About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've taken care of all manner of pets. From cats and dogs, all the way down to small critters. I do vest with dogs, but no critter is too much work for me. I have experience in administering medication, preventing altercations, and handling emergencies like illness or injury. I'm currently looking for work as a whole. The road to getting jobs, part-time or full-time, has been very long. I've had good jobs in the past! But as of now, I'm free every day aside from Thursdays. Day, night, I'm happy to do whatever is necessary for your pet. Boarding will be a small challenge for me, as I do live in a duplex. I don't have a fenced in-yard, but there is a few parks that I'm more than willing to take dogs to, and my home is very clean

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. My family has always had animals, dogs and cats included, so I learned how to be friendly with them before I could walk. I’m currently working in a remote position, so my hours are very flexible regarding pet care. I’m available during the day for your dog or cat, to feed them, play with them, and take care of them. On weekends I am available to work longer hours, depending on what needs your furry friends have! I make sure my pets are always fed and have water available. My dog is high energy, so I make sure I play with her and give that outlet she needs. Grooming her also happens routinely, to ensure she is not only mentally take care of, but physically as well.

About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!

“Daisee’s profile focus on dog sitting but she is also a great cat sitter! She was punctual, offered references when I asked her, got along great with my cat, and (bonus) kept my plants alive. I definitely recommend her!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life! I love dog walking, dog sitting and all things pup related! I have a short history with dog training as I attended classes with my pups! I would love to be your dogs home away from home! I work as a medical assistant at SBA and am allowed an hour lunch every day, as well as having weekends totally off. I enjoy being up early so I can provide ample time for being available! I live in a beautiful neighborhood with a large fenced in backyard.

About: Becoming a dog mom totally changed the game for me, I’ve always loved dogs, but now I truly get how special they are. Whether it’s puppies with zoomies or senior dogs who just want a slow stroll and some love, I’m here for it all. I’m super patient, love being outside, and have a blast training, playing, and walking pups of all ages. I’ve done months of dog training courses and learned how to handle many situations whether that’s walking, playing games, getting your dog used to new people, etc. Your dog will get lots of love, fresh air, and maybe even a new best friend (me!). I’m currently looking to dog sit over the summer while I search for a full-time position, so my schedule is super flexible! I’m available most days and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening needs—just let me know what works best for you and your pup! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. That means sticking to their routines, following any special instructions carefully, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m also mindful of keeping your home clean, secure, and well-maintained, just like I do with my own space. You can trust that I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both your pets and your home

About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born, so I’ve gotten to learn a lot about taking care of them! Over the years friends and family have allowed me to take care of their fur babies and have never been disappointed. I don’t mind giving baths, and I will do most everything else you need me to do! I’m currently working remotely, so I am available to play, walk, and feed your pups at anytime you may need me! I can board your pups anytime after 12pm! I have a fenced in yard with a COVERED pool that dogs and people can walk on! I also have three other small dogs to keep your animal company during their time here! If needed, I can put your pups in a crate, take them on long walks/runs, and anything else. I can also travel to your pups home if needed!

About: I have been taking care of dogs other than my own since I was about 8. Family, friends and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets whenever they need. I am comfortable with any size, age, or breed of dog there is! I have went through training with my dog, so I know what its like to take care of any dog from highly energized to very lazy, untrained or highly trained. I have taken care of two litters of puppies at the same time - 16 total puppies! - so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am currently taking online college classes full-time and working part-time, so I have plenty of extra time to spend with your pets, whether that is going on walks or just hanging out while I do my schoolwork! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old doggo at home if needed to keep your pet entertained. I also have a dog park and plenty of room to go on walks or runs with your pet. I like to stay active so I try to take my dog out on 1-2 walks a day since he needs his exercise!

I currently have one dog of my own who is spoiled with toys and loves to CONSTANTLY play so I can definitely keep up if they are high energy. I love going on walks or simply playing catch in the backyard. You will never have to worry about your animal not getting enough attention, if anything they might get to much! :)

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

“Shadow and Jasmine were well taken care of while I was gone. They were well taken care of and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy. Seeing the pictures were great. Will use her service again”


About: I am flexible with pricing. I have had experience with all kinds of dogs including aggressive, dog selective, dog aggressive, anxiety, medications, and more. I take in dogs that need it and watch any and every dog I can. I have watched many breeds including cane corsos, pit bulls, labs, mixed breeds, German shepherd, chihuahua, lab mixes, Catahoula, and taken care of hundreds at a vet. I have had dogs my whole life and working at a vet for a few years and love taking care of them, giving them love, and giving them what the personally need. I love taking care of dogs the way they need. If dogs love toys more than love I will find a way to play with them and their toys, if they love training I will run through their tricks with them and teach them easy fun tricks. My husky doesn’t like attention that much but love exploring and learning things so we go to the lake and explore and my favorite trick he knows is beep beep which is back up or whose your best friend and he hits them. I watch dogs all the time and do what the owner wants and what the dog is comfortable with. If they love sleeping in their cage then I will put them in their cage but otherwise they can sleep where they want. My husky is a cage dog and will put himself in there and so is my younger dog. But my old corso sleeps with me and my husband. I work Monday Wednesday Friday. I am free all day on my days off. I’m the days I work I can watch dogs at my house but they can only be let out when I’m home. I work from 4am -5pm so my husband would have to let them out in the mornings, I can let them out at lunch and then when I get off we would usually go do something at the lake or walks or go to bomgaars. I do what my dogs are comfortable with. I feed them in the morning and then at night. Two of them sleep in the cages because they are more comfortable that way and the other one sleeps with me. My dogs are very well trained and good with people and dogs. None of my dogs react if the other dog snaps at them. My puppy is submissive so he lays down and my old dog comes to me. The husky just goes on about his business. I worked at a vet so I know how to handle a lot of situations and know what not to do.

About: I am currently working in the Veterinary field as a Kennel technician. I take care of many different animals all day by walking, feeding, bathing, observing their health, etc! I am currently in school to get my liscence to become a veterinary nurse from Colby Community College. I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. Cats, dogs, rodents, farm animals, you name it! I own 2 cats, and a chinchilla. I currently work part time, as I am a college student, so I do have plenty of time to watch over your animals! I will hopefully be getting a full time job soon, so my hours will most likely be set to weekends within a few months. I do not offer services at my home, as I have pets myself. But I am trained in taking care of your animals to ensure that they are as stress free as possible. Having a fenced in yard would be fantastic, but if you do not have one that is fine too!

Cheyenne W.
“Cheyenne loves animals and considers them family. Our family had a cat and two dogs. And once she entered college we often would travel and leave the pets with her. She dealt with two hyper dogs and an old cat needing daily medication. She has always been reliable, followed guidelines for care, and never missed a dose of medication. Our pets are our fur babies and we are extremely careful leaving them with anyone family or not, she makes the cut of only a few that we trust.”

We traveled to Florida over Christmas to deliver her brother’s dog to him and she cared for Deuce the entire time he was in the care. She entertained him and took him for walks when we stopped for breaks. She would be an awesome pet sitter or walker.”
