able to house-sit and take care of any other needs! whether it’s walks, play time, cuddles, or the dreaded bath time, I am happy to do it all! You and your pets happiness is my number one priority. Ive trained both my dogs since they were small little puppies, and while I am no expert or professional, I can certainly help out with training! I am currently working part time, at home, with a very flexible schedule, leaving me with lots of available options to play/help care for your sweet pets!! Weekends work best for house sitting, but I’m always willing to work something out for you :). I take my dogs for walks daily, and am more than willing to do so with yours! I can feed, play, bathe/groom, and walk all that is needed for your fur baby.
About: I have been with animals my whole life. Though not certified, I have trained dogs to heard cows. I’ve also helped them with extreme behavioral issues. I love understanding a dog’s body language. To out it simply I know how to act around most dogs. I have also helped my family take care of puppies! I work a job at a day care center Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am able to let dogs out for a quick potty break around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I may leave for an hour or two during the weekend to meet up with my family, but never more than that if I am house sitting. I do my best to not only respect and love the animals of the home, but also your home itself. I will do my best to keep everything clean and leave it the way I found it. I am more than happy to meet an odd or long requests and instructions if they are written down for me!

Even when at work, I have a flexible schedule allowing me lots of time for extra attention As a pet watcher, they are my first priority.

“Alyssa was so wonderful! We needed a dog sitter last minute for a trip and she went above and beyond with taking them on walks and watching them for us while we were gone. She checked in and didn't hesitate to reach out with questions and updates!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and grew up helping care for them, including feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals and pet sitting for friends and family. I work from home, which allows me to be very present and flexible with pet care throughout the day. Pets fit naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. Because I’m home, pets receive consistent attention and aren’t left alone for long periods of time. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every home I care for. Since I work from home, pets are supervised throughout the day and able to stick closely to their normal routines. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs. I maintain a calm, clean environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.
About: I used to live on a farm when I was younger. I have owned everything from horses to snakes to chinchillas. I have had many dogs in my lifetime and have helped raise them. I treat animals with the same respect and care as I would treat humans with. I think all animals are good and just need the right love and care. I have helped with pregnancy and birth of my dogs. I have had to give medicine to my dogs like shots and pills. I’m currently auditioning as an actress so pet sitting works perfectly with my schedule. I can have more time to focus on my career while supporting myself. I have a fenced yard for any animals that need to roam and run around. My cats get fed once a day in the morning and they get plenty of exercise and are at a very healthy weight. They do get treats on the occasion. I have taken my previously owned dogs out for walks and I can walk until they get tired. I do not mind going out for walks. I have a doggie door for my cats that they go in and out of for going to the bathroom and roaming around.
About: I've had dogs since I was a baby, and I've gotten very good at understanding and caring for them. I'm open to caring for any and all animals, but dogs and cats are what I do best. I also am working on a groomers certification, and will be going to veterinary school. I've been training my parents pups for some time now, and I do basic grooming services such as baths, trims, and nail clippings. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for a while, and did basic grooming, walking, and doggy dates for them during that time. I'm not currently working and just focusing on finding something I love, which happens to be animals! I'm open to working with you on pretty much any schedule, within the correct booking period. I prefer a couple days notice to make sure I can properly prepare for the job. I always like to know where their food, medications, and other essentials are. I'll always ask for feeding and medication schedules, and I'll set a schedule for walks and potty breaks. I can do baths and basic grooming as well.
About: I have fostered a variety of animals for the past year such as bunnies, cats, and dogs. I believe it is essential for the caregiver to take in each animals personality and adjust as needed. Dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment. Currently a full time student so weekend tend to be the best time for when I can take care of animals. I currently have a cat of my own where I know having a good routine is essential for their well being. Willing to accommodate to whatever the owners needs are. I can take pets on walks and up to 3 mile runs. My biggest goal is the keep the pet comfortable and as relaxed as possible while owners are away.
