About: I want to provide peace of mind to pet owners, by caring for their furry family members in there absence, as I want for my own furry family. Safe, loving and fun environment for pets to be cared for. I have senior animals and a puppy..I also give injections and have no problem giving medications. My husband and I both work, but due to different shifts, someone is always home to care for our guests. We can always be available. We have a fenced in yard, and also a smaller fenced in yard to secure no escapes :) we can modify as needed for your precious pet.

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

About: Hello, my name is Brianna and I love animals! I worked at Petsmart for six years and have always had dogs in my home. I think dogs need love, attention, social situations, and lots of exercise to truly thrive. I had my own Pomeranian /poodle mix dog named Diesel for 10 years that I absolutely adored before his recent passing. I have met and worked with many types of dogs throughout my life. I currently have a very open schedule as I am between work contracts for a couple months. I have a lot of time to help care for your buddy! I have taken care of my own dog for all ten years of his life. I loved to cuddle with him and play with him. I love all dogs and love to see them happy.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I had a dog growing up and as I got older I would always help care for my families pets when they've go out of town or on vacation.

I work from home full time and can take care of dogs or cats throughout the day on weekdays and weekends. I own 2 cats and 1 dog right now and can take care of the animal in your home or mine. I will take care of your pet in your home and leave the house as I found it.. clean and tidy. I also love walking and hiking and can always bring your dog for a nice long walk to a local park or nice grassy area to enjoy.
