About: I have 25 years experience taking care of dogs. From in home care to animal shelters & with all type, temperament, and size of dog! I own my own company and am a contractor for a auto company. I am kind of a Jack of all trades type of person. I will follow all instructions and requests to provide the absolute best care for your furry four legged family members! I look forward to meeting your pup!!
“Michael's been such an asset to our family. I have to travel for work sometimes, and can be away for months at a time. Knowing Michael will be there to walk our girl gives me such peace of mind. And getting photos from their walks really makes my day when I am feeling homesick. Thank you, Michael!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with dogs. I worked at a wonderful dog shelter called KC Paws that taught me about dog handling, body language, and temperament. I was a shift lead so I have experience administering medications - liquid and pills. I am also a foster for T.A.R.A, another wonderful shelter, so I have TONS of experience with puppies as young as 5 weeks old. While I have not worked in a professional setting with cats, I have 3 of my own and I have fostered two sweet cats. I’m finishing up school with one class left so at the moment, Rover is my full time job! I’m available unless otherwise stated on my schedule for whatever care your pet needs - day and night. Feel free to send me a message about scheduling questions to see if we can work something out! :) I only offer dog sitting in your home because I’ve got too many animals at my house and your dog or cat’s safety is my biggest priority. I am diligent when it comes to following instructions (with medications, food allergies, special needs) as well as with making sure your home is all locked up when I leave.
“She did a great job with my puppy and stayed in touch with me while I was out of town. She was sweet about schedule changes due to the heat. I will definitely use her again”
“Leah was so great and easy to work with! Her communication was great and she went above and beyond when she came to give Evie a walk. Evie is a fan and we hope to use her again soon.”
About: I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. While I do have fur babies of my own, I will not bring them around yours unless they have already been introduced. This is my full-time job so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! I will meet with you and your pet ahead of time to learn about your pet and what they need from me when I visit with them.
“Wendy was FABULOUS! She was very kind and responsive, and was happy to modify the schedule when our needs changed. I would absolutely work with her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family for more than 20 years. I have two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is disabled and requires a lot of care. I’m well trained to take care of any of your pets who require special care. I spent three years as a pet store manager and I can care for birds, reptiles, small animals, fish, dogs, and cats. I’m a high school teacher and so I’m up by 5am and off work by 3pm. I can come before school, in the middle of the day between 11:30 and 12:30 as well as any time after 4:00. I can easily care for your pet in your home. Keeping them in a familiar place and on their normal routine. This allows their familiar sights and sound while you are away.
“Georgia is super sweet and very communicative. My dog has a lot of triggers on walks and she listened and made accommodations to help Eeyore have a calmer walk. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with dogs and even having a cat along the way. I’ve been dog sitting for years and currently have a pup of my own, so I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I’m also a certified dog trainer, which means I’m experienced, attentive, and always focused on your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness! I am flexible with my hours and am available every day. I can work with your schedule as needed. Just let me know when you need help My focus is on keeping your pets routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well-loved by following your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away. With my background as a certified dog trainer, I’m also comfortable handling pets with special needs or unique behaviors.
“Ruth, (Ronnie) was absolutely fantastic. Ronnie has excellent communication, flexibility, understanding, and is very accommodating and caring. I look forward to our next booking!”
“Kathryn has been a tremendous help with taking care of my dog Topo while Im out of state. She is very sweet, caring, and has a genuine love for dogs. She is very good with specific instructions and will treat your dog as her own. She has proven herself time and time again and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. She is very responsive and will more than likely respond to any inquiry you have quickly. Thanks Kathryn!”
About: I’ve been around pets all my life. I’ve always been and always will be a big animal lover! From long cuddles, to rowdy playtime, and to stinky cleanup, I love being around animals! They’ve always made my life brighter and I couldn’t imagine anything better. I’m currently in collage but starting in May I’ll be able to have lots of availability! I’m looking forward to be walking, playing, and loving all of the furry friends who come my way! <3 I always love a list of rules! If you have any specific rules or suggestions/comments/etc you need me to know, I highly recommend sending me a detailed message(s).
“Can’t imagine having a better person to walk our dog, Guinness. Clearly loves dogs, conscientious, punctual and an easy going personality. Not to mention Guinness LOVED him immediately. We are very pleased and look forward to having him back.”
About: I’ve pet sit for my neighbors for several years, and even have a cat of my own! I raised and trained him for three years now, and he even knows tricks! I know a pet’s boundaries, so I will gladly keep them company, play with them, and give them pets! As of now, I’m an open book! Weekends, weekdays, you name it! This may change as my workflow changes, but I will still be fairly open. I am flexible to the preferences of the owner! Typically, I will spend some time in the morning and evening at the client’s home caring for and spending time with the animals. I will not be invasive at all when it comes to the actual house!
