About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. My dog was my best friend, and I made sure to be responsible so I could have her. I had her until she was 14, so I am also experienced with Senior care. I've cared for all sizes of Dogs and cats. I don't just provide for the furry ones, I make sure they get exercise too! We'll play with any toys available and get treats if allowed. I'll care for them like they are family, because they are your family! I'm self employed and I work from home. I have a 3 year old who is in daycare during the day. I am a full-time razorback student, I attend online. I have a home with a good size backyard. I have 2 labs who are socially friendly. I also have 3 cats who keep to themselves. My home is great for most pets! At your home I will follow your plan. I can take the dog on walks or rides. We can play in the yard if applicable. Any rules or guidelines will be followed! I have experience giving medicine and cleaning up messes. I love to play and give pets, but I am also firm if I need to be. I know how to let your pet know that certain behavior isn't okay without needing to scare or harm them. I also know to keep my distance if your pet isn't really social and likes their space. Feel free to leave me as many notes as you'd like and even send videos of things you think I'd need to know!

About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old. We have mostly had Dachshunds and a Spitz mix along with cats. I also help my Sister in law with her dog training business and house sitting with her large dogs. I currently have open availability to take care of pets and spend as much time with them as possible. My schedule is flexible and can revolve around your pets needs. I love to play with you pet and spend time cuddling with them. I am open to interacting with them however they want! I love pets of all personalities!

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.

About: I've been an animal shelter volunteer and pet parent for the last 16 yrs, fostered cats and dogs (from babies to seniors) in my home for the last 12 yrs and have been the go-to cat & dog sitter for countless friends & family since college. I have extensive experience caring for senior cats and dogs as well as training and experience with pets with anxiety issues; especially rescues. I truly love animals and would love to care for your "furbabies" while you're away! I'm happy to care for your pets in whatever way you/they require in your home. Frequent walks and outdoor potty breaks are no problem! I'm also happy to bathe and/or medicate your pet if needed. I'm currently in grad school full-time and work part-time. My schedule can be somewhat flexible with at least 1 wk notice. However, I do typically work 12-6pm Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun, so if you're looking to book me on weekends, please keep in mind that your pups will have to go about 6.5hrs without a potty break. For the time being, I am only doing in-house pet sitting at the pet's home. I don't have a fenced yard and therefore don't feel comfortable watching pets in my home.

About: I’ve never not owned dogs and cats. I’ve been with rescues and fosters, I love taking care of animals no matter the type, they all have their own individual big personalities and I adore that, I love getting to know an animal. When I was 13, I played a big role in caring for our puppy, Ashes. I have experience training her, and following puppy feeding and potty schedules. Some of our fosters have been elderly. To me it’s really important to be gentle with them. They are just as worthy of love as any other. Same goes for special needs dogs. We fostered a boxer named Carly, who was blind. She was one of my favorite fosters. I work full-time, so I’m not able to accept house sitting requests. I can do drop-ins if I can work it around my schedule a little, as I work 5-7hour shifts. As I’m looking to care for pets in client’s homes, I plan to follow the basic rules for that said pet. To each their own. Obviously, while outside, the dog should be leashed unless we are in a fenced and safe environment. I follow feeding, sleep, play, and exercise schedules as directed.
