About: I have always grown up with dogs and have loved having them in my life. I just moved to the area and adopted a dog myself. I’d love to love on your dogs and give them all the care they need and deserve! I work an 8-5 job Monday through Friday but am remote 2 days a week, off on the weekends, and am free after work. The weekends is when I am the most available, so if your pet needs some extra love I can be there longer on weekends! However, if you just need someone to walk your pup or do a quick check in, I can be there any day. Within your home, I can take care of your pup however you need! Provide me with your pups specific needs and personality and I can tailor my care to them. Perhaps they like more snuggles or more outside play time. We can work together to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. Within my house, I have lots of toys and puzzles which I like to use to make sure the dog is being active both physically and mentally. I love taking my dog on walks or to the dog park to get some social time.

About: It has been a dream of mine to be a veterinarian since I was a little girl, so pet sitting has given me more opportunities to take care of animals of kinds. I've pet sat for friends and family and absolutely love it. I've made close connections with the animals I've sat for and love them like my own. I currently work at a vet office and enjoy seeing the new patients every day! I hope to be a very special person in your fur babies lives. I'm currently a full-time online college student and am a full-time worker as a veterinary assistant. If needed, contact me and we can discuss times and dates to work around both schedules. Because I pet sit and house sit, I play with the animals and cuddle them like they are my own. I stay on their feeding schedule and let them out while I'm there as well. I make sure to keep the owners posted while they are away of any emergencies that may occur. Before owners come home, I'll make sure to wash any linens that were used, wash any dishes that are in the sink, and make sure to sweep up anything that needs to be swept up. I'll take the trash out and will clean the toys up as well. Before I leave the home, I like to leave a note thanking the owner for allowing me to stay in their home and assuring them all that was taken care of as well.

“I always love when Elizabeth walks my pups! She sends wonderful pics and is always super kind and responsive. Will definitely be booking in the future!”

About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.

About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who genuinely loves animals of all kinds — dogs and cats included! I work from home 4/5 days a week, which allows me to provide lots of supervision, companionship, and flexible care. As a Doberman owner myself, I have hands-on experience with strong, intelligent breeds and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time but from home 4 out of 5 days a week, which gives me flexibility and availability during the day. I’m available for drop-in visits between 11:30 AM–1:00 PM and after 5:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m happy to coordinate care that fits your pet’s schedule. Since I’m home most days, I can provide attentive, consistent care and timely check-ins. I take safety, trust, and respect for your home very seriously. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, keep food and medications exactly as directed, and monitor for any changes in behavior or health.

About: My 7+ years of experience began with a dedicated focus on providing compassionate care for the pets of my family and friends. This has given me an intimate understanding of the trust required to be a great pet sitter. Provided regular, energetic walks to ensure physical and mental stimulation. Organized park visits for safe socialization and off-leash play in designated areas, Offered comprehensive overnight care, maintaining pets' routines and providing a sense of comfort while their owners were away. As a stay-at-home mom with an 8-month-old, my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pet's needs. I am able to provide a constant, watchful presence, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have pets of my own, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding a caregiver who will treat your furry family member with the same love and care you do. Please know that having my child with me will not hinder my ability to provide your pet with all the care and attention they need. My primary focus is on your pet. My day is structured around their feeding schedule, walk times, and playtime. My baby is in a carrier or stroller during walks, allowing me to fully focus on your pet's safety and well-being. During feeding and playtime, I use a playpen or a secure area to ensure my baby is safe and my hands are free to give your pet my undivided attention. To ensure both your pet's and my child's safety, I can ensure they have separate spaces. My child will be in a secure playpen, stroller, or carrier in a designated area of the home while your pet and I are playing, feeding, or training.

“Alex is so helpful with walking my dog Zola while I work 12 hr shifts. She is very communicative about everything that happens during the walk and sends lots of great pictures! She spends the whole time with my dog, and Zola is always fulfilled when I come home!”

About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! I work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00, however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I live on a farm with a variety of different animals inside and outside of the home. I am a single mom so my availability is flexible. I have other animals of my own that are here as well that they would have to play with or be secluded whatever they wanted or need. All animals are welcome in the house. I live on a large amount of land where they would be free to roam wherever with supervision. Included I do have an air conditioned tiny home that is welcome to them as well.

About: Hi there! My name is Bri, and I’m a passionate animal lover with 5 years of experience taking care of pets. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, or just a bit of extra love and attention while you're away, I'm here to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I’m trustworthy, reliable, and committed to providing top-notch care for your furry friends. I understand how important pets are, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I offer services including daily walks, play sessions and feeding. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pet to discuss how I can help! I am currently a full-time college student, attending classes Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and am available to provide pet care in the afternoons and evenings during the week. I also have full availability from Friday through Sunday, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. I do not currently offer boarding services; however, when I do, pets will be welcomed into a safe and comfortable environment. I have a large, fully fenced yard, and my dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and enjoy interacting and playing with other dogs.

“Denise is fantastic and Bud looks forward to his walks with her. He is a country dog who moved to the city, and she is helping him acclimate to the new sights, smells and noises - and a much shorter leash. Thank you, Denise!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Fur babies have a special place in my heart and I will take the best of care of any kind of fur baby. I currently have a two golden doodles(<1), an Australian Shepard(2), miniature Aussie(12) and a cat(13) I rescued from the humane society. I currently work 3 days a week and attend college. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than the days I work from 9 to 6:30. I am available on those days before 9 and after 6:30. I live in a home with a fenced in yard and three large dogs. The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.
