About: I have experience working with small to xl dogs, young to old. I have been caring for pets for 6 years, 1 of which I was also working in boarding at an animal hospital and gained experience administering medication. I have spent a lot of time with socially anxious and separation anxiety dogs and learned a lot about patience with their needs. For the past year and a half, I worked at a dog board and train facility where I spent my time taking care of a variety of breeds and temperaments including aggression and resource guarding. I have the most experience with high energy breeds including German Shepard Dogs and Belgian Malignois. I am confident in my dog handling skills and behavioral challenges that come my way. I am a full time college student so most of my time is filled with classes. A few days a week I am done early so I will have time to care for your pet and love them just as you would. I do not provide in home care. In your home I would love to play with your fur baby and spend time with them while you’re away. I can tailor to your needs to make sure your pet has their needs met.

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

“Teresa comes to let Sully and Quinn out daily. I am sure they are so happy to see her and have some playtime in the afternoon. Love the daily reports and pictures! So Thankful to have her.”


“Janine is amazing! She was very attentive to our diabetic cat and showed him tons of love and affection! She administered daily insulin shots as required twice a day. Janine also sent us daily photos of her visits, which were appreciated. Our cat fell in love with her ♥️. We highly recommend Janine for your pet sitting needs. Thanks again Janine, you were awesome!”


“Our daughter stayed with Buster while we were away for the weekend. Felicia came to our house to administer insulin shots and eye drops for Buster. She received a great review from our daughter, saying that she was right on time, and was very sweet with him! It's a good feeling to know that he was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Felicia!”


“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”

About: I have been entrusted to care for the wonderful dogs, large and small, of family and friends over the last five years, and I would be honored to help you take care of your pal! I am a coach who works evenings, and I have time during the day to walk and help take care of your special four-legged friend while you are at work. I can provide services such as walking (around neighborhoods or to fun locations such as rail trails), or quick drop-bys to make sure your furry friend has a moment to go to the bathroom and stretch their legs (all four of them).
