About: I've been both a long term and short term pet sitter for both dog and cats. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I do require meeting your precious pooch before accepting an assignment. My availability varies from week to week as a substitute teacher. I would love to drop by to make sure your friend is well-fed, walked, and relieved. I am available seven days a week for overnight stays to ensure your baby is not alone. I do require that I meet your pet before overnight stays. I like to assess our friends personality and hear about their unique needs and routine.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. Now I have 3 cats, 1 white German shepherd, and also a baby hamster. I’ve walked my neighbors dogs since I was 12 up until 16 when I moved. I also potty trained and taught my pets tricks by myself. Since I live in a dorm now I only have my cat and hamster with me. My dog is being taken care of by my parents. But pet care is a daily thing for me I can do anything you need and ask of me, from walking them to keeping them active and feeding them. I’m also available to accompany them overnight at your house.
“Francesca was amazing! She kept us updated with photos and messages the entire time we were out. Sam loves her, and definitely enjoyed going on walks with her. 100% recommended!”
About: I am very reliable and have a ton of experience with different dogs. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare and I am also very experienced with administering medications to animals. I recently became a stay at home mom since my son is starting kindergarten soon so my schedule is a lot more open now! ❤️ Your pets deserve all the attention and the care they need! I will follow all your instructions as given for your pet and or your home if you wish to have any messes cleaned up while on site.
About: With over three years of experience as a kennel technician, I bring hands-on knowledge and a deep love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with all breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to extra-large Cane Corsos and everything in between. I’m experienced in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and providing safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs extra snuggles, structure, or space, I’m here to give them the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Although I work a part-time job, I prioritize making sure every pet’s needs are fully met. I understand how important it is that dogs aren’t cooped up for hours at a time—they need attention, bathroom breaks, exercise, and love throughout the day. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I’m available for timely feedings, walks, and playtime, and I’m always committed to giving your dog the care and companionship they deserve, no matter what. Dogs truly are my heart—mine are my children and my number one priority every single day. When I care for pets in my home, they’re treated like family. I create a calm, cozy, and safe environment where each dog gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Whether it’s belly rubs on the couch, a walk around the block, or just relaxing in the sun, I make sure every pup feels at home and cared for. Your dog will be welcomed with open arms (and maybe a few treats too)!
About: Ever since I was a baby I’ve always had one or 2 dogs in my household. So I know the feeling of leaving on vacation and trusting someone with your furry family member(s). Well good thing that person can be me! I understand how important it is to give all the love and care to pets while their family is away. One of my favorite activity is walking to get myself and your furry friend some exercise! I currently work as part time as a teacher assistant. I only work 5 hours a day and have weekends off. My day is usually over around 1:45pm. When the summer starts I work at a summer camp Monday through Friday with hours of 7:30am to 3:30pm. Whenever I pet sit I make sure to follow the same routine so the furry friends aren’t thrown off in anyway. I also do anything it takes to keep your furry family members comfortable and safe.
About: I really love animals, big and small, long and short haired, high energy and low energy, cats, dogs, reptiles and all. Whatever friend you have, I am more than glad to help you make sure they are given the time and love they deserve. I am off for the summer and very excited to spend time with your loved pets. I should be free during the week days in the summer. If you go on vacation or want to do something away from the house, you can be sure your pets will still be loved on and taken well care of. I will keep pets in my sight, and tend to their needs and wants to the best of my ability. I will make sure they have been fed, take walks, bathroom breaks, and are given lots of love.

About: Hi! I'm Michelle. I have over 29 years of experience in the field of veterinarian medicine, training and behavior modification. We offer overnight boarding as well as daycare for cats, dogs, and other pets. To prevent the spread of illness, we require that all pups be up to date on Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough) and DHPP (parvo). In addition, cats should be current on Rabies and FeLv. Please send vaccine records to records@rufflanding (.com) We also ask that you provide your pets regular food, as sudden diet changes can upset their tummy. We have everything else they could possibly need! Our client service hours are: M-F 8-10AM & 3-6PM Sat & Sun 8-10AM We offer: Socialization, walks, friendly playmates, trips to the dog park if permitted, medication administration, constant potty breaks, photos and baths (upon request), and tons of affection! It's the next best thing to being home! Petcare is my full time business. I work from home sitting and boarding as well as hosting foster pets occasionally. Aside from dropping in on established pets or taking them on walks, I am home full time. We have a securely fenced yard and pets are constantly supervised when outside. We take potty breaks every 2 hours. We schedule socialization, enrichment and playtime activities to keep them busy and entertained.
