About: I love dogs of all ages young and old. I have had dogs and loved them my whole life. We have a jack russle named Indy who loves to hike and go on adventures with us. He is very friendly and loves other dogs and cats. He's the coolest calmest jack you'll ever meet. I am currently a homeschool Mama. So I am here full time. I have one dog and two cats. All very friendly and welcoming to other animals. I have time to take care of and spend time with your pet. I have a small fenced in yard for smaller dogs. I also have a very friendly small jack russle named Indy to keep your pet company. We go on walks and have lots of play time and rest time. I have children who are also pet lovers.

About: I’ve helped take care of dogs for many years from the family dogs, families dogs, and friends dogs. I will feed your dogs accordingly to your schedule and instructions I’m able to take them on walks around the neighborhood or let them out in your fenced in yard. Playing with them is always apart of the plan. I’m currently available full time during the days Monday-Friday so I have the full week and weekend to give my full undivided attention to your fur babies and make sure they have the best time while you are away. I would take care of your animals however you prefer , If you have a fenced in yard I would let them out back. Depending how active the dog is i would take them on 1-2 walks throughout the day. I would make sure they have food/water to eat.

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!

About: Hello! My name is Bianca. I have always loved and had a connection to all sorts of animals. I have nearly 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rodents. I currently have 2 fur babies (Oden & Luna), a crested gecko named Biscotti, and a tree frog named Ice Ferg Slim. I currently have a remote job where I make my own hours, this allows me the flexibility to care for your pet without rushing. I can be available as early as 6am or as late as 9pm. Don't worry about my babies, my fiancé works from home full time as well so they are never without love and care! When visiting your home, I will be sure to follow any provided instructions. For your cats, I can provide drop-in food and water, play time, and cuddles (if your cat likes). For your dogs, I am comfortable with feeding and giving clean water, providing exercise and/or playing their favorite games, brushing, cleaning off paws, using a crate, or any other requests. I am very comfortable with walking/playing with big dogs too (rottweilers are my fav)! While taking care of your baby, I will treat them as my own and will ensure that their environment is clean, safe and secure after each visit.

Ada stayed overnight at my house with Bailey. She did an excellent job. Bailey loved her. She walked Bailey in the neighborhood and cuddled with her...No wonder Bailey loves her. She also left my house very nice and clean after staying there for 5 days. I will definitely call her again when Bailey needs a sitter.

Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!

About: I’ve taken care of many pets before including dogs, cats, and birds. I love animals and have 2 cats of my own. I have also house/pet sit for my family and many family friends in the neighborhood I grew up in. I’m currently doing school and working a part time job, however my schedule is very flexible outside of that, I usually have free time in the mornings and evenings I have 2 cats and play with them every day, they are indoor cats but love going outside. When I dog sit for my family and family friends, they let me stay at their house most of the time. I take the dog(s) on long walks (if needed) 3/4 times a day and spend as much time as I can with them. I never put the dog(s) in their crates when I’m at the house and usually let the dog(s) sleep with me.

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in structured, multi-dog environments, including high-energy and working breeds. I currently manage a multi-dog household and am actively involved in dog sports and conformation, which has given me a strong understanding of routine, behavior, conditioning, and proper handling. I am comfortable working with: • High-energy and active breeds • Puppies needing structure and consistency • Senior and special needs dogs • Multi-dog households • Dogs requiring medication My care style focuses on structure, safety, and clear communication. Dogs in my care receive consistent routines, appropriate exercise, and calm, confident handling—not just supervision. I am best suited for clients who value reliable, knowledgeable care and want their dogs maintained in a structured environment while they are away. Pet care is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to ensure they receive timely walks, feeding, exercise, and attention. I maintain reliable availability for bookings while ensuring each dog receives focused, individualized care and a consistent routine. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication in every home I enter. I follow each dogs routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and exercise needs. Dogs are always handled securely on leash unless otherwise specified, and I am attentive to environment, behavior, and stress signals. My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent, and safe environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away.

Chelsea is an amazing and professional dog sitter. She made the extra effort to gain our rescue dog’s trust before we left town with get to know visits. While we were gone she gave regular updates and photos. I always felt confident and secure leaving our dogs in her care. She is transparent and trustworthy. My dogs were secure and happy on our return.

About: I've grown up caring for a variety of animals in my home as well as working with various shelters like RSPCA and BARK over the years. I love all creatures and adore catering to each animal. I value unique care based on each fur baby's personality and needs. My schedule is quite flexible currently! I can take same day bookings. Currently, I work with animals in between talent bookings as a SAG actress. I'm basically a stay at home mom who loves fur babies. In my own home I am on the third floor so, walking and potty breaks are around my complex. Theyre strict about breeds here unfortunately, but that also limits other dog exposure(if your doggie baby happens to not enjoy other dogs). I do currently have one 2 year old calico cat in home. She is shy and sweet. I additionally have a son who is happy to have fur baby guests and responsible about pet safety as well.
