About: With over a decade of experience in animal husbandry, I care for pets of all ages and species. Iâve provided reliable pet sitting through college and now as a biology professor, handling everything from daily routines to medications and special needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for just as if you were home. Flexible for mornings, nights, and extended stays. I teach from morning to midday on weekdays. I usually wake up early to spend time with clientâs pets or my own and have plenty of time to work in enrichment time and meals in the evening. Itâs very important to me to provide a sense of normalcy to your pet. I may start out as a stranger but your pet and I will soon become best buds. I keep a strict schedule for check ins and they very quickly pick up that Iâm keeping with the program and this eliminates a lot of their stress. I prefer to stay in your home and stick to your walk schedule (unless youâd like a field trip to a walking trail) so that the only change they have to deal with is missing you!

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 7 years old and was studying for Veterinary school until I had a falling out with my parents in my third year of college. I am working to get my degree and saving up for tuition to finish my studies so that I can pay back to my community what it has provided me with during the last 15 years. I plan to provide affordable healthcare for animals and am an advocate for pets. I believe in a world where you can afford to buy both good, nutritious foods and the vaccines your pets need. I am incredibly patient and extremely caring when it comes to our four legged children. I have never raised a hand to a dog, and of yet rarely been bitten. I work four days, off for three. I am off Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and can also network with other caregivers who can take clients if I am booked. I no longer board due to moving, but I will gladly come spend time with your pets however you need. I do long distance, off-site walks for dogs with a strong migration drive, as well as hang out with your fur babies at home.

About: Hi! My name is Sierra, and Iâve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for them, understand their behavior, and enjoy their company every day.

Iâm responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Iâd love the opportunity to care for your furry friend as if they were my own! Iâm currently a full-time traveler with a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to be available most days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and even short notice bookings. My lifestyle gives me the freedom to adapt to your dogâs needs and routine, whether itâs a daily walk, occasional drop-in, or a last-minute outing. When caring for pets in their home, I always make it a priority to follow the ownerâs instructions closely to ensure your pet stays comfortable and safe in their familiar environment.

About: Hi! Iâm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats (two Iâve raised for over 3 years) and two dogs â one whoâs been with me for 5 years and is now a senior with different needs, and another Iâve had for 2 years. Over the years, Iâve helped groom and care for pets belonging to friends and family â including baths, brushing, light nail care, and general pet hygiene. I also have experience with puppies, helping young dogs learn basic routines and good habits with patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a consistent diet and exercise schedule, and I always prioritize their comfort, emotional well-being, and safety. Whether Iâm walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your pet, I care for them like theyâre my own. I have the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care every day after 2:30 PM. This gives me plenty of time to focus on your petâs needsâwhether itâs feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply spending quality time together. Iâm dedicated to maintaining a consistent routine, so your pet will receive regular care and attention without feeling rushed. Whether itâs daily walks, playtime, or just companionship, Iâm here to make sure your furry friend feels happy and loved while youâre away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where each animal feels comfortable and well-attended. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and play, ensuring they get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I respect their space and household rules, maintaining consistency with their usual schedules for feeding, walks, and rest. I make sure to keep the home secure and clean, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel confident their pet is well cared for. In both settings, I prioritize the petâs well-being, comfort, and happiness, treating each one like family.
