About: I’v taken care of dogs since I was old enough to be responsible for them, around age 12. I was in charge of feeding our family dogs, walking them, and exercising them through intentional playtime. We had 3 dogs then, and now we own two. I enjoy going on long walks and hikes, and often take my dogs on hikes. I also enjoy a casual run, and I am happy to take dogs on runs as well! I’m currently a student, with long openings between classes. I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your lovely pets! I’m especially free on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am happy to walk or run your pet! I also offer pet-sitting. As a responsible student, with several years of families trusting me with babysitting, I can give you confidence that your home and pet will be cared for as if they were my own.

Ella was amazing. She took my booking last minute and responded quickly. Ella showed up on time and seemed eager to meet our boys. You can tell Ella genuinely loves animals. Ella made us feel comfortable leaving the boys behind in her care. We came home to happy kids and the house just the way we left it. Ella kept in contact during her stay and sent us pictures and updates often. I would definitely book Ella again! Highly recommended!

Mary was wonderful in so many ways. Because of the circumstances, I had to make arrangements on short notice. Mary came through and took such great care for 3 dogs, one of whom is a sometimes rambunctious youngster. Everything went so well, I highly recommend Mary.

About: I’ve recently started to pet sit/house sit for my friends and their families for the past year. That pool of friends/family has continued to grow because of my attention to detail, eagerness, and flexibility to what you and your pet need! :) I am a teacher, so while I am gone most of the day, my early morning and entire evening can be dedicated to making sure your pet is getting what they need! When I am pet sitting, I make sure to place that commitment over other things to make sure your pet’s needs are being met! I am willing/able to maintain any routine you currently have with your pet! I am also known to clean and remake the bed before I leave, as well as throw in other additional cleaning. Gotta leave spaces better than you found them! ;)

About: Since I could walk, I’ve had animals in my life. I’ve helped care for animals of all kinds ranging from fish, cats and dogs to chickens and horses! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am currently off work and have open availability to take care of your furry friend(s)! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I will get back to you ASAP! Currently, I have 3 cats, a Chihuahua and a 30 gallon fish tank. As far as my cats go, I feed them canned food and have dry food out regularly. They have yearly vet visits and I keep them up-to-date on boosters. My cats are enriched with cuddles, playtime and scratchers in multiple places throughout my place. They love to be brushed often as well. My dog, Butterball, has his nails filed as often as needed and he loves cuddles under the blanket while watching tv. He goes outside on a lead multiple times a day. My fish tank is cleaned and maintained biweekly. I also always have spring water on hand to keep water levels appropriate.

I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

About: I've had pets my whole life and make it my goal to make animals feel loved. I have 2 cats of my own currently but grew up taking care of big dogs. I have plenty of free time and most of the time you'll find me laying in bed with my cats. My pets are my whole world and I work hard to make them feel loved. I provide them with love, food and water, bathroom needs, and entertainment. When I'm somewhere new, you'll find me looking for the nearest animal to pet.

About: My family has had dogs my whole life. Currently I have a niece (goldendoodle) and nephew (labradoodle), but I miss my son (staffordshire) every day. I am active at my local humane society and I'm ready to care for your furry family member as well. I currently have a part-time job, so my availability is very flexible and can be easily adjusted to accommodate pet care. I look forward to adding your dog to my schedule! I live very close to my local park, so it is a frequent stop when I care for dogs. Additionally, I prioritize play and indoor enrichment if weather isn't conducive to a safe walk.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Along with dogs I’ve been around multiple farm animals. I’d love to care for your furry friends just as much as mine!! I work part time while attending school online. My schedule is very open. I would be able to go every morning and evening. I can offer multiple different services and schedules. I have the ability to let dogs roam in the rural area I live in. I have crates available if need. I also have a 6 year old dog of my own. He gets along really well with other dogs but I would be able to keep the dogs separate if needed.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. I previously cared for an elderly woman’s boxer for two years, and I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. I’m currently in college, so my availability varies depending on my class schedule, but when I’m with your pet, they’ll receive my full attention and care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents. I love routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. Your pet will receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection while you’re away. I’m attentive to individual needs and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own 🤍🐾 I'm a stay at home mom so I have tons of availability. I'm enrolled in school but it's online so I'll have all the time for your babies! I live in an apartment so I don't have a fenced in yard, but we have PLENTY of yard to burn energy in. I love going for walks and playing catch with the fur babies so they will have plenty of outside time. If they're couch potatoes I allow animals on all furniture and I love the cuddles they give. Anything you want, will be done!
