About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.
“Janyl was wonderful. We have 5 black cats, several of which have special needs, and she got our system down fast. A lot of our close friends still can't tell the cats apart, but she got it within just a couple of visits! Everyone got the right medications and plenty of attention, and Janyl even washed some dishes for us when Rover glitched and she had extra time. I would definitely use her again, especially knowing how much of a pain my kids can be.”
“Amanda did an awesome job. We had a last minute booking and she even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day of the booking. The updates were great and she even spent some extra time playing with our dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Amanda!”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.
About: I had multiple animals growing up, and always helped take care of them all. I’ve also helped take care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats! I work a full time job Monday-Friday from 7am-4pm so I’m always going to be available on weekends or anytime after 4pm during the week days! I treat every cat and/or dog like it’s my own, every pet gets the same attentive care no matter what. I always make sure your little one has a save environment
“Kass took good care of my cats (and my plant!). Everything was in order when I returned, and communication was also consistent throughout. I would feel comfortable leaving them in her care again.”
About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.

My favorite thing is sending pet parents their pictures of their babies so they can see how they're doing. Please let me know what special treats, blankets, or toys make your pets happy because happy pets are the best and they make their owners happy. Feel free to contact me with any other inquiries.

About: I have 6+ years of taking care of my 2 jack Russell’s, neighbors dogs + cats in 3 different states and my boyfriends parents 2 cats (1 disabled). Promptly giving medicine to those animals in need for specific time, and patience tending to their attentions and needs. I work full time remote M-Thursday 8am-4pm with an hour and half lunch break each day. I work 3x a week part time on site and can be flexible as needed. I have a high energy dog (Jack Russell) that requires a lot of assertiveness and strict use of instruction. But at the same time requires rewards and playtime. I love to care for animals, but also care about the safety of myself, and owners property always keeping that at a #1 priority of my surroundings and the pets safety and better interest of the owner.
About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember, and throughout my time in my childhood home I cared for 6 cats and 3 dogs. I have working experience caring for reptiles, birds, and fish, and currently own two cute kitties and two wonderful dogs I am currently between full-time positions and have plenty of time to care for your animals. Whether it is cats, dogs, or something a little more exotic, I am free weekdays and weekends to make sure your fur (or not!) family gets the care they deserve. While I am with your animals, I provide the utmost care and attention to them while giving them engaging play or cuddles as they need. I send update texts during each visit and lock up tight when I leave so the kiddos are safe and secure.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have had pets of my own ever since I was born! Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for years to stay at their homes with their animals, check up on them, and ensure they are being fed and well cared for while they are away. I treat each animal like they are my own and provide the care that they so deserve! I’m currently only working part time this summer so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet throughout the day! Whether it be stopping over for a quick visit or staying over night I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule. Due to having 2 cats of my own and a small apartment, I am unable to keep an animal overnight in my home. However, if I were to stay overnight in a client’s home I would be sure to follow the exact directions that are given to me in order to provide the best possible care for their furry children.
“Our overall experience was fantastic. We felt like we didn’t have to worry about how things were going and the daily check in updates were just what we needed in order to know our dog was doing fine. For our particular middle class lifestyle, we would only use this type of service every once in a while.”

Thomas J.
“I’ve known Tom for over 30 years. He had numerous dogs over the years and you can just tell when someone is very good with dogs. Our dog started having an anxiety issue ( pulling the fur off his paw) when we needed to kennel him while on vacation. We left our dog with Tom a few times for a week, and we were very happy with how well our dog did while we were gone.”
