Jacob did a good job with our boys and they definitely didn't make it easy on him. I was impressed with his patience in dealing with our excitable puppies. I will definitely book him again. ?

Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!

About: I’ve taken care of and worked with a variety of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs and cats as well as farm animals. I raised horse, pigs, and goats for 4-H in my hometown. In high school, I volunteered at my local pet shelter, working with cats and dogs. I also began pet sitting in high school and loved the experiences I had getting to know clients and their amazing pets. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule. I am a university student living in Athens over the summer. I am willing to fulfill your and your pets’ needs any way I can. If you have any specific questions just ask! I am an active individual who loves walking and playing with dogs. I have reliable transportation and respond quickly to messages. I will work with you to provide the best care and attention for your pet.

Stefania was great. She watched Theo for a week. We live out in the country and it was when there was a really, really bad snowstorm and she was able to make it work. She even came back an extra time on the last day because I was running later than I thought I was going to.

Schuyler was great with our girl 🐶 She was trustworthy and met every request. We had a worry-free vacation because we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again.

About: I have been an avid animal lover and caretaker for all of my life. I am the friend everybody calls when they need someone they trust to ensure their pets are properly cared for. Animals are truly my passion and I cannot wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time and furthering my education so I have plenty of time in my week to help you with all of your pet care needs. Every pet owner has different expectations for the care of their furry friends. I am happy to work with you to decide on a gameplan that puts both you and your pets at ease.

About: Student Affairs professional for OHIO and love all furry animals. I had an amazing Norwegian Elkhound Mix and 2 cats. Now I have 9 month lab mix and 1 cat. Both very friendly and good with everyone. I'm very patient, optimistic, and kind. I have experience with pups & senior dogs. I'm comfortable administering medication, including injections and promise to love your pet unconditionally while they are in my care. Depending on the needs of your pets they'll enjoy at least one walk a day, potentially a hike, and get plenty of attention throughout their stay with me. Before rescuing my current dog, I trained two Great Pyrenees from 6 months to 3 years for a friend. I'm comfortable with all dogs and cats and hope I can help provide care for you soon! During the school year I work from home 2 days a weeks and in the summer 3 days! This gives me plenty of flexibility to check on your pets as needed. Additionally, I have the flexibility to check during my lunch break if needed when I'm in the office. I have a fenced in backyard and will gate off sections of our home until we know the dog is comfortable in our home and with our dog & cat. We block off the stairs to keep them on the ground floor with us.

About: Hi! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From high-energy puppies to slow-paced seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — each one with their own quirks and needs. Whether your pup needs daily walks, playtime in the yard, belly rubs, medication, or a consistent routine while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. I’m confident, calm, and attentive — and I always treat pets like they’re my own. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, an overnight stay, or a week of care, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home — even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets — whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Because I’m not tied to a full-time job, I’m able to adjust my availability based on each pet’s needs. I make sure to build my day around their routines, so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for — just like they would with you. Whether it’s one-on-one playtime, regular feeding schedules, or keeping up with medications, I take the time to make sure everything runs smoothly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and comforting. In your home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walk times to their favorite spots to nap. I keep everything clean, secure, and consistent, so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages. In my home: I offer a pet-safe, cozy space where your dog (or cat, depending on needs) will get one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean environment with plenty of play, rest, and cuddle time. If your pet has special needs or routines, I’m happy to accommodate them — from crate training to medication schedules. No matter where the care happens, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and full attention to their emotional and physical well-being.

About: Currently in Leadville. Ready to meet some new doggos. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015. I have a standard poodle who is great with other pets and loves to play. I have a fenced in backyard. We are very active and love getting outside and we are in the perfect area for that. I have two pretty awesome pups, both high energy poodles, so rain or shine we find a way to play outside. They go lots of places with me and I usually work around their schedule! 🐩 🐩 Make sure I know the ins and outs of the home and everyone is always comfortable. My dogs have their favorite spots and safe places and I know when I’m in clients homes to always be aware.

I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is very open .. I would come to your home. I do not have a fenced area for other pets. Our animals know their territory and stay safely here.

About: I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments, with a strong background in working with dogs ranging from small breeds to giant breeds such as Neapolitan Mastiffs and Great Danes. In my current household, I care for five dogs, including two dogs over 100 pounds, two medium sized dogs, and one small Chihuahua. I have raised three dogs from puppyhood, giving me hands on experience with puppy behavior, routine reinforcement, and the changing needs of dogs throughout their lives. I am equally comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and gentle handling as pets age. I also have experience administering medications when needed and carefully follow all care instructions provided by pet owners. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats and have been around animals my entire life. I also personally care for reptiles, including snakes and a crested gecko, and am familiar with specialized feeding and habitat routines. Whether providing in home pet care, house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking, I approach every service with reliability, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting your pets and hopefully becoming a trusted, regular caregiver for your family. I’m blessed to have a job where I can be flexible during the week, weekends, and holidays. Of course communication is always key 🔑 😃 I can care for pets in your home where they feel most comfortable and not stressed. Your house, your rules - my favorite would be to get to cuddle and play with them!
