About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. I don’t have a set schedule it varies day to day. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.
“Kelsey was absolutely amazing. She was in constant communication with me while I was out of town and send me pictures the whole time. I will certainly be booking with her again! Thanks so much Kelsey!”

“Anna did an excellent job caring for our two golden doodles, on short notice no less. She came right over after I contacted her to meet the dogs. They treated her like an old friend almost immediately, which told us everything we needed to know. Throughout the week, Anna was punctual, thorough, and kind. She is an excellent communicator, and truly knows how to care for animals. We feel lucky to have found her and will definitely utilize her services again in the future.”

“Brittney and Steve did an outstanding job; they were very punctual, followed directions carefully and sent regular updates about our pets; we enjoyed our short trip knowing we had professional, smart and caring people like them taking care of all our dogs and cats. Highly recommended, we will definitely work with them again”

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.
About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for cats and dogs. I've had cats all my life and currently have a 15-year-old dog and 2 indoor/outdoor cats. I've also volunteered in dog boarding at a local business, where I was responsible for taking all the dogs out to potty at night. Your pets will be in loving and experienced hands!" I am currently a stay at home Mom. So your pets will have cuddles and plenty of play time throughout the day! I typically start my morning at 6:30. So early morning risers are no problem for me! I live in a 2 story house and have plenty of space for your fur baby. I can make any accommodations to make your baby comfortable in your home or mine. Whether it be crating or separating animals I will make sure they are happy and safe!

About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs all of my life. Dogs who are scared of everyone, love everyone they all hold a special place in my heart. I have always wanted to do this ! I am a stay at home mom with two dogs of my own, so I really have a very open Monday-Friday Schedule and I am open to discussing weekends! I will treat them just like they are mine, and mine are spoiled to a core. All dogs are special and deserve to know they are loved.
“James was AMAZING!!!! He took such great care of my dog and sent me pictures to let me know how she was doing. He also had to deal with my dog wetting the bed and was so gracious and understanding about it! I would highly recommend him!”

“Eleni watched our dogs at the last minute and was readily available for a meet & greet, where our dogs bonded with her instantly. Sent us photo updates & kept good communication throughout our being away. Happy to know we can call in her whenever we need someone to sit our furbabies!”

About: I've been a devoted dog lover and caregiver since I was 14, accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience with our furry friends. From energetic daily walks to cozy overnight boarding, I've done it all. Whether it's a quick potty break, a long adventure-filled walk, or extended stays, I have the experience to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. My years of practice have taught me to understand and respond to each dog's unique needs, making every pet-sitting experience positive and tailored to your furry family member. I'm currently working remotely with flexible hours and have availability throughout the day all seven days. Since I take care of my own dog, I spend at least two hours outside a day and pet care is incorporated throughout my routine. My approach to pet care is tailored to each dog's unique needs, whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. I've worked with a wide range of dogs, from anxious and timid to energetic and even aggressive ones that needed special handling. In-home care: I maintain the dog's routine, following your instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. For anxious dogs, I provide a calm, reassuring presence. For high-energy pups, I ensure plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Home boarding: I create a safe, welcoming space in my home. For dogs needing special accommodations, like those who can't be around others, I provide separate, secure areas. Daily walks and visits: I adapt to each dog's pace and stamina, always attentive to their comfort level and adjusting activities as needed. Regardless of the service, my priority is the dog's well-being and happiness. I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care that respects each dog's individual personality and needs, drawing on my experience with diverse canine temperaments and behaviors.
