About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve owned, trained, and cared for dogs my entire adult life, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior, body language, and individual needs. As an active person, I tailor walks to each dog-whether they need a calm, structured stroll or a high-energy adventure. Safety, consistency, and positive reinforcement are always my top priority. I offer flexible scheduling with open availability for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including both weekdays and weekends, to fit your dogs routine with consistency. I will respect your home and follow all care instructions, prioritize safety, secure doors and leashes. I also provide calm, attentive care in familiar environments.
“Maddie was a wonderful dog sitter for us! She was able to accept our booking last-minute when our usual sitter wasn't available for a trip. Our dog immediately liked her and I could tell he didn't miss us when we were gone! She was very thoughtful with our 2 cats too even though we only booked her for the dog, and very respectful of our home as well. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Madeline- definitely worth booking for your pet!”

“We’ve used Ashlea for our high energy puppy as well as our 2 cats and she did a great job! Even when the puppy has some excitement pee problems, no issues 😅 she’s very communicative, punctual, and even helped us out for extra house care duties because of an emergency. Completely dependable :)”


About: I worked at a dog kennel for about two years. In which I cleaned up after them, feed them, and took them outside to play and potty. When I was growing up I was always taking care of dogs we always had at least one dog and one time we had 6! I’m currently working at mikes Carwash. It is generally Monday-Friday 6am-2pm. I could watch/care for dogs anytime after 2 and on the weekends I have three dogs a one eyed French Bulldog, a Chihuahua mix, and a medium sized mutt. We have a fenced yard and large crate that can fit 2-3 large dogs. I can handle big dogs and crate them or mine if need be.

“Molly is the best. She is reliable, consistent, and takes such good care of our Hampton. He’s getting old and is on medication so we worry when we have to leave him for several days. Our worries are eliminated knowing Molly is visiting him. She is kind, warm, and communicative. We trust her wholeheartedly. Thank you for everything, Molly!”

“Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!”

“Amanda was very sweet when she came for a meet and greet with our dogs. She is knowledgeable about handling dogs and medicines. She did a great job sitting for us. My dogs were very happy with her. And we are very happy to find her!”
About: I have some experience taking care of dogs , cats and farm animals. I also have a cat, a bunny and a lizard I take care of right now. Although I have more experience with cats then I do dogs, but I love dogs just as much and love playing and interacting with them. I am free before work and after work during the week. Usually I work from 7:30-2 but it depends on the weather since I’m a landscaper. And I’m available all day on the weekends as well. I will respect your home as well as your pets. Whatever task you want me to do to take care of your pet I will try my best to accomplish it and do it to your standards.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for well over 4 years and have had the pleasure of watching some of the sweetest pups. I’ve dealt with dogs on a schedule, some who require medication and those who need some extra snuggles. I will take the time to learn the care your pet deserves. I work a full time job during the weeks but will ensure all pets are taken out before I leave and return as soon as possible to allow them to be taken out again, I spend my afternoons with the dogs and try to provide enrichment play so they don’t get bored. I’m available all day on weekends so the same things goes. I normally stay with at a clients home to ensure dogs have minimal stress dealing with new environments. I follow any schedule my client has given me, from early morning walks at a dog park or allowing them to roam their fenced in yard while I prepare any food or water that is left while I’m away. I enjoy playing with them in the afternoons and getting them tired and rewarding them with treats when necessary.
About: I have worked with animals since I was a kid. I’ve pet sat for many friends and family for a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, and livestock. I currently work at a big cat animal sanctuary that is home to both exotic and domestics animals. I also have experience with clicker training animals. I do work full time Wednesday through Sunday. I also have a short night shift on alternating Saturdays and Sundays. I would be available all day during Mondays and/or Tuesdays, and in the evenings. I have taken care of both my own pets and other people’s pets around my schedule. I prefer to keep pets in their own home so there is no additional stress when adjusting to new surroundings or my personal pets. I also have my own car and would be able to drive them to any pet parks so they could have more time to play and run.

About: Myself & my wife, Madison, are both teachers with the entire days off at times. With that, we will be home with your dog most of the day (if not all day!). Your dog is welcome to roam the house and sleep on our furniture just as our own dog does if we are away - whatever you are comfortable with. We are currently a two dog home right now - we have a Kelpie-mix named Aero and mini-Daschaund named Winnie! They are both playful and loving dogs that will match your own's energy! In the past I have dealt with anything from puppies to rescue dogs (just like Aero). With Aero being a rescue dog, he did suffer from extreme separation anxiety at the beginning (no longer does) so I can accommodate your dog as needed if that is the case. Your dog will be taken care of just as well as Aero - like his short-term brother/sister - through plenty of playtime and treats (if they are allowed). They will also be allowed to sleep with us in bed, and on the furniture. We all can't wait to meet you and your pup! Myself & my wife, Madison, are both teachers. This means we have weekends, most holidays, and even the entire summer off. This allows us plenty of time to play with and cater to both our own dog and yours needs however is necessary! I currently have a full 7ft fence surrounding our yard with plenty of room for your dog to ZOOM! If we need more space, then I do have access to multiple dog parks, or can take them to my family farm to run around if okay with you. I will happily accommodate any rules and routines you have in place with your dog - from crating when leaving to not being allowed on the furniture to having to work on training by working for their food. I will always have open and honest communication with my clients, as well as provide constant updates on the well-being of your pup. We do also live within 5-10 minutes of multiple veterinarian facilities and emergency pet hospitals if anything were to ever happen.
About: I'm 33 years old. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life! I unfortunately lost my fur baby in January of 2022 and due to landlord issues I can’t have another of my own again yet! I work full time as a nanny out of my home during the week, I'm very responsible and caring. I try to have flexible scheduling and would love to be able to care for your fur baby. I've been house sitting for about 8 years now. I'm a hard worker just looking for a chance to make a little extra money on the side doing what I love. Children and animals are my passion. I'm experienced with fish, turtles, dogs, cats, horses, cows and other farm animals. If you take a chance on me I promise you won't be disappointed!! I can do overnights and mid day potty breaks, as I work full time with a 8-5/6 schedule. They would unfortunately have to be on their own for most of the day though. I can’t have the animals in my personal home but I would do whatever you are comfortable with to keep them safe inside your home. I have experience with crating if necessary. Also have experience with cameras inside the home to keep an eye on your animals
About: Not only have I taken care of dogs, but I’ve taken care of horses. I have experience with taking care of many different animals. I grew up with two dogs and a horse of my own. I enjoy spending my time with animals. Im working for door dash part time so I get to make my own work schedule. I’ll always put your animals first before my work. I think One of the biggest things is lots of love! And of course getting good exercise. Making sure they have enough food, water and treats.
