About: When my friends go on vacation, I am the first person they call to petsit! Animals warm up to my calm demeaner quickly, and I've been told by pet owners that their shy animals have never been so friendly to a new person so fast before. I have experience caring for cats & kittens, dogs, and birds. I am very patient and gentle with animals, seeking to understand their physical and vocal cues to know what they need. I am also an expert at playing fetch and tug of war with dogs, and my expertise with cat feather wands means the cat usually gets tired before I do. I love walking, so it's a bonus if your pup wants to come with! I am a graduate student at St. Thomas with a part-time tutoring job during the school year, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to care for your pet. This means that I can spend time during the day, night, and weekend with your pet, including returning home for potty or play breaks in between tutoring or classes, depending on the needs of your pet. I am also available to stay overnight with your pet, so long as they don't mind helping me with my homework! I am vigilant and aware while pet sitting, making sure I know where your pet is and never leaving any doors, gates, or windows open. For example, my friend lives in an apartment and has two kittens who like to escape into the hallway, so I also create a barrier when I open his front door to ensure they stay inside. His windows also don't have screens, so I make sure they are always shut and locked up tight. I love interacting with and talking with animals when they are around, so even if I am busy working on my own projects, I'll take frequent breaks to catch up with your pets and give them attention.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions and medications. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind. I work a flexible hybrid schedule - 3 days in office, 2 days at home. When we leave our dog home alone to roam the house Monday - Friday, she is alone 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 with a mid-day lunch and potty break. We have a 2-year-old 75 lb Pyredoodle who LOVES to play and wrestle, so your dog will have a built-in buddy. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and exercise. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. Our home is smoke-free and kid-free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my entire life. We offer a loving home near walking paths and parks. Also have neighbors with very friendly dogs if you allow play time I recently retired, and have an open schedule. My wife is allergic to cats and dogs, so any overnight stays, we recommend your dog is non-allergic and non-shedding If non overnight stays, and walks, a shedding dog is welcome. Our previous dog was a golden doodle, which we were fortunate to spend 12 glorious years Looking forward to spending time with your pet. We have a nice big fenced in yard for run around playtime’s, We know your pet is an extension of your family, and we will treat with utmost respect and care, fenced in yard offers a lot of exercise if your dog needs it. There is walking trails and 2 doggie parks if that is something your dog likes to do.

I'm able to read body language and anticipate needs. I love walking and playing outside. Lost dogs have been able to trust me to help them find their way home since I was a kid. Animals love me as much as I love them 💕 I'm available to take care of your pets when needed, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do so. I love animals and hope to help others take care of their animals. Having a calm and quiet personality has always allowed animals to feel safe and secure around me. I'm able to care for them by showing genuine affection towards them. My current living situation does not all for me to have pets and I'm looking forward to loving and taking care of yours as I would my own.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them, walk them, and kept them company. I'm detail oriented and do my best to do everything according to direction. I'd be happy to help take care of your animal. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to work with your pets! I'm available most days, best in the afternoon. I'm detail oriented and will make sure your dogs are leashed or harnessed the way they should be. When I'm walking I try to be very aware of my surroundings and will keep up that care with your dogs.

I work full time but have a flexible schedule where I can accommodate your pet(s). I am available some week days and most weekends, including holidays.

About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around a veterinary clinic and have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 7 years, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through both clinic work and pet sitting, I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious or nervous animals, and working with puppies who may need extra supervision, potty breaks, patience, or routine reinforcement. I recently graduated from Bradley University and currently have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can work around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need more frequent check-ins, senior pets who may need extra attention, and puppies who benefit from structured routines and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I also love keeping owners updated and am happy to send regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. Because of my 7 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable reading animal behavior, administering medications, handling nervous pets, and responding calmly in stressful situations if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, walk schedules, potty routines, and any special care requests so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who believes every pet deserves to be treated with patience, respect, and genuine care. Reliability, safety, and integrity are at the core of everything I do, so you can trust that your pets will be cared for as if they were my own. Before transitioning into animal care, I spent over a decade serving my community as a firefighter and paramedic. During that time, I not only cared for people during emergencies but also had the privilege of rescuing animals from fires and other emergency situations. I also completed Basic Animal Rescue Technician (BART) training, giving me additional knowledge in safely handling and caring for animals during stressful situations. Those experiences reinforced the importance of remaining calm under pressure, paying close attention to details, and treating every life with compassion and respect. I've spent years around dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including training my own service dog using positive, relationship-based methods. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take a calm, mindful approach to building trust and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a senior dog, a shy rescue, or another type of animal altogether, I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets and adapting to their individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable care, clear communication, and peace of mind while you're away, ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Throughout my career—whether caring for people or now caring for animals—my philosophy has remained the same: show up when it matters, pay attention to the details, and treat every life with kindness, respect, and compassion. I can be pretty flexible and adaptable to your scheduling needs, and I'm open to having things set up on a recurring schedule, or filling last minute needs when I'm available and not tied up in family matters. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and minimizes stress. Whether we're out on a walk or spending time together at home, I use a calm, patient approach that helps pets feel safe and secure. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your home and your animals with the utmost respect. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, while maintaining a clean and secure environment. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to be someone you can trust completely—providing dependable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind and ensuring your pets are treated like members of my own family.

About: I had dogs growing up and I currently have my own dog. Iv taken care of two litters of puppies. Our family pug had puppies and so did our springer spaniel. We also had a chocolate lab. My current dog is a 1 year old Rottweiler. He is so much fun! Iv been walking dogs for about a year using Wag. I have a full time job and I take care of pets part time. Im usually available after 3pm everyday. I try to walk at least 3 dogs a week. I truly love dogs, all dogs. I will give your dog my full attention while we walk together, meaning I give eye contact, call their name in a playful way, and give them treats (with owner’s permission) and water if they listen to my commands. They will see me as their source of entertainment while getting a great exercise. I will walk or run depending on what your dog wants. Your dog will be very safe with me, I’m strong enough to handle any dog and I double check the harness is secure and double wrap the lease around my wrist.

About: As far back into my childhood as I can recall, my immediate and extended family has always had dogs and other pets as well. To this day I think it still hold true that our pets are so much more than just pets and with that being said it’s so important they are treated with as much care and love we would treat someone else in our family. It can be frightening leaving your pet in someone else’s hands when you have to be away however that’s why I hope you’ll choose me and put your trust in my hands with your pet. I have had the opportunity of being old enough to help my parents raise the dogs that we had growing up as well as in recent years adding a cat and bearded dragon in to the mix as well. My summer schedule is overall flexible and allows me to be more available and present with any pets I am caring for at the time. I personally have a fenced in yard and two decks for the dog to go off of to spend time outside. While visiting clients homes I’d prefer to not have to stay over as packing/running back and forth is slightly inconvenient however I am not opposed to this option depending on my schedule for that week.
