About: MY family and I foster through the Carver-Scott humane society, with 2 Maine Coon cats of our own. I have 2 assistants (11 & 7) that would join me if approved to play with and cuddle your pet. We are understanding of varying personalities and intricacies of all animals and needs they may have. Our family is a homeschooling family that has day and night opportunities to serve your family. Our schedule is constantly changing, but can make time that fits into your schedule as well. We will come to your home to do the items you wish - feed, play, walk, cuddle with your pet. If your pet prefers a quiet environment with no kids, I will come solo. If your pet loves to play and get cuddled the 2 children will be happy to love on your pet. They are trained by the humane society and are well equipped to handle pets in different situations.

Our goal is to make sure your dogs are getting the best care we can officer so you don't have to worry why you are away I fall the somethings you do if you kennel them to baby gates you have up around the house. Its important to me to fall the same safety measures that you do when your not home.

About: I’ve had a dog for 6 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m experienced with daily care including feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with pets. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during weekdays. I am available for pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Because I have cared for my own dog for 6 years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. I always make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. I’ll follow any routines or instructions closely and treat your pets like they’re my own.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for about 5 years. I have neighbors and family friends that I dog sit for and walk their dogs. Family friends, coworkers, and even travel agents come to me for puppy/animal care! Pet care fits in perfectly with my routine. I am very responsible when it comes to other people’s pets and am very flexible and available. In my home, someone is almost always around. My dad works from home and I have school for a minimum of 2 hours in the morning. In my clients homes, I take time out of my day to spend time with their animals, and work according to the animals schedule, not mine.

About: I've taken care of of dogs and cats for 9 years. I've pet sat for friends before. Im an active college rugby player and I can keep up with your dog. I'm currently on break from college so I have an open and flexible schedule. I can take opportunities any day of the week and im willing to do weekends. Ill play with, brush, feed and spend time with pets for a day or overnight visit. Mostly looking for dog walking, I can meet any needs they would have on those walks.

About: Growing up on a farm I understand the connection animals give us. We had at least 3 dogs around us constantly. Their care and comfort is my number one priority. I have experience with reactive and timid dogs. As a young teenager I did 4H with my boarder collie. We competed in agility, rally’s, and basic obedience. My GSD and I worked through his reactivity to other dogs and people. I personally trained him to be the best boy he can be, and he earned his K9 good citizen. I love all types of personality’s, from teething puppies to seniors who just need some company. I excel in dog training, I love a good challenge. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your four legged family members! I am available until late May! I thoroughly follow instructions for your pet, and the safety of you’re home. I understand that some dogs are timid, and that some dogs are reactive on walks. I will be sure to make my time with you’re pup comfortable and enjoyable for both of us.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.

“Bailey has been amazing with Winnie! She’s always on time, takes great updates pictures, and trains Winnie while they walk!!”

About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!

About: I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats. I have always been around animals of all kinds. My friends and family call me whenever they need a pet sitter as I enjoy taking care of animals. I currently work from home, so I am able to have animals at my home, stay at client's homes with their pets or just stop by to check in or do walks. My work schedule is flexible. I own my own home with an unfenced yard, but I do have outdoor dog hookups and a friendly neighborhood to walk animals. My furniture is pet friendly and I always love a good snuggle.

About: I have owned and cared for many dogs all throughout my life. From smaller dogs to Great Danes and even helping birth, care for, and train multiple litters of puppies.

I have a soft spot for older dogs. I have had many dogs live up to 15 years old. I have learned gentleness with them and maintaining their needs. I am home/available most of the day. I am often up early in the morning and I come home for the day before lunch time. I try to spend a lot of time outside and being active. I am a part time CNA. I mainly work a couple evenings during the week and occasional weekends. I have a good sized yard with a pond for bathroom and play. My yard does not have a fence but my dog enjoys being outside on a long leash and roaming around our yard. My dog has a very large crate fit for 2 dogs and I also have another separate (1 dog) crate.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. The last few years I have started dog/house sitting for people in my neighborhood and looking to expand to meet more dog friends! I am a teacher, so during the school year I am gone during the day. In the summer or on weekends I am very flexible! I am willing to stay at your place with your dog(s). In the past, I have stayed at the home while I am dog sitting.

About: I have never not had a pet in my life. Since I was born, my family has had two dogs no matter what. We have had the two same dogs for the past 10 years now and I have learned to take care of them whether that be bathing them, feeding them, taking them on walks, or giving them love. I can’t imagine my life without dogs and I love every single one I see! I am currently training as a professional hockey player so I have plenty of time to walk dogs. I love going on walks and am willing to take your dogs on walks anytime mid day to afternoon. There might be days where I have hockey practice in the afternoon, but I would communicate with my client to figure out a solution. I have walked my two dogs every single day for the past two summers and know many different areas to walk dogs that they love. My car is dog friendly if I were to take your pet to a fun new walking spot and I love to discover new trails.

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Anna — lifelong animal lover, certified cat-obsessed, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the sidewalk. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I lost my soul kitty, Aida, who taught me so much about love, patience, and tuning into an animal’s emotions. Because of her, I show up for every pet with extra gentleness, attention, and respect. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, understood, and happy while you're away. I’m calm, reliable, and easygoing — but also fun, playful, and fully committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is social, shy, quirky, energetic, or a little stubborn, I meet them exactly where they are. 🐶🐱 My Pet Care Approach ✨ All animals welcome — cats, dogs, seniors, shy pets, and everything in between. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. ✨ I’m patient with anxious or nervous animals. ✨ I give lots of updates so you never wonder how things are going. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets — so I make it easy by treating them like my own. 💬 What Services I Offer -Drop-In Visits Perfect for feeding, litter scooping, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m great with shy cats. 💖 Why Choose Me? • Calm, patient energy animals naturally relax around • Experienced with cats of all ages • Big heart for pets with quirks, anxiety, or special routines • Reliable, communicative, and never rushes through visits • A little extra love in honor of Aida, my heart kitty Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to step out for drop-ins or walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening visits. Pet care blends smoothly into my week and gives me something grounding and joyful to look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine you already have in place. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications as needed. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and body language so I can adjust my approach — some pets want play, some want cuddles, and some prefer calm company. For house sits (no overnights), I make sure pets feel comfortable in their space, stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and give frequent photo updates so you always know they’re doing well.

“Caiti was so great with Winnie! Her fenced in yard was perfect for Winnie to play for the weekend. We felt very safe leaving Winnie with a vet tech!!”
