“Excellent care for my fur babies. Highly recommend.”

LAURA R.

About: I'm educated and trained on how to work with Greyhounds. At an East Coast Rescue group, I learned to feel comfortable around their temperament and their body language. I'm the wife of a retired Army veteran. I also make coats, collars, and leashes for Greyhounds. Rescues melt my heart, especially Pit Bulls and Bulldogs. They're getting extra hugs and care from me. I am going to school online so I am very flexible in my schedule. Potty walks or just letting them out in the afternoon to run around. If I am at someone's house pet sitting I would keep the respect and keep the area of where the dogs clean.. If there was a mess I would clean it up. I would respect your policy and wishes at your house.

About: I have had cats and dogs almost all my life. There were 4 or 5 years where I did not have a pet and I missed it. I now have 4 cats who are all rescues. All under the age of 3.5 yrs old. I have often been asked by friends and family to watch their pets while they were away. I also spent a year at a dog boarding facility. My duties included the basics like feeding and walking dogs and even some light grooming, and there were even some overnight stays. There were times there might be 40 dogs to help care for. All sizes, breeds and ages. I work full time Monday to Friday so I will mostly be available on weekends. I could fit in Friday evenings as well. At least for now. I may add to that later on. For my cats, they are strictly indoor. When my son visits, I have a fenced in yard for his dog to run freely in. Our cats have their own water fountain and a dry food dispenser. They get wet food twice a day. They visit the vet as needed. Otherwise we just try to make sure they have a safe environment to thrive in. As for a client's pet, I will follow all instructions per the pet owner. Let me know if there are things I should be aware of while I care for your pet.

“Kelsey is AMAZING!! I was in a bind and needed my dog walked for his morning constitutional. Kelsey was available and was at my house within 20 minutes. Baxter (and I) just loved her. She so sweet and I will definitely book her in the future! Baxter kept running window to window looking for her when she left. She made a friend for life with him! Kelsey, I can’t say thank you enough for your help today!!”

“I was in a pinch and Lori helped me out tremendously. Highly recommend her. She sent me pictures of my pups and communicated highlights of her visit. I appreciate her willingness change her schedule on short notice!”

Adam C.

About: I adore animals and their personalities. I have animals of my own! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. 2 of my dogs are babies 3 months and 4 months old, 1 3 week old kitten and 1 older senior dog. I’m up every morning walking feeding changing puppy pads as I’m in the process of potty training 2 puppies also in the process of litter box training my kitten. I try to stay on a routine especially for the animals, if that involves feeding medication exercise. My animals stay on a schedule every morning and every night that’s how I’ve kept my 18 year old dog alive so long

About: I have owned/cared for cats for as long as I can remember. I am currently an owner of 3 cats and 1 dog and have tons of experience caring for cats/dogs of family and friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the attention/affection they need. I have experience with exercising, feeding, giving medication, and administering first aid to pets. I am a stay-at-home husband (and soon to be father) so my schedule is extremely flexible and I have reliable transportation. I’m available weekends and weekdays including evenings. My own pup is high energy/high anxiety (but he absolutely loves other dogs!) so I can understand that every pet has individualized needs. I am happy to work with any owner on a case by case basis to determine what works best for their pet. I can do home visits or could potentially house pets at my residence. We have a large backyard sitting on about 8 acres of land. Dogs love it here!

“Came on time and my dog is happy. Sometimes when we leave her she gets nervous if there isn’t enough human interaction, but this is the second time using Chase and both times we’ve come home and she is a happy dog!”

Kathy T.

About: I've taken care of and owned a few dogs and cats of all different breeds from pit bulls to Siamese cats. I've also had multiple reptiles over the years as well as small animals such as rats, hamsters and Guinea pigs so I'm ok with all sorts of animals! I currently am free full time to care for your fur babies, day or night, I'll be there! All my work is from work or me going where I got to go. I clean out the necessary litter boxes, food and water bowls and refill everything up. I clean the areas where all of that is that and then i play with the babies for the remaining time.

“My fur babies love going on walks with Taryn and I enjoy receiving their reports and pictures from their walk excursions. She is very friendly and punctual and I am grateful to have found her since I am currently recovering from surgery so unable to give them their daily walks. I would recommend Taryn for any future service for your fur babies 🐶. Thank you”

“I am so happy to have found Melanie. She is a true dog lover and took amazing care of my dogs. She is a wonderful, warm-hearted , extra special person that gave my pets so much love and special attention! She always kept me informed of their activities! I definitely recommend her!”

Barbara M.

“Brenda was amazing with our pups! She jogged with our younger one, which can be a challenge but she was clearly up to it! Our older girl, she tried to walk her but she's not usually up for leaving the driveway when her routine is disrupted ?. Brenda is a great communicator, very punctual and clearly loves her job. Will 100% use Brenda next time we need a hand.”

About: I will provide daily care for pets, including feeding, walking, and grooming. I can administer medications as needed, ensuring the health and well-being of pets. I will maintain a clean and safe environment for pets. I will ensure that I communicate regularly with pet owners, providing updates and addressing concerns. I am a stay at home Mom of 5 children of all ahe’s and 4 pets. We have a pug, pomsky, bunny, and bearded dragon. I am very organized and would love to care for your pets. I will make sure your pets are safe at all times. Their safety and care would be my top priority while I am in your home. I will treat your home with respect and ensure that it is left the way I found it.

