“If this app had 1000 stars it wouldn’t be enough with my crazy work schedule , this couple is the greatest . I so much appreciate them being able to walk Gail while I’m working this nightshift .”
About: Taken care of cats, dogs, and lizards since I was old enough to drive. I love learning about each animals unique needs and their silly personalities. Flexible schedule as I work on my art portfolio. Other than volunteering and appointments, I've got plenty of time for walks or check ins on your furry friends I am unable to bring your furry friends to my place, but when coming over any house rules you've got I'll make sure to follow!
About: I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m also looking for a full time job right now. So I’m not booking anything for more than 2 weeks out. Sorry for any inconvenience. Right now I’m flexible and my job is flexible. I only work 2 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I will be trying to substitute teach more base on the need. But I would be gone no more than 8 hours. I walk the dog on side walk or on the road if it’s a busy neighborhood. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.
About: A lifelong animal lover, I enjoy romping through the woods with dogs, as well as sharing their company by a burning fire. I'm a freelance writer working from my home, so your hound has a constant companion in my care. The walks help me think while letting the dog burn off some energy. I'm also willing to travel to let your best friend out on a day-to-day basis, or overnights as necessary. Your cat, should he or she stay overnight, would receive lots of attention from two teenagers and a first-grader (even if the cat is indifferent to it). Our dogs have always been part of our family, and we'll treat your pet like one of our own. We look forward to meeting you and yours.
About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.
About: Book now before I update my prices on September 20, 2025! Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.
About: I’m the kind of person who gets excited every time I see a dog and I’ve been caring for them most of my life! I’ve had my own pups and have been dog sitting for family and friends since 8th grade. Every dog I meet gets the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. I currently work 2 part time jobs. Caring for your furry friend, on their schedule, will fit perfectly into my schedule! I have a rotating nights schedule so I have every other weekend off with only 2 nights during the week! In my home, my animals are treated like family, I’d love to do the same for yours! I am great at following their schedule and listening to their needs because I believe they deserve care like you never left!
About: Hi there! I bring a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of animals - from horses and chickens to cats, dogs, birds, and pocket pets. During my 13-year career as a veterinary technician, I developed deep expertise in animal care. Now that I work remotely, I have more flexibility to share my passion and knowledge by helping other pet parents care for their furry family members. At home, my husband and I have our own little menagerie: a goofy Rottweiler and two sweet cats (both of whom found their way to us through my work at veterinary hospitals). I absolutely love spending my free time taking long walks with our Rottie through the beautiful parks around Midland and Freeland, and playing with her in our backyard. I'd be thrilled to provide that same dedicated care and attention to your pets too! I own my business which is ran remotely so I’m in control of my schedule:) I am able to be flexible on my daily routine to make time for your pet. I’ll follow your guidelines on how you want your pet cared for and handled in your home and on walks. During the warmer months, I’ll offer off leach time, with my friendly pooch in our 1/2 acre fenced yard as well if this interest you and your pet is social & enjoys playing outside.

About: I've taken care of all the family dogs growing up, we had chihuahuas and a mix of larger breed dogs as well. I have also had a pit bull for six years and now I have a very energetic labradoodle that I am mostly responsible for. I do majority of his training and all his care, 100% he is a momma's boy. I currently have no job and am looking for ways to make money and also enjoy my time. I absolutely love dogs so being able to walk your pup, or do a drop in to make sure they are happy and fed is the perfect opportunity for me! I am experienced with big dogs that pull, so I can handle pullers. I can also do drop in visits to your home to feed and/or take your dog out. I am honest and trustworthy, and will always treat your dog and house with respect and love.
About: I have been dog sitting for approximately 10 years for all different dogs. I treat all dogs as my own and welcome them into my home! Neighbors, friends, and strangers have all relied on me to take care of their special animals while they are away. I am open to walks, taking dogs to the park, or to animal friendly stores. I am also willing to give bathes! I am very active and would love to be part of your dogs daily exercise routine! I work 3-4 days a week so my days off vary and am able to be home all day on my days off of work. I also have great availability to walk dogs all day long if you need your special pet to get exercise while you are gone. I love to exercise, and enjoy taking dogs on walks to many different parks. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs are able to play in and a safe neighborhood for walks, with many dog parks. All dogs will receive the exercise they need.
About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)
About: I've always had a dog growing up that I loved and cared for. When I turned 16, I started dog sitting and walking. I have cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I do work full time Tuesday to Friday. So I'm mostly available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I may be available on other days too if you reach out to me with more details (approximate location of your home and/or how often your dog would need to be let out). I am extremely responsible and I have been trusted by many people to take care of their dogs. I can do drop in visits and sitting at your home.
