About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered rescue puppies for five years now. I have also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for two years. I am just graduated from college so I am available throughout the week or weekends. I can start booking appointments after June 9th! This includes dog or cat pet sitting, dog walking, or overnights! I will come to your house to pet sit, dog walk, or stay for extended periods of time to ensure the happiness and safety for your pet. Whatever you and your pet need I will do. My utmost priority is your fur baby!

About: I was raised with Border Collies, Maltese, German Shepards, Norwegian Elk hounds and Huskies, between fostering, personal pets and caring for friends/families pets. Cared for and hand fed puppies my whole life as well as cared for senior dogs needing a slower, more loving pace in their later years. I run my own business and work from home allowing me a lot more free time and flexibility than most in and outside my home for care. I have 2 very smart and sweet cats (1 years old and 4 years old) as well as a 10 year old Norwegian Elk Hound. All 3 are more than accustomed to random animals being in and out of the home as anyone with animals that come over are more than welcome and encouraged to bring them along. Animals are children and completely apart of the family in our world and household. Capable of crating animals yet prefer freedom for the babies if possible.

About: I've grew up with dogs and have been responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, walking/running & playing/taking outside, bathing, and more. I have experience giving older dogs medicine, both orally and injections (especially insulin for diabetic dogs). One of my dogs developed hip dysplasia and cancer at her older age, so I am experienced with caring for senior dogs in need of extra attention. Additionally, I often pet sit for family and friends and am trusted to ensure not only their basic needs are met (clean water, food, bathroom breaks/walks), but also they receive attention and affection while their owners are away. I'm currently home for the summer as a college student and I'm unable to get a job with a set schedule because I have surgery coming up which takes a huge chunk out of my summer but I'm available for the entirety of June and first week of July. I can basically be free whenever needed, weekdays and weekends! Since I have cats at my house, I don't care for client's pets in my own home to minimize conflict. In clients homes I follow whatever rules laid out for their animals, ensuring they're fed at the proper intervals, always have clean water (and litter boxes if used). If applicable, I like to go outside with the pets to play with them and make sure they get needed stimulation. I take them on walks (and of course clean up after them), and runs when applicable. I also like to make sure the animals get lots affection (as long as approved by their owners) to make sure they're not lonely while away!

About: I’ve taken care of a multitude of different animals dating back to before I can remember. I have an abundance of experience with big pups and many other sizes. I currently have only one medium rescue and live in a house with a yard. I have experience with many with dogs who are hesitant and scared of new people. I take a very friendly fearless approach towards most dogs, unless not suggested by an owner. I also happen to be a baker creating both dog treats and sweets for the owners. If this sounds interesting to you please just ask and we can go over the details. I am currently not working and am a full time college student so I have a pretty open schedule so I would be able to work with you and your pups needs and schedule. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family. I myself have a very friendly and lazy corgi. I live in a house with a small river behind it, and safety is always my top priority. All outdoor time is fully supervised and tailored to each pet’s comfort level. I’m about 15 minutes from two different dog parks and am happy to visit only if owners are comfortable (and completely understand if that’s a definite no). Pets have free roam of the house, are welcome on the couch, and sleep in the room with me so they’re never alone. As an avid animal lover, I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs, making sure every pet feels secure, loved, and at home while you’re away

About: Hi! My name is Isaiah, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I currently have two cats, Sharpay and Stevie, and a dog named Sterling, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve raised and looked after pigs, bearded dragons, bunnies, and fish. This experience has taught me how to adapt to different personalities, routines, and care needs whether that’s energetic playtime, gentle handling, or maintaining specific feeding and habitat routines. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you have peace of mind with updates and communication. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I currently work part-time as a Certified Nursing Assistant (just 2 days a week), which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules and can be dependable for walks, drop ins, or extended stays. Your pet will get lots of attention, care, and consistency! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide consistent, stress free care. I closely monitor behavior, ensure secure environments (leashes, doors, and harnesses are always double-checked), and keep a calm, patient approach especially with shy or anxious pets. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy

About: I have taken care of pets for a long time. My neighbor had me dog sit last year for about 2 weeks and it was honestly the best experience. I have also had experience with feeding another neighbors dog once a day while they were at work. I am working part-time so I have an easily flexible schedule with nothing tying me down. I can easily stop by to play or feed the pets. I will easily follow every step that is given to me with rules and boundaries of what the pet can or can not do. I will not bend rules

About: I have taken care of dogs all sizes and different temperaments. We have 4 cats in my home currently! I love working with animals of all kinds- I’m hoping to go back to school for my vet tech certification soon! I have a flexible schedule and am available weekdays until the sun goes down!

About: I have been a dog owner for 15+ years, and have taken care of friends and families dogs along the way. I come from a family that lives on a farm, so I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens and bunnies all my life! I know how important outside time is, along with play and potty breaks! I am a teacher who has the summer off, so I am around during the day and evenings specifically during the week! I am looking for some walking buddies and extra outside time this summer. I am a responsible and reliable caretaker, I will always use a leash when outdoors at my home, and whatever the comfort level is for your home. There are lots of sidewalks and parks where I live that are dog friendly and I have a front porch where dogs can sit outside with me.

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve had Guinea pigs, birds, cats, and now the dog mom to two wonderful dogs. Let me help ease your mind during days that are a bit hectic for you. Let me know your pets routine and I will take care of the rest. I look forward to meeting you! I currently work full-time with an hour lunch. I can take care of your pet during my break, after 5pm or anytime on weekends. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I do my best to treat your pet as if it was my own and would like to keep the routine as normal as possible for them. Let me know if they have a favorite toy or a walking path they prefer.

“Gary is awesome! Super reliable and treats Rosebud so sweetly. Very punctual and great at communicating. I would definitely recommend him.”

About: I am a semi retired veterinary assistant with nearly 20 years professional experience and a passion for caring for animals. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your pets at home. I appreciate and respect the trust that every owner puts in me when they contact me to care for their animal. I can give medications if needed, including injections. Also have worked in shelters and volunteer at rescues. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats. Feeding, walking, playing or if they have any special needs is not a problem. I have a flexible schedule and open to working with you to arrange drop in visits. Mid morning through later afternoons are open for me. If you need another time, just let me know. I'm happy to do whatever your pets need, whether they want to play, walk or just hang out. If they are a little shy and need time to get used to me is totally understandable, I will follow their cues. I will take my time to learn what they need and adapt to them. The goal is always to keep them as stress free as possible.

“Sarah is fantastic. Super communicative and most importantly my pup Alfie seems to love her! Highly recommend”

I don’t care for pets in my own home, but I’m very respectful and reliable when it comes to caring for pets in their own space. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and give plenty of attention and care during my visit! I want your pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
