“This is the 2nd time Sam has taken care of our pets while we’re out of town. She is very communicative and takes the best pictures of our pets! We sure appreciate her, and our cats and guinea pigs love her!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for pets like they’re my own. One of my regular clients is the woman who does my hair and lashes—she trusts me so much, I’m the only person she asks to watch her dogs. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m dependable, gentle, and always happy to follow special care instructions to keep pets happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have one in-person class Tuesday–Thursday for a few hours, so I’m free most days and weekends to care for your pets. I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep them company throughout the week. I prefer to dog sit in the client’s home, as I live in an apartment with roommates. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress. I will ensure they are cared for in a safe, loving atmosphere, with plenty of attention and affection.
About: I have been passionate about animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of them, including rodents, rabbits, chickens, cats, and dogs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for when you can’t be with them. As a devoted pet parent to two wonderful dogs—a Schnauzer and a Dachshund—I know how hard it can be to leave them behind. That’s why I’ll treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I work part-time so I can be home with my daughter when she’s out of school, which gives me plenty of flexibility to devote to caring for pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and every day feels brighter when I get to meet new pups! At home, I take great care of my pets by ensuring they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and love. We go on walks, play with their favorite toys, and practice tricks and commands to keep them happy and engaged. In a client’s home, I bring that same level of care and attention. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and their needs are met just as you would at home.
About: I have cared for dogs all of my life. From puppy stage to elder care. They are not just our pets, they are our children. Currently working full time - but looking to adjust my work schedule or find a different full time job. I would love to care for your fur child! I have a fenced in yard, but pet care at my house is not offered. I would love to provide pet care at your residence.
About: I am trustworthy, honest and caring for you and your fur babies! I have been around animals all my life and not to mention 2 years of vet assistance experience and have had my pet sitting business for 2 years! I have a full time job taking care of animals and am currently in school to be a veterinary technician. I have a pet sitting business called Whisker’s & Tails that has been constantly growing for 2 years! I am available Monday-Sunday as long as I have proper notice. I always make sure to do a meet and greet before any overnight stays or drop in visits. This way I can learn the dog as much as possible and get a good idea of what would be best for me to do. According to the dogs personality I always try to make sure they are as happy, safe and comfortable as possible.
About: I have been working at dog daycares including WNDP and Biscuits for a total of 5 years. I have two of my own dogs and grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently work at biscuits dog daycare in Tacoma and am looking to make a little extra cash doing what I love. I have a few days off during the week and would love spending them walking dogs. I want to make your dog feel comfortable and loved! It will make sure to create a relationship with your dog before walks. I will also bring treats and make sure they are fully leashed before exiting the house.
“My cat Fitz is a difficult child. He will not cuddle and is often grumpy. I warned Summer about this. She still said he was a delight. He was healthy and happy when we picked him up. Fitz enjoyed his stay and I enjoyed hearing about his antics.”
About: I attended LSU for pre law but I am now a student in cosmetology school now. I’m very active I enjoy golfing, boxing and hanging out with my friends. I love dogs! I’ve had several dogs and cats growing up. I have had experience with small dogs and large. I take into account that every pets needs are different. I am very responsible and run off of a planner. I am very anal and aware. I find playing with and being in the company of dogs and cats lift my spirits because they are so loyal and innocent. So that being said, taking care of your pet will actually be doing me a huge favor! I hope you guys like me and give me the privilege to watch
About: Have had dogs and cats in my house since I was born and have always loved and needed the familiarity of them being in the house/the family. Couldn’t imagine life without our furry friends.

I have plenty of experience with dogs and know what is expected and needed in taking care of dogs safety and health. Would love to take care of your beloved family member
About: Hello! My name is Katie and I have many years of pet care, boarding and sitting experience. We live on 5 acres in Metter with lots of puppy love to go around! My children love to help walk and take care of all pet needs with me. My experience with dogs ranges from small breeds such as mini schnauzers, Brussels Griffons and chihuahuas to large breeds such as GSD, Great Danes, Mastifs and Rotties. We love all breeds and welcome any friendly pooch into our home where they will be loved as our own. I allow the pups to play and relax as they like and sleep wherever they’re most comfortable. I am a stay at home mom so I am pretty much at home more than anywhere else taking care of our pets and kiddos. We live on 5 acres with a pond and lots of room to roam! Your pets will be treated to supervised outside play in our fenced in dog run where they can play and burn off all of their pent up energy. Pets are always supervised when outside and never allowed to roam freely without either my husband or myself outdoors with them. All pets are allowed to sleep wherever they find their most comfy spot or can be crated if that is your preference. We do not generally crate unless it is necessary for safety or if that is what your pet is used to at home. I do my absolute best to make sure I follow the same rules you have for your dogs in your own home while they are staying with us.
About: Being a pet owner for over 30 years, and former owner of a boarding kennel, has given me experience and expertise that I want to share with others. I am currently retired and have a very flexible schedule. When I travel, I need reliable sitters for my pets. I would like to provide that opportunity to others who are in the same situation I am in. My yard is completely fenced in which provides a place for pets to enjoy the freedom of running around outside. When walking pets, I always use slip leads and ensure that pets are properly tagged with identification.
About: I’ve always had love for dogs they’re the best companion partner to have! I’m very dependable and will always make sure your pets are in good hands. I’m not currently working so I’m available at anytime needed. I like to take my time and spend with each pup individually. I also take my time to potty train if needed! I have a big backyard that is fenced and plenty of toys for pups to play with. I have 4 very friendly pups who love people and animals.

I have two four year old Rottweilers (95lbs and 125lbs), I desperately needed Cassie's services to care for them while on travel for a few days.

Martina W.
“She’s amazing and took great care of our puppies!”
Katie L.
“Truthfully, I am what most would call a “helicopter parent”.... my dogs are my kids - and I have a hard time letting go and trusting someone to love and care for them as I do. This was not the case with Katie. All three dogs (and their quirks) were taken care of to the point I felt I could actually relax and enjoy my vacation, rather than call and check in daily as I have before with boarding facilities. Katie was in tune with my special needs dog- medication as well as slow walks with plenty of patience to let her sniff around and enjoy her time. Katie was attentive to their needs and went above and beyond to send daily pictures of my pack. I would highly recommend katie to dog moms and dads alike that want to ensure their fur baby is loved on, walked and treated like family.”
Nancy M.
“My dogs always loved to stay with Mrs. Nancy! I knew without a doubt that they were safe and secure in her care! She was wonderful about sending updates and accommodating their needs! She treats others pets as if they are her own and if they can't be with me, I would want them to be with Mrs. Nancy!”
Kinsey M.
“Kinsey is great! Responsible, compassionate, and mature. Appreciate her help with our Bichon while away for weekend.”
Victoria M.
“Highly recommend victoria for your fur-baby needs. Due to my work schedule I’m not always able to tend to my fur babies as needed and she’s always a call away and very loving/caring with my pups.”
