About: I would love to take care of your babies while you are away. I will talk to them , cuddle them, feed and walk them. I’m am currently retired and looking forward to pet sitting. I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits. She sits in my lap when she wants, she lets me know when she needs to go out and I keep pee pads down for her just in case, and keep the area clean.

About: Hi! My name is Josie, and I love ALL dogs. I have two at home and they get tired of how often I want to stroll with them. I am a very active person and travel enthusiast, and I understand although it breaks our heart to leave them we can't always take our best friends with us. I would love the opportunity to help with your's when you are at work or away! I have never met a dog I didn't get along with. I have complete confidence in my ability to connect with your pup and provide them with all the affection and care they deserve. I am happy to accommodate special requests as well, like ice in the water, carefully measuring portions, separate feeding ares, or other little things that make everyone happy. I am retired from the Air Force and have an open and flexible schedule. This is great because I am available to accommodate youre beloved pup's needs! Drop in visits in your home will be the place your dog is most comfortable and happy. With your instruction I will always do my best to keep them happy in your absence.

About: I have taken care of large dogs since I was 11 and was raised to understand their needs. In addition to raising two of my dogs from birth, I have also been relied on by neighbors to care for their pets while away. I also have professional experience working at a doggie daycare and was trained to work with and care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time. I am available any time throughout the day, any day of the week. Feel free to reach out to schedule your booking! I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and am able to walk, play with, and give attention to your pet. I can easily crate your pet if requested and will adhere to any and all feeding restrictions and schedules.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of pets, I treat every pet like they’re my own, with dependable care and a safe environment young or old. I’m only going to school two days a week and have an open schedule the rest of the week. Even while gone trusted parent home. I have a fenced in yard, three friendly dogs who are comfortable around other pets. Able to crate any pets if needed. Food, water, ect.

About: Growing up in a rural area I have had experience with most animals, from dogs to exotics, and love them all. I have a Bachelors in Animal Science from TAMU and worked for the Vet School during my undergrad. Not only do I have many of my own pets, but I have been trusted to care for others’ furry family members for several years. I formerly did dog training on the side so if you have any particular things your pups need to work on l would be happy to help! This also means puppies are no problem for me. Animals of all ages can have unique growing pains, but with a little consistency and positive reinforcement they can be the perfect pup! In addition, I have worked at a vet clinic previously, giving me the opportunity to develop strong skills when it come to handling different situations: including senior dogs, medication administration, etc. I am currently pursuing my masters, which leaves my schedule fairly open for you furry friends when I’m not in class! However, I do already have prior bookings for most of the holidays. When doing overnight or in home services I consider myself a very clean person that keeps to themselves; I will treat your home better than my own and try to leave it cleaner than before!

About: I have been a pet sitter and owner since I was 12 and have learned to potty train and be attentive of dogs needs based on their personality. I do have a part time job! but love to dog sit when I can! although I’ve recently got a dog I still like spending time with dogs in general! I try my best to ensure that your dogs will have a safe, comfortable, and fun experience. I very much follow the dogs lead and mood.

“Spencer did a great job. He listened to my notes. He was friendly and affectionate with my buddy. My girl had a great time on the walk and there were plenty of notes and pictures!”

About: I’ve had had family dogs and taken care of others dogs off and on. Willing to work around your dogs needs! If you have any concerns don’t hesitate to reach out. I do work part-time and go to college full-time. I pet sit in my free time to pay for tuition. I will be graduating with my associates this fall. I have a fenced in back yard. My neighborhood has sidewalks and safe pathways. This also includes a dog park. There are no cats or dogs inside my current home.

