Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority!
About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting for over 25 years. I have cared for Grate Danes to snakes and parakeets to a shih Tzu and several yorkies. I currently have a 12 year old miniature pinscher that is spayed and has diabetes. So I am use to giving her shots everyday. I understand the love and dedication we feel for our pets and we all want someone that understands that our pets are part of the family. I am patient with animals and know that they see the love that people portray and give off when you approach them. That's why I'm so good at this type of job. What I love about dogs are they are the only thing on earth that loves it's owner more than they love themselves. I am retired and I am able to spend as much time as possible with my baby (Snookie). She goes just about everywhere with me. Right now I am able to do daily check ins and feedings a few times a day if needed. I can do evening or overnight feeding also.
“Tia came through for me at the last minute—the NIGHT before my trip—without ever having met me or my dog, Amara. She stepped in and made sure Amara was well cared for and loved the entire weekend. Amara had some adjustment issues and even got sick at one point, but Tia went above and beyond. Not only did she clean up after her, but she also made sure Amara felt better and was comfortable before leaving. She truly went the extra mile, and I can’t thank her enough. I was nervous about leaving Amara for the weekend, but knowing she was in great hands gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend Tia to anyone—thank you again!”
“Great care and handling. Excellent communication…”
“Ashley is the bees knees. She loves on my baby and treats him like he’s her own. She has open availability and communicates well too. There’s not a better sitter on Rover!”
“Loved having Kathryn and her husband walk our new pup”
About: I currently have two dogs and three cats (basset hound-beagle mix and a pit bull),our beagle has been our family dog for the last 14 years. In the past i’ve had multiple cats, a bunny, another pit bull, and hamsters/gerbils. Im a huge pet person in general and would love the chance to get to know your furry family member. My work hours are flexible giving me the convenience to stop by for a walk or even just to say hey! Your furry friend is my furry friend and they’ll always get the best care no matter what!! Can’t wait to get the chance to help you and hopefully make a new furry family! I prioritize pet care by scheduling regular feeding times and exercise breaks throughout the day, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. With a flexible work schedule, Im available for midday walks, playtime, or feeding sessions to accommodate their needs. And with spare weekend time, I can plan longer activities like outdoor adventures or grooming sessions to keep them healthy and happy. For in-home care, I'd set up a comfortable and safe environment, ensuring your pet has access to food, water, and toys. I would follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, and adhere to any grooming needs! For client's homes, I can assist with creating personalized care plans tailored to their pets' specific needs and preferences. This might include daily check-ins, feeding and walking schedules, administering medication if necessary, and providing updates on their pet's well-being.
About: I love to interact with animals, they will have exercise and lots of fun or cuddles if they are couch potatoes. I love all three of my dogs like they are my human children. I have always been an animal lover and would love to meet new pets around my area! I will provide the same care to your pets, as I do mine. I hope you give me the opportunity and entrust in me to love on your furry friend! My oldest boy is 7 with hip issues, so I have experience with senior dogs and know how to handle there every day care and limited exercise time. I work full time but I would be available on most Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays during lunch and after 5pm. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Our neighborhood is private so dogs can’t wonder off into traffic or other peoples homes. I have three babies myself so your fur baby would have friends to play with.
“Kim was outstanding with our Ellie. She was very punctual about arrival time and Ellie was a tired pup when she left. We will definitely be using Kim again!!”
