About: I’ve worked in the pet care industry for three years. That’s given me the opportunity to care for almost every breed, I’ve seen every temperament. I absolutely can confidently care all shapes and sizes! With my current job, I have a break in between shifts. I’m available morning, mid day, and also nights/evenings. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m able to accommodate many requests. I am willing to follow whatever routine you normally have at home! Anything that gives your pet a peace of mind and keeps them comfortable while you’re away!

About: I'm educated and trained on how to work with Greyhounds. At an East Coast Rescue group, I learned to feel comfortable around their temperament and their body language. I'm the wife of a retired Army veteran. I also make coats, collars, and leashes for Greyhounds. Rescues melt my heart, especially Pit Bulls and Bulldogs. They're getting extra hugs and care from me. I am going to school online so I am very flexible in my schedule. Potty walks or just letting them out in the afternoon to run around. If I am at someone's house pet sitting I would keep the respect and keep the area of where the dogs clean.. If there was a mess I would clean it up. I would respect your policy and wishes at your house.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was 10. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a laid-back senior, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away! I have free availability for the summer as I am home from college break. I am open to helping out on weekends or over the holidays! Always keeping an eye on a pet is the most importante thing because in any second something could happen. Pets are like children and need strong supervision!

“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat and was an overall pleasure to work with! She genuinely cares about each pet and pays attention to detail. She also does an incredible job communicating and keeping you updated on how your baby is doing during her stay and she sends lots of cute photos too! Your fur babies will be in excellent hands with her!”


“Riley is awesome!! Very very friendly, kind and caring. She took extra time with my dog. Shared plenty of photos and messages. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again...100%!!”


About: I have years of experience with animals going back as far as 5 years old. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and even different types of birds. I've always loved teaching animals new tricks, cuddling, towing watching them get the zoomies outside. Animals can be a lot of fun when you let them experience different environments and aspects of life. I also had a job at a pet boarding place. The consisted of being outside with the dogs in runs, playing with them, cleaning the rooms and more. I have 2 dogs at home. One boxer and one german shepard. I work a lot so when i'm home I try to spend as much time with them as I can when I am home. One of the things my german shepard likes to do is chase water from the hose, so during the summer time, we do that a lot. On the other hand, Tyson is a little bit older but he still gets the zoomies, he likes to playfully growl outside but then when he's done, he likes to sun bathe lol. To include all this, I also have 2 guinea pigs who need lots of attention. I try to bring them out of the cage by 1 everyday to spend quality time with them because they're very loving. They enjoy being outside and eating the clover, they sure do appreciate when they get their veggies! They need their nails trimmed about once a week so I do keep up with that. Bathing them isn't a high priority since they just like cats and bathe themselves but a bath once every 3-4 months will be perfect. Our dog tyson, tends to get scared of storms really easily, so when this happens I try to comfort him as much as possible wether that's putting on his jacket, letting him up on my bed because he's scared and needs some cuddles.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little girl. I’m offering to play with, walk, and care for your pets when you are busy. Throughout our time together I will send thorough updates as well as photos. I also have experience volunteering at a humane society, working at a vets office, and working at a grooming salon so I understand dog behaviors and overall care. I am doing this part time during weekdays and select weekends as I am a full time college student. I will be available as needed, as long as I have a few days of warning. I currently have one beagle with high anxiety and look after five other dogs of different breeds and sizes at varying times. I am invested in insuring your pet is comfortable and happy while also following any restrictions or rules that you have set forth. Otherwise its belly scratches, snuggles, and play time galore!

“Anna was wonderful. We just moved and needed a short notice sitter. She worked with me on logistics and kept our three dogs healthy and happy for a few days while we were gone. She updated us with pictures every day and kept me posted on how the dogs were doing and behaving. I am so glad that we found a great sitter so soon!”

About: Hello there my name is Brittany and I'm a 29 year old warm hearted and caring mother with a good head on her shoulders. Im a stay at home mom and a full time student working on my associates degree in human services. I love animals of all kinds and sizes and would take more than perfect care for yours. I have a 4 year old animal loving little girl and a 13 year old female fixed and UTD cat, 1 year old mix breed female dog the both get along with everything. Your little or big ones would definitely be in good hands and paws here. My home is there home and its filled with love and laughter. Hope to hear from you soon about your sweet fur babies.

I treat every animal as if they were my own in every way. My home is their home and they should always feel comfortable and welcome.

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. From fish, to farms, kittens, to cattle, dogs, and beared dragons, I love them all! I can help keep your furry baby safe and comfortable when you aren’t able to! I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule. I have 2 friendly dogs that are neutered and up to date on their shots. I would love to have a furry friend come hang out or I can take a nice break with your baby at your house! We have a large yard on a country road. Our yard is not fenced in. I am diligent to keep our dogs leashed. I have limited neighbors who do not own animals.
