About: Hi there! I’m a high school physical educator with a passion for staying active and healthy. While I don’t have a furry friend of my own right now, I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and absolutely love spending time with them! I understand the importance of care, attention, and exercise for your fur babies, and I’d love the opportunity to provide that for them when you need a helping hand. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, or just cuddling up, I’m here to ensure your pet is well taken care of and enjoys their time with me. Let’s give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I just recently lost my sweet boy, who was very elderly. I took care of him daily to clean his ears, help him up and down stairs, as well as helping him eat. I have a very wide experience of taking care of pups! I currently working full-time as a physical educator, as well as a volleyball coach. I am available evenings and weekends all day! If I board your pups, I live right by my work place which allows me to stop in and let them out through out the day and give them attention! With a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, I offer personalized pet care services both in your home and in mine. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra TLC, I strive to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in every environment. In your home, I maintain your pet's daily routine, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I provide familiar surroundings and consistent care, reducing the stress of your absence. From feeding schedules to special needs, I tailor my services to meet their individual requirements. When your pet stays with me, they are treated like family. My home is a pet-friendly space where your furry friends can relax, play, and enjoy a comfortable environment while you're away. I offer plenty of attention, exercise, and love, making sure they feel right at home in a safe, cozy space.

About: I have puppy sat for family/friends for 2 and 1/2 years, I also have experience with all types of dogs since I have worked at Dogtopia. My schedule is very flexible as I’m an online college student. I’m available day and night Monday through Friday. I will do my best to make accommodations for everyone’s schedule. I have 2 dogs at home with a fenced in back yard. I’m also available to go to someone’s house to watch there dog also.

About: I've been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life and have been in home pet sitting for over 20 years. I will give your pet the attention they deserve on a daily basis. I am happy to accommodate whatever requests you have in order to take care of your pet. I work from home and create my own schedule. So I am available to make in-home visits whenever you need them. I'm also able to accept last minute reservations for care. While I do own six cats, they are able to be separated from other animals that I am boarding in my home. I have a very large backyard, it is unfenced, so I would keep your pet on a leash or lead while outside. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, for their own peace and security. I am happy to do overnight stays if required. I'm very trustworthy and I am completely comfortable with you having cameras in your home while I am there.

“Gail was wonderful with Doris! We had a few hiccups as this was our first time apart but we're ready for the next trip and will ask for Gail! She was patient while Doris & I missed one another.

Your my 1st choice FOREVER!”

About: Hi I'm Katie I'm 28 years old and have had my dog Roxy, a husky rott-chow for 8 years now. I absolutely love animals and will take care of them as if they were my own. I go to school and when I'm not working we love going on walks, exploring new places, playing, and learning new tricks and being outside as much as possible. I have experience with dogs of all types and have cared for my dog after her acl surgery so am fairly comfortable with after surgery check ins if needed. I have also had plenty of experience with cats and had volunteered at helping hands throughout high school. Would love to look after your pup for you and would be happy to send you pictures so you can check in on your babies, Im also available on fairly short notice, look forward to meeting you and your pup! I can check on your pets in the morning or late afternoon/evening and can do multiple visits per day if needed. I'm also available on short notice. We'll set up a meeting before my first visit to discuss any tasks you'd like done and also to make sure I am a good fit for your pup or kitten.

About: I have had dogs all my life and recently left my job at a local dog shelter. My sister and I have been fostering and volunteering for the shelter for almost two years now. We have fostered everything from full grown pitbulls down to 6 week old boxer puppies. My passion is dogs. Whenever friends and family go out of town, I’m the designated dog sitter. No dog is too much to handle. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and they love to play and have guests. I try to go on walks everyday and I try my best to provide the care and attention each dog needs. I have a full time job that I work until 5 Monday through Friday, but I am home every day at lunch time for an hour and am able to take the dogs out to play and go potty. I have a very quiet and stress free home. I work full time so I am gone from 7am until between 430 and 5 Monday through Friday. I am home on the weekends other than running errands. My dogs and I like to spend a lot of time outside playing when we are home. I treat my pets and other’s like family. My pets sleep with me and when others are here they do as well as long as their owners are okay with it. I do have ways to separate dogs if that is necessary. If I am at someone else’s home, I will follow whatever parameters they have for their animals.

