“Tawny was so attentive to my two high maintenance pups! He was attentive, responsible, kind, flexible, loving, organized, super clean, and fun. It is abundantly clear that Tawny is an animal lover, and he is a natural with dogs. He was with my two dogs for almost a full week, and they were safe and happy when I got home!”

“Leaving your dog behind while traveling internationally can be stressful, but Michele made the entire experience worry-free. She cared for my dog, Max, while I was on vacation and provided outstanding communication the whole time. I loved receiving regular photos and videos, and it was obvious that Max was getting lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend Michele and will gladly trust her with Max again in the future.”

“Thank you so much for watching my little doggos at my house while I was gone. I know it made all the difference to them to be in their familiar environment. The house was clean and doggies happy when we got home. ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of several family dogs since I was 8. I’m the go to person to watch any friends or family’s animals any time they’ve left town or need any assistance. I was also a CNA out of high school helping to care for senior citizens and their animals in their homes and facilities. I’m currently taking online classes so I’m generally very free and available just about anytime. Please reach out I’m happy to talk and see if we can work out a time frame! I currently help take care of my downstairs roommates cat frequently when they go out of town we have lots of cat toys, a tower, and cat bed. I also live in a dog friendly townhouse neighborhood with a dog park and plenty of grassy fields around.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of formal veterinary education, hands-on medical experience, and specialized behavioral handling. Having completed coursework in veterinary science and veterinary assisting, I bring a professional understanding of animal health, safety protocols, and early illness detection that standard pet sitters often lack. I am fully confident administering oral or topical medications, ensuring pets with strict medical needs or chronic conditions never miss a dose. Furthermore, my background with behavioral issues means I can accurately read animal body language, manage stress triggers, and provide a calm, safe environment for anxious rescues, high-energy puppies, or senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care serve as the core structure of your daily routine by setting fixed times for feeding, exercise, and play. Daily Anchors: Schedule morning and evening feedings, regular walks, and playtime at consistent times each day to give structure to your morning and afternoon. Midday Engagement: Dedicate open daytime blocks to longer walks, trick training, or grooming, which helps keep both you and your pet active. Weekly Tasks: Set aside specific days for deeper maintenance, like cleaning food bowls, washing bedding, and stocking up on supplies. Care for pets—whether in your home or a client's—centers on establishing strict safety routines, maintaining clear communication, and respecting behavioral boundaries. Safe and trustworthy environment for both settings: In Your Home (Boarding or Daycare) Since you can only host pets that get along with others, pre-screening and temperament testing are critical: Conduct a "Meet & Greet": Always meet new client pets on neutral ground (like a local park or quiet sidewalk) before accepting a booking to observe how they react to other animals and strangers. Controlled Introductions: Introduce pets slowly on-leash, watching for tense body language (stiff posture, hard stares, raised hackles) before allowing free interaction. Separation Capability: Maintain dedicated, secure spaces (such as crates, playpens, or separate rooms) so pets can eat, sleep, or rest without stress or competition. Always separate animals during feeding time. Home-Proofing: Ensure backyards are fully fenced with locked gates, hide all cords/cleaning supplies, and keep trash cans secured. In the Client’s Home (House Sitting or Pet Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, consistency and home security are key: Follow Their Routine: Adhere strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and bedtime rules to keep the pet calm and secure. Maintain Home Security: Keep doors and windows locked, ensure gate latches are secured, and properly manage keys or security codes. Leash & Door Safety: Never let pets off-leash in un-fenced areas, and always double-check door latches or gate locks before letting a pet loose in a yard. Emergency Readiness: Have the vet’s contact info, emergency clinic locations, and pet insurance or payment preferences clearly laid out before the owner leaves. Communication & Trust Daily Updates: Send regular photos, videos, and brief notes about feeding, potty habits, and mood to give owners complete peace of mind. Honesty First: If a pet shows anxiety, behavioral issues, or signs of illness, notify the owner promptly to discuss next steps together.

