About: I have had animals in my life all of my life. I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats. I am happy to take dogs for walks/runs, and cuddle and hang out with cats. I train horses for a living so I have a flexible schedule. I can give meds and shots. I train horses for a living so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have two dogs(including a senior diabetic husky) and three cats that I absolutely love. I travel around daily for my job and would love to pop in and help care for yours! I will follow any instructions given to me for your pet, plus as much extra love that is needed. I adjust well to new schedules and can make anything work!

“Kayla has been taking great care of my pups on weekly drop ins! She was even able to drop in multiple times on short notice, which was greatly appreciated! Thanks for going above & beyond when my pup was sick. Highly recommend 😊”


“I really appreciated Jordan’s communication and pictures he sent. My normally very shy cat warmed up to him right away, so that says something about his demeanor! I’d recommend him and would ask him to check in on her again.”


“Kelsie did great with my dog! Aspen loved connecting with her during our meet and greet. Kelsie was very kind and professional. I will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis.”


About: I Love animals and I want what is best for them. I've done 5 years of dog training through 4H, where I have won first place trophies for agility and obedience. I grew up with dogs living in the house and I helped take care of them. I also have a pet cat. I have trained both multiple tricks. I have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time during the day to keep your doggo entertained. I am usually pretty busy in the evenings though. I have a fenced in yard that your dog can run around and play in, and a cozy room where he or she can be comfortable.

“Hannah went above and beyond our expectations for caring for our dogs. After meeting her, I had no concerns about leaving our dogs in her care. Hannah is caring, respectful of the house, trustworthy, and on time. She is thorough in her reports of the visit, and sends pictures of you want. I look forward to having Hannah come back again. The dogs love her!”


About: I have helped to take care of a variety of personalities of family pets over time. Between an elderly dog who needed help with basic mobility, medication, and anxiety management, to a long-term shelter adoption who need extra attention with socialization and training, to newly trained puppies, I've worked with a variety of animals. I work free lance and I am on my own schedule to set work. I have all the time to dedicate to your fluffy family members. I approach every animal like I approach people: with individual humility and by getting to know them. Every animal is unique and deserves the best, individualized care that I can provide. I approach with love and affection and let the animal inform the relationship from there.

About: My lifelong love of dogs has turned into an opportunity to help others by caring for your furry friends in my home. I ❤️ dogs! With my part-time schedule I have am able to spend plenty of time at home with furry friends of all sizes. I am flexible to care for dogs during the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have extra crates if that would be more convenient for you.

About: I have been taking care of dogs of many sizes since I was eight. My neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me with watching their animals while they are away, I have taken care of animals from the size of a Chihuahua to the size of an Irish wolfhound. I also have previously owned a pitbull mix, and now own a German Shepherd and Husky. I have worked at 4 different doggy daycares so I am well versed in taking care of all breeds of dogs. Currently my only job is pet sitting so I am free every day of the week to take care of your animals, unless of course I already have a job going on for that week Whenever I am watching someone's animal in their home I make sure to constantly play with the dog, make sure they go outside often, and make sure that animal is happy while I am there.

About: There's never been a time in my life where I've lived without at least a couple of critters running around, from cats and dogs to crustaceans and weasels. Though I've never made a profit off of looking after others' pets, I've spent a fair amount of time fostering, mainly cats and dogs, and volunteering at my local animal shelter. As a result, I have a lot of experience caring for senior pets who may have medical needs or temperamental issues and younger pets who may need a bit of extra training or encouragement. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm no stranger to caring for them. The best part is that I love doing it! I'm currently enrolled in school 9-5PM Monday through Friday, but I'm free to immediately head anywhere I'm needed and willing to spend the night if necessary. On weekends I'm completely free and would be more than happy to stay overnight! My home is overlooked by three older cats and one who turned a year old in July. The youngest is always looking to find a new companion, but the others keep to themselves. We previously had a doberman, so we have a large backyard with no toxic plants and a stainless steel wire leash that allows exploration of the entire yard. Pets will be supervised at all times, and I'd be more than willing to make any accommodations to make sure you feel safe leaving your furry companion with me.

“Chanse took excellent care of our two cats during drop-in visits and sent us pictures and updates of how the visits went each time. I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again.”
