About: I'm a lifelong animal lover currently pursuing my dream of becoming a veterinarian! Prior to vet school, I've worked in boarding facilities, small animal clinics, and even zoos, so I truly have experience with all kinds of animals. Skills include: positive reinforcement training, animal healthcare, exotic animal care. This summer, I am working part time with a rotating schedule. I will always have time in the mornings and evenings to take care of your pets, and may be able to provide all-day care or regular potty breaks depending on the week! I am happy to spend the night or just stop by for a visit, depending on what you and your pet need. I am currently not working in a clinic, so there's no need to worry about germs or contamination.

“TeAsia has done house sitting for us several times now, caring for our 14 year old dog and cat. She does great with our dog that has some mobility limitations. Is very responsive and makes sure to send us photos while we are away! Highly recommend if you are looking for a good sitter.”


“Savannah is great at communicating and took such good care of our multiple dogs. Really appreciated all her help and would definitely use her again!”


“Kristin was a fabulous animal sitter. She fed all three of our cats and both of our dogs which all of them have different food that they eat. She let him out before and after their breakfast and before and after their dinner, she stayed with them overnight, so they wouldn’t miss us . I would recommend Kristin for any of your pet sitting needs.”


About: I am a retired RVT aka animal nurse. I worked at MU for 6 years in their ICU/ECC department and their shelter medicine department. I also have grown up on a farm with many farm animals. So I can provide care for inside and outside animals. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 15 years old. I’ve ridden horses for most of life as well. I am well versed in medications and health issues. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I am available at anytime to provide love, support, and care to all your furry friends. If you have medications that need to be on a schedule just let me know! I will be happy to keep you informed during my stay to ease your worries. I can provide care based off of your needs and your animal needs. If you have a senior that needs extra support and medications, I know all about the worries related to that. I have many years of experience with working with all ages. I have taken fear training over the years. I work with a German Shepherd Rescue for many years. That has allowed me to learn about hyperactive dogs who need a lot of mental stimulation. I am willing to help give medications even if you are home and need help! Just let me know!


“Molly did great with my baby. She kept me informed every day with pictures or video. Bella was in good hands with her. I will be using her for my next trip.”


“Megan was great, the dogs were happy as can be when we returned and she sent us pictures of how they were doing.”


About: Growing up on a farm, we had almost every breed of dog there is. From St Bernards to Chihuahuas, I've cared for them all. Since then, I have taken care of many dogs, cats, and houses, and am always enjoy getting to take care of peoples furry loved ones! I work 5 minutes from home during the day, and myself and my husband are home in the evenings. I take my dogs outs 4-5 times a day, and usually put other dogs I watch on that same schedule, unless the owner requests otherwise. I have a safe, open basement for pets to enjoy while they stay with me. This gives them the chance to stretch their legs during the day, have access to food and water, and if an potty accident occurs, they are able to get away from that area. I also have house/pet sat for many years. I am diligent about cleaning up after pets, playing with them and giving them some company, and then making sure the house is locked and safe until I return again.

About: We have both had dogs for years and have a perfect set up to watch more. We can come to your house or they can come to ours! We both work fully remote! We have two dogs that live spoiled lives and we will be happy to spoil yours too! We're in auburn. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs. One is extremely friendly, the other takes a bit to warm up, but that never takes long.

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.

“Gabbi did an amazing job with my dog while I was out of town for a few days. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”


About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I frequently took care of neighbors or family friends animals while they were on trips. I have 1 cat and 1 dog. I work in the social services industry so patience is something I specialize in😂 My dog is deaf and had very little training when me and husband rescued him. Now, he is amazing and our daughter loves him. My daughter loves animals of all kinds so we would love to meet any fur babies we can😊 I work full time during the day, Monday through Friday. I frequently go home for lunch to care of my own animals and evenings I am home. I have an open yard with lots of space for running. I have a dog and cat that are good with other animals and children.

About: I specialize in medical animal care, and special needs clients. I know a lot of basic injury/ER care treatments and you can feel safe with your special needs babies in my care 💕 Starting at very young, before I could even say it correctly, I was always excited to tell people that I wanted to be a "vegetarian" (Veterinarian)! I started taking care of my aunts animals and her "zoo" when I was about 7 years old, 3 times a year. She knew others who needed animal care, feeding brushing walking, ect, and I began taking care of others' animals as well for years! Continued with this all throughout the time that I waitresses, but few years later got a job as a doggy day care attendant. Which put me into the position of a groomer a year later, and then even a dog trainer the next year. I now work at an after hours animal ER and as a Veterinarians assistant. I really do believe you can fully trust me with your animals, as I've been doing it for years. It makes me nervous putting my own animals in others care, but I would trust myself 10 times over! I am availabile Monday through Sunday and anytime, if any special accommodations needed, you can feel free to reach out and see what I can do for you and your family ❤️ In others home, I really focus on getting to know the animals, and letting them wind down outside. I try to read each animal, as they are all different and usually display very obvious body language.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, I have my own dog that I love and take care of. I enjoy pets a lot. I am currently not working right focusing on school, and I am available anytime to play or take care of your dogs for boarding anytime. I have a fenced in yard, a nice basement area where I will stay with your dog or cat, and I can keep your dog crated as well if need to be.

About: I go beyond basic sitting—I treat every dog like family. With experience in puppy training and gentle senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, administering medications, or providing extra patience and comfort for older pups, I make sure your dog feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I also keep pet parents in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you always know your furry friend is happy and in great hands. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime and cuddles. I prioritize consistency and routine because I know how important that is for animals to feel secure and comfortable. Whether I’m sitting full-time or stopping by for daily visits, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention, exercise, and affection. Taking care of pets isn’t just a task—it’s a meaningful part of my day that I truly enjoy. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, their comfort and happiness are my top priorities. In My Home: I offer a safe, clean, and cozy space where your dog can relax and feel like part of the family. I stick to their usual routines—walks, feeding, playtime, and even snuggles—so they feel right at home while you’re away. I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure everyone gets plenty of personal attention. In Your Home: Some pets do best in their own environment, and I totally get that! When I care for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable the entire time. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands!

“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all of my life but have been doing it more recently for about 1 and a half years now. I’m currently working part-time, and I can work anytime after 3:30 because I have to pick up siblings from school and bring them home around 3:15. I don’t have any dogs anymore, but I have an indoor cat that roams all around the house. I like to play and cuddle with dogs on the floor or couch.
