About: As an animal lover, I've taken care of multiple animals since high school. The number of animals that where in my care ranged from dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I currently have a full time job from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I am available for check-ins, housesitting, and walks in the morning. I have a small apartment that is great for smaller dogs and cats to roam. I provide toys and have a friendly rabbit to keep them company.
About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life, from cats, birds, reptiles, goats, chickens, and dogs. I’ve personally owned multiple dogs growing up, ranging from Chihuahua mixes (small) to Anatolian Shepards (100lb+). I’m able to administer medicines, including kitties, and I do own a clicker for simple tricks and training. I’m very good snd patient at taking care of senior or older pets as well since they need a lil’ extra love. I’ve also done pet sitting before several times already, and I love spending time with them all!! I’m working part time currently, working 1-2 days a week, so I will have lots and lots of free time to take care of, visit, or walk your babies! I plan to build a trusted relationship with your kitty or doggy, love them, and treat them as if they were my own. This means I will always leash your dog if taken for a walk, harness if needed. On hot days, I will always bring a water bottle and collapsible container for your puppy to ensure a fun and safe walk for everyone. For any emergency safety situations, I do plan to carry pepper spray for both of our safety. I also have a fanny pack for treats (with your approval), doggy bags for poo, and wipes for paws as needed. Kitties deserve the same level of love and care as our canines, so I will be sure to always leave with a clean litter box, monitor them for any abnormal behaviors, brush them as needed, and make sure everyone has access to fresh drinking water. Any special food plans, medications, or specific tasks can and will be done according to your directions and instruction. You know them best, after all! 💞 All of my services will include several pictures and fun videos to share with you so you don’t miss any of it. 🌟
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 11 years old. I cared for my dogs and my neighbors, friends, and family pets. I am currently working full time so I would be able to care for your pets and give my undivided full attention Friday through Monday. I have an open, big backyard and a front yard for play time and I can also crate your pet if it’s needed or wanted.
“My two sons Azul and champ looked fat and fine and like they didn’t miss us much at all! Terrell was on time every day, and he walked them every day and took pictures every day. We were quite well satisfied and relaxed because Terrell took great care of both my boys. Great job will ask for him again.”

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience I would love to put your mind at ease with your animals! I am active and used to walking dogs of all sizes. I am a stay at home mom, so I am very flexible to drop by to let your dog out during the day, or come over for a walk any day during the week. I have a lab/hound mix who gets at least a 45 minute walk everyday, so I understand the importance and priority of making sure your pet stays active! I am a stay at home mom so I am very flexible to come to your home as needed throughout the day. I have a lab/hound mix so I am very comfortable with dogs of any size and activity level. My dog sleeps in a kennel but stays out during the day, so I am comfortable with whatever you choose for your pet’s specific situation.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.
About: I have taken care of my dog since I was a kid have been around different dog breeds my whole life I’m excited to see your pet. I’m currently using this as my job I’m free for house sitting and walks through out the whole week. I’d love to come out and play with your pets. I’d love to be able to get to know your pet and take them on loving walks give them plenty of treats if diet allows it. Multiple pets is not a problem for me either.
About: I have years of experience caring for farm animals, dogs, and cats—and I truly enjoy every minute of it (even when they think my shoes are chew toys). Whether it's feeding, walking, bathing, giving medication, or just being their personal cuddle buddy: friends, family, and neighbors trust me to look after their pets. I’m always excited to give each one the attention they deserve—no tail wag or purr goes unnoticed! I’m currently an Occupational Therapy student at UMMC, so early mornings or evenings work best for me. Any additional needs to pet care could be discussed as well. In my years of caring for pets, I’ve visited client’s homes to bring them on walks, play with them, or keep them company. Depending on pet type and size, boarding services may be available, but for the majority, I will visit client’s homes to ensure their pet’s needs!
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. I would love to able to walk and watch your pets for you. I currently work in the animal field and would love a way to enjoy my passion and make money for my savings. I currently work a part time job and would need to text or have a call about what days I’m available. I would prefer a day of walks, check-ins, and would be open to overnight. I would love to sit at the owners home. I would take them for daily walks in your neighborhood or nearby parks. I’m also good at nap time and daily feedings for your pets.
“Makayla certainly lived up to the hype! She was accommodating, and genuine. Communication was great as well. Blue did not wish to see her go when his stay concluded. I am already looking to book her for upcoming visits!”

“Shawna was the perfect sitter to look after our ragdoll. Communication and access were always timely. Each visit resulted in detailed notes and pictures. Will definitely use Shawna for future sitting needs.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my life for every year since the last 15 years. My house currently sits of my wife, my 4 year daughter, 2 year old son, and a 2 year old German shepherd of which all love pets. I work full time but my weekends are free. For a extra fee, I can pick up your pet. For boarding, we are only available during the weekends. For all other services needed for a weekday, it will have to be after 5 I have a fenced yard and also a German shepherd that will keep your loved one company. The people and pets in my house are all pet friendly.

About: My goal is to love, protect & care for each of your babies in the environment in which they feel most comfortable- their own home. I have stayed busy with pet sitting on the side for 11 years now, which I consider a blessing. I understand how depressed pets can get when their owners are away. I can't stand to see their sad, little faces. So, I make certain each pet gets plenty of love and attention, just as a child would; because that's what they are! I love to care for animals! I consider it a privilege. As of right now, I'm available lunch/ afternoons and in the evenings during the week. And have even more time on the weekends, to love on & care for your babies. I promise to always provide an environment that's safe (this includes a large, temperature controlled "doggie" safe-from this heat/extreme temps-room, complete with a doggie door, that leads to a nice, large backyard, if ever I'm caring for them at my house) and filled with lots of love. I will take the very best care of each and every furry baby that is entrusted to me. And I will do my very best to honor any special requests you may have.
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals and have had pets throughout my life. Currently, I have a 2-year-old golden retriever, and I completely understand the need for assistance with your pet or simply wanting them to have more socialization and exercise! Luckily, I have a pretty flexible hybrid position that allows me to be available when needed! I can be available anytime between 7am-7pm Monday through Friday. I have always been huge on earning an animal’s trust and not pushing them too hard. I train my own pet with positive reinforcement with a clean and calm environment.
