About: I grew up in a vet clinic having a father as a Veterinarian calling it my home away from home. I chose to stay in the animal field with the passion I have for animals and be that person that owners can trust when they leave their animals and have a peace of mind.I have tons of vet tech experience. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 2 sons,Beckett and Brooks,4 cats, and a dog.We are all enjoying summer at the house with tons of free time , so watching after animals will fit into my schedule perfectly.

“I recently left my 3-month-old Goldendoodle puppy, Willie, in Fortune’s care, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provided a loving and safe environment, and made sure that Willie was well cared for throughout his stay. Her communication was excellent—I always felt informed and reassured. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for quality pet care. I’ll definitely be using her again! 🐶✨”
About: From a young age, I've had a deep passion for taking care of animals. This love for pets led me to pursue various opportunities in the field. During my college years, I worked at a pet resort, where I honed my skills in providing exceptional care and attention to dogs and cats. Additionally, I had the privilege of working with animals as part of a military mission. In this role, I played a vital role in the well-being of dogs and cats, assisting in wellness exams and surgery preparations. This experience not only enhanced my medical knowledge but also strengthened my bond with these incredible creatures. On a personal level, I am a proud owner of a tuxedo cat named Bailey. Over the years, I’ve had an opportunity to care for both dogs and cats. I’ve always been amazed by their unique personalities. Their needs have further enriched my understanding of pet care and deepened my commitment to providing them with the best possible life. Overall, my extensive experience and genuine love for animals have shaped me into a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver. I'm excited to continue my journey in the world of pet care and make a positive impact on the lives of our furry friends. ❤️😊 I currently work remote and have availability for morning, midday and afternoon walks in the surrounding area! Due to the flexibility of my job, I can also work from your home and provide the attention your pet needs. I’m also available to pet sit in your home on weekends with notice and availability. I’m available to pet sit in your home, walk or jog your dog during scheduled breaks through out the day and pet sit on weekends! Let’s work out a plan!
About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends pets. My home is also clean and well maintained to ensure the safetyy of pets. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to step in at short notice in case of any inconveniences and I will be able to give pets my full attention!

“We had a death in the family which necessitated us going out of town the day after Labor Day. Lulu came home happy and was obviously happy with Shume’s care. And she lives very close to us. How awesome is that?!?!”
“Juyne was so kind and loving to my puppy. It was my first time trying someone watching my puppy in their home so I was nervous. They treated her like she was their own puppy and loved on her all day. I appreciated all the photos Juyne sent me through the day so I could see how much fun they were having.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.

We had a great experience! Griffin was very well cared for and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout his stay, it gave me a lot of peace of mind. Morgan has a wonderful setup and Griffin had a great time playing and exploring (especially with her retriever, Popcorn!) It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Griffin came home happy and relaxed and we’ll definitely be booking again!

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