About: I went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. My background as a vet student also means you can trust me to be consistent, communicative, and professional. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m pivoting from sales into marketing and, while job-hunting, I love spending my time caring for dogs. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pup all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need. 💕 follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles included. 🐾 I’ll also keep things tidy and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. 💕

About: I’ve dealt with all types of animals - shy, aggressive, specific needs, and the ones who need extra attention. My family dog and previous pup needed oral medication, shots, and had specific diets. I’m home on weekends for the foreseeable future and will always welcome extra fur babies to my place. Live on acre+ of land and have accessible trails within walking distance as well. Have pool and extra room if your doggo needs their own space while I’m away. Willing to do pop ins for those who work longer hours, welcome fur babies to my house, or give walks during the day. My night schedule allows me plenty of flexibility and always looking for ways to fill my schedule. My dogs love extra roommates. I work nights starting at midnight and usually off by 8:30-9am. I’m off Friday Saturday and go in Sunday night. I don’t go out and love daily walks with my doggos. I have a fenced 1.5acre fenced backyard with access to trails within walking distance. While away I leave my dogs out and they have access to my bed, couch, and spare rooms. If more comfortable can keep them in spare room or kenneled depending on your preference.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, giving me ten years of hands on and consistent experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and consistency are. My ultimate goal is to prioritize safety, routine, and lots of love so each owner can rest easy knowing their pet is in good, loving hands. My schedule is always changing and remains extremely flexible. I am available more often than I am not to fill in the gaps in your schedule when you need that extra hand. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routines, providing attentive supervision and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions so pets feel secure while their owners are away.

“Mackenzie was amazing. She took such good care of Zeus while checking on him while I was at work. She communicated effectively and took lots of photos each time. We will definitely book with her again!!”

About: I worked at a dog daycare and boarding camp, where I walked, fed, and (orally) medicated dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I also enjoy pet photography so you can expect plenty of cute pictures! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your fur family! My work days vary but I am always available Sundays and most evenings. I want both pet and parent to feel safe and comfortable! I'd like to do free meet and greets before services to make sure your pet and I are the right fit!

About: Hey hey! My love for animals runs deep. Growing up, my family always had animals. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. Professionally, I have taken care of dogs and cats since high school. As a tree hugger through and through, your fur babies will be loved, adored, and showered with tons of attention. I would love the opportunity to walk your fur babies, stay with them while you’re away, or simply check on them during the day. I know how important our fur babies are to us, and for this reason, I promise and guarantee to treat yours as if they are my own. I will provide pictures and videos of my time with your babies! Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!

After growing up with only dogs and small house pets (hamsters, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards)In my adulthood, my husband and I have opened our home to several rescues through the six years we’ve been together. At our home we consider ourselves “last owners” animals come to us to live out the rest of their lives, comfortable and loved. We’ve been by the side of 6 rescue birds, a few kittens and one chameleon to watch them cross over the rainbow bridge, and complete their journey. Between Gage (my husband) and I we have 10 cats (willow, meadow, sushi, pumpkin, chai, jenny, lucifer, salem, peggy & naruto) 5 birds (blanca, bleezy, grim, puffer & mongo bongo - she’s a 46 year old scarlett macaw! - ) 1 dog, (chief) 1 chameleon (pascal) and 1 scalata tortoise (torchy) ! we are obviously big animal lovers!! In conclusion, We both have tons of experience around all species of animal and we want your trip to be focused on enjoying YOUR vacation plans, and not worried about if your fur babies were left in the wrong hands! Most of my clients do not have children and their pet is their child. I want to you as the parent of your sweet baby, to be confident when you walk out the door knowing i’ll be there I can not wait to care for all of your babies, fur or reptile! please feel free to reach out to me send ask about my process of meeting the baby and we can discuss pricing! (if it’s too expensive DONT PANIC! we can communicate and i will really take whatever you’d like to pay. I understand vacations are very expensive and I don’t want you to have to choose between a fun tour or activity with you family vs having adequate care for your baby while you’re away. If you think i’m perfect for your home and baby, please let me know what you can pay and i will always work it out! I AM WILLING TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL TO YOU (OUT OF STATE) MY MILAGE IS SET TO 100 MILES LETS TALK!)

Rover is my full time job so whatever care your baby needs I’ll make sure to be on top of it! Most bookings I would like to keep my husband with me wherever I am (just for safety reasons), BUT if you’re not comfortable with that I TOTALLY understand and I’m more than willing to stay without my husband!! I want to do whatever makes YOU AND YOUR BABIES safe, happy and comfortable!
