About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
About: Besides having dogs growing up and caring for them throughout life I also volunteer at the humane society as a dog walker where we were trained on different levels of every, aggression, and size on how best to interact and care for them. I work a sales job so while often busy during normal business hours I do have flexibility throughout the day as I travel for different customers and end the day/start the day at different times depending on the customers preference. I am patient and would love to give your pet the utmost attention and care during walks or visits to make sure they are not stressed and happy.
“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 9 years old, our house was always the go-to sitters for the neighborhood. I love and care for all animals as if they were my own. From walks to feeding to bath time, I have experience in all areas of pet care. I am currently a full time student in college although I do spend weekends at home. I have no job at the moment and wanted to explore my passion for animals this summer and plan to continue throughout the school year. I have two dogs of my own and two cats at my house so I have experience in different types of pets. We have raised our dogs since pups and trained them so I have experience in all age ranges. I am willing and able to follow the instructions given by the pet parent to care for their pet as best I can.
“Amazing! kirsten took great care of my pup/daughter/princess and made sure she was always smiling and well hydrated on hot days. As a new young professional to the area Kirsten has been able to adjust her schedule to help me when I have to travel at a moment’s notice. Once again, does an amazing job!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. My experience ranges from caring for my neighbor’s elderly deaf & blind poodle to my best friend’s King Charles cavalier puppy. I currently work in a consulting role and create my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility daily to help take care of your pet. I will listen and follow whichever care instructions you deem to be best for your pet. I am happy to also send photo updates of your pet!
About: Hello i’m Ally! I currently work from home and have owned dogs my entire life! I have also cared for animals within my previous neighborhood as well as volunteering at local pet shelters. I babysat for a family for 3 summers that had two dogs and have experience navigating walks with multiple dogs. I currently work from home and have extra time in my day to care for your pet/pets! I am very flexible with day to day changes in your schedule. As I live in a small apartment currently, I do not have a pet of my own, however, my family has 2 dogs and a cat that I care for. I take animal sitting and care very seriously, not only for your animal, but for myself as well.
“Michael and his wife took my concerns about my dog seriously and were very responsive and patient with me. It helped me enjoy my trip more not having as much stress about my dog’s needs.”
About: I’ve grown up with both pit bulls and cats, and I’ve loved them all! Whether it’s playing with my friends’ pets or stopping to give a stranger’s dog some love, animals always brighten my day. I’d be thrilled to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working only part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I’m also available most weekends, so please reach out at your convenience and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and routines, because consistency helps pets feel secure. I give them plenty of love, play, and attention while also being extra careful about their safety—whether that means double-checking doors and gates, keeping an eye out on walks, or making sure they always have fresh water. My goal is to provide the same caliber of care that I’d want for my own pets, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
