About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family members since i was old enough to be left alone! I've watched many dogs from shih tzus to pointers, labs, cane corsos and more! i hope you'll consider me as your next pet sitter! Kind regards I am starting a horse trainer apprentice job soon so I'll have plenty of extra time for caring for your pets and making sure they stay happy and stimulated! When at your home i will follow any given rules, feeding times, walking times and routes, i can send hourly updates and photos when i am there so you know your pets are safe and happy!

About: What sets me apart from others is my passion, knowledge, and attention to detail. I have a special interest in training and managing reactive dogs and socializing puppies! I work full time at a local vet clinic & do pet sitting on my days off (Friday-Sunday) I have 3 dogs of my own as well! I care for your pets in YOUR home which I believe makes them more comfortable! I do drop in visits with the duration of your choice. ❤️

About: Hello! My name is Garin and I’m a happy business owner as well as avid movie buff and traveler. If hired I promise to take the best care possible of your beloved furry ones whenever the time is needed! As a business owner I have unique flexibility for pet’s different needs and am available just about anytime even last minute and on some holidays We have a beloved cat Clover that mostly hangs out in our room and has a comfortable playpen when we take longer trips that we can’t bring her on. When caring for client pets we usually attempt minimal routine disruption and treat the pets as if they were our own on our own schedule

About: I have always had a big heart for animals and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I understand that pets are more than just animals, they are members of the family ❤️ I have grown up my whole life with dogs and currently have 3 dogs of my own. I also have many friends that have cats and enjoy their company as well 😁 I work full time during the week but I have availability most evenings and most weekends to dedicate quality time to your fur baby! I’ll do my best to accommodate your pets needs :) I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routine (just like my 3 dogs do). I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special care we discuss ahead of time. I also prioritize safety, respect for your home, and open communication.

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was a child, and have been a dog owner for the last 19 years. I currently have 2 pugs, Goose and Frankie, 1 cat, Sadie -aka Murder Mittens-, and a leopard gecko named Dude. I have experience with facial care for smooshy-faced breeds, administering medication, and providing overall care for senior dogs. I am a freelancer who works from home, so I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most clients' needs. I do my best to accommodate your schedule. I am happy to feed, water, wash bowls, take for walks, clean litter boxes, brush, pet, play, clean faces, wipe paws, give medication, and whatever is needed and tolerated by your pet.

About: I have over eight years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications safely and confidently. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a professional dog bather for a year, which gave me hands on experience handling dogs in high energy environments. I also worked at The Pack as a dog care specialist, where I supported dogs in group play, monitored behavior, and ensured their safety and well-being throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, cuddle time, or more specialized care, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every visit! I work full-time, but my shifts are typically 5–8 hours a day, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care before and/or after work. I’m available for morning, evening, and some midday visits depending on the day. On my days off, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. When caring for your pets, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress free in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

“Kristen was a great walker! She accommodated a last-minute time shift, she showed up right on time, and took our pup for a good walk. We'll definitely hire her again!”

About: Hey guys! We're so glad you're here. (More about Paige) Hello! My background lies mostly in fostering cats throughout my college career. I've fostered over 15 cats throughout the years and learned how to take care of all types of cats; sick, young, old, behavioral difficulties, and all the in-between! Growing up, I lived with big dogs at my dads house and little dogs at my moms, and a few guinea pigs and hamsters thrown in the mix. With an environmental minor, my skills extend past animals and I am also skilled at taking care of any houseplant needs you may have! (More about Kalli) What's up guys! Similarly to Paige, I grew up with large breed dogs, so taking care of canine companions comes naturally to me. I've gained vast amounts of knowledge and experience from working at the Riverdale Animal Shelter as an animal care technician, and am ready for any pups needs. With my background in personal training, I am guaranteed to keep your animals active! With recently losing our pup, we know how difficult it is to leave your pet in anyone hands but your own. We want to take all our love that we previously put into loving our dog and transfer that energy into taking care of yours. With all of our skills combined, we promise to do just that. After recently moving back home our schedule is completely open and we have full availability to take care of as many animals as we can. Animal safety is our top priority! So, it is important for us to not only know the behavior of the animal, but the environment in which they live to build trust and ensure the animals safety at all times.

About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets and small pets. Aggressive, anxious, timid, reactive, and generally difficult pets are my specialty. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.

About: Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic dogs who love adventure to cats who prefer a quiet companion, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is simple: give your pets the attention, care, and peace of mind they deserve while you’re gone. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend bookings. Because pet care is one of my primary focuses, I’m able to provide reliable communication, consistent care, and accommodate many last-minute requests when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or extended care, I strive to be available when you need me most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my time with them so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, and other animals for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and loving while also following your pet’s routine and needs closely. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and safe presence, I’m happy to provide care that fits their personality. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m happy to communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home often. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods. When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and rest. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, especially when they are away from their owners. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and affection based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether a pet enjoys being active and playful or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and a safe space to rest. I take safety very seriously and monitor pets closely while they are in my care. I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including medications, crate routines, or special care requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.

About: I have a Bachelor’s in Zoology. I was a zookeeper for 8yrs, vet assistant for 2yrs, manager of a boarding/daycare facility, manager of a veterinary clinic kennel and manager of a dog rescue. I’ve done it all! Medicate. Groom. Feed. Socialize. Exercise. Train. I am currently in the process of finding a new job, so my schedule is very flexible. My two daughters are in school full time also, so my days are very open. I have a fenced yard where I socialize my dog with other dogs regularly. I clip nails, bathe, feed and medicate my dog, 2 cats and care for my fish!

About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

About: I ’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life—whether inside the house or playing outside, I’ve always had a pup by my side. From small breeds with big personalities to large, energetic dogs who love to run and play, I’m comfortable caring for all types. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet helper for friends and family, often stopping by to walk their dogs, feed them, and make sure they get the love and attention they need. Because of that, I know every dog has their own personality and needs—some are full of energy and love long walks, while others prefer snuggles and quiet time. No matter what your pup loves most, I’ll treat them like part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a 23-year-old photographer who’s currently traveling with my fiancé for his work. Because I don’t have a 9–5 schedule, I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your pup attention, walks, and playtime. I love being active, so daily walks (and even extra adventures if your pup enjoys them!) are part of my routine. I live in a first-story apartment with easy access to the outdoors—perfect for quick potty breaks and long strolls. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, my neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, and my apartment complex has a safe dog park for extra playtime. Safety is always my top priority: I’ll keep your dog on-leash during walks, supervise outdoor play, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Your pup will always get the love and attention they deserve, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Kim is always amazing”
