About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m an experienced and dependable pet lover with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have one cat of my own, but I grew up with both big and small dogs, as well as indoor and outdoor cats—so I’m very comfortable around pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. While I now work as a server and bartender, I’ve always made time for animals. During college, I volunteered regularly at the local animal shelter, where I walked a wide variety of dogs. That experience taught me a lot about leash and harness handling, and gave me the skills to confidently care for dogs with different energy levels and personalities. Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your pup, check in on your cat, or just give your pets some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every animal like my own and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and reliable care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently I work part time, which does give me more time to help out with your babies! My only “guaranteed” times off are Tuesday afternoons and Sundays, which is when I could be available for recurring bookings. Otherwise, I get my schedule for the next week on Friday afternoons, which means I can book one-times about a week out. Every pet in my care is treated like family - with kindness, attention, and genuine love. Whether I’m on a walk or watching them at home, I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m big on cuddles, playtime, and keeping their environment clean and calm. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, always making sure they’re comfortable and cared for like they’re my own.

About: Hey, it’s lovely to meet you! I’m Skylynn! But my friends call me Cielo :) From cuddly kittens to wise old pups, pets have been part of my world since I could walk! I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats through every stage—from zooming-around-the-house puppies to sweet seniors who just want a comfy nap buddy. But my care goes far beyond food bowls and leashes! I tailor walks and playtime to match each pet’s energy, keep a close eye on special diets, and gently handle medications and supplements when needed. I even handle brushing and nail trims to help your furry little fur ball feel their best! I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and happy! Whether they’re shy, spunky, cuddly, or curious, I tune into their emotional needs—offering play, snuggles, and calm companionship that makes them feel right at home. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years because I treat every pet like family—because to me, they are! And the love doesn’t stop at cats and dogs! I’ve also grown up around horses, cows, and reptiles, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animals big, small, and scaly! No matter who I’m caring for, I bring kindness, patience, and a whole lot of heart to every visit! (También hablo español :) I work part-time with mostly short morning shifts—so pet care fits perfectly into my day! I have plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and even weekends to give your four-legged-ball-of-joy the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, dinner and snuggles, or a weekend playdate, I’ve got the time (and the love!) to spare. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it never feels like “extra” work, just the best part of my day! 🐾💛 I choose to care for pets in their own home, because my #1 goal is to make everything feel just right—for both you and your fluffy buddy! I follow your instructions closely to keep routines familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or cozy sleeping spots, I make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and totally at ease! I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. Clean, tidy, and trustworthy is the name of my game! I always double-check doors, gates, and anything safety-related to make sure your pet stays secure and happy while you’re away. You can count on regular updates (and cute photos, of course!) so you know your pet is in loving hands. Familiar smells, their own bed, and a loving sitter? That’s a recipe for tail wags and purrs all around!

About: I have taken care of dogs, pigs, chickens, cats, birds and fish for my family and for friends. I also have a Persian senior cat at home :) I am looking for check ins, I can feed, walk, play, etc. and clean up after animals. I don’t mind multiple animals at one time. I go on long walks every day now and need a partner! I love older animals as well as babies. I have come to raise kittens and puppies and help teach potty training and good manners. Tricks too.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!

About: Hello! I absolutely love animals with a passion! I would love to help people out by watching their babies! I love being outside and enjoying the beautiful weather going for walks and playing around! I will love your animal like they are my own! I Can't wait to sit for you! You'll love knowing your precious baby is being cared and loved for while you're away at work or out of town. I can't wait to play and make memories with your loved one! I will make sure that each visit from me is the best and will takes lots of pictures to send to you during your time away! Please Let me know if you have any questions for me! See you all real soon! Thanks! I work a very small amount so that leaves most of my day open for love and spoiling. I can do pet boarding, house sitting, daily check ins, walks & much needed loving and spoiling. We offer a very pet friendly home inside and out. I have 1 pups- 2 years old and he is very friendly. We spoil and love in our home. They can snuggle on our couch or beds. We go for walks and have lots of outdoor play time too! We even have a doggy pool for those darn hot summer/fall days!

About: Grew up on a farm and have loved animals ever since I can remember.Enjoy being around them and taking care of them. For the most part there has always been a dog & or cat in my household. Very patient so I think that comes in handy with all the different personalities that pets have. Being reliable is super important to me so if i say I'm going to do something or be there at a certain time its true 99% of the time. Currently have a cat and its hard for me to imagine not being around him every single day. If you let me take care of your pets they will be in great hands!! Work for my self mostly so I can set my own hours. An early riser, who wants to accomplish something new every single day. Plan my schedule out 2 weeks in advance I don't take care of pets in my home because I rent my place out for airbnb. Enjoy going to new places to see new pets

About: I have had a dog almost all my life and they have always been a passion.

I also got to work with the trainer and can help teach basic commands to dogs. I work full time as a nursing assistant. I can’t have any more pets myself and I would take care of your pet as if it were my very own. I will take the pet for walks, depending on weather will determine the length as well as the pet. I would also be willing to wash the pet for the client and help out in any way I could with them.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to my own fur family, I've watched several other's fur babies for the past 10 years. I work from home, so I'm home the majority of the time. That means your animals always get the attention they need, plus always another animal for companionship. I don't have a fenced yard, but I ALWAYS tether or take them out on a leash when at my home. I do like to give treats like kongs for added stimulation as well. I do have crates or have room for crates for sleeping or if they need alone time.

I schedule my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings. I use a planner or scheduling app to stay organized and ensure I’m always on time and fully available for each pet. I also build in extra time for unexpected needs, like a longer play session or a quick clean-up. My routine is flexible enough to adjust to each pet’s unique needs, while still being structured to provide reliable, consistent care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow any specific routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk times, and preferred play activities. I make sure pets have clean water, a safe and clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor for any signs of stress or illness and communicate regularly with the pet owner to provide updates and ask questions if anything unusual comes up. Whether I’m offering pet sitting, drop-in visits, or overnight care, my goal is to ensure each pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for in their owner’s absence.
