“Five Stars for Jen M.! After a long awaited family vacation, Jen M. made a loving trip possible with total peace of mind in terms of her pet care, loving-kindness, daily drop ins, walks, and feedings ~ and conscious attention to my beautiful pit bull's physical and emotional needs while we were away. She is a beautiful person who is aware of the deep needs of each family pet, feeding schedules, attention to detail, and suggestions for better relationship improvement for all involved. Jen came each day and took excellent care of my pet, my home, and everyone involved in my household. She noticed things and worked to improve my dog's every day life and experience while I was away, and made suggestions for a better quality of life for him and for us as an expert in her field. Jen M.'s skills will fit perfectly for people who work full time, travel occasionally, need in home pet care, or home-sitting with animals. She is a loving steward of her work ~ and it shows in her caring approach to each moment with your pet. She is compassionate, responsible, trustworthy, and full of awareness that will bond your pet to her and make your pet feel safe and secure until your return. Jen M. has my highest recommendation for pet sitting and pet awareness. She has a great deal of experience to share with each dog or cat (and their pet parents), and she brings her lifelong skills with rescues and other more challenging situations to each pet sitting set of circumstances. Jen M. is also a wonderful human being your pet and your family will grow to love. Thank you Jen for a wonderful experience for my dog Hygge and for us all while we were on vacation. I am grateful for your professionalism and your presence in our lives.”
“We simply could not have asked for better and we are so thrilled and relieved that we have found such great care for our 2 cats and one dog. We have a stretch booked with Paula for September and it gives us such peace of mind to know they will be so well cared for. Thank you Paula!”
“My dog immediately bonded to Rose as soon as she walked into the house. She has an incredible way with dogs, and a deep knowledge of their behavior and needs. She is a true dog lover! I feel grateful that we found her, as it is such a relief to know there is someone who can take great care of our canine family member when we cannot be around.”
About: I have been raised in a home with pets and have never lived without them. I've had many different types of companions from tarantulas to rabbits to big lovable doggies. I currently have a puppy, Halo, a cat, Jake, and little Richie, my Betta. Wether it's play time with toys, nice walks around the neighborhood, hikes or cuddles, giving your friend what they need most is my top priority. If your dog is child friendly my 12 year old son could also come on occasion for extra play time. Sure makes monkey in the middle easier :) I am now available to help on weekends. I hope you will consider me to help you and your loved ones out. I hope your day is stress free and filled with cuddles.
About: I’ve taken care of young puppies, energetic dogs and senior pets as well. We are an outdoorsie family and like to go for long walk and hikes with our dog. High energy pet is a no problem! Our current dog is a senior, so we have a nice accommodating environment for her and other senior pups. I’m staying home currently with a baby. I decided to start providing pet care for extra income and for interacting with other animals, as we are not a able to get more animals at this time. I have a large house with a one acre yard and an and an overhead trolley cable. There are multiple rooms where the dogs can rest and a large crate where the doggies can be if they feel safe there.
About: I have had cats all of my life and dogs for at least the latter half of it. I can care for sick and elderly dogs and cats and can administer medications, even by subcutaneous injections. I am a mature man, available on a regular basis. My Golden Retriever and I look forward to sharing our time with your beloved pets. I do not have a fenced yard, and I do own a Golden Retriever. So, I do have limitations and restrictions when it comes to boarding. Regardless of whether I care for your pet in your home or in mine, they will receive gentle, loving treatment from an experienced pet daddy.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, a dedicated dog momma for 9 years and cat momma for 1. I’d love to take your pup on a nature hike with my dogs during the day - please reach out for a meet and greet so we can do introductions :) I have a very flexible schedule these days. I am in school and work part time from home. With enough notice I can usually plan around most daytime requests. I am not currently offering boarding. I will consult with you on your pets daily habits and needs and make sure to keep things consistent.
“We felt so comfortable leaving our sweet kitties (one who needs daily medication) with James. Great communication and would highly recommend.”
About: I tailor each experience to the individual needs of every pet. I specialize in caring for large breeds (pit bulls, working dogs, etc.) and can provide specialized senior care. Feeding, medication administration, walking, and bathing are tasks I am very experienced in. Transportation to and from vet or grooming visits are services I can gladly provide. Creating a safe and enriching experience for your pet is my top priority! I am available to house-sit and spend more time with your pets on the weekends. Please provide a 1-week notice to schedule my services to ensure reliability and consistency for your pets. I provide in-home pet care by following a personalized care plan tailored to each client's specific needs. This typically includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I also ensure a safe and clean environment, administer medications if necessary, and offer companionship and affection to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Communication with clients about their pet's well-being is a top priority, with regular updates and photos to give peace of mind.
“We are grateful Akash was able to take care of our 12 year old German Shepherd, India, in our home. It's the second time we have used his services and we are satisfied! I love that he sends pictures--makes me happy to see her happy. Thanks, Akash!”
About: I’ve done lots of pet sitting gigs in between jobs and seasonal work. I have nannied for two families for longer stints (1 year +) both of which have had dogs and cats, who I was responsible for in addition to childcare. I am a full-time farmer and animal lover looking for some extra income :) My farming job has long hours during the week so weekends are my preferred scheduling times, but I have a car and am happy to commute! I love getting to know pets based on their personality. Because I work so closely with nature and wildlife on a daily basis, I am very in tune with the human to animal connection. Kindness, empathy, and understanding are crucial. Even though pets don’t speak our physically language, they can read our bodies and energy so this is the most important part of creating a great relationship with them.

