About: I have over 30 years of experience taking care of a variety of animals including: dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, snakes, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have raised animals from birth up until their assent to heaven. I work for Uber, so I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to fit your needs. I have two dogs myself, and while they come first, I have plenty of time and love to give. I don't usually house sit for more than 4 days at a time unless special arrangements are made. I am a very clean and trustworthy person and your animal family member will always be in a safe and loving environment. I want every animal to get their exercise, so if that's a walk or just playing I will make sure they do so in the most fun way possible.
About: Hi! I am a dependable and active dog lover who treats every pet like they are my own. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what makes yours happy, comfortable, and safe. What I offer: a structured day with playtime and mental stimulation, consistent routines and plenty of attention and supervision. My goal is simple: a stress free experience for you and a great time for your pet. I am currently semi retired. I have lots of time to spend loving on your pet. Walks and playtime are a must not squeezed in. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, so I focus on making both you and your pet feel completely comfortable.
About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll still be free to care for your pups! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.
About: I am privately insured for your peace of mind! I have been volunteering at animal rescues since 2016 and I used to be kennel tech. I am very knowledgable and experienced with geriatric and special needs dogs. I also have experience working with exotic animals! I currently only board pets under 40lb. I am pet CPR Certified through Recovery Initiative. I am privately insured through PCI. Boarding: I mostly work morning weekend shifts, my mom and I live together and she only works Monday thru Thursday. There is brief periods where we leave the house to do errands but the pets usually have less then 3 hours of alone time per day. I am currently not offering in house sitting for large dogs, I have 3 dogs that get along well with small dogs. My animals get all the love and have a huge yard for play time.

“We love Crystal! She is very consistent and reliable which is huge to us. We work in healthcare so we need someone we can trust to let our dog at since we can’t come home. We will definitely continue to use her in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always loved watching other people’s pets when needed growing up. I have trained a few dogs to sit, stay, paw, and high five! I’m currently in college. I finish my bachelors this December and then I will be going for my masters. I do have a full time job but I have made a goal to pay off my college debt before I graduate. My schedule is flexible. For in house pet sitting for more than a couple of days I will need notice. I cannot watch pets in my home as I live in an apartment and have two furry critters of my own. If I am not in house pet sitting, I will stop by every two to four hours and to love on you baby and let them out.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the extra love and attention I give to every visit. I provide personalized pet report cards, so you know exactly how your furry friend did while you were away—complete with updates on playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. And of course, I never arrive empty-handed—treats are always on hand (with your permission!) to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. It’s not just sitting—it’s care you and your pet can feel good about. I am currently not enrolled in classes, so I have full availability at the moment. However, I will begin attending college classes in the mornings starting this summer. In my care, pets receive attention, comfort, and safety. I maintain their usual routine with plenty of playtime, fresh food, and clean litter or bedding. I provide daily updates and personalized report cards, so owners know exactly how their pets are doing. Whether it’s drop ins or overnight, your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority. For Doggy Day Care, I cannot have a pet in my house due to living with others who have allergies. For specifically this job, I would do like a Doggy Day Out instead. So going to a park or beach and getting a pup cup or treat for the pet.
About: I’ve grown up around pets for most of my life, my family always had at least one dog and multiple cats around, as well as exotic ones like birds. As such I was raised to love and care for pets, and currently my family has a dog and 4 cats, and I myself have a tarantula in my personal care. I’m a full time student taking 16 credit hours, but my classes have multiple hours between them, so I’m able to leave campus and visit clients homes to ensure everyone is doing ok and make sure they get the care and attention they deserve :) For all pets I keep them within my sight and paying attention to what they’re doing to make sure everything is going ok, while working on the homework for school that I’ve been assigned very close by. But I make sure that dogs would get exercise every day or more if desired, and that cats receive plenty of affection as well.
About: I’ve been a vet tech, a zookeeper, and have been caring for animals almost all my life. I went to school for wildlife ecology, and I am trained in home introduction techniques. I’m happy to care for any special needs or particular requests you have to make your pet’s as comfortable as possible during their stay! Looking forward to caring for your furry family members soon. I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.
About: I love animals as if they were my own children. I promise to treat your furbabies as you would want them to be and as if they were my own. I send lots of photos as well, and will keep you updated on everything they're doing while you're away. I am a full time college student, and I work part time. I only work a couple of days a week, and my classes are never longer than an hour and fifteen minutes. My schedule is extremely flexible. I promise to treat your home and furbabies with the upmost respect. Staying in a clients home is a delicate task, which requires respect and trust. Taking care of animals is something that requires the same dedication that I put into my schoolwork, and is a serious responsibility.
About: I became a dog owner about 6 years ago, and as well as being a mother to 3, I’ve grown a passion for fur babies of all kinds and sizes of course. I’ve personally raised our dogs from puppies, trained with them, walked and studied them to learn what works best for them and their best life. I’m currently at home full time, so I have all the time and energy to focus on caring for your pet. Including walks and adventures in the backyard. Our neighborhood is very quiet, not a lot of busy street traffic which allows for peaceful walks. Our backyard is fenced and spacious for outdoor relaxing. There’s also an outdoor kennel we have set up with secure access and a video camera to access checking in at anytime!

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.
About: I have always had dogs growing up so I learned pretty early how to care for them. I was always in charge of walking them.
