About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs and have been consistently walking and caring for pets from middle school through college. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have years of pet sitting experience in both my home and clients' homes. I also have 2 of my own who are part of my everyday life...spoiled, loved and always by my side. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or playtime, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and never alone. I enjoy getting down on their level, playing, and making walks something they truly look forward to. I have a flexible schedule and can spend extended time with your pet if needed. If you'd like someone to stay during the day while you're at work, I'm happy to bring my laptop and keep your dog company, offering attention, breaks, and playtime throughout the day. If you're looking for someone dependable who will treat your dog like family, I'd love to help. I have a flexible, remote work schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention: * Monday-Thursday: Available early mornings until 11am, and again from 3:30pm into the evening. *Friday & Saturday: Open availability * Sunday: Available starting at 11am through the evening Because I work remotely, I'm also happy to stay longer during the day if your pet needs extra company. I can bring my laptop and be there beyond a standard drop-in. I love getting outside for longer walks (3-4 miles) but I'm just as happy to do shorter walks to help your pup burn off some energy. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed at all times. Before our first visit, I like to learn about any triggers, behaviors, or how they do with other dogs so I can tailor care to keep them calm and comfortable. I also check with you before giving treats and make sure I'm aware of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Most visits will take place in your home for your pet's comfort. However, if you ever prefer occasional care at my home, I have a fenced-in backyard and a Jeep for safe transport. You can always feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for with consistency, attention, and genuine love every time I'm with them.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

Tia was an amazing sitter! She did a 30min drop-in for my energetic Labrador, Bo. She was more than willing to arrange a meet and greet beforehand and maintained communication both before and during the visit. Tia not only followed all of my instructions but also exceeded my expectations. She even played a game of fetch with Bo outdoors (which is his favorite game ever). She truly impressed me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. ?

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals since I was 5. I lived on a farm all my life, I have bottle fed babies, given vaccines, and I have shown farm animals since I was 10. I have work at an animals hospital for about 4 years as a kennel assistant and a surgical prep assistant. My mom is a vet tech, so I have absorbed lots of knowledge from her. I have taken care of many senior dogs and can administer medication, fluids, and anything else your pet may need. One of my cats has IBD, anxiety, and asthma so I am no stranger to special diets and inhalers! If requested I can bathe and clip your dogs nails! I have experience with shy dog, reactive dogs, Itty bitty dogs and ones that are as big as horses. I work part time for about 6 hours out of the day. If pet needs someone around the clock they can come to work with me! I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 cats, a dog, and my fiance. My cats (Pesto and squishy) love all animals but don't go out of their way to bother them. My cats are separated from any other dog during their stay. My dog (Syri) is crated when I am away in a separate room from any other pets. Your pet is allowed to free range in the apartment as they please. If Syri and your pet don't get along they will be separated the entire stay!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week. My best times would be before 12 and after 7 but I can typically do times in between as well with enough notice I would care for your pet in any way necessary by following any instructions you can give me. With my experience, I know how to keep dogs safe and happy!