About: I have years of experience with a barnyard's worth of animals: dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and more! Hard-working and communicative. I'm willing to do what it takes to make sure you and your fuzzy friend are happy and cared for. I'm looking to establish a part-time business petsitting. Right now I'm available most weeknights for over-night stays. My schedule varies more during the day, but as long as your pet is okay with potentially 4-8 hours on their own, I'm happy to stay at your home or do drop-in visits, as needed. I can work with your pet's personal routines as needed: including, but not limited to, feeding and watering, walks, playtime in the yard, snuggles, and medicine administration. For any misbehavior, I prefer firm and clear verbal correction, redirection, and positive reenforcement rather than physical punishment. I have a year's worth of work experience in a childcare center with a trust-worthy work history, fingerprinting, and background check.

About: I have worked at various doggy daycares over the past 5 years, where I monitored and handled up to 150 dogs at once. I bathed dogs, trimmed their nails, fed them, cared for injuries and sicknesses, walked them, played with them, trained them, and medicated them every day, and have firsthand experience breaking up fights. I have over a year’s worth of management experience, which meant making decisions catered to each dogs’ needs everyday. I have a wide range of knowledge on dogs and dog breeds. I have pet sitting experience, which includes cats, and I have also worked at an aquarium and with non releasable birds of prey. I have a wide range of experience, from exotics, birds, reptiles, rodents, and even to marsupials. I spent 4 years studying ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, so I have a general biology background as well. I am doing school online, so I have plenty of time to fill with furry, scaly, and feathery friends! I am used to early mornings and the time that goes into animal care. I have a fenced yard at home for my two dogs to run around and play in. I love enrichment, training, cuddling, foraging tasks, smelling games, fetch, etc. for all dogs and animals. All animals deserve an enriching environment full of a lot of variety, play, and healthy challenges. They deserve adventures, love, and genuine, heartfelt connection and care with other animals and with their humans. I will let those principles reflect in my work for your furry friend!

About: Starting off with fostering animals when I was 18, I have helped care for all types of pets, of all ages and all needs. My first pet based job was at a Banfield Pet Hospital, which I worked at for 8 years before transferring to a VCA closer to my home. I was in the Penn Foster Veterinary Technician program and was the Lead Surgical Assistant at VCA, with additional tasks such as training new hires, injections, suture removal, medicated baths, etc. I started my own business called Snoot Boop Pet Care LLC in August 2024. From snakes and tarantulas, to rabbits and birds, I care for them all! At the moment I am a stay at home mom of one beautiful toddler girl. My husband is also work-from-home, which is what allows me to take on jobs like these! Due to the amount of fur-babies I have, I do not board at my home. I can do drop in visits of up to 1 hour at a time, walks, litter/diaper changes, medication administration, check the mail, and even water your plants. For day care, I would need to be at your home so your pet is as comfortable as possible. We would play, have plenty of potty breaks (dogs) feed and/or medicate as required. If the pet requires medicated baths, that is also something I can do for you.

About: My Boxer, Bailey, loves having friends over to play. Pet owner my entire life. I try to anticipate pet's needs and keep them busy and happy. Your pet/pets will be a part of our family for a few days. My teenaged son will assist with your pet's care. I have crates in the guest area if your pet needs quiet time. Our dog will remain outside if needed for the care of your pet. I have cared for hamsters and fish as well as dogs and cats. My family is allergic to cats, but I can check in on your cat in your home. I can walk your pet individually after they play with my dog. I can administer medications and have a separate sleeping area for your pets with or without a crate. My family and I are available to be with your pet in our home setting. Your pets will have a separate room with or without a crate during any short errands that I may need to run. My teenaged son will assist with the care of your pet/pets. Your pets will have individual attention during part of the day with walks on my quiet neighborhood circle. Feeding time will be individual as well. They will enjoy play with my dog during supervised play time in my fenced back yard.

About: I can do the basic grooming like bathing and nail cutting. I have 2 dogs of my own who are well taken care of as your dog would be. I treat my dogs like family and i will do the same for your dog. Puppys will be taken out every hr adult dogs will be taken out every 2hrs unless told different by owners. All dogs will be walked for at least 1hr each. There is no better way to put it other than your animals will be taken care of like family. They deserve no less than to be loved, spoiled, and taken care of. If there were to ever come a day where we needed them to take care of us they would do the same.

About: I have two pets of my own, one is 10 years old the other is 6. I have been responsible for their daily care and can help train them do basic tricks like sit or shake.I am so excited to meet your pets and help you with their care. I am a nursing student at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. I am off for the summer, so I have open availability to care for your pets ! My dogs are a major part of my family. I treat them like kids… These pets are welcome to share the bed with me. I also give them baths regularly to keep everything fresh. When I am caring for your baby I will be sure to send pictures to updates throughout our time together.

About: We are a family of 4 (counting our dog Pepper). I work from home so your dog won’t be alone. I grew up always having a pet to take care of; cats, hamsters and many dogs of different breeds. We have a 14 yr old mini schnauzer that is a little sassy but always friendly with dogs, cats and humans. Dogs are part of our family, they will be allowed in couch to snuggle with us while watching tv and we’ll also spend time outside. We have a fenced yard and we live across a park, I will take your dog for a walk at least twice a day. Your dog will feel loved and safe in our home while you are gone. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are very flexible with our time. I work from home so Pepper and I will have an extra friend to keep us company during the day. We go outside several times during the day. I have a fenced backyard and doggie door. Pepper sleeps in our room in her own bed, sometimes she likes to take naps in our recliner. Your puppy is welcome to do the same.
