About: I had a golden retriever when i was little girl, and my love for dogs exploded! I have experience with young puppies to older dogs. Playing fetch and walking are my favorite activities to see doggie tails wagging! 😊 I currently work part time and go to college part time. I have plenty of time to take care of your loving fur babies and make them always feel at home! I cannot do pet sitting at home, but I am more than comfortable staying at your home and taking care of your furry animal! Safety comes first!

“Thank you so much Megan for coming on short notice doing a meet and greet and being able to walk Hazel on the same day. She really enjoyed her walk.”

“Anthony is honestly the best. He has been walking them for a couple months now and they LOVE IT. He is so happy to see them and is very particular and diligent about reporting on cards and making sure they have a great (and tiring) time. I am SO GLAD I found him and will definitely continue using his services.”

“Sophia was very professional and had great time management! She did such a good job with our dog and went above and beyond to make sure our girl was happy! We would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”

“Nikki has been great with my young dog. She has walked/dropped in to check on him during two separate occasions when he was healing from surgery or other procedures from the vet. She is great about sending updates for when she is on the way to my house and on my dog’s mood that day. She is very good at reading him and judging whether he wanted to walk that day or just hang out in the backyard. I recommend Nikki for drop in visits or dog walks.”

About: Hi! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years! I have my own 5 year old mixed pup who is my world, I would love to help care for your paw-family in the same way! I have experience with giving medication, high energy, senior dogs, and puppies. I also come with an understanding that each pet is unique and will handle each situation with care. Feel free to reach out if you think I can be of help, thank you! I am currently working a full time job, but I am out of work by 2:30 on weekdays. I am available for walks, play dates, or potty breaks for those working longer hours! My weekends are also free for boarding or just interaction for your pup(s)! I will care for your pet as they are my own, being sure to adhere to the request of the owners and getting to know your pets!

About: From growing up in a pet loving home where there were always dogs running around, to having professional experience of pet sitting through college, I promise to always take care of your pets like they’re my own! Plus, I love enjoying the outside by taking walks, so why not add a sweet dog to care for along with me? It’s a win win for both of us! :) I have a very flexible schedule right now, so I am able to drop by multiple times a day and/or walk dogs while you are at work during business hours. I am more than happy to accommodate whatever needs your pet(s) have - whether that is crating them back up when I leave or making sure they have plenty food and water. I am a very respectful, tidy, and reliable person and promise to treat your home and your fur babies the same way!

“This was our first time working with Kitt. We found her very personable. She asked good questions. We enjoyed meeting her and look forward to working with her again soon.”

About: For the past 12 years I have been taking care of my oldest dog Trilly and for the last year have been taking care of my dog Dash. Within the last 12 years I have owned a few fish, a few hermit crabs, a bunny, a few guinea pigs, as well as a hamster. I am a graduate and don't have a part/full time job as of right now so I am able to make plenty of time to care for pets. I have two protective dogs which would not let me allow other animals into my home but I am happy to walk and or go to a pets home to take care of them.

“Lisa is delightful and a great communicator. She is reliable and so good with my senior chihuahua mix, Mika. It is very comforting to know Lisa also has a senior chihuahua, and is very experienced with dog care. I am happy Mika seems to really enjoy her walks with Lisa and was able to get comfortable with her fast. Lisa takes her time and is in tune with Mika’s needs. I feel bad on days I have to leave Mika alone at home for so long for work, so it means the world to me that Lisa makes sure her time with Mika is quality bonding.”

“Cathy did so well with our German Shepherd. He pulls us pretty hard on walks, but wasn’t an issue for Cathy. She was prompt and caring and very communicative. Would definitely request her services again!”

About: Hii! I’ve grown up with many different animals; including rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, ect. I am an animal lover, but having my own isn’t an option for me right now. I’d love to take care and make your pet happy. I’d treat them as if they were my own babies. I currently work full-time and am a college student, however I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy spending extra time with animals. I’d love to spend some of my free time taking care of your fur babies. I’m open to any ideas, but I’d love most to drop by or even walk your pet. I’d love to come to your own home where your pet is already comfortable. I do live in an apartment so my home isn’t an option unless well planned ahead of time. I do have family that lives on a lake and have no problem taking your pet there and spending time there with him/her. It’s a lot of land on acres for any dog to play😊

About: Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s my heart. I’m a deeply compassionate, reliable sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance. I’m currently enrolled in animal behavior coursework, which helps me read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, stress-free environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them exactly where they are. I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. From cozy cuddle sessions to gentle play, enrichment, and structured walks, your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Animals are my happy place, and it’s an honor to care for them 💗🐶🐱 I'm currently enrolled in The Animal Behavior Institute online. And my schedule is very flexible, as I can study my Carnivore behavior course anyplace there is Internet. I take my pet sitting job very seriously. It's my honor and responsibility to make sure all of your baby's needs are met. I follow any instructions and always double check locks, bring in the mail and take out garbage if needed. My priority is the safety and wellness of your precious baby. I always check in and give updates with photos!

About: Hi! My name is Emma, I’m 25 years old and I have a lot of experience with almost every type of animal. Especially dogs! Ive worked as a groomer and counselor at Camp Bow Wow, a daycare and boarding facility for dogs. So I have experience with all age ranges and breeds of dogs. I also worked on an exotic farm that had lots of animals from bunnies and farm animals to baby kangaroos and macaws. I personally own a 6 and 3 year old cat, and a 10 year old border collie who’s very active, so I understand a dog that needs lots of excercise! I’ve also had pets like a leopard gecko, Guinea pigs, rats, and absolutely love birds! I work 9-4 Monday through Friday but I’m always up early. I could come check on your fur babies in the morning, then more quality and excercise/play time in the afternoon after work. My weekends are completely open. We are outside a lot! My border collie is 10 but he could still play all day! He is typically playing fetch, catching bubbles, or playing in the sprinkler while I work on the garden. They get fresh water, dry food throughout the day, and wet dinner at night so I understand routines and feeding times.
