About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and different personalities. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication reminders, walks, or just comfort while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part time so i can be with them early in the morning, mid-day, and at night! I love being able to make sure they feel safe all day! I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel safe and stress-free while their owner is away. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get lots of love and care.

Maddie took a last minute booking for me when I found out my husband was going to be home really late and I had just had surgery. She wore the dogs out and they came back so happy. Super appreciative of her being willing to do it on short notice and take such great care of the dogs.

About: Aside from taking care of my own dogs since I was little, I have been actively involved with animal rescue for many years and sat on the Board of Directors for Ruff Start Rescue for 5yrs Prior to starting our family. My husband and I have been fostering animals since 2010 ranging from dogs, cats, and a teacup pig. We welcome every furry friend into our home as if they were our own. We have also raised a young pup (Bruin) who love other animals. Our children are also growing up to be animals lovers themselves. Our home would provide someone who is home to keep your loved one company, a fenced in yard to run in back, and a comfy bed to sleep in. 🐾 I work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight boarding, and medication schedules. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime or simply a quiet place to relax, I can adjust to their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always take time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs before their stay. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised throughout the day. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate and can separate pets if they prefer their own space. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi, I’m Dana! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I’ve cared for paralyzed dogs, senior cats, and pets that require medication and extra patience, so I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are when it comes to your furry family members. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with love, attention, patience, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a quick drop-in visit while you’re away, or overnight companionship and care, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy the entire time. Pet care will be my full-time focus for the next 3–4 months before I head to college, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in great hands. I also have previous pet-sitting experience with repeat families who trusted me to care for their pets while they traveled, and I can provide references upon request. My previous experience as a pet sitter has provided me with references from past families who attest to my exceptional care and dedication in providing the best possible care for their animals during their absences.

About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.

About: I am experienced in senior pets, and reactive dogs. I can walk reactive dogs up to 30 pounds. I avoid busy times and know to look for triggers before the pup notices. I do not have a weight limit for non-reactive dogs. Additionally, I have experience with freshwater aquariums, parrots, hamsters, and mice! Play, cuddles (or space), and leashed walks will keep us quite busy! Expect a lot of photos. I do have a peanut allergy so I am not able to offer peanut based treats, and ask that they be put away beforehand. Thank you! I work full-time Thursday-Sunday so I have full availability to watch your pets on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday without distractions! Walks, drop-ins, and meet and greet availability would be anytime Monday-Wednesday or after 6pm on my work days. I will follow your instructions, set alarms for potty breaks and walks, and be available to send photo and text updates. During house sitting, I will let you know about my drop-in visit schedule. Your pet will never be alone without notice.
