About: I take care of my brothers dogs and friends dogs while they’re out of town. I also have a cat and a Doberman that want love and attention constantly. I love all animals and I haven’t met one that doesn’t love me! I recently started my own business and I’m still building my clientele, so I have random days/times of the day that I’m free to spend walking dogs! I love animals and exercise Looking forward to walking pets and dropping by for check ins if you need me to! I love dogs and cats and have tons of experience with both

About: I can't remember a time that I've ever not had a dog. I can bathe your dogs if you like and do some mild grooming such as nail trims and teeth brushing if you like! I volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years and was lead of their recruitment team for new volunteers. I have some medical experience as well! I work part time as a surgical technologist. I just graduated from college with my second degree and want to eventually do something that has me spending all my time with animals. I volunteer when I can and I also foster puppies! I will ensure that your pet is well taken care of. If there is ever a time that our pets will be left alone, I will have a plan for separation. And they will never be alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and will send you constant pictures of your babies. I also have two dogs of my own. They are 4 and 5! I also have cats living in the home. I do have a crate available if you would like your animal to be crated at any point. I'm happy to give meds if your baby if needed as well!

“Shari is so sweet! She was great with my two big dogs. Of course most people get scared when big dogs are barking at them, but she was comfortable to just let them do their barking and growling circling her until they realized she was friendly. Very gentle and genuine with my dogs. She left a note thanking me for letting her walk my furbabies and told me how they did. Generous touch. I'm definitely going to book with her again!!”

About: I've worked with dogs, cats, and other animals since middle school. I've done short- and long-term sitting for dogs varying from a weekend with a mixed breed rescue to a month with a purebred Australian shepherd. I owned an elderly Maltese for three years, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently I do have a limit of dogs of maximum 35 pounds. I am prepared and willing to work with training routines. I studied cats extensively in seventh grade in my attempt to persuade my parents into owning one. (It worked.) As either a cat owner or sitter, I've been working with cats ever since. I have a beautiful little black and white princess named Jane, with an affinity for burrowing in blankets and stealing pens, and a wild child named Lizzie who has never met a stranger. I offer dog and cat walks, animal feeding, water changes, litter box changes, playtime, and brushing. I'm open to pets outside the usual; anything except spiders. My availability is very flexible right now. Send me a message to get a request started! Currently I do gig work and have a very open and flexible schedule. Most Sundays I spend out of town, but feel free to message to discuss custom scheduling. Safety and care in a pet's home is reliant first and foremost on learning the family's routines and location of important items. Every family in every home has a system and routines in place; following those is the smoothest way to keep the animals happy and safe. In my home, I care for two young adult cats I own, as well as foster kittens. Right now, I have a group of four kittens to care for until they reach their goal weight for their spay/neuter surgeries. I do practice robust hygiene routines to ensure no potential illness is transmitted between the fosters and my cats.

“Lisa was really good with Jaxon, he is shy around strangers. It took him about 10 minutes and he was all over her. She was a breath of fresh air and very patient. Love her!”

Deborah H.

“Ruthie loves Stephanie more than she loves me I think. She is so good with her and Ruthie loves her walks. ❤️”

“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”

“Fantastic work”

About: Hi, I'm Rheagan! As a lifelong animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, caring for pets is second nature to me. I've had the joy of living with and looking after a variety of animals over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in building trust through patience, kindness, and respect-just like I do with my own fur family. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I currently have an open schedule and can take care of your pet anytime! I’m available for sittings, walks, and drop-ins Monday - Friday 7am - 10pm. Saturday and Sunday 7am - 11pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and follow routines that keep tails wagging and paws relaxed. With lots of love, attention, and respect for your pet’s needs, I treat every animal like my own.

About: Let me care for your loved ones while you are away, so you can rest at ease and enjoy your adventure with your family and friends. I love being on the move and having a variety of tasks. I love helping to build a strong community as well in this area. Pets are important family members, and I believe owners should know they are valued as such when they are away. I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I have taken teams on international mission trips. I have travelled to many countries and lived in many different places. I am a responsible adult ready to help you and your family by providing you pet sitting/walking services.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, I know how important it is to treat our animals like family! I go for walks every day and would love to take your dog with me! I exercise every day and try to get outside for walks at least once a day, taking a dog in need of some fresh air with me would be a win win for both of us! I have a secure privacy fence around my back yard and I work from home so your pet will never be left here alone. I treat my animals like family, and there are 2 days a week when it’s only me and my cat because my dog stays with family.

About: Hello! I love dogs and everything about them. I have a dog of my own who I recently trained to file his front nails! I enjoy playing in my backyard with him and recently have taken to making home made dog food and treats. I think it is fun to treat my dog like a family member. I am interested in learning about different breeds. I know how hard it is to find reliable and caring people who will treat your dog with the kindness s/he deserves. I would like to help reduce that stress and offer my services to those who are in need of quality dog care. I have experience with chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs as well. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop ins at most hours, including early morning and late nights. I am central in the city and am close to most areas. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is crate trained. I walk my dog daily and give him the best foods and preventative meds.

About: I am here to treat your fur babies as if they’re my own! I have two kitties, Titten and Max, so rest assured that I will give your fur babies the same kind of love and care I give them. That means your fur babies will receive tons of love and many pets! I’ve taken care of numerous dogs and cats from various walks of life. For example, I started taking care of a rescue dog who was incredibly skittish and afraid when we first met. It took a few visits, but he warmed up to me and now lets me pet him! I will always follow your instructions meticulously, and I’ll be sure to ask questions if I don’t understand something fully. My ultimate desire is to love your fur babies well, and help you maintain their routine while you’re away. Thank you for trusting me with your animal(s)! I am currently pet/house sitting part time, as I do work retail (roughly 20 hour a week). My shifts are never longer than 5.5 hours, though. I still have ample time to spend with your animals. They’ll absolutely have lots of time to play and receive pets! I will follow your instructions to the best of my ability to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for! Same goes for your home!
