Whether it's keeping them company overnight or taking them for walks, I prioritize their well-being and stick to your pet's routine. As a trustworthy and dependable person, you can feel confident that your home and pets are in safe hands. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment while you're away, so your pets get the attention and care they deserve.

About: I've taken care of pets as long as I can remember! I've always been a pets owner myself, but have also fostered dogs for friends, pet sit for family and friends, and fostered cats for local non-profit organizations throughout my adult life. Some of those animals have had special medical needs, as well. I have open availability to care for your pet and keep you updated along the way! No schedule restrictions means your pets gets care any time of day or night! I have over an acre of open area for walks and an open to pets environment inside my home, but can also offer crate care, if needed for less social dogs.

“Tyler went above and beyond to care for my dog and cat! He sends several pictures and is very responsive with updates! He took the time to play with my animals and show them love. Highly recommended and will definitely use again!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and house sat since I was 10. When needed, my family, friends, and others tend to contact me, which I love so greatly! I am currently making pet care my full time job. I am very flexible when needed and would love to help in any way possible! When caring for pets, I believe it is necessary to have play time and give them attention when needed. Of course potty breaks and their basic needs are essential too!

About: I’ve taken care of small dogs and large dogs. Young puppies & senior aged dogs. I can administer medications as well. I have been doing this for about 3 years. I am a college student pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. I’m moving in August so I am taking this summer to make as much money as I can. I currently work evenings at Buffalo Wild Wings with a few doubles here and there. I am available during the week and weekends to watch your pets. I would have to watch your dogs at your home. I can not have pets where I live, but I am very flexible and do my best to be a great house guest.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life since childhood, ranging in ages from new born puppy to senior dog. I have experience working with detection dogs in the military and civilian sector and I’ve worked in pet boarding facilities. I am an avid dog lover and I will give your pet the same love and attention I give to mine. I’m a stay at home college student, off for summer break so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding on weekdays and weekends anytime! We have 23 acres of land unfenced and five other dogs to keep your fur baby company! We have a variety of sizes of crates if needed for your pet.

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

About: Ever since I was a child, I've always loved animals, specifically cats. Something about them just clicked with me. My grandmother used to foster animals in Modesto, California. I helped her out frequently, by keeping the animals company and taking care of their needs. Now that she's retired, I wanna continue to be around animals as much as possible without her help. I work part time, so I have a lot of time available. My schedule is very flexible, and I work best in the afternoons and evenings. I am currently customizing my home into an environment where a cat could be comfortable. I'd say the essentials for are a happy kitty are wet food packed with protein, a clean litterbox, places to scratch, and lots of personal space. A happy dog is one that has outlets for their energy. I can stop by and feed your cat, clean it's litterbox, and play. I can also come over for a few days, making sure your feline friend is supervised while you're away. I love to play with cats, I'd never turn down a play session, and I'm also a big cuddler. What matters most to me is that your cat feels safe.
