About: With years of experience caring for pets, from running a dog-walking business to helping kittens be born, I provide expert, compassionate care tailored to each animal's unique needs and personality.☺️ Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I’m already caring for my own dog and cat daily. Balancing my part-time job, I ensure all pets get dedicated, quality attention. I provide personalized pet care, whether in your home or mine. With my own pets, I’m experienced in creating a nurturing environment, ensuring animals feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for daily.
About: I am from Colombia and there I had the opportunity to work with him, in a family veterinarian where I learned a lot. Here in the United States I have been taking care of dogs and cats at home several times. It is important, since animals are part of my life and always will be, I also dream of one day having the money to be able to give a good life to several animals that currently live in a shelter. I keep them company, I sing to them, I play with them, I walk them, when they sleep in my house I always make them comfortable and I am aware of all their behavior, especially because I know they miss their owners.
About: Hi there! I’m Z, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and have a wonderful cat of my own. I also have years of experience caring for the pets of both my family and friends. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. As someone who works part-time during the day, I have the flexibility to provide pet care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule allows me to plan drop-in visits, walks, or playtime around your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a natural part of my routine since I already care for my own cat. Whether it’s an early-morning visit before work or evening cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to ensure your pet feels loved and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I stick to their established routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or walks, to keep things consistent and comforting for them. For dogs, that might mean exciting walks or outdoor play, while cats might prefer quiet companionship or engaging with their favorite toys. I make sure their environment stays clean and safe, and I’m happy to administer medications or meet any special needs. Along with meeting their physical needs, I give plenty of cuddles and attention to help them feel secure and loved. I treat every pet like part of my own family, ensuring they’re well cared for until their owner returns.

About: I have cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family for years. I enjoy caring for them and giving them the attention they deserve. I currently work remotely for work one day a week. My schedule is somewhat flexible and can work closely with the schedule your pet maintains at their home. Though I work full time, I am allowed breaks and conduct visits or walks before or after work, and also during my lunch break. Weekends my availability is open and I can accommodate more easily. I have a back patio but the door does not close. I live beside the greenway trail and live a couple of feet away from the dog park if your furry pups would like some play mates. I am very open to instruction, and will treat them like my own within your household.
“Allie provided house sitting for my 2 dogs and 2 cats, last minute due to some unforeseen circumstances. For a period of about 3 days, she kept us well informed on any problems that my pets were having, along with offering solutions. One of the most communicative, helpful, and professional sitters that I’ve had. She also provided pictures for every visit and every pet. Our pets appear to all enjoy their time and trust her, to include our shy cat. Highly recommended!”
“Beth was amazing with our puppy Beanie! Beanie is is about 8months old, high energy, and still very much in her mischief era! Beth was wonderful with her and very understanding! She provided excellent care and communicated frequently, which we really appreciate! I will definitely be calling her again!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended!!!”
“Terran was great! She was communicative and and both my pups enjoyed spending time with her 😊”
About: I have had dogs, cats, reptiles and small animals since I was a young child. As an adult I have my 4 dogs and I spend a lot of my spare time with them either doing sports and shows or just hanging out and playing around the house and yard! My veterinarian has commented on how meticulously I take care of my pets, and I would be more than happy to provide references upon request! I work part time for a remote company, so I can work anywhere with wifi. I really enjoy being able to spend my days surrounded by my own dogs and our fosters while they're with us! I am able to take breaks during my 6 hour work day to take the dogs out of have a quick game of fetch or cuddle! I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs really enjoy. Because we occasionally have foster dogs in our home our dogs are very friendly and we always have extra crates and beds if necessary. I am open to check ins, pet sitting in my home or yours and scheduled dog walks! I am also able to do backyard poop clean up and more!
About: I've loved all animals since I was a very little kid. I was an only child for 10 years in a small country town with no neighbors for miles and I spent my play time and with animals (of all kinds). That early interaction has built a lifetime of love and respect for animals and recognizing their love for humans as well.; providing me the meaning of commitment and responsibility at an early age. I've never met a dog or cat I didn't like or bonded with. I have had pets all my life and some for extended life experiences. I believe in life-long commitment. Coming home to an excited tail wagging and happy face, along with a backup "meow" and leg rub make the end of a long day much more bearable. The companionship that a pet provides is a treasure and one to be remembered for a lifetime. I have one dog of my own (25 lbs) that loves the "sleepovers" that others pet bring to our home. He is very good with new acquaintances and shares his home openly. I also have a cat (20 yrs old) that has lived with other cats and dogs her entire life. She if very, very tolerable of visitors to our home. I have a large yard, however it is not fenced in , but is well off the highway. I also have a large covered holding pen. I live on a farm with neighboring horses, dogs, chickens, and goats. We will access to large plots of open green fields for walks and running that are very far off the highway that we do our long walks in. If your pet loves to ride - we love to ride on the golf cart and venture through the trails in the woods and fields for sightseeing. I have administered medicine via pill, liquid, drops. I am comfortable with all.
About: I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat. Gracie (15), Ellie (9), and Tucker (2). My cat’s name is Max (14). My oldest dog, Gracie, had her eye removed before she turned a year old due to cancer. A couple of years ago, she lost full sight in her only eye. I have been her caretaker ever since. I have had years of experience with her being partially blind, and now completely blind. My dog Tucker is a lab mix, and I have fully trained him. I love big dogs and do well with them. Gracie and Ellie are both small dogs. Max is an inside and outside cat, he does anything he pleases. I am currently fully online for college, so I am very flexible. I can do schoolwork at your house while cuddling with your dogs or cat. I will take your pets for walks, give them baths, feed, cuddle, play, give medicine when needed, and overall love them just as much as you do.
