About: My entire life I've grown up around cats and dogs, always having at least one. I get along better with dogs than cats, but I love both equally. My pets have loved me, and even animals I first meet tend to like me right away. I'm also used to house sitting and pet sitting for my parents. I'm currently between jobs so I have nothing but time. My current house is yet to be pet friendly, so unfortunately I can't board, but I'm willing to travel to pet sit or just feed and walk the animals. I will follow whatever routine the animals have set to the letter, and whatever instructions I'm left. The animals' needs are always my top priority.

About: I have always loved dogs and have owned dogs my entire adult life. I have had the honor of caring for two litters of puppies. To experience the journey from birth to 8 weeks old is absolutely amazing. My pets have always been treated like my family and I could never imagine not having pets in my life. I am retired military and stay home to be there for my kids. I love having the flexibility to care for animals and my family. I am willing and available to care for your pets just like they were my own. Whatever your wishes are for your pets, I can make sure it happens.

She is the BEST! She comes over twice a week to play with my girls since I work long hours. She always sends me updates and lots of pictures for me. She cares so much about my pups and always makes sure they get to go potty and play at the park on her visits. I also love how she makes sure the ground isn't too hot before walking them and keeping me updated through the day. She is also extremely responsive and never leaves me waiting. I wouldnt want anyone else walking my girls!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 and have been pet and house sitting for the last 10 years. I love taking energetic pups on long walks or playing fetch in a secure yard, and I’m equally comfortable creating cozy spaces for senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own (one large, one medium), and I’m experienced with administering medications—even to picky ones who need a creative touch. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters off and on since 2020 and have worked with reactive and anxious dogs who may require extra time to warm up to strangers. I love spending time with both dogs and cats, and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a full‑time freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day between 8 AM and 11 PM, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit. My open schedule also allows me to accommodate last‑minute bookings, so you can count on me even when plans change unexpectedly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the routines your cats and dogs already know so they feel secure and comfortable. I follow your feeding, walking, play, and litter box instructions, keep their spaces clean, and make sure your home stays tidy and secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether that’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or anything in between—and I work to make every visit calm, safe, and stress‑free.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid. I also have watched dogs for my friends. My two oldest daughters head off to college this August. My youngest daughter, she will be 12 in September, loves all animals, but especially dogs. I am looking for a way to have more dogs in our house for my daughter to play with. We have one dog, Marley. However, my mom lives next door and she has two dogs, Daisy and Zoe. They visit often. But when we are watching other dogs, they will not visit. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe environment for your pup while you are away. I am able to watch your fury family member any weekend during the school year or June/July over the summer. I am not available: July 6-9 After July 30, I am back at school. I am available to watch your fury family member Friday (after 3:30) until Sunday evening (anytime.) I have a pool for them to swim in and and fully fenced in area around my house. I have about 40 acres we can take leashed walks on if you would like. We do have a few cows and a horse on the extended acreage. My lab/beagle mix loves to play with dogs. She plays well with both small and large dogs.

Shannon was absolutely amazing with Beau while I was away! 🐾💕 She treated him as if he were her own and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. She was attentive, dependable, and went above and beyond in every way. Shannon sent so many sweet pictures and videos, kept me updated, and even surprised Beau with a squeaky toy 🥹. It was so clear how genuinely she cares for animals, and Beau looked so happy, comfortable, and loved in her care. I truly could not have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly trust her again. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for compassionate, trustworthy, and reliable pet care. Thank you again for taking such incredible care of my sweet boy! 🥰

About: Use code ANAG68736 to get $20 off your first booking! As a dog mom of two, I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. Dogs in my care are treated like family not like they’re at a kennel. They are free to relax around the house, cuddle, play, and be part of our daily routine. I do not crate dogs unless specifically requested by the owner, and guest dogs sleep in our room alongside our own dogs so they feel comfortable, secure, and never alone. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours and receive constant supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, affection, and personalized care based on their individual needs and personalities. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs can always be separated if your pup prefers their own space. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain a calm and clean environment, and provide regular photo/video updates so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is with us. I truly care for every dog as if they were my own, and I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free from the moment you book with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home part-time, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your pet will never be left unattended for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are well-socialized; they can always be separated if your pet prefers solo space. I follow all owner instructions closely, use leashes on walks, and maintain a calm, clean environment. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, responsible care with constant supervision.
