Our dog gets very nervous being with new people, but he took to Maeve right away! She spent lots of snuggle time with him and we really appreciated her attentiveness and reliability. And he’s happy to have a new friend!

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and always will be. Animals are my passion and love to help them out whenever I can. I have been walking dogs since the age of 15. I also love to jog and bike ride with dogs. I always make sure to carry toys and treats with me to make the dog's experience just as enjoyable! I currently have two dogs of my own around 60 lbs each. One of my dogs is a high anxiety, high energy pup. Working with her has been a challenge but has only furthered my love and knowledge for dogs. If you have any questions please message me anytime! I am available when you are. I own two dogs of my own as well as a ferret. Pet care is part of my routine every day, all day. Pets are a full time job and I enjoy the work. I currently work full time from home but will be able to accommodate your pet needs.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to detail. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and ability to connect with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I have experience with daily care, walking, playtime, administering medication, and keeping routines consistent, especially important for dogs who need extra reassurance. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior who needs gentler care, I adjust to their needs and always put their comfort and safety first. I’m available Wednesday through Friday as well as Saturday mornings/afternoon. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule outside of those days to meet your needs. I provide attentive and reliable care in your home, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to exercise and playtime—to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I make sure your home is secure during visits and treat your space with respect. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to me, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. So, I will be available weekends and some weekdays! And of course I always try to keep my schedule updated! I understand how frightening it could be for your pet to see a new person coming to your home. I can assure you, I will give them time to adjust and sniff. Then of course I can give them love!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs since I was 14. I was a free-lance dog walker for my neighborhood so I’ve had plenty of experience with many kinds of dogs! I work part-time so I’ll be able to take care of your pups as long as I’m not working. I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I enjoy being active. I have plenty of toys to keep your pups busy as well as my own dog, Tucker, to keep them company! I will play with them and give them as much attention and love as I can.

About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.

About: I have been taking care of pets, including dogs, cats, and even parrots, since I was a tween! I have a lot of experience taking care of elderly and sick pets and have medical training from my time in the US Air Force, and can give medications orally, dermally, or by injection. I have loved animals since I was a kid, went on to get a PhD in parrot ecology, and now work as a Wildlife Biologist! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate most people's needs. I am extremely flexible and willing to work with folks to ensure their pets' needs are covered. I believe open communication and clear expectations are key to making sure everyone's needs are met. I will work with you and your pets to ensure their schedules and needs are fully met in your home.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and always have gravitated towards animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with dogs (from dachshunds to labs) but have watched cats from time to time as well. I will do everything in my power to give your pet the best care possible. I have experience with long/short walks, play time (ball throwing etc), cleaning up after animals, and having patience with them! I am available most afternoons after 1pm during the week until 9pm. In terms of weekends, I have free time with notice (3 days notice), mornings/afternoons/nights. I am also willing to work with you if these times do not work. I consider pets to be apart of the family. I have always treated my pets with respect, along with asserting dominance as I am the owner. I always show my love and affection while making sure they know I am in charge.

About: I’ve cared for many different animals throughout my life, including mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family. I have experience with overnight sitting in the pet’s home. I also have experience caring for senior and special needs animals. I spent 6 months as a volunteer at a vet clinic assisting with exams and surgical procedures, and I am currently exploring career paths in animal sciences and wildlife rehabilitation. I have lots of availability to care for your fur babies! I work part-time as a waitress while exploring different careers in the field of animal behavior and sciences. I have the flexibility to accommodate to your schedule and needs. I can be available on most weekends and holidays. I also accept same-day bookings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home where they feel most comfortable. As well as walking in areas they are familiar with. I always make sure to maintain pet safety in the home such as keeping doors/windows/gates shut and keeping hazardous items and toxic plants out of reach or locked away.

About: Hello friends! My name is Londiwe I'm 19f I recently graduated high school and am excited to embark on a career in pet care. I love both dogs and cats! I'm experienced with taking care of cats, I had a cat for 4 years so i'm familiar with cleaning the litter box, feeding, washing, and playing with cats. As for dogs i'm familiar with them in the sense of being around them through friends/family and I adore dogs. When I was really young i would go to a pet store where you could see or play with puppies and I loved it. I'm aware also with dogs that if I were to pet sit I would have to make sure they're taken care of like: fed, played with, and in their cage whenever the client says they're suppose to be. I also provide unlimited cuddles/pets/love for both dogs and cats. :) I'm currently free to dog walk or petsit any day of the week and if not then I would most certainly let the client know beforehand and try to be flexible with my schedule. The services I offer are dog walking and pet sitting in the clients home. I currently don't have any pets but if I were to, I would feed and play with the dog or cat in question and clean up after any mess they may make and basically treat them as family.

About: Cats and dogs have always been a big part of my life! Their happiness is a huge priority and I enjoy helping them life a happy and save life. I believe our pets are an extension of our family and should be treated as such (or better)!! I have helped countless friends and family with their pets when they needed an extra hand! I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to accommodate helping others out with their pets needs when the owners are not able too. I currently have a good boy (dog) of my own and will not watch additional pets in my home cause we are renovating and do not feel comfortable with an unknown dog in the house.
