“April was so nice and great with Duke. I tend to be very anxious about him but she made me feel so at ease and sent an adorable picture of Duke on his walk!!”

About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!

About: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.

About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since I can remember. At 5 years old I found a kitten who desperately needed medical attention and nursed her back to health. I got to keep her for 20 amazing years. I’ve had cats and dogs alike growing up and enjoy the company of both. I’ve cared for all sizes of dogs and cats (even some exotics) throughout my life and love animals dearly. Friends and family have relied upon me to stay with their pets, along with check ins and routine walking/feeding/medicating. All normal day to day tasks of a good pet parent. ❤️ I’m currently working full time for Rover as an animal care giver to serve this area. This is just another way I can put my passion for animals to work. ❤️ I am available for boarding in my home OR yours. Questions? Just ask me and I’ll be glad to respond! Any routine can also be worked around easily, if your pet requires specifics. IF your pet is more comfortable in their own domain, then of course coming to you/them would be preferable to lower their stresses and anxiety. I have found a love in animal behavior and just want the best for the pets that are placed in my care. I believe being a Vet Nurse helps me go above and beyond for my clients and their furry family members.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I am an EMT-b and am working on my RBT certification, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

About: I've been an animal person all my life, having grown up on a farm with dogs, cats, cows, horses...and I even had pet chickens! I started dog and cat training at a very young age and never really stopped. I use positive reinforcement methods, and have had workshops with Karen Pryor, Susan Garrett, and several others. My dog, Cisco, and I have experience as a therapy dog team, going into nursing homes, schools, etc. Animals are fun and fascinating to engage. While you're away, I'll take good care of your furry friends as if they were my own, feeding them, playing with them, exercising them. I'm agreeable to working out a flexible schedule that works for you. I am currently doing graduate studies so therefore mostly flexible. Contact me and let us discuss what your needs are. Thank you for your time. I can care for your pet at your home, but don't have space in my home. I will look for the details in your profile about how you want me to care for your pet.

About: I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time. From back when I was a teen at home with our family cat to my own Tuxedo Kiwi I've been caring for cats all my life. I have a deep understanding of cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and providing the attention and care they need. I work from home as a software developer and am looking for something to break up my day between calls and project tasks. Being a remote worker means I don't get much excitement day to day. Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets! I live in my own home with plenty of space for walks, trails nearby for exploring, and an open and clean home for time away from the sun.

I have a very flexible availability, especially during the summers. During my time off I spend most of my time outside exploring the great outdoors! I have a securely fenced-in yard, and my resident bernedoodle is eager to make new friends (please note: your dog must be dog-friendly and comfortable around people).

About: Hello! I am a responsible, dependable, young working professional but a lady of many trades! One of those side gigs includes pet sitting furbabies! I am very outdoorsy and enjoyed hiking and trail running with my dogs (my Jack Russell Terriers recently passed away). :( In my undergrad days I worked for a professional petsitter company and have checked on a variety of critters over the years. I have cared for pets in a variety of settings; including overnight visits, transports, daily walks or just hanging out for play time. I would be happy to take your fur baby out for a hike or a game of fetch! I've cared for everything from puppies, horses, farm animals, wheel chair doggies, old kitties and everything in between! As a child I had a desire to be a vet and much prefer spending time with animals (small and large) over humans! When I am not out in the forest adventuring you can usually find me hanging with cute fur babies and talking to them like they are humans. :) I am also human wilderness first aid and CPR trained. I try to work with people on scheduling as best I can! I have a fairly flexible schedule but need a heads up to accommodate usually. I am a early riser and let my dog out super early so welcome early a.m. visits as your place or mine. Can also accommodate hectic travel schedules, I.e met at airport late flight arrivals, change of plans. I have a unfenced yard but plenty of property for daily walks. Property sits against fenced in horses on 1 side. I am routinely around during the day.

About: I have been around animals all my life. I had a bunch of different pets around the house growing up.

I graduated high school in 2014 and attended Blue Ride Communtiy College were I received my certification in Veterinary Assisting. After, I then went on to work at an animal hospital for a few years.

I can work around what ever schedule is needed to properly care for your pets needs. When caring for your pet, I would follow whatever instructions that you have left caring for you pet. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable as possible while your away.

About: My family has always had animals and we couldn’t live without them. I’ve always been the biggest animal lover 🖤🐾 no matter the size or breed, I’ll treat them like I would my own! My current schedule is flexible. I am always wanting to help others and I’ve been successful with making plans that work best for me and my clients needs. I prioritize my own health so daily walking and playing with your fur babies will be enjoyable for the both of us! 🥰 I am a nurse first but if I didn’t take care of humans for a living, I’d take care of pets without a doubt. I am patient, honest, gentle, and trustworthy. I’ve never met an animal who didn’t gravitate towards me. You can rely on me to get the job done.
