About: I've taken care of dogs since a very young age and I've helped puppies find homes. I am very loving towards all animals. Your dog will always love to come see me. Me and my wife both have experiences with doggies. I work part time, weekends are open for me. Afternoons are usually the best for walks and check-ins. Just let me know your schedule and I can work around it. I will listen to how you want your puppy treated and fed, you provide food and toys I will supply water. I am active so walking or running is perfectly fine.

About: I have owned and cared for many pets over the years, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and birds - I can care for just about anything! My hours vary on the week as I am a full-time veterinary assistant, but my availability will ALWAYS be up to date with as much information as possible. I am typically fully available at least twice a week, and available after/before work other days. I am more than comfortable on walks, jogs, and doing backyard playtime. Additionally I am comfortable giving all forms of medication and I am a certified Cat Friendly Veterinary Professional.

About: I grew up always having/taking care of dogs. I also pet sit regularly now. I love animals and would love to have this as something to do outside of work! I also have two kitties named Blue and Harley, so have a lot of experience with cheeky cats, too. I currently work from home, so all I need is my hotspot and laptop. I can house sit for you basically for any length of time and any day/time. I have reliable transportation. I try to leave the home as good as or better than I found it. I truly do love caring for animals.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.

About: I am able to pay attention to detail and help identify what an animal tends to need as far as play time, food, sit and petting time. I am able and willing to help an animal navigate their needs and wants because it helps me to give them the care they deserve. I am a college student! I work part time and I have availability throughout the day that allows me to be able to dedicate time to help take care of animals. The biggest concerns for me when it comes to pets is ensuring that there’s consistency and a safe environment to help create a healthy home.
