About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

About: I genuinely, whole heartedly love animals. Have worked with animals (grooming, walking, feeding) since 15, work with young & senior also give meds & arthritis massages. Patient, kind, loving and ready to spread my love for animals. Have worked at Kennelwood, No Leash needed, Camp Bow Wow and volunteer at the humane society. All animals deserve love. I’m available to house sit or pop in for walks, I start my new job 8-4 M-F so available anytime to house sit during the week & weekend would just be out during that time if house sitting. I love to go for walks and play so your baby will definitely be stimulated with me around! If you have toys or treats I will keep them entertained and work with whatever training goals you have for them. If a tail isn’t wagging it’s my goal to get it to!
“…simply amazing!!! Taylor thank you for providing our fur baby with the love and care he needed during our vacation. Our fur baby enjoyed you, he was happy in the photos and videos. We thank you and will gladly utilize your services again!”

About: I have watched dogs of all sizes from about 7 lbs to 120. My best friend has two Great Pyrenees who I watch and play with all the time. I had a Shih Tzu for about 12 years that I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking to the vet to keep vaccinations updated. I also have watched my aunts Yorkie multiple times. Being on summer break gives me lots of time for any responsibilities necessary. I am a teacher on summer break so right now I can give your dog/dogs lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to go for walks. I have no dogs at this time as I just put my last dog down in September. I have lots of time for walks, love and will be able to feed them whenever needed. My goal is to keep them on their normal routines to ensure they are comfortable.

“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”


About: Animals have been my life since I was a child. Watching my mom take care of dogs at the local shelters and every animal she had taken care of in my childhood has left wonderful memories. Spending time with animals was always amazing because they felt more a part of the family. I’ve taken care of friends and family animals, and made wonderful bonds with them. I see my own pets as more than just animals, but as my own children and any pet that I take care of that’s not mine I treat as if they are. I recently moved to this state so currently this will be my only occupation until I find something else. Then I'll be part time care. always check in for any health and food necessities. Check and see if they are an indoor or outdoor animal to be more prepared for walks.
“Lindsay and her children were so kind, came for a meet and greet with our large group of campers which was above and beyond. Josie was a happy girl! Wpuld definitely book again when in this area!”

About: I have always loved dogs from puppies to senior dogs they all deserve a treat and a belly rub.

I am currently working part time giving me flexibility to be able to take on more house sitting stays! I love getting to know new areas and animals I am working on saving so making extra money house sitting is a great pass time and I get to get out of living with my family. I like to build relationships with the animals I watch I know they need to get to know me and smell me or they may run right up on me. I take my dog out every 3-4 hours as needed, she eats 2 times a day I try to keep her clean by wiping her feet coming into the course when wet or dirty,
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.
About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 6+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I am currently stay home mom and I have plenty of time taking care of the pups. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, I love dogs and have two dogs of my own - toy poodle and golden doodle and have large fenced yard with pet friendly neighborhood. Pups safety is my priority.

About: I have taken care of different sized dogs since I was a teen. I have experience in hand feeding and drinking for dogs who are ill. Taught dogs to walk on a leash, and basic commands and tricks with my own dogs. Experienced with Australian Shepherds, Australian Kelpies, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, and mixed breed small dogs. Dogs have different energy levels so you have to adapt care to their specific age and breed. I do not walk dogs in the heat of the day or if the pavement is to hot so your furry friend can stay healthy. I prefer to walk your companion early in the morning or in the evening. I am currently retired and looking for ways to fill my time doing things that I love! I have a lot of time to spend with your fur baby! I do not leave small dogs unattended when going out in a yard even if it is fenced. I do not walk dogs in the heat of the day in the or if the pavement is too hot to the touch. My dog is currently recovering from a illness and she is being hand fed and at times drinking from your hand. She is older so we walk at her pace. We take all of our dogs to obedience classes and work with them regularly so they are good dog citizens. Water is always left out and I encourage the dog to drink after walks. I follow the feeding instructions given by friends and family members for their pet's. Treats are given at training and when we leave to go somewhere. Myself and my husband are the people who pick up a lost dog if they allow us to and take them home or to shelter so they can be reunited with their families.
