Oren did an amazing job. We had two drop-ins, and he played ball with our dog. He was so tired when we got home. Sent photos and even brought his cute little girl. Which I am sure our big dog was in heaven with her.

Murphy was so happy to have Madison take care of him today! The day before Murphy strained his shoulder and I was worried about leaving him but Madison made sure he had lots of love and his needs were met. We very much appreciated her service and look forward to future bookings!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all personalities and needs. Alongside pet sitting, I also work on dog training, focusing on patience, trust, and positive reinforcement. I genuinely care about every animal I work with and always treat them like family. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood while helping them grow and thrive. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for pet sitting and training anytime after 7am and before 3pm. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, maintaining routines, providing loving attention, regular exercise, enrichment, and patient guidance to ensure they feel safe and happy.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.

About: I have been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school. I have many years experience with home and pet sitting. I can also administer medications including vaccines. I am currently looking to do pet sitting full time and have a very open schedule, so I am very flexible in what days I can sit. I will no longer be accepting clients if it is within a week of booking, as that does not give me time to properly look into who I accept as a client. I am also requiring a meet and greet at least a week in advance to see if your dogs are properly trained and will listen to basic commands, and to make sure the house is clean and liveable for the time I will be there. I plan on utilizing what is available at your house, but I also plan on taking your pet for car rides or to parks to enjoy the outdoors, if that is something they are allowed. I can’t stay at a house or get dogs out of a house with cats. I am highly allergic to them, so it has to be a dog only household. I am currently only able to stay at your home as an option, as my household has dog unfriendly dogs.

About: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs.

About: I’ve always been the go to person when someone needs their dog picked up, let out or watched. I’ve had animals my entire life from horses to dogs. I am a registered nurse who works 3 days a week. I am currently looking for a side gig that is baby friendly so my son can tag along on walks. Your dogs will not be left out of my sight! I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.
