About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs.

About: I have never lived without pets around me. With two dogs, 2 cats, and a rabbit as my loves, I’m used to caring and keeping our furry family safe and happy! I am the friend that would be called when someone had to go on vacation, and the family member who has no problem staying home with the pets too. I have had small to big dogs. Small cats and fat ones. Young and old. Each one very loved by me and I want to share that dedication with you and your pet- ❤️ I have experience with giving pets medications, helping puppies with routines, and being gentle with seniors and those with disabilities. I’m ready to meet you and your furry family! I currently am a student getting their BA in Biology, and to fund this education I have no problem helping others out by watching your pets! I have a set schedule of my classes and I have gaps or days where I am free and glad to make time. I am flexible. Visiting your home I will be respectful always and abide by any rules you may have in place (shoes off at the door for example haha!). I will also always keep your pet(s) in sight and be sure to watch and keep them out of trouble- or give them some company and play time as they wait for you! I will gladly give update photos and or calls if you request. Please don’t hesitate to ask because I am glad to keep you comforted that your pet(s) are safe and sound. Before I leave I will make sure your pet is put away properly (by your request) and/or check the environment in case I notice any possible hazards before I leave (no leaving the treats out ;) ).
About: I’ve been petting sitting my aunts dog for 6 years. I’m a dog lover and I adore spending time with dogs. I enjoy knowing every dog is different in their own way. I pet sit my aunts dog on the weeekend while she out for work. Whenever I have free time I enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure the pets needs are taken care of for example made sure they have eaten, drank water, play games and have gone to the bathroom. I ensure the pet is well taken care of.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a teenager, and over the years it has grown from a personal passion into something I truly love doing for others. From daily walks with my own dogs, to providing reliable pet-sitting for family, and caring for friends’ cats while they’re away, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are well cared for and happy! *MIDDAY HOURS ONLY AVAILABLE WEEKENDS* I'm currently working full-time at an elementary school until 3:30 pm, so I will have plenty of time to care for and hang out with your furry family members in the early evenings before you come home from work or any time during the day on the weekends! When I care for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets on their regular schedule and in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter changes or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and of course lots of affection. I also make sure homes are left neat and secure, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
