About: I have had at least one pet my entire life. I am as passionate about Cats as I am Dogs. I recently lost my 15 year old Dachshund. He was the love of my life ( sorry Husband). Currently we have three Senior Dogs. We would have more if we had a bigger home. I recently left my position as a Client Care Supervisor at a local Animal Hospital. I was there for twelve years and it was by far the best work experience I have ever had. I adore Senior Cats, Kittens and every Cat in between those life stages. Same with Dogs. Senior Dogs delight me as much as any Puppy. Any Animal in my presence is immediately my favorite Animal. During my years at the Animal Hospital I was never medically trained . I did however learn to recognize symptoms of common medical issues and signs that a Pet needs immediate medical attention. I would love to make your Pet ( or Pets ), my new Best Friend. I am currently unemployed while I participate in an advanced 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have a fairly flexible daytime, night and weekends schedule. I would like to meet any pets and their owners before walking them or house sitting. I would adhere to the pet owner’s standard of care. I will provide as many photos and updates as the pet owner wants.
About: I am a life long dog lover, raising dogs for the entirety of my first 18 years of life. While we live in a home where we can't keep dogs. At home we care for a menagerie of pets, including 1 cat, 2 rabbits, 3 degus, 2 budgies, 1 cockatiel, 1 painted turtle and keep 5 freshwater aquariums! I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. I try to fit in 3-5 dog walks per week. Sometimes more if my schedule allows. I am always very mindful of any pets in my care. We have a cockatiel who we allow to fly around the house, so I am always very watching and aware, ensure doors and windows are treated with care to ensure the safety of my pets.
“Suzanne did a great job with our 4 1/2 month old puppy. We came home to a happy puppy who was still a little tired from the play session with Suzanne!”
“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”
“Gretchen has a real love that for animals which shows. She was flexible when I had plans change, and spent extra time with my pets, even showing extra concern for the security of my home. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to take care of your family!”
About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!
“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”
About: I have close attention to detail, which is important when caring for pets. I’m able to identify behavior and appetite changes and provide proper care. I am patient, kind & caring. I have an open schedule during the summertime. When I’m not caring for others’ animals, I’m spending time loving on my own cat and often caring for my MIL’s senior dog. I pay close attention not only to giving your pet lots of love, but also their behaviors and appetite to ensure they are healthy & happy. I love to take dogs for walks and provide a comfortable and clean environment for cats & dogs. Pets can sometimes be apprehensive when meeting a new caregiver, so it’s important to be patient & kind as they get to know me and become comfortable.

About: I have a lifetime of animal care experience and have been running my little business, Pet Care Partners, LLC, since 2019 and have offered a variety of services. I currently offer dog walking, dog training, day time drop ins for dogs, cats and critters and dog boarding in my home. I live with my husband and our children ages 14 and 11 who help me care for the doggos who stay with us. I'm passionate about providing excellent care for your pet and frequent communication with you. I require an in person Meet and Greet before committing to caring for a new dog to make sure this is a great fit for all involved. Please inquire at least 2 weeks before you need care so we have plenty of time to meet beforehand. I work part time hours and typically have availability 7 days a week. For drops in your home, I am available between the hours of 9:00am and 7:00pm so my services are the best fit for cats, critters and doggos are who are just alone for the day. I always require a meet and greet for new clients, so please inquire at least 2 weeks in advance if you are new to Pet Care Partners! I have a fenced in backyard, and protocols around doors to prevent escapes. We prepare our home for the well-being of each individual dog guest. For example if your dog loves to play with plush dog toys I will leave plenty out! If your dog is at risk for swallowing toys and getting hurt I will put them away during his visit.
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently between jobs waiting for a seasonal position, so I am available anytime, other than the occasional appointment or vacation. Available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.
“Sounded like a great week of daily walks. Lots of photos and great communication.”
About: I’m a teacher looking to hangout with some cuddly pets this summer! I’ve had cats my entire life (27 years), including two who lived to be 18. I’m experienced with giving medication by syringe and caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, birds, hamsters, and fish. I’m patient, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a teacher and I have my summers off so my time is very flexible. I am looking for some cute animals to fill my schedule this summer! I treat every pet like family and follow any instructions closely to keep them happy and healthy. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, always clean up after pets, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own shelter dog, who is now a happy senior. I've learned how to handle everything from playful puppy energy to the gentler needs of older dogs. My pup loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy for playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like family — with patience, love, and plenty of tail wags! https://www.rover.com/sit/ryanp03006 For a discount on your first booking! I work during the week but come home during my lunch for potty time for my dog. After work nights are spent on a nice night walk and relaxing with movies and snacks. Typically dog goes out 3/4 times a day for walks/bathroom breaks. In my home, pets get lots of love, playtime, and a cozy, safe environment. I follow their regular routines to help them feel comfortable — from feeding and potty breaks to walks and cuddle time. In a client’s home, I treat your space with respect and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s play sessions, walks, or quiet time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.
“Daniel is a very reliable and responsible dog walker. He has walked our two big Huskey-German Shepherds multiple times and we’ve always had great experiences. Each time the communication has been excellent and he always sends fantastic photos of our pups. We feel fortunate to be able to rely on Daniel, when we’re out of town.”
About: I create a personal bond between me and your pet- I take them on many walks and love to play with them. I am attentive with puppies and help potty train them as well. It is about your pet, not me! I have a completely free schedule as I am putting most of my energy into pet sitting. The pets are of utmost importance to me. I am able to maximize play time and can easily crate if needed. I love to go on walks and possible dog parks in the area.
About: Over the past 6 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve helped with everything from daily walks and feedings to giving medications and providing extra patience with shy or senior pups. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m known for being dependable and communicative, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am an occupational therapy student and only have classes a couple days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m available for walks or potty breaks Thursdays or Fridays and also have all evenings available if needed. I can also do overnight stays at your house most nights. Your pup will get lots of love, walks, and attention during my open hours! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I have grown up with my own dog and know what it means to keep your pet safe and loved. I always supervise outdoor time and follow any specific instructions to ensure your dog feels comfortable.

Gonzalo R.
“Gonzalo is incredible. He helped us with our dog Cleo, many times. Cleo was a lovable sweetheart, but she was also a Doberman Pincher. So a lot of people would think of the guard-dog stereotype and not be so comfortable with Cleo, but Gonzalo just saw who she was, our lovable doggo. He always gave Cleo what she needed, time at the park, extra snuggles, etc. The last time he helped with Cleo she was 3 1/2 years old and had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Being able to rely on Gonzalo’s help, knowing he would care for Cleo like his own, genuinely helped us through that time. He’s a rockstar.”

“Ashley is a caring ,loving, responsible pet owner. Her pets are her family. This shows in how she dog sat with our golden retriever and now with our two golden doodles. She treats them as members of her family. My dogs are always happy to see her as they wag their tails in excitement. Ashley will give text updates and pictures of the dogs while she is caring for them. This reassures us of how the dogs are doing while we are away. We are so happy to have her be a caregiver for our furry babies.”
