About: I love all animals and have a special place in my heart for them all. I have been pet sitting and walking dogs for over 30 years. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I enjoy all kinds of walks, from strolls around the block to lengthy hikes in the woods. I can't wait to meet you and your pup(s)! I have flexibility that can be adjusted to fir your pets needs whether it be for walks, feeding, or extra play time. Whatever their needs, I got it covered I care for your pet as if they are my own. Routines and schedules are important so I follow your schedule and your routine that you have with your pet so they stay safe and always feel comfortable
“Alyssa was super kind, professional, and understanding. She took great car of James, even playing with him and texting me photos. She also cleaned out both litter boxes while I was gone. I will definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her.”
“Christine answered my last minute request right away. She visited with my dog, Payton , who was recently injured while we were gone. She sent pictures and communicated with me during her visit with Payton helping me to relax and be sure she was well taken care of.”
About: I've had pets my entire life and have always had a deep interest in how to better care for them. Animal health and body language is a passion of mine and I can ensure the health and safety of your pet in your absence because of it. I'm currently looking for work so at the moment I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets. Until I find a job I have almost nothing getting in the way. I can easily take care of feeding, playing, and cleaning up after your animals. I'm very conscious of animals dietary restrictions and any necessary schedules or special routines. I can also medicate your pet if necessary. I have experience both with elderly animals and very young.
“Kyle was great at stoping by to take care of our dogs! He took them both for walks and gave them lots of time to play. Our dogs also loved Kyle’s company and he was great with communicating with us and taking photos of the dogs for us.”
“Absolutely perfect! Communication was amazing, she recognized health symptoms and brought them to my attention, it made our time away from home so much more relaxing knowing the cats were being taken care of so well. We will for sure be repeat clients, thank you thank you thank you!”
“Elizabeth took excellent care of our cats while we were on vacation. They were even played with each day. We will be using this service again. It’s nice to remove the worry of how your pets will be cared for during the absence. Thank you!!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! I hired her to watch my dogs, she did a great job and the dogs loved her. We have some outside animals as well which normally dont need attending too. Little did I know one if our goats passed away while we were gone from old age, Elizabeth stayed by her side and took care of her until the end. I couldnt have asked for a more caring person for the job. So much better than a kennel!”

About: Hello, I’m Kelsey! I have always been a MAJOR dog lover. When I was really young, I used to wish for a pet puppy each year as I blew out my birthday candles. My wish came true in 2003, and since then I have owned three wonderful dogs. In 2010, I started walking and “dog-sat” for a variety of breeds- everything from chihuahuas, dachshunds, pit bulls, & boxers! In caring for dogs at home or on walks, I feel that it’s imperative to communicate their stressors and motivators so that we can work towards keeping them calm and happy. Two of my own dogs had lived to be scruffy seniors, so I am well versed in older dog care and providing them with routine medicine. I have recent experience in the past year with house training puppies and all of the extra care that they need during this life stage as well. I cannot wait to meet your fur baby and give them all of the attention and exercise that they crave!
About: I have extensive experience with animals from working at a local vet clinic, dog training facility, and horse farm. I also have a dog of my own that I’ve cared for for 12 years. I am currently in school to become a vet tech and am capable of caring for animals with basic medical needs. I am currently doing online schooling over the summer, but other than that my days are free to care for or walk your beloved pets. I will not be having pets at my own house, but I can follow explicit instructions, respect the clients home and privacy, and care for clients’ pets as if they were my own.
“Linden was amazing. She was super communicative and great with updates and photos. I felt like my fur baby was in great hands and that gave me peace of mind. I look forward to using her services again.”
About: I have attended puppy training courses. I also have extensive experience with fostering dogs and cats. I have been a pet owner of my own since 2009. I have had an animal in my life since I was born. I currently am a stay-at-home dog/cat mom. My schedule is very flexible! Perfect to fit in lovings for your special baby (babies)! My husband also works from home. Our country home provides ample acreage to explore leashed. Small fence available for the little ones who aren’t escape artists. Our animals are our babies. All of our animals are closely watched. We have two dogs (soon 3) and three cats. One cat has taken over our primary suite because she is sensitive and needed to be an only cat. She doesn’t mind dogs, but wanted her own space. So we transformed our primary suite into her castle. Our dogs go everywhere with us. One of our cats even travels with us occasionally. Our home is set 900 feet off the road surrounded by natural boundaries to keep your pet safe. Your pet will always be safe with me.
About: First off, I love animals. Just like every other pet-sitter out there! But you can choose me, because I am honest, dependable, and pretty flexible! I make sure my pets receive the best care I can offer. So knowing that I do that for my pets, you should know I wouldn't treat your fur-babies any different. :) I would like to note that I do have previous experience in the veterinary industry, so the more than basic needs such as insulin injections and pill administration is no problem for me! I hope that you feel more confident know in choosing me to assist with taking care of your precious pet after learning a little bit more about me! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a stay at home mom of an adventurous 2 year old. I also run my own laser engraving business. Between the two I’m a busy lady but always have time to care for animals. Let me help ease the stress of you being away at work all day and let me swing by to give your beloved pet a mid day break. Does your pet need a little extra care and assistance? No problem. I’m comfortable administering medications and helping animals up if they have trouble with stairs. While I do not provide animal care at my home anymore as I have two strong minded dogs of my own that value their space - I am comfortable with popping in at your place to care for your pet while your gone.
