“Very helpful!”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since i was a child, along with taking care of sick animals. I have also spent many years volunteering at different animal shelters. I am currently on summer break for college, so I have all the time in the world to take care of your furry friends! Any day of the week I’m available to keep your pets company and take care of them to my upmost best! I have spent my whole life caring for animals of my own and currently have two cats and a wonderful dog, so I know how to handle multitudes of pet care.

About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.

“Maya has taken my dog on two walks now and I'm very satisfied with the results. My dog, "Sissy" gets bored easily and starts to find her own "entertainment". After Maya spent time with Sissy, Sissy was content with lounging around the house until I got home from work. Maya sent pictures and quick updates of the visit assuring me that Sissy was getting great care.”

About: I was born and raised with dogs in our home and I have always had multiple dogs as an adult. My husband and I have fostered more dogs than I can count. I belonged to a dog training club for 20 years focused on teaching the average dog owner the basics such as potty training and manners. My friends and relatives entrust me with their dogs care whether it be drop ins or boarding in my home. I do not currently work outside of my home. I am available to let your dogs out while you work, bring them to my house for daycare and boarding is available. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I have a large fenced yard and 4 of my own friendly dogs. I can easily crate dogs if necessary. There is also room to separate any dog that may be unsure. There will be times when I will have them rest so that no one becomes overstimulated.

About: I have a great experience in senior dog care which may include more guidance, patience and frequent potty breaks. I also just had two puppies of my own who are 6 months old and have experience in handling them. I work a close by day job and have the flexibility to do 3-4 drop ins daily, and multiple visits if needed. I have the flexibility to stay overnight as well. Frequent potty breaks/walks are so important and also providing play is just as important. I would care for your pet like my own in regards to playing,walking,cuddling, meal time, and more.

“Was on time. Friendly. Great at handling a larger dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years! I even completely trained my old puppy to do all different kind of tricks, potty training, and behavioral tactics. I believe I am a very reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. I do work full time but can make plenty of time for any of your animals needs. My hours do vary but if we have compatible schedules, count me in. Whatever is asked of me, trust and believe it will be taken care of. Your fur baby needs taken out for a walk, done. Litter needs changed, done. Food and water needs refilled, done. I am a very reliable and dependable individual.

About: I am 23 & have owned and worked with many dogs and cats over the course of 4-5years through doggy daycare/boarding facilities, assisting with obedience training, medical situations, petsitting, and of course owning my own pets as well. Each animal has its own unique personality, traits, and quirks that make them special. Which is what I love about them so much! I work full time at a doggy daycare and have been for the past 3 years! It’s amazing getting to be around so many different dogs each day, I learn something new every day I understand different dogs have different needs, and different owners have different needs for their pets as well. Will do everything to keep the pet as happy and comfortable as possible while it’s people are away

About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention!

I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

About: I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for a wide variety of dogs. My daily responsibilities include administering medications, cleaning and maintaining living spaces, walking, and socializing the animals. I also assist with humane calls and the safe capture of stray dogs. With this experience, you can be confident that your pets will receive their medications on time and that their environment will remain clean and well managed. In addition to my professional work, I have been a lifelong dog owner, which has given me years of personal experience in providing attentive and compassionate care. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. At the animal shelter where I currently work, I spend each day administering medications, cleaning, feeding, walking, and socializing dogs. Beyond my work responsibilities, I also care for my own pets at home, which means I’m consistently providing structure, attention, and affection. Because pet care is already a regular part of my professional and personal life, it fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. In my home and in clients’ homes, I make pet care a top priority. I focus on providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications, going for walks, engaging in playtime, and offering plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to maintain a tidy space and monitor for any changes in behavior or health so pets stay happy and well cared for. My goal is to make pets feel secure and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own.

