About: I have had dogs in my home since I was eight, and have been looking after others dogs for a few years now. I have worked with all sizes and breeds, due to being employed at a Veterinary Clinic. Friends and family have always trusted me to look after their dogs for the day, weekend, or even week long trips. I am a current student and working part-time as well. Although, I have more than enough time in the evenings and weekends to look after you pets. When taking care of others dogs for them, I normally go and feed and water their dogs at the time of their normal feeding and go walk them and stop in to play for a while about 3-4 times a day. I have also stayed in home with pets overnight at their home if needed as well.

Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets when they’re away, and I treat each one like my own. I’m dependable, gentle, and excited to build lasting connections with both pets and their people.the Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time and take some classes, but I manage my schedule well and always make time for animals. I’m available for pet care several days in a row and can accommodate overnight stays as well. Whether it’s quick check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping a pet company, I make sure each visit is focused and meaningful. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing. I don’t offer care in my own home, but when I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I respect the space, keep things clean, and give pets lots of attention—whether that’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to keep things as stress-free and consistent as possible while their owners are away.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and loving pet sitter with a flexible schedule. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have experience taking care of blind/deaf dogs from young to old and I treat every pet like family. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just company, I’m here to help! I'm in grad school and most of my classes are online or a few hours in the evening 1-2x a week. I have the freedom to hang out or drop in every few hours, whichever works best for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, habits, and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I treat the home with the same respect I’d expect in return - following instructions closely, keeping things clean, and ensuring doors, gates, and feeding routines are handled properly. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible for both pets and their people.

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life. They bring so much joy! They are family. I recently lost my sweet little girl. She was 17. I’m currently working from home and have the time and ability to Pup Sit for your fur baby. I know how important it is to have someone give the best care and love while you are away. To be able to put your mind at ease and not worry. I get it. I had only one special lady watch my little girl. My home or yours. Whichever you feel would be more comfortable for your sweet furry family member. Any special requests, no problem. I can accommodate.
About: I love all the animals! I’ve had all size dogs from 10 pounds to 200 pounds! I currently have a St Bernard , Hound mix and Cattle Dog. Stubborn, playful or energetic, I love time with them all. I also have experience with cats, we currently have a Himalayan, a domestic long hair and a domestic short hair. And don’t forgot about the Guinea Pigs, Rats and Hamsters that need food and water and attention too! Farm animals? Love them too!! I currently have a Horse, Pony, goats, chickens and ducks I work part time and would enjoy breaking up my time waiting for my kids to finish activities by spending time with other fur babies I am comfortable with all size animals, with crating and not crating. I love to spend time with animals playing and going on walks... and a good little snuggle never hurts
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, etc. I have a background in animal 4H and am still a club advisor. I work night shift with fluctuating days off but am able to fit pet care into my day after work and before I go into work. I can take care of your animals in your home and flex my schedule to best meet your needs. I am an active person and can walk dogs, clean litter boxes and provide food and water.
About: I’ve taken care of pets basically my entire life, there wasn’t a time in my life where my family didn’t have a dog or cat. To me animals are just like family! I’m not currently working for anyone else, so all my time and attention will be going into your pets! At this point I my life, taking care of animals is just second nature to me. I believe that no two pets are the same, every animal has different needs and i strive to take care of each animal the way that works for them.
About: Growing up I always had dogs. They were always considered another member of our family. We always trained our own puppies. I've taken care of family members dogs before and puppy sitted in the past. I am a dog mom of two dogs currently. I love dogs and their unique personalities. I love to be outdoors so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available evenings during the week and all day on Friday through Sunday. But im always flexible so just let me know what you need and we can work things out to fit your pets needs. Making them feel at home and loved will be my number one priority. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies that will keep your dogs company. Or I can easily crate your dog if needed or I can separate them from my fur babies in another fenced in area. Whatever you prefer I can arrange.

Kendall F.
“I’ve known Kendall for a couple of years now, and during this time she has watched my family’s dog and my own personal dog a handful of times. I own a Pomeranian named Tom and my family owns a Chihuahua named Elly. Both of these dogs are highly energetic and need a good amount of attention from whoever is caring for them. While looking for someone to watch our dogs this was our biggest concern, but Kendall has exceeded mine and my family’s expectations every time. She is very loving and caring towards dogs and animals. She goes above and beyond every time to make sure the dogs are well fed, walked, loved, etc. I highly recommend Kendall if you are looking for someone to care/animal-sit for your pet. She takes great care of them and overall just does an amazing job.”
