About: I have always had dogs my whole life growing up. Recently our two dogs have gone through a board and train program and I have learned alot from that! I’m currently working a full time job. I am available in the afternoons usually and could do pop in visit during the day depending on the time. I am usually available after 5pm for sure but can work out times during the day that would work! I have a fenced in yard on my property. I can take your dog for a walk ; let them out for potty breaks however you usually do. I can Crate your dog as I have experience with that as well.

Brian is the best. We were so lucky to find him. We can go on vacation and not worry about our pets with Brian taking care of them. I highly recommend him for any animal care you need

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

Brittany was amazing! Our dog has separation anxiety, and she took amazing care of him - he usually doesn't do well without us but was clearly comfortable with Brittany and her family! We really appreciate the frequent updates and pictures, and Brittany went out of her way to drop him back off at our place. We'll definitely be using her services again!

Joy watched my dog in my home for two weeks and did an amazing job. She sent daily updates and pictures that really put me at ease. She took excellent care of my dog and couldn't be nicer. I would recommend her to others and would hire her again.

About: I know how important it is to leave your animals in capable, loving hands that you can trust. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and make sure they receive the care I would want for my own animals. I have 2 cats, Cat and Dash. They are the loves of my life. I also have lots of animals around me at all my friends and families’ homes. I am available to watch pets after 4pm every evening. If need be I could make it to your place before work as well. I have all day on the weekends to love on your animals. I would care for your animals in your own home. I would love to bring them into my home to give them more time but my cats do not take kindly to new animals. I would treat your home with the utmost respect and care and make sure it was left in the same condition it was found in.

About: I love animals. I believe that it is important to treat animals with the same respect that we treat humans. My family and I do have a dog and he is the happiest pup ever. I taught him many tricks and potty trained him! I have also pet sat for my friends dogs and my mother’s coworkers before. I am currently unemployed so I have full-time availability. I have my own car so transportation will never be an issue. I do not have any current obligations other than planning my upcoming wedding. I am very respectful and kind to animals. I pride myself on my patience and communication. I love to learn each individual pet, because they all have their own personalities. I make sure to follow owners’ rules when it comes to their fur baby!

Kendra cared for our 2 large dogs for 5 days. I have a 2 year old Great Dane Mastiff mix and a 12 year old English Mastiff. They both instantly fell in love with her kind nature. My old guy needs daily meds and an eye drop in his eye, Kendra had no issues with that. We came back, our house was clean and well kept. Most importantly our babies were happy and had a great time hanging out with her. Will rebook soon.

About: I’ve cared for multiple pets since I was younger and have grown to love animals. I’ve cared for dogs anywhere from puppies to older dogs. Also kittens to older cats that need daily meds(dogs that need meds as well), so I have a lot of experience with pet sitting. Also can watch any other animals just show me what needs done, I most likely can do it! I will try to always go above and beyond for your pets! I do pet sitting full time so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! Just message me to figure out days and times! I do get booked quick for overnight stays so try to book me quickly:) I unfortunately can not do care for any pets at my house but when coming to your house I will do anything asked to help with your fur baby and make sure they get all the loving I can give!

About: I love animals and I enjoy being around them. I have a one year old German shepherd mix who loves other animals and playing so it would be a great opportunity for the both of us. I enjoy being outdoors with my dog and I’d be sure to do the same with yours. I have a very nice neighborhoood where I can take your dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need(: if you have any questions I’m free to answer any you have. I live with one other person who would be able to help so somebody will always be available to love and care for your pets! We do great team work and we are ready to have fun I have one small child , 6 years old who is home Sunday - Thursday! I have plenty of time to enjoy time with your pets. Depending on the times I have your animals I like to start off with feeding and excercise early in the morning with evening walks and play sessions also being part of the daily schedule. I have a fenced in back yard and one fur baby to keep hours company. I am open to spending all the time in the world with your animals.🫶🏽

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve grown up surrounded by them and can’t imagine a home without furry companions. Currently, I share my home with two high-needs dogs and a cat, so I’m no stranger to specialized care, extra patience, and understanding the unique personalities that come with each pet. Whether it's managing medical needs, behavioral quirks, or just giving them the love and attention they deserve, I’m fully equipped and happy to do it. In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly watch over the pets of friends and family when they’re out of town. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I am a teacher full time, so during the school year I am available during evenings and weekends. I have full availability in June and July. I am open to overnights during long weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are maintaining their routine, ensuring their comfort, and providing them with loving, attentive care—just like they’d get if you were home. I always start by learning the pet’s daily schedule, preferences, and any special needs (like medications, feeding routines, or behavioral quirks). I do my best to stick closely to their normal rhythm so they feel safe and secure. While in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and tidy. I make sure your pets get plenty of attention—whether that means playtime, snuggles, walks, or simply sitting quietly with them if that’s what they prefer. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Whether your pet needs extra patience, lots of play, or just someone calm and consistent, I’m committed to making their time away from you as stress-free and loving as possible.

Lotus had a blast. I had videos for every visit. She was looking for Cynthia when I said her name. She had good exercise, was fed on time, and plenty outside play and potty time. Cynthia is the best and most trustworthy pet sitter I have had.
