About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 14; Dogs, cats, horses, you name it! In recent years, I have pet sat (Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and even a bearded dragon!) for 5 different families with regularity, relying on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I took some time off to focus on my full-time job but now I am back to take care of your fur babies! I have experience with breeds of all shapes and sizes, and love to learn about each pets needs, quirks, and their favorite spot to be pet! I work as a student nurse tech and a phlebotomist PRN (whenever I pick up shifts, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible) currently and my shifts are 4 to 8 hours long. I am in nursing school, and I go to class Tuesday and Thursday from 12pm to 3:30pm and Wednesday clinical 6:30am to 3:30pm. If you need a quick walk or drop in visit in the early mornings, mid day, and early evening, I'm your gal! If you need a quick drop in while you are at work or running errands, I'm your gal as well! I do not mind late night drop ins or walks as well, I am pretty flexible for walks and drop ins throughout the day if I’m not working at the hospital or studying at school. I love to walk parks and hike through trails, and your dog can come along for the ride anytime!! I am always very respectful of boundaries and client's homes. I will care for your pets just as you would, providing them with as much attention and love they desire! I am always respectful of your pets boundaries as well, and will never put them in a stressful situation. I currently live in an apartment that only allows cats, and I have one kitty cat named Booker. I am a nursing student and I study quite a bit. If your pet needs a person who can chill and keep them company, I can 100% provide that! If your pet needs someone to play and run around with, I can 100% provide that as well! If your pet has medical administration needs, I have experience with this as well. One family that I pet sat regularly for had a kitty who needed insulin via injection two times a day, another had a pupper that needed two pills at morning and evening feedings. I am always punctual with medicine times and I follow instructions very closely.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes my whole life. I’m not good at training but I will help reinforce any training. I also love cats and could cuddle them for hours. Currently working part time, so I have all the time to play with and take care of your pets. I can be there most of the day, excluding an hour for school pick up. I cannot watch pets in my home because of my own animals, but I would love to be able to walk yours! I’ll take them on a few walks every day to make sure they’re getting enough exercise.

“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”

About: I have always had animals around me my whole life. My wife and I currently have two sweet cats and we see her families dog very often. I grew up walking my cousins dogs and am good with most any kind of animal! I am currently a full time student so I have lots of time and a flexible schedule for taking care of pets. I have two cats of my own and will be adding a puppy into the mix soon! I will treat your fur baby as if it were my own and not only take care of them while you are away but make sure to spend some good time making sure they are played with and loved.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience. I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means long walks and playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to a trusted routine. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions, and I always keep safety a top priority. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands. One of the perks of working remotely is being able to take mid-day breaks, and I love spending that time with pets! I can easily fit in walks, playtime, or drop-ins throughout the day, so your furry friend gets the attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I make sure walks are safe, feeding instructions are followed, and your home is respected. I also provide regular updates and photos so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting on and off for 15 years. Animals are my joy and giving them love, care and attention is the greatest job and honor I can have. I help train your animal basic commands. Also I reinforce any training you are personally doing with your fur baby. I am fit and I long to go for walks, runs and or hikes with your dogs (1-3 at a time). I have a lot of available time to spend loving and caring for your animal and their specific needs. Also brushing cats and dogs is health for them and I love it. I am flexible with location and duration of stay with your fur babies at your home. I am flexible with their needs and yours. I am excited to meet you and your fur babies. Thank you and blessings to you and your family. Pet care and house sitting work very well into my flexible schedule and I adore fury babies. I do work 30 hours a week, off at noon on fridays and off weekends. Also have a 3 hour lunch each day. I care for pets in their homes, exactly the way their parents care for them. I keep their schedules the same and love them and meet all their needs.

First time that my dogs met Nicole and she won them over with her gentleness and patience. Belle can be a little "squirrelly" but was quickly comfortable with Nicole. They both walked over a mile which is great. And they both are so happy. I swear Belle is smiling!
