About: I am a pet person who has always loved animals, especially dogs and have always had a very close connection with any dog I meet! I will also provide my own leashes, doggy bags, and treats! I am currently in cosmetology school and have Mondays and weekends off. I’d also be available Tuesday-Friday evenings after 4pm. I am also available on most weekends. I have two dogs at home and am comfortable with walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have what they need. I can administer medications as well.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have had dogs, cats, and all kinds of livestock. Observing animal behavior is key in knowing that an animal is happy and comfortable in their environment. I also have an animal science degree that has given me more insight to general health and diet. I work here on our farm. So my schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to your pets routine and care. Going for walks or getting outdoors is an easy activity living on an acreage. We have multiple dog beds and allow pets on the furniture. We also have crates available if your pet needs some quiet time or if that is something they are used to.

“She has taken great care of my dogs while I'm at work and they need to go outside. Sends pictures as I requested. I recommend her to anyone that needs someone for drop ins, etc.”


About: Hi! My name is Veronica. I'm 27 years old and I LOVE animals. I live in a pet friendly townhome community with a backyard area and it's only a few blocks away from the city dog park! :) Some things about me: I’m married and have two beautiful children that share the same love for animals that I do! I enjoy going on walks, watching movies and cuddling all fur babies! I always have treats on hand and I am so excited to be blessed enough to watch any of your precious little fur babies. I know leaving them in someone else's care can be hard, but I'm here to help make that worry a little less! :) I work 8:30-5 but my husband is home for 3 hours of the day between 11:30-3! They would never be without someone for more than 3 hours. I have a yard big enough to play fetch for hours. I’m also two blocks away from the city dog park! I can easily crate your dog if needed.


“We are incredibly grateful to April and her family for taking such wonderful care of our cat, Mufaza, while we were thousands of miles away visiting family. April made our trip anxiety-free by not only looking after Mufaza but also keeping us updated with thorough visit summaries and delightful pictures. It was clear from the updates that Mufaza was not just cared for but also given enough attention and stimulation to make him feel at ease despite our absence. April’s care was so exceptional that we would be delighted to have her watch Mufaza every time we travel without him. Thank you, April, for your exceptional service and for treating Mufaza as part of your family!”


“Jae is so great with our girls! We always come home to happy well taken care of pups. She even left the sweetest little Easter baskets for them this time with treats and scarves. <3”


About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.

About: I’ve grown up loving and caring for animals! I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby and had many different breeds growing up. From a akita chow to a cocker spaniel to a yorkie. I have a passion for animals and would love to open my own rescue one day! Thank you for your consideration! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of flexible time! I also have my own transportation and i’m willing to travel! Thank you! I will care for your pets like they are my own! I’m detail oriented and like to go above and beyond for animals and their owners!

About: I love animals as if they are my own kids. I can promise you that your pet/pets will be safe with me and will love me. I work full time M-F but can fit schedule into mine. Let’s give it a go. If it doesn’t work I am sure we can figure something out. I don’t currently have pets of my own so I would have to use your kennel but I do have a big back yard. They will have fun.

About: Being raised on a farm grew my love for animals and making sure every single one was cared for. I have been taking care of animals since I was 6 years old! I have taken care of horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies. Family and friends depended on my care while they were away. I am working full time currently and I am available for mostly nights and weekends. Otherwise, feel free to contact me and we can work something out! Whenever I come over to your house, whether it be for drop in visits or walks, I will play/exercise with them. I always love to see if I can teach your pet(s)a new trick like balancing a treat for example. If your pet(s) requires a lot of attention, no problem! I’ll tire them out by walking/running or with toys that work their mind(s).

“Anna is a truly wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my animals with such kindness, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail.

Kelly W.
“Kelly has many years of experience with all sorts of animals. However, she has always held dogs as her favorite. She’s believes in giving them all the love, care, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. We have 2 small corgis and one blue heeler she looked after for a few days and it was wonderful! Not only did they return safe and happy, they were not full of energy. (She was very active with the dogs, playing fetch, going for walks, etc.) She knew exactly how to keep them busy and having fun. I would recommend her to anyone who has a dog.”

“She watched my dogs while I went on vacation and the communication that she had with me was terrific she even sent pictures every day of the dogs. She went over and beyond way more than I asked her to do. She even told me I should feed them a different type of food for their bone health and I can see a difference in just a few months. She is amazing with animals”
