About: I had the pleasure of caring for and loving my two shelter (or, found outside in the cold) dogs for about 14 years. From puppyhood to senior years. I understand all stages and will meet their needs as required. I am a mom of four very active boys. I work mornings, Monday through Thursday, so I am free in the early afternoon. I am able to make my own schedule around sports, school, doctor's appointments, etc. My evenings are more busy than my afternoons. I will gladly make time during my day for some four-legged, furry friends. I will gladly come to your home to feed, let out, and/or walk your dog when you cannot. We can schedule an initial meeting to familiarize the dog and myself, and go from there.

“We met with Rachael the evening before her first time sitting with our dogs. She was very nice and seemed excited to doggie sit. I was happy to know that they were not stuck inside all day and that they had a chance to relieve themselves outside.”

“My animals were in such good hands with Amanda! Not only were all of their needs covered, the pictures that were shared showed how much fun they had while I was away as well! My search for a dog sitter is over, Amanda is the perfect choice.”
“Jeremy was an amazing sitter for our cats. He came first to make sure he got acquainted and knew where everything was.

Will definitely rebook with Jeremy.”
About: I’ve been an animal owner since I was 4 years old, and I’ve worked on a large and small animal farm for 10+ years. My mother was a vet tech so I’ve been trained in animal first aid. I’ve owned dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, poultry, rodents, fish, etc so I’m very experienced! With my college classes I have a few blocks of a couple hour breaks so I can fit pet care into these blocks and on weekends! In my home and in clients home I can do anything from feeding, watering, giving oral medication, walking, play, beginner training, basic first aid, bathing, senior care, and more!
About: I am experienced in senior care and puppy care as well as all ages in between! Administering medication is no problem either! I will always be a text away for any updates or questions! I am available evenings and night from 5pm-6am! During the summers I also have more availability so feel free to reach out and ask about and times and dates! I will care for your pets the way YOU want! I will do everything i can to make your pets feel comfortable and safe while you’re gone!
About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.
