“Angela is amazing!! She has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs while our work schedules are more busy than usual and it has given us such a piece of mind. She even came out to our house prior to the visits starting to meet our dogs which made us feel even more comfortable!!”

About: We’ve always had dogs until recently. Our last one went to the rainbow bridge last June. We’re taking a break from dog ownership, but would love to still have dogs around! We have over 30 years of experience with all kinds of dogs and other pets. I work 4 days per week and my husband is a retired police officer and has a very flexible part time schedule. My husband watches our video cameras frequently when not home to check on the house, pups (ours until recently). We require a free meet & greet visit for all first time clients. Whether the requested service be boarding, walks, or drop ins. We feel this requirement is essential for trust, safety, and expectations. We want your dog to feel comfortable with us first be for caring for them. We have a fenced in yard and a dog door. Dog door will be blocked off at owners request. We only take one clients dogs at a time so we can devote all of our attention to them. Your dogs will be treated as our family pet while we are watching them and they will never be kept in a cage or crate unless the client requests it. Because your dog(s) will have the run of our house, we only take dogs that are completely house broken. This means if your dog only occasionally pees in the house or pees when they’re super excited, unfortunately we won’t be able to accommodate a booking. We live in the country and on rare occasions we have found a tick on our dogs. This has happened maybe four times in the past 20 years. If we’re going to be walking your dogs on our property, they should be on a flea and tick preventative. We have security cameras in the house and outside. My husband is retired law enforcement and I am a registered nurse.

About: I love animals, and do have my own pets. I know what it’s like being a pet parent and just needing to make sure your fur baby gets the love and attention they need. I work from home and can work pretty much anywhere. So my availability is very open to meet your needs. I work M-F and have weekends off. My job is to make your life easier and make sure your pets are safe and loved. I will follow any rules you provide. I do not allow children to approach dogs while walking for everyone’s safety.
“Samantha is an incredible pet sitter - she did daily check-ins with my 3 dogs for several weeks and was always on time, very reliable, and my dogs love her! During this time one of my dogs passed away and she went out of her way to adjust it through Rover even though I didn’t ask her to do so. She was so kind to us during that time as well. I will definitely have Samantha watch my dogs again!”

“Taylor is an excellent pet sitter! We are so very pleased with her loving and caring attention to our pups. Plus her communication with us while we were away was outstanding and provided much peace of mind.”

“I needed a last minute drop in visit with my dog and asked Nancy and within two hours my request was completed! Getting pics of my sweet boy was icing on the cake. Breathed a huge sigh of relief! She’s the best!”
“Olivia did an amazing job with our skittish cat. It takes a lot for him to warm up to people, and he clearly liked her — which says a lot. She was responsive, followed all directions, sent updates and pictures, and was very friendly. We felt completely comfortable while we were away and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up taking care and watching pets. I have mainly worked with dogs and cats. I have been relied on to walk and feed pets for friends and family since I was young. I’m currently working part time evenings and weekends. I have availability during the day throughout the week to come walk your furry friends, let them out to go potty, or just play with them in the house so their day isn’t as lonely. I have a very large fenced in yard that has never had a issue accommodating my 90lbs Flat Coat. I am used to dealing with all different size dogs and can be sure keep them safe while I’m in your home or out on a walk.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own six dogs as well as others, and I’ve worked professionally in a doggy daycare setting. In addition, I’ve fostered animals and have experience working with horses, so I’m comfortable around a wide range of animal types. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I truly understand how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your fur babies will always be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently work part-time while caring for my own dogs, and I offer dog walking and drop-in visits on a part-time basis due to my schedule. However, during the time I’m with your dog, I promise to provide them with plenty of attention, care, and love. With my flexibility, I’m able to stop by for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive looking after your fur babies, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer part-time dog walking and drop-in visits, and during my time with your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love. I can crate your dog if needed, handle feeding, and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For walks, I bring my own water and treats (if you don’t provide them or allergy restrictions), so your dog stays happy and hydrated. I’ll also ask detailed questions about your pet beforehand so I fully understand their routine, needs, and preferences—ensuring they receive the best possible care.

“Amanda is so amazing with our baby girl and Kansas just loves her new friend! We moved here from California and needed someone to check in on her during the day and we couldn’t be more happy with Amanda! Kansas def has a new best friend and is always so excited to play with her :)”

About: I'm an experienced pet sitter who loves spending time with dogs. I'm patient, reliable and, I treat your pet like family. I have owned and worked with dogs all my life (I'm 65) and feel this is a natural fit as I near and enter into retirement. I'm currently a full time pastor of a Lutheran congregation. The congregation is used to me bringing dogs with me to work. However, depending on the pet and the request of the owners, I can leave pets at my (or your) home and check in on them regularly. I am with them overnight. I do not have a fenced yard in my Condo so will walk them on a leash. I have my own fur baby, Annie, who absolutely loves other doggy companions. I work with each pet and client individually to ensure that we are meeting your needs. Crate trained animals are welcome but I've sat for many who roam free in the condo.
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, etc. I have a background in animal 4H and am still a club advisor. I work night shift with fluctuating days off but am able to fit pet care into my day after work and before I go into work. I can take care of your animals in your home and flex my schedule to best meet your needs. I am an active person and can walk dogs, clean litter boxes and provide food and water.
About: I have taken care of dogs since i was under 10 years old! I volunteered at an animal shelter and know how to help train! I currently am working from home so I have plenty of time to care of animals , train with them, and play with them as well! I myself have a half fenced in yard. I have a lovely corgi/aussie dog for your pup to play with! I can also crate if you need!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.
