“Isaiah was reliable and gave our dog everything he needed. Isaiah was also very willing to learn how to give our cancer kitty her subcutaneous fluids which I appreciate because it’s something that others can be very nervous about doing. Thanks, Isaiah!”

“Sarah was phenomenal! All 3 dogs warmed right up to her immediately, and she did a perfect job with all the detailed instructions we left her; including giving time-sensitive anti-seizure medications.”

“Tina is a wonderful and reliable petsitter. She cared for our two Boxers and one cat in our home for 10 days and we got very sweet photos. House was in the exact condition we left it when we got home. All pets were happy. The dogs snuggled with Tina in bed every night, just like they do with us. Shy kitty cat even came around to get some love. Definitely recommend.”

About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animals in the home all my life. I also have years of experience with equine care. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I've had dogs of all ages, so I have experience with both seniors and puppies. Though I have a part-time job, my availability is still quite flexible. Your pet will be housed with mine and treated just as my own. I have a spacious fenced-in yard and plenty of indoor space. My two very friendly dogs will keep your fur baby company. Crates are also available if needed.
About: I have the most experience caring for Dogs and Cats but have also cared for Fish, Rabbits, a Tortoise, and a Bearded Dragon. I am open to caring for other types of animals. I currently provide childcare 2-3 days per week and will have to schedule around that. I can be somewhat flexible, so if you need help on a day I have marked unavailable, ask. We might be able to work something g out. As a currently pet-less animal lover, I am excited for the opportunity to spend time with and care for your animal(s) according to your instructions.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and recently I’ve been going to the cat cafe here to make sure I know how to properly socialize with kitties! I have the same schedule at work every week so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your babies! I can always move around some things if needed. My apartment is very safe, and has a huge grass field for dogs to play in! For kitties I have a good sized apartment that they can run around and play in.
About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets since I was 12 which includes staying overnight at their homes when they are gone for weeks. I do long and short care sitting for pets. I love to spend time with pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. I am currently not working right now but will have a part time job soon. I will talk with the owners and work out a good schedule that will work best for all. Growing up we have used an invisible fence and radio collars to keep our dogs in our yard. We made sure to check in on them periodically while they were outside. While I'm taking care of my friends pets, I would play inside and outside with them, go on walks with them, and make sure they get the best care.

About: I have had pets my entire life of all ages, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and rodents/small animals. I was always relied on to clean up after them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them, which has given me a strong passion to be around animals of any kind and age. I work part time every other weekend Friday-Monday, otherwise I am free preferably during the week, but am willing to do check in’s on weekends. I would prefer to pet sit in the clients home as my space is rented and unable to house more pets than I already have, due to limited space. I will happily keep your pet entertained, fed, hydrated and make sure any pent up energy they may have is taken care of by taking them for walks/runs if they are high energy.
“Emily did a fantastic job of caring for all 3 of my animals, watering the indoor and outdoor plants as well as leaving my home just as clean as she found it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Rowan stayed with our blue heeler in our home for 6 days and was great with her. He was very patient and tolerant of her quirky habits. He took her for walks, car rides, played with her a lot and sent me many pictures. Rowan is very dependable and responds quickly to texts and asks questions if necessary. Thanks Rowan! Loved that you gave Terra your full attention while you were here.”

About: For years I have walked and taken care of my neighborhoods dogs. I even had a dog myself and would take him on walks everyday. I now have a cat with my significant other and love playing with him. When I get home from work I like to go on walks, but I miss walking my late dog so walking and taking care of someone else animal would make me happy and also them. Making sure the yard is safe and doors or fences are close before letting the animals out. Making sure everything is put away and not in reach of the animals unless it is their toys or things meant for them.
About: I am an experienced and reliable pet and house sitter with a deep love and respect for all animals. I understand that leaving your pets and home in the care of someone else can be stressful, which is why I strive to provide the highest level of care and attention to ensure your peace of mind while you are away. I have over 4 years of professional pet sitting experience. In addition, I have had dogs my entire life. I have experience with some dog training, medication administration, puppy care, etc... I am a college student. I have a flexible schedule and I am able to accommodate last minute bookings as needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I am happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have in place for your pets to ensure their comfort and well-being. In addition to caring for your pets, I also offer house sitting services such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and taking care of any other tasks that may need to be done while you are away. I understand that each and every pet is unique, with their own personality, needs, and preferences. From high energy dogs (and puppies), who love endless playtime to low energy dogs (and senior dogs), I've got you covered! Whether its daily walks, feeding routines, administering medications, or providing companionship, I'm committed to tailoring my services to suit your pets individual requirements. I approach each pet sitting opportunity with genuine love and affection for animals.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so understanding their needs and behavior comes naturally to me. I am very patient and can read dogs well, making sure they feel comfortable and safe in my care. More than just a job, pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy because I truly love animals. I’m not doing this just for the money—I miss my own dogs back home, and spending time with pets brings me happiness. Every dog I care for will be treated like family, receiving love, attention, and the care they deserve. With me, your pet will feel at home. I have a flexible schedule because I work independently and can choose my own hours. This allows me to be available for pet sitting and dog walking at various times throughout the day. I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of pet owners, making sure their pets get the care and attention they deserve. This flexibility is one of the reasons why pet sitting is a perfect fit for me. I live in an apartment without any pets, making it a calm and comfortable environment for dogs. I have a roommate who also loves animals, so your pet will be surrounded by friendly energy. There is a yard available, although it isn’t fenced in, but I live in a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks and walking-friendly areas where your dog can enjoy safe and fun walks.
About: I have cared for dogs my entire life, including my current pets: a playful Golden Retriever puppy and a 1+ year old mixed Lab. This experience has taught me how to handle dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I am great with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving extra attention to puppies or senior dogs. I also communicate regularly with owners, sending updates and photos so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I study Criminal Justice mostly online, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide consistent pet care. I can offer walks, playtime, feeding, and attention while balancing my studies responsibly. I make sure every pet is safe, happy, and comfortable while I’m caring for them. During walks and visits, I keep pets under supervision, follow all instructions, and give plenty of attention and love. I also provide updates and photos to owners, so they can relax knowing their pets are well cared for.
“Hannah was fantastic! She helped us out very last minute, punctual and reliable. She took excellent care of our Louie and Lily and gave us frequent updates. We can’t wait to have her come back!”