“We highly recommend Allison!! She goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are safe, happy and loved while we’re away. We couldn’t enjoy a vacation without knowing they’re in her capable care. 🥰”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my home since I was born and have always been a big animal lover! I’ve always had a dog bestfriend in my life and I love making new fur baby friends. I’m a mostly stay at home mom looking to bring in some more income, so hoping to make pet care a part of my routine pretty often! I wish I had the space to bring your fur baby into my own home but sadly I don’t. But, I will treat your fur baby and your home with the love and care as if they were my own!

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals from bunnies to horses. I grew up raising and showing pigs, goats, rabbits and longhorns. I have ample experience with house hold pets. The past two years I have worked with local animal rescues to find forever homes for dogs. I have taken care of all kinds from bottle babies to seniors needing a place to relax u til they cross the rainbow bridge. I am more than capable of accommodating to medications and special need patients. I personally have four dogs of my own and have fosters in and out of my house all of the time. Taking care of pets is all I do and is something that I excel at. I am a firm believer of consistency in animals and will take care of your pet however you see fit. I would except the same thing for my animals and will ensure that your pets get the best service.

About: I grew up on a farm and I have experience dealing with all kinds of animals, and it's a passion of mine to love and take care of animals. For extra money in high school, I would dog sit for family friends while they were on vacation, and I still dog/cat sit for my friends and family occasionally. Recently, both of my childhood dogs passed away. I can't have dogs in my apartment and I feel a longing to bond and spend time with dogs. This job is a wonderful way to utilize my animal experience and also fulfill my need to interact with dogs. I currently work as a real estate agent, so my schedule is very flexible. If you would like your dog walked or cared for routinely throughout the week, let me know and I will be happy to fit you into my schedule! I do not offer dog boarding for clients since I am not allowed dogs/cats in my apartment. I do however love to dog sit or just come by during the day to take them on a walk. I understand animals are a part of the family and it takes a lot of trust to allow someone else to take care of them. I always send you pictures of your pet when I’m caring for them. Not only does this assure you that your pet is in good hands, but who doesn’t love a random picture of their furry friend?!

About: I've been fond of dogs since I was a child and they have returned the same fondness. Dogs and I have always had a special energy and connection. I guess they can tell I love them, appreciate them and truly believe they are "Mans Best Friend." I enjoy dogs of all sizes and my family has always called me their version of the "Dog Whisperer". When not looking after others fur balls I enjoy three of my own. Cayenne is a black Schnauzer and Kashmir and Jag are Mi-Ki's and were brother and sister from the same litter. All three are 10 years old. I look forward to being of service to you and providing whatever care or attention you need. I live in an apartment so I don't have room to board. I do however enjoy looking and caring for pets in their own environment whether that be walking them, companion visits, helping get them to the vet, etc. Whatever you need I will do my best to deliver. I look forward to meeting you!

“Kristie watches my dogs for me all the time and they LOVE her. I have 3 dogs: a 12 year old pomeranian/poodle named Lucy, a 2 year old boxer mix named Freedom, and a 1 year old schnauzer/pit named Panda. My dogs are all very different and they all have different needs, but I always know that they are taken care of when I leave them with Kristie. Panda has ENDLESS amounts of energy and needs a lot of playtime and exercise to be happy, Freedom is happy to just hang out, but she needs at least 2-3 long walks a day so she can hunt all the squirrels and rabbits that she watches from the window, and Lucy wants nothing more to sit in your lap and occasionally be let out to potty and munch on some plants. Kristie knows all of their personalities and needs and takes care of them accordingly. I highly recommend her!!”
