She was a great person to come see my cats. I'd call myself and pets on the higher maintenance type of situation and she was able to hand it all like a champ. She had to medicate 2 of them and was successful, spending how ever much time she needed to get them to take their meds. Very communicative and able to follow directions!

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have cared for them since they were puppies until their transition to the rainbow bridge. I love meeting other animals and hearing their stories. I would care for your pets like they were mine. I am currently off work and have many hours in the day to care for your four-legged family members. I could do daily or twice a day walking as needed. I have a fenced in yard that my 5 dogs enjoy. I have 2 dogs that free roam at home. My 2 boys are big barkers, but are dog friendly. I have the other two kenneled due to bad behaviors and the other dog is having mobility issues and I try to keep her safe in the kennel.

About: I have always loved to pet sit! I started out around 12 years old helping my older sisters watch our neighbors, friends, and family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, but have a soft spot in my heart for the little pups. I also have some experience with pet medication, and specific routines. I love taking the time to learn how you and your pets do things so they feel cared for. Ultimately, I just want people to know their pets are in good hands while they’re away! I am currently attending a local college, and live at home! This allows for a more flexible daily schedule, and I enjoy getting to help out when time allows! When caring for pets in my clients homes, one of my main priorities is making sure both my client and their pet feel safe! I am mindful of all instructions I am given and make sure to double check on doors, collars, leashes, medication instructions and more. If you’re ever worried about something, just let me know and I’d love to work through things with you!

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

She is extremely attentive and the dogs immediately loved her. Our cat is usually very shy and will not interact but Jolee was able to help her come out of her shell!

Theodore is the best pet sitter. We have cats with some ridiculous idiosyncrasies and he just goes with the flow. The cats are always well taken care of, energetic, and happy when we return home. Highly recommend!

About: Hi, my name is Justine! I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience house sitting, walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I have experience house-sitting for puppies through senior dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my home from a very young age. I understand the anxiety of having to leave your pet for too long or not wanting to board them, so I enjoy helping people not have to worry about that. Let me know how I can help! I currently work-time. I have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home 2 days a week and in office the other 3. I am available mornings, nights, and mid-day when I am working from home. I prefer to watch dogs in their own home setting. This allows them to remain comfortable and not be stressed by a new environment. This way they can also remain as close to their usual schedules as possible.

About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.

About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.

About: My love for animals runs deep in my core! I can get along with any type of critter, and am very willing to taking care of pets who may have special needs. I’ve grown up in a household that has at least 3 pets at a time in it, and I used to work on a warm with tons of different animals! I’m very lucky to have so many pets in my life b Pet care is something I do on the daily, considering that I have 4 dogs at my house, all of which possessing their own quirks and personality traits. Taking the pets out, feeding the pets, and just spending quality time with them is a regular part of my routine. I care for pets very attentively, making sure to feed them at the desired time, play with them as need be, and take them on walks when/where they need to go!

About: I’ve had a golden retriever named Molly since I was in 3rd grade. I’ve always loved spending time with her. When I was little I was to young to work at my local animal shelter, so instead I would do chores around the house to earn money to buy myself fabric. I would use this fabric to make blankets to donate to the shelter because I wanted to help in any way to make those animals feel loved. I also would take my neighbors dogs for walks and many of the people who I dog walked for would rely on me to come over and take care of them while they were away! I currently work part time, so I can walk dogs anytime after 2pm! On weekends I am completely free to walk dogs at any time! I care for my dog Molly by taking her out to the dog park every weekend and we even go on hikes! I take her to PetSmart every now and then to treat her to a brand new toy :)
