“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of our cat several days in a row. She is consistently thorough with all of the tasks and takes a little extra time for playtime. Our cat clearly loves her! We do, too!”

About: I've provided reliable pet care for 7 years, handling everything from basic needs to complex medical routines, including medications and special instructions for pets with health concerns. Experienced with pets of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to your senior companions. With a focus on routine and reliability, I care for my pets daily and extend that same dependable, schedule-based approach to the pets i sit for. You can leave with peace of mind knowing I'll provide a trustworthy, secure space for your pet, with constant care, attention, and safety at the forefront.

About: I’ve been a go-to caretaker of pets for family, friends, and neighbors since a young age. Every animal is an individual with their own unique needs, motivations, things that bring them joy/comfort, and routines that support their wellbeing. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, horses/mules, farm animals, and some parrots. Senior and medically complex pets are some of my favorite critters to care for, and with years of dog and cat rescue under my belt, I’ve provided direct care to some animals in dire situations with confidence. I trust my ability to handle emergencies should they arise and behave in a manner that is in line with modern best practices of care. Additionally I am a sport/working dog handler and very comfortable with high drive breeds like shepherds, collies, and heelers. My daily life is dedicated to the wellbeing of my personal animals. Their enrichment and comfort is an utmost priority. At least once a week I go on outings away from our 6 acre property to get the dogs in new places and work on their training/getting to do fun things (I.e. going to the river, training at big box stores, joining a friend for a meal at a restaurant or park). The dogs are trained several days a week but also allowed time to just be dogs and goof around. Our cats are indoor-outdoor and live full and social lives. Our rabbit is a house rabbit seasonally, meaning she’s outside when the weather is nice, and inside to hang with the cats in the winter. She gets grass time and lots of back porch time where she can be her wild self. I will maintain your pet’s routine to the best of my ability, and they will be cared for to their unique preferences depending on their needs, wants and daily rhythms. Frequent potty breaks or litter box cleanings, access to fresh water in clean bowls, checking bowel movements and keeping up with medications, play time, walks, maybe an outing if possible, and appropriate rest periods to promote balance and wellbeing. Dogs in my care are transported via safety crates (ruffland) to greater ensure safety should we get into an accident, this also prevents issues with any animals that might be escape artists or destructive when left unattended or get bored easily. I travel with first aid materials on hand and work closely with several local veterinary practices who provide varied levels of care, from minor cuts/scrapes, to emergency events.

“Emily put my mind ar ease the minute I met her. I was gone for a week and did not worry at all about my cats, Cinder and Ella. The daily pictures and updates were especially nice! I hope Emily will be available and willing to watch them the next time I go out of town. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends many many times. I love spending my time with things I love and doing and I love spending time with animals. i'm currently not working so I have a lot of free time to make sure that the animals I am caring for are very well cared for I have a friendly cat and a fencing yard with a bunch of grass trees and shade so that your pet can stay cool while still having fun

About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.

“Excellent communication! Sarah came and did a few drop-in visits while I was out of town. She gave me great updates everyday. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I spent my college years working at kennels for cats and dogs. I’ve also been known to house sit for friends with multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, and chickens. I work part time at Frito Lay. I write full time (and take the occasional class). I travel a lot with work but keep a flexible schedule. I’m mostly interested in Drop In visits but will consider walks if a meet and greet goes well. Please don’t ask for an email or phone number outside Rover.

About: I have loved pets my whole life. My experience includes many years working for a local humane society, pitbull rescue, vet clinic, and doggy day care. I am certain that I can accommodate your furry friend regardless of their needs! I work full time, so I am only available for long-term jobs on weekends. However, during the week I am happy to come by to walk your pet after work or check in on them before and after my shift. I do not have a yard, but all pets that board with me would stay inside and only be let out on leashes for potties and walks. My home is animal friendly with hardwood floors, and there will be no table scraps or "people treats" given to pets. At night pets will stay with me in an enclosed bedroom (and are welcome to get up on the bed if so allowed by their pet parents).

“Kristy is awesome! She took such good care of our cat!”

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was around 10-11 years old. Trust me to take care of your fur (or fur less) babies! I’m currently working the weekends at a local vet hospital. I can check in on your pets anytime during the week or before and after my shift! I can offer just as little as feeding/watering but can also take your babies on walks, offer to stay the night for your pet, anything is fine with me!

About: I always strive to ensure that my clients certainty regarding their fur-babies needs are always met, their safety, comfort & happiness is paramount & knowing your home is secure & safe with me. I like to bring treats, which I will inform you of & only offer with your consent. Additionally I work with reactivity, past abuse history, disabilities & seniors. Because of the patience & time I dedicate to all animals my clients have the security knowing their babies & homes are safe with me. I will gladly send you videos & photos along with updates throughout the visit & upon request will take them to any vet appts. Always making certain they’re happy & well taken care of, I do offer overnights at your home for standing clients because I want to be certain that they feel completely comfortable with me in their safe space while you are away. I am very trustworthy, loving & responsible & will care for them just as you would. I am currently available all days of the week for a walks and drop-ins, & overnights upon request (for standing clients). All animals have individual needs & quirks. I understand this more than most because my fur baby has medical issues & is a senior that demand more attention than most. I will treat every pet as my own, because I understand the importance of peace of mind knowing they are safe & cared for & loved. I work with many seniors & several dogs with special needs & am happy to accommodate any of their needs or requirements, even if it seems silly to others. I want to ensure they are happy & healthy, therefore I also keep a close eye on any irregularities & inform you immediately.

“Alex was the perfect choice to care for my two rambunctious cats. I was on a 7-day cruise, so I knew I needed someone I could trust because communication can be an issue at sea. I was gone during a really cold week with ice and snow, but Alex was dependable to be there with my cats and my house. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and it was obvious the cats loved her. My house was clean when I returned, which was a relief! I highly recommend Alex and will use her again.”

About: I love all kind of animals! Every time I see a dog I always ask to pet the dog! I feel like I have a special connection with animals, they're so loving and always understand what you're going through. Animals show the love they are given. I will follow whatever is needed for your pet. I can be high energy which is perfect for anyone with a hyper dog, puppy, or kitten. But, I can also be low energy for those older or more shy pets. I am in the seasonal work, so as we are entering the winter months i am not working full time. That means I will have extra time to hang with your fur babies! I will be available to accommodate whatever needs to be ! My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is number one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life, and began regularly taking care of family and friends' dog and cats when I was 17. I am very attentive to the needs and body language of both dogs and cats, and adapt well to their unique behaviors and routines. I have experience with aloof/aggressive pets, senior pets, and young pets 6 months or older. I only work a couple days a week so I am comfortable with providing constant care to pets who cannot be left alone. I like to operate on a schedule so I am good about keeping up with bathroom breaks, feeding times, medications, etc. I am consistently available to care for your pets Sunday-Wednesday, and may frequently be available Thursday-Saturday as well (I do my best to update my calendar appropriately as far in advance as possible). I will request information about your pet's personality and care requirements prior to meeting with you. I ask that you allow me to meet your pet outside under your supervision before the stay begins, for both mine and your pet's safety and comfort.

About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.
