About: I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. When I didn’t have my own, I was always volunteering to take care of my friends dogs. This was good for me while I was going to school and moving around. After separating from the Air Force, I have been blessed to have two of my own fur babies. I’m able take care of your pets before and after I go to my full time job. If you want me to take care of your pets over night, we would need to make sure they get along with my dogs. I would take care of your pets as if they where my own. I take mine on a walk three times a day. Since I don’t have a yard, I’m constantly taking my Great Pyrenees/Lab hiking 2 to 3 times a week.

About: Over the past ten years I’ve had the opportunity and joy to look after pets all ages, size, and personalities! I grew up with Dobermans, schnauzers, and even yorkies so I have had a wide range of dogs in the house at once. I was a veterinary technician for a year so I have experience with all cats and dogs from puppies to older animals. I also have experience with medicine and giving medicine to animals due to my job as a veterinary tech. This extensive experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to handle situations which would ensure your pet(s) the best care! I am currently awaiting my career in esthetics and have taken time off until beginning that and have time throughout the whole week/weekend to care for and love on your animals! Your pets are in good hands with me! I understand how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else’s care but I promise the well being of your animal is my top priority. My experience and love for animals is why I would be honored to watch your wonderful pet(s) without any stress. I can ensure you to love on them and keep them happy and healthy while you are away!

About: I was raised on a farm and grew up caring for animals every day: big dogs, barn cats, senior pets, the whole mix. I’ve been helping neighbors, friends, and family with walks, feedings, medications, and pet sitting since I was 10. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely love animals. This isn’t just a side job for me; it’s something I’m naturally good at and enjoy doing. I’ve got a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m around most weekdays after 2pm and wide open on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, drop-ins or overnights, I’ll show up with patience, care, and a calm energy animals tend to vibe with. I live in a duplex with a big living room and two chill cats, who can be kept in the library if needed. I like to keep things calm, safe, and consistent with whatever your pet is used to. Whether they need space, quiet, play, or routine. I’ll match their energy and treat them like they’re my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and cats for about 4 years. My grandma has always had a dog who I loved to take on walks, feed and give lots of cuddles. I own a cat who I love to play with, cuddle and lay around the house with. I only work 4 days of the week 9-5, so I have ample time to pet sit, drop in for care or go for walks! I treat every pet with love as if they are my own and make sure to give them everything they need. Their happiness is very important to me

About: I have been taking care of animals almost my whole life as I grew up with pets and have animals of my own now, but I also have 3+ years of experience as a primary care and emergency care veterinary assistant. I see pets as more than pets - they are our family and you deserve to have peace of mind that your pets are being treated as such when you are traveling. I have been trained in dog and cat CPR, and I am very observant, especially with animals who have special needs. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. At the moment, I can offer pet sitting, drop ins, and dog walking any day of the week. When I care for pets in your home, I will try to maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions you have, whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or following a certain play schedule. During my visits, I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and walks to ensure they stay active and happy. I’m also happy to send updates with photos or videos so you can keep track of how they’re doing while you’re away.
