“Emalee did everything as instructed. I only wish she mentioned the smell of uneaten food rotting in the kitchen trash can, so it could have been properly disposed of outside.”


About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.

“Emma was the absolute best! She took care of our 19-yo cat as if she was her own! Our Gary missed us for sure but Emma made that missing us a little less with her care for her. I’m so incredibly thankful to her and would trust her every single time to watch our sweet girl. Thank you again, Emma.”


About: Hello, my name is Tori I am 21 years old and looking to take care of your pets. I grew up on a farm for 10 years so I have experiences with all animals. I am comfortable administering medication/injections. I am experienced in wound care and injured animals. I also uncomfortable with reptiles I own a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko and a snake I worked at a small local reptile store for two years. I also have two dogs and two cats of my own. One of my favorite activities is to take my dogs for a walk And throw their ball for them. I am comfortable with small overnight stays, drop in visits and daily walking. I hope you will consider me for your pets care! I work as a waitress about three days a week fairly short shifts usually ranging between 11 AM to 5 PM or 4 PM to 8 PM I am open to overnight stays and drop in visits. I am an animal lover, so they will get loved the same way. I would love mine. I’m very calm so nervous dogs or cats will not be bothered by me.

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 3 years. This consists of feeding, walking, and overall just playing with dogs, cats, guinea pigs. I also have experience feeding dogs meds as needed. I currently do not work and am trying to save up for college and my vacation trip! So my schedule is clear for anyone who needs me. I care for pets like they are my own. I love animals so I treat them very nicely and with respect. I have never had an animal that I didn’t get along with.

About: I’ve had animals since I could remember! I went to college for Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I also have two dogs that loves to play with other dogs! I’m going to nursing school so I am almost always home! I’m sure your pet will have so much fun at my house with Sophie and Olive. You won’t have to worry about your animal getting into anything. I would prefer a cage be brought for when my boyfriend and I are not home, I do not want them getting into something they shouldn’t, but if not I also have a camera in the main room of the house to spy on them hehe! Late pick up fee: if 2-8hr late I charge 50% of daily rate, more than 8hr late will be charged the daily rate. After 8pm pickup will be charged $20, unless stated at time of original booking. Also if your dog jumps fences this is not the place to book! I have a 3.5ft and 4ft fencing on majority of the yard. My backyard has some 6ft fencing as well. Currently staying at home while in school so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! They can get water and potty breaks whenever needed. I have a fully fenced yard, front and back, as well as two very friendly and energetic pups to play with. Your pup will definitely be worn out!

“Taylor is exceptional and we are blessed to have her. Ollie loves her and understood us when we said that Taylor is coming - he jumped up at the window to see.! Heartwarming for us to see.”


About: Tyson was my first dog I got when I turned 17. We traveled everywhere together & he showed me how loving an animal can truly be. I am the first one my friends call to watch their animals. I absolutely love taking them on walks & I will love your fur baby like my own. I am currently working part time. I usually work around four to five days a week. And Im usually off Saturdays thru Mondays. Give or take I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

About: I am an animal science student with a concentration in animal behavior and wellbeing. In the agricultural community, I raised and showed an award winning rabbit. Last semester, I was an animal care intern at Columbian Park Zoo. I have nearly a decade experience working in pet care. In addition, my family fosters animals. I am seeking employment in pet care to fill my spare time with a furry companion. I have a flexible schedule in the morning and evening during the week. I am available Thursday-Sunday for weekend stays. When I was in third grade, my family opened our home to foster animals. Throughout the last 11 years, we have cared for animals with parvo, double ear infections, malnourishment, etc. The foster organization trusts us to nourish these animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes. When I visit client homes, I spend quality time with animals providing them with enrichment. I pride myself on reliability, my clients trust and depend on me to care for their beloved pets. In addition to my experiences, my coursework focuses on animal behavior and wellbeing which helps enhance my services.

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of three years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine since I work part-time and take all my university classes online. This gives me the flexibility to schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins without conflicts. I can easily adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

“Trinity was a life saver. Our house-sitter left early and locked one of our cats in the room and trinity was able to come over for a drop in last minute. She cared for our cats, sent lots of pictures and gave them all the love that we weren't able to while away. We weren't able to meet and greet before hand but during the conversation she just made us feel like she had our home and cats in our best interest! Definitely booking her for regular drop ins.”
