About: I’m an attentive, patient, and genuinely dog-loving sitter who understands that every pup has their own routines.I’m comfortable with all kinds of care including structured playtime, feeding routines and keeping their environment clean and calm. What sets me apart is my reliability, my calm demeanor, and my genuine passion for giving dogs a positive, stress-free experience while you're away. Being a cat parent, pet care fits into my daily routine like an intergral part. I have a full-time job but I can cater to after hours services. I'm available for weekends and holidays as well. I will prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I pay attention to keep their environment calm and clean, will follow your instructions closely, and treat your home and pet with the same respect I do with mine own. You can trust that your pet is in caring, responsible hands.

Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

About: I have owned several pets in my life, dogs and cats. I have ample experience in caring for and raising said animals. I specifically have a cat currently, Autumn, who I found as a stray in the woods as a kitten and raised her to a healthy state. I am currently working a 4-10's schedule with flexible days. So long as I have two weeks in advance, any day should be okay. On those off days, I mostly stay at home, so your animals will receive plenty of care. I have two cats, of whom I take care of well. Each has their own litter box and I ensure both get a fair share of wet food while also ensuring they don't get overfed. I also ensure to play with them at least twice a day. I have an unfenced yard but am willing and able to walk the dog directly on a leash, my yard is large enough to walk them in the yard itself.

About: I am a mother to a wonderful eleven year old, Kiera. And we have a boy dog named Koda! My love for animals started at a young age and I know that love will never end. I have spent the past 10 years working in restaurants as a manager, event worker, host, server, bartender.

About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets when necessary. In addition, throughout high school I volunteered as a dog walker at the local human society. Duties included but were not limited to feeding, cleaning kennels, and walking dogs of different sizes and training abilities. I have worked with dogs all ages and sizes as well as temperaments. I enjoy being able to spend time with each 4 legged furry friend and give them the best comfort and care while you are away. I am a full-time stay at home dog mom for 4 fur babies. My hours are fairly flexible with the ability to come and go as needed. Dogs have become a part of my life and a huge passion of mine. I am able to care earlier morning to late evening and everything in between. I follow the schedule that that the client gives. More specifically with ideal mealtimes for the pet, as well as daily walks and play time. My dogs have a routine schedule which I maintain. I have learned that most dogs are comfortable with a strict routine. I provide a safe area for them to play as well as keep majority of 100+ toys in. They receive their routine potty breaks and lots time to exercise outside when it's not chilly or wet. Otherwise, they are inside being great cuddle buddies while watching TV and chowing down on some of their favorite snacks.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of my own dogs since I was 10, and I have watched friends and family’s dogs during the summers for the past several years! I am available for house sitting, doggy day care, drop in visits, and dog walks, and I can accommodate your pet’s schedule as needed :) I have a three year old Shetland Sheepdog named Bentley that loves to play. He is potty trained and crate trained. He is allowed on the furniture. Our daily routine is going to potty in the morning, eating breakfast, getting a water cookie treat (ice cube), playing with toys in the living room or in his crate if I am gone, going on a walk in the evenings, and getting dinner with additional potty breaks when needed. I would care for your pet as if it were my own! I am also happy to accommodate personal preferences in the care of your pet.

About: I've always loved taking care of my friends dogs and cats. I once pet sat my friends 2 dogs for a month, and we had a blast. my friends tend to call me a dog slut bc I want to love on any dog I see. But they deserve it!! My dog is my world, he's a rescue mutt, and he is a wild boy, but he makes me so happy. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible, I can bring my work to your home too, and stay with your dog for several hours/ days I always am very attentive with any dog I care for, and promise to treat it like my own. We will play, or just chill. Whatever your dog is feeling :)

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how I naturally fell into pet sitting through caring for family and friends' pets, which soon caught the attention of neighbors. This journey into pet sitting has deepened my passion for my community. I have experience caring for a diverse range of animals including dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, and pets with special medical needs. I'm also skilled in looking after birds, fish, and chickens, and am enthusiastic about expanding my expertise to include even more types of animals. Whether it's training puppies, providing comfort to senior pets, or administering medicine, my approach is always compassionate and tailored to the specific needs of each pet. I'm eager to bring my love and dedication to more families, helping everyone feel secure that their beloved animals are in caring hands. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as I work from home, which provides the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs and preferences of each pet. This flexibility allows me to tailor my day around the pets I care for, ensuring that they receive attentive and personalized care on a schedule that suits them best. Whether it's multiple walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there for company, I'm readily available to make each pet's day better and brighter while their owners are away. When caring for pets, either in my home or at a client's, I prioritize creating a comfortable and consistent environment for each pet. Before any stay begins, I communicate closely with the pet parent to understand what a normal day looks like for their pet. This allows me to tailor the pet's experience specifically to their routine and preferences, ensuring there is minimal change and maximum comfort during their stay. By maintaining their usual schedule — from feeding times to favorite play activities — I make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible, allowing pets to feel secure and at ease whether they're in their home or mine. This customized approach helps ensure that each pet receives the best possible care while under my supervision.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a young child. My grandfather owned chickens, rabbits, geese, birds, dogs, cats and many more that I would help care for. That grew my love for animals into taking care of horses and donkeys as well as traditional dogs and cars. I own a german shepherd myself and a gray tabby and soon hope to get chickens. I would love to give your pets the love I give mine while your away. I have plenty of time to follow whatever schedule you have laid out in your absence. I work from home on my own schedule so I can shift things around as needed. I can give pets medication as directed and feed them on a regular schedule while providing them with adequate play and social time so they get the mental stimulation and physical stimulation they need. I can also safely crate them or put them up in whatever area they are meant to be kept in while unsupervised.