About: I have experience with taking care of tons of animals throughout my childhood examples are, cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, chickens, ducks and goats! I have 2 years of experience of working at an animal daycare facility and I want to help pet owners more out of my work! I have tons of free time after my works, and during the weekends to help out owners. I will always make time the best I can to whoever books me and go way beyond because that's what I would love for my pets. I always make sure my animals have attention and love everyday! Every time I go out anywhere with my dog its always a duty to get him a pup cup. I take hikes, walks, and bjorking with my dog most days to get his daily exercise because his breed is an active dog.

About: I absolutely love animals! I have experience with having up to 30 dogs in one yard and understand their body language to avoid fights and tiffs. I would love to help care for your fur babies to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have open availability mornings on weekdays! Evenings sometime are a little more tricky for me. If you are in need for help over a weekend reach out! I might be able to! 😁 I love making sure your pet is happy, safe and healthy.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, growing up with a variety of animals and learning the basics of pet care. However, at 18, my approach became much more serious when I adopted an 8 week old Great Pyrenees named Kodiak who had significant health, behavioral, and medical issues. This experience taught me a great deal about managing complex health challenges, addressing behavioral problems, and providing specialized care, which deepened my commitment to responsible pet ownership and caregiving. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and with Kodiak's ailments, I realized how difficult it can be to find high-quality pet sitters especially for pets requiring more assistance, patience, and time. I would love to provide reliable and trustworthy care to every and all pets, and if you have a dog who is a little more picky and high-maintenanced with who they allow in your home, then I would love to be the one to start building that trust with you and your pup. Thank you again for considering and trusting me to be part of your pups and your lives! Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. :) I am a part-time nanny so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and if I'm not home, my husband Ryan is! I usually take my own dogs 1-2x daily for long walks and I would love to bring your pups along! For boarding - I have a fenced yard with neighbors who also have dogs so barking is not an issue. We live close to several fenced off-leash dog parks and public parks to allow additional room for your pup to roam! I also have made walks a priority first thing in the mornings and evenings with our current 2 dogs. For walking/check-ups- I promise to follow direct instructions and orders you provide. I promise to reach out to you directly if I have any concerns or questions on specific care, restrictions, permissions, etc. rather than assuming. I will make informed, safe decisions on your pets care if I cannot get in touch with you.

“Came home to happy healthy cats and a safe clean house. Would definitely re-book with Mark next time we leave town. I loved how he sent me videos and updates.”

“Jai was a great pet and house sitter. He provided pictures and updates every day. I loved hearing about his and Ivy's day. I would recommend him and plan to use him in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have house trained puppies and taken care of senior dogs as well. Love to go on hikes to socialize dogs. With a part time job I now have mornings free and would like to spend time with helping out furry friends get out more and enjoy fresh air. Caring for pets is very important to me. Which is why I like to arrive about five minutes early and have treats for encouragement. Pete and be weary of strangers so I will also be arriving a bit early for them to get to know me as well.

“Heather was able to do a last minute meet and greet and watch my dog when my other dog sitter cancelled the night before I was supposed to leave. So grateful for her responsiveness and coming to help quickly. She did a great job taking care of my dog who liked her immediately when we did the meet and greet. I came home to a super clean home and happy dog. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to someone else for pet care.”

About: I always have energy for play, I love to be thoughtful and nurturing. Taking care of animals fills my heart all the way up. The presence of pets makes an environment entirely warmer. I work about 8 am- 4 pm, mon-fri, but I live in an apartment right now and travel a lot so I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment. I pet sit for family and friends often, but would love to have more weekends, evenings, and early mornings of that! I love walks a lot, I get miles in per day, no matter the weather. I love throwing a ball, I love sitting on the floor petting any animal near by. A day with those activities is my most ideal day. I also love gardening so any plant watering tasks make me very happy.

“Sarah was communicative, kind, and very attentive to my old gal. We are looking forward to working with her again soon!”
