“Brandi is absolutely a treasure, we are so grateful to have her as our puppy caretaker while we are away. Our puppies absolutely love her! Our Bailey is very shy and a bit skittish, but Brandi has won her over with her kind and sweet demeanor. We always know our pups are in great hands when Brandi is here with them. 🐾🩷”

About: Hello! Since a young age, I have lived with a happy, excited dog who has always been a joy to come home to. As a younger sitter, I believe I bring a special energy and excitement when it comes to taking care of dogs. I watched my golden doodle transform from a little puppy into an awesome dog. From feeding her, taking her on walks, cleaning up after her, watching her, and simply spending time with her, I learned how to take care of a dog in all phases of her life. I recognize that all dogs behave differently, but I enjoy looking after dogs who have a ton of energy and love constant attention. That being said, I think dogs who are quieter and might not want as much attention are just as important! Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I hope I have the opportunity to care for your dog soon! I am currently a college student home for summer break, so I should be pretty flexible when it comes to caring for your dog. Besides taking one online summer course, I will most likely be free for most of the day, if you need me! Although I will not be taking dogs at my own house, I am more than willing to take your dog for a walk in the park, around the suburb that I live in, or on the lake path that I am near. I am more than happy to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. If that means staying at your house and just utilizing your space, that is great!

About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.

About: I've spent years caring for pets and have professional experience as a dog trainer. I specialize in obedience, leash manners, and providing loving, reliable pet care. Whether it's daily walks, training reinforcement, or cozy companionship, I ensure every pet feels safe and happy while their owners are away. With a flexible part-time work schedule, I can prioritize each pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I adapt to their routine to provide consistent, loving care. My schedule allows me to be there when your pet needs me most! I provide loving, reliable care for pets in their own home, ensuring their daily routine stays consistent. From mealtime to playtime and snuggles, I prioritize their comfort and happiness. Whether it's following feeding schedules, daily walks, or medication needs, I do my best to keep their routine uninterrupted, so they feel safe and secure while you're away.

About: I come from a blended family, so my mother has 4 cats and my father has 2 dogs. As the eldest, I take the initiative to be responsible for their well-being when my parents are away. I understand the hard-work, mindful care, and protective security that is pet-sitting. I take my dogs for frequent walks, clean up after their accidents, provide food and water for them, and make sure they get their daily treats. I understand the psychology of my cats in order to bond with them and provide them with chill vibes and lots of purrs. I take care of their litter boxes, feed them wet and dry food twice daily as recommended, and maintain their water bowls. I also clean up after them when they puke up hairballs in random places around the house. I understand the energy and dedication that it takes to care for a furry, loved member of the family. I check up on my pets frequently and consistently to ensure their safety and wellness. I like to get my pets active, whether that entails walks, belly rubs, or the comfort in presence of a nearby guardian. I guarantee if your pet could talk it would say, "I want to be his buddy!"

About: I’m a guy who falls in love with dogs instantly. Don’t want them back? No worries! Dogs instantly want to be my best friend and I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t like or that didn’t like me. I work from home. My dogs are part of the family. I would take care of your dogs as if they were my own children. I have a doggy door and outside kennel for the dogs to use as needed. I’m also happy to take dogs on a walk and my wife is a super dog walker. We have two dogs-a Pomeranian who is all love and a lab who’s an old girl but who is the best dog you’ll ever meet. I understand dogs. How they communicate, how they operate. I know how to get them to develop good habits.

About: I have over 35 years of caring for animal experience, very trustworthy, and very well-known in my community. I will care for your animals as my own. I do work a full-time job. My schedule is after 5 o’clock during the week and available most weekends. Able to adjust schedule when needed. I have a fenced in yard. I am able to crate your animal easily if needed. I am able to separate animals when it’s necessary.

About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.

About: My lifelong love of dogs has turned into an opportunity to help others by caring for your furry friends in my home. I ❤️ dogs! With my part-time schedule I have am able to spend plenty of time at home with furry friends of all sizes. I am flexible to care for dogs during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have extra crates if that would be more convenient for you.

“Terri watched my babies for 2 weeks recently while I was in Europe. I was a nervous nelly about leaving them behind. I certainly didn’t want to put them in a kennel / prison. Terri kept me constantly updated with texts and photos on how they were doing. Most importantly she kept them on the small routines they were used to so that they would be less stressed. I too was less stressed. She did a great job. I would recommend her highly.”
