About: I volunteer at a local animal shelter and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable working with young animals, fresh litters of puppies, pregnant dogs, senior pets, and everything in between. I understand that every pet has unique needs and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently giving softball lessons, but because it is a self made schedule, I have plenty of availability to check in on your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I prioritize safety, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

“Heather went above and beyond for my furball...appreciate your time with him and last minute availability! Will definitely book in the future for needs! Thanks again Heather! 💜”

About: I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs for two years, and I really enjoy it. It’s an activity that makes me happy. I am currently available on weekends, but I can review your specific needs. I will take your pet for walks, play with them, and care for them with affection. I don't have a fenced yard, but I care for and walk the animal with great attention. I don't have any pets of my own—just two children, aged 6 and 10, who love animals. My home is very spacious and comfortable.

About: I am available to let your dog get the attention and exercise it needs while you are away. I am available to make drop in visits to feed, walk, and spend time with your pups. I grew up with dogs and I've been a passionate dog lover and owner for 20+ years. Currently I have a high energy chocolate lab and Husky Corgi mix, which means I have the energy to get our high energy fur friends the exercise they need on a regular basis. I have personal experience (and the patience it takes) with training dogs the basics. I used the clicker training method with my lab. I'm a photographer and stay at home mom looking to fill in my time with fur friends. Contact me with any questions, I would be happy to help you and your fur-babies out. I am currently a stay at home mom and part time photographer so I wil have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. I am available to travel to your home and care for your furry friends. I am able to let them out, play with them and feed them.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with both cats and dogs. Over the past 7 years, I’ve consistently provided dog sitting and pet care for family members, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience with dogs of different energy levels and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and maintaining structure so they feel secure and well cared for. Whether your dog is very active or more relaxed, I adjust to their needs and routine. My partner and I work together to provide reliable evening and weekend care, so your dog gets consistent attention and is never rushed during visits. We especially enjoy dog walks and making sure your dog gets the exercise and care they need. We’re also comfortable with multiple dogs in one household, the more the merrier! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. We’re both available in the evenings after work (starting around 5:30 PM) and have open availability on weekends, which allows us to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. We plan our schedule carefully to ensure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve, without rushing between visits. Because we work as a team, we’re able to stay organized, communicate clearly, and make sure every visit is completed on time. We’re happy to accommodate recurring schedules or one-time visits and always aim to be flexible while maintaining dependable routines for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, we always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, and any special care needs. We make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and keep a close eye on your pet during visits and walks. We take the time to build trust with each pet, moving at their pace; whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. We also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. As a two person team, we communicate with each other to ensure nothing is missed and every visit is handled with care and attention to detail. We treat every home with respect and make sure everything is left exactly as we found it

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!

About: I have a Bachelor’s in Zoology. I was a zookeeper for 8yrs, vet assistant for 2yrs, manager of a boarding/daycare facility, manager of a veterinary clinic kennel and manager of a dog rescue. I’ve done it all! Medicate. Groom. Feed. Socialize. Exercise. Train. I am currently in the process of finding a new job, so my schedule is very flexible. My two daughters are in school full time also, so my days are very open. I have a fenced yard where I socialize my dog with other dogs regularly. I clip nails, bathe, feed and medicate my dog, 2 cats and care for my fish!

“Brennah was awesome!! She was very attentive to Pacha and came to check on him at a moments notice when my flight was delayed to come home, which I was super grateful for. I greatly appreciate her kindness. I would recommend her to everyone!”

“Sarah is the very best! She is caring, thorough, patient and professional. I am always confident she will handle every aspect of my puppy and kitty’s care with love and professionalism. I give her my highest recommendation.”

Deborah K.

“Ken did such a great job taking care of our pup Kato over the weekend. He updated us with countless photos and messages. I completely felt at peace knowing Kato was in good hands while we were away. Updates consisted of feedings, walks and fetch! Thanks so much Ken for making your way out. 10/10 service!”

About: What truly sets me apart is my deep personal experience with special-needs pets. As the proud owner of a blind dog, I understand firsthand that visually impaired pets don't just need a sitter—they need someone who can speak their language and navigate their world. I'm currently working part-time for the summer until late August. As a part-time worker, pet care fits easily into my day. I anchor the routine with a solid morning walk and feeding before my shift, which allows my pet to rest while I’m away. My afternoons and evenings are dedicated to a second feeding and exercise. On my days off, I dedicate extra time to cleaning pet areas and longer outings. Routine is so important for a pet's well-being, I am highly adaptable to unique needs. For senior pets or pets with sensory limitations—such as blindness—I take extra care to keep their environment entirely predictable. In my home, I ensure the layout remains identical so they can navigate safely, and in the client's home, I follow their exact setup. I use gentle voice and touch cues to avoid startling them, maintaining a calm, structured routine so they always feel secure and cared for.

About: I have had pets my entire life. From dogs of all sizes to cats and fish. I also have experience with diabetic dogs and nail trimming. Besides owning three dogs and a cat currently, I have also worked as an animal foster which means our pets and kids are used to new animals. I work full time as a teacher, but I would love to help you out after 4 Thursdays, through Sundays. During June, July, August I can also do morning and day visits 7 days a week. We have a fenced in yards all of our pets are friendly and up to date on vaccinations. I am very detail oriented and will follow your directions to the letter. I also love to send images so you know your fur baby is safe.

About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets, small pets, aggressive/anxious pets, timid pets. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.