I work from home so am available all day for any of the pups needs:)

About: Growing up my family always had one or more dogs so we definitely had our hands tied, additionally, to make some extra money when I was a kid my brother and I would offer to walk dogs around our neighborhood. I moved forward with the love for handling pets and creating new appreciation for the impact they really do have on our lives whether it’s my own pet or someone else’s. I recently took care of one of my best friends dogs every Wednesday for a few months while she had clinical all day, and it really revitalized my passion for being around animals. I’m a big outdoorsy girl and love to hike so being able to do a service outside is like two worlds colliding- it’s the best! I currently work full time, 8am-5pm. However I wake up around 5:45 every morning and am available until 10 til 8am. And I’m available after work until just a little after dusk, so around 7:30-8pm. I have a pet of my own, a cat! Her name is Kai and I’ve had her for a little over two years now. She is my best friend and it was truly the best decision ever to adopt her!

“Jeannine was so helpful to us when we had another dog walker cancel last minute!! She stepped in & did an amazing job with Oakley! He loved the belly rubs & her company, I’ll definitely keep her in mind the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I truly adore animals! I am a fur mamma of a long haired 18 year old cat LuLu and a 10 year old pomchi names Frankie. They bring me so much happiness! I love spending time with them and miss them dearly when I leave for trips. I know what a comfort it is to know your fur babies are in good hands when you're away! I've had pets my entire life and realize that no two are the same. I have experience with finicky eaters and all kinds of fury personalities! I am not afraid to take care of a challenging pet! From walks, playtime, all the good pets and brushes, snacks and feeding I am a girl you can count on! I run a small jewelry business with my best friend making real pressed flower jewelry. I have the ability to create a very comfortable schedule for myself. January-May my schedule is very open, especially during the week! Towards the end of summer we begin market season. My schedule may vary but is still very accommodating! I am very trustworthy, caring, and dependable! I feel I make a great house sitter because I would respect your home and fur family as though they were my own!

About: I’m home full time and love going on walks! I have a golden doodle who is 5 and loves friends. I’m very flexible with my availability. I had dogs growing up and my family loves them! I provided care for several years while I lived in Colorado. Now I’m in Ohio and would love to do the same. Our neighborhood is great for walks. We have a large yard that isn’t fenced. I have three children 5,7,9 that live all animals. I’m a stay at home mom with 3 kiddos who are very well acquainted with all size and ages of dogs. We are involved in activities but always make time for our furry friends. We love on them with cuddles. We have a large crate we can put them in if needed. We also have a separate room if they need some space.

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our house from bulldogs to an English mastiff. I currently have a 6 year old sharpei mix that I absolutely adore. I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends since I was 14 and love it. I’ve worked with puppies and dogs as old as 14. I would love to get to help other people out because I know how big of a hassle it can be to try to work around a work or vacation schedule to make sure your dog is taken care of. My dog has a tie out that he gets connected to when he needs to go potty, we do not have a fence due to living on a large piece of land. When he’s off leash he has an e-collar that allows me to keep track of his location. As far as taking care of other peoples dogs goes I just do as I’m told or whatever is requested. If you’d like your dog to be leashed, great! If you’d like them not to be leash, also great! Put them in a crate while no one is home, can do! Whatever they’re used to is what I will do, keeping them in a routine is so important.

About: I treat every animal as if it were my own pet- with lots of love, care, and compassion. I’ve watched many many animals over the past couple years and have loved every second of it. I know how to give many types of medication to different animals as well. I am able to help out with any animal needs outside of my normal job. I always make sure they have what they need, get love, and get some energy out! I treat every animal as if it were my own. Lots of love and care go into every animal I watch/take care of. I try to make it so the animals aren’t focused on missing the owner as much. For house sitting, if possible, I always ask if my fiancé can come stay as well as I have trouble at new houses alone. I always will try to make it work if not though! He will also come with me to meet you and your fur babies for a more peace of mind if needed!

About: I've been around all different kinds of animals since I was a little kid. So I’ve had 10 + years of animal care experience. I know how to take care of them and animals usually like me.