About: I have dedicated my life to helping animals. I have worked in the veterinary medical and animal welfare field for 10 years, with even more years of providing care to all types of animals.

Species I have experience with: Cats Dogs Guinea pigs Rabbits Fish Ferrets Rats Chinchillas Mice Hamsters Goats Ponies/horses Bearded dragons Snakes Turtles Leopard geckos I work full time but live in a location which makes it feasible to provide once or twice daily visits. Once daily visits is my specialty! I currently do not offer in home services or care/pet sitting in my home because I have 10 pets of my own! I treat your fur baby as my very own when I am taking care of them. I fully understand and recognize how hard it is to leave your pets alone for any period of time.

I’ve taken care of up to three dogs at once, and I am up for any challenge! I am flexible to your pets needs (medications, special diets, etc.) and will treat your pet as if they were my own. I am currently an unemployed student. My early mornings and early afternoons are almost always free as well as late evenings. I am unavailable at the following times due to my class schedule: Monday (2:00-6:00), Tuesday (9:30-12:15, 2:00-3:15), Wednesday (2:00-4:50), Thursday (2:00-3:15), and Friday (9:30-12:15, 2:00-3:15). However, I am ready to work with you to establish a schedule that work for both of us! I only do care at client’s homes because of my two cats at home who generally do not like other animals.

“Kimberly was so sweet and attentive to my old super senior kitty who’s been having health issues. She has a sweet momma like energy and was able to successfully give him his meds which he can be difficult about taking. I felt so safe knowing he was under her thoughtful care. Thank you so much for watching over Luke while i was away!”
“Have had nothing but great experiences with Morgan over the past year. She goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my cat. She is incredibly trustworthy and knowledgeable. I know that when I go on vacation my cat is in great hands!”
About: I've taken care of my family's 3 dogs since I was 12 years old. Feeding, vet visits, and regular walking 3x a day. I often participated in my friends Dog sitting and grooming business and loved her clients. I feel confident recognizing the signs of a happy dog, sick pup, or one who needs a bit of space before they trust :) I currently have very flexible work. I can in some instances bring my work to the home I sit for or make use of my break times to travel and attend to a pet. Easy arrangements can be made with my work to keep up everypawdy’s schedule. Each family trains their pet differently - I'm more than happy to adapt to your style of communication and play with your pet. Your dog will need some moments to sniff and get to know me but after that, play times with specific toys, specific commands, crate and rest times can all be implemented to your liking. I prefer to keep dogs within range of sight and ear, for their personal safety and engagement.
About: I've had pets my whole life, starting with 2 dogs and 2 cats growing up. I've been working at a veterinarian for almost 2 years. I hold them during appointments - give them my full attention and make them feel safe and loved. I work with up to 100 pets a week, mostly dogs and cats, and occasionally rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. Overall, I have love for all living creatures and give them the love, affection, and full attention they deserve. Working at a vet, I am very in-tune with each animal's energy. My biggest strength is making each pets feel safe and secure, during vet appointments where they're often already stressed. With a dog, cat, rabbit, and guinea pig, I shower them with affection and provide them with clean environments, love and attention, and space to play and have fun. Pets are family and they deserve to be showered with love. My guinea pig and rabbit each have their own large cages, as well as large play pens to exercise and explore. My cat is mostly indoor and surrounded by scratching posts and toys. My German Shepard requires a lot of attention, love, and exercise. We go in walks of 30 minutes 2x each day. Each and every dog and cat is different and I spend special attention to get to know each pet and what they need.