About: My love for animals started when I worked at a shelter in my middle school years. My husband and I have one mini Goldendoodle, Franklin, who is friendly and energetic. He loves the company of other dogs and would certainly welcome your fur baby into our home! We also have a two year old daughter who adores dogs. We walk our dog daily in our neighborhood and would be happy to take yours with us. I am self-employed and primarily work from home, so I am able to give your dog the attention they deserve. We are most comfortable with small and medium dogs. We would love to care for your dog while you are enjoying your vacation or simply away from home! Thank you for considering us! I primarily work from home. When I am away from home for work on some evenings and Saturdays, my husband is usually home as he is a teacher and has evening and weekend flexibility. We coordinate our schedules to make sure one of us is available for your dog. We currently only board one dog at a time to ensure they are getting plenty of love and attention. We have a friendly Goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company. We also take daily walks and would be happy to bring your dog along with us. We have a medium sized crate if your dog needs to be crated, or they can sleep in a dog bed.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and pet sitting since middle school. I am comfortable with common house pets like cats and dogs as well as farm animals like horses and donkeys. I am able to house sit as well as farm sit. I have experience giving medications around the clock to special needs dogs so I am comfortable with most situations, even the dogs who do not want to take their medications! I am very patient with young dogs who are potty training, working on obedience skills and learning how to be a good citizen. I like to spend a lot of time outside so your dog(s) will enjoy quality time outside on walks/hikes, playing fetch, and even swimming. You will receive tons of photos (if you like, not everyone wants to be bothered while on vacay!) and daily updates! I work a full time remote job that is very flexible so I am able to take breaks as needed to provide pet care, take dogs for walks, etc. I previously worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility and am comfortable with a variety of dogs and their special needs, as well as clean up! I know what to watch for when it comes to bloat and heat exhaustion, as well as other common and uncommon conditions.
About: I have worked in a boarding facility for around two years now. I have experience in administering medication, including insulin, senior care, and puppy care. I also have worked with dogs of all breeds! I also have experience in dog walking as well as dog sitting! I am currently working part time and am able to make my own schedule so I have plenty of time to help out with dogs of all sizes! When it comes to dog sitting, I do offer care in the clients home. I do have animals of my own so I would not be able to keep any addition pets in my home.
About: I will take care of any pet. I have taken care of cats and dogs but have no animal limits. I will make your your pets are happiest! Pet care is currently my full time job. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.
About: I've been working at a doggy daycare for the last almost 3 years now and I love it. I've taken care of all sorts of dogs at the daycare but would love a bit more one-on-one time. I've had dogs for the past about 15 years of my life and I've also had some experience with dog-sitting specifically for about three years now. I currently work full time five days a week. My schedule is constantly changing but I always have two days off and am perfectly ready to spend that time with any kind of fur baby. My dog and cats are known to be a bit more territorial so I would feel safer taking care of your fur babies at your home if that is alright. But, while at your home, I am willing to do anything from running your baby around to cuddling on the couch.
About: We are a fun filled house who loves playing with our pups inside and outdoors! We have had dogs as a part of our family since I can remember. We love the active pup who wants to play and take walks just as much as the snuggliest of pups who enjoy nothing more than a lazy night on the couch. My husband and I are currently both working from home. Allowing us maximum time with pups for all the walks, playtime and snuggles. Kids are active in sports so they will be in and out of the house. We have a fenced in backyard with two friendly pups who love to play! We are big into our time outside on the patio and playtime with the toys. We have family over a lot with their dogs so our two are used to being around other dogs and get along with everyone!
About: I love dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have 1 dog - Georgia (a terrier mix who is 6). In the past few years my family unfortunately lost our other 2 babies Keyto ( a chihuahua) & Ringo (a boxer). I loved how each of their personalities & characteristics were so different & the interactions always made for good stories. I feel I am adaptable to a variety of energy levels also, whether it’s long play sessions with an energetic dog or just keeping a low energy dog company. I am generally available every Friday-Monday. I aim to keep all pets happy and comfortable in their own homes while I am caring for them. I am very comfortable with pets who keep a specific schedule & enjoy when a pet’s parent leaves a list or schedule for me so that I know their pet will not be stressed while having a new person caring for them. I currently work Tuesday-Thursday (12 hour shifts) so I will be available Friday-Monday only to ensure all pets will get the attention they deserve in my care I am very cautious with my own dog and will ensure to give the same care to your pet. Whether it’s on walks, in the yard, or inside the house keeping pets safe is a priority!
About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs since I was a kid. I also have a couple fur babies of my own! I am a lover of all animals and will provide quality care for your babies like they are my own! I have dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors before. I'm currently a full-time student in college but my schedule is very flexible due to not have classes all day. I normally do my pet care during breaks between classes, in the morning, and once school is done for the day. I have a friendly dog of my own that your fur baby is more than welcome to play with. I have multiple leashes that can be used, and can easily crate your dog if needed in a kennel if necessary. I come with supplies of my own for walks and such if needed. If a dog happens to be reactive, I will make sure to do what is comfortable for them!
