About: Hi I'm Lily! I've taken care of my own two dogs and cat for a few years now. Whenever my parents are gone for a few weeks I look after them and love taking care of them! I do work about 4-5 days out of the week but I'm willing to wake up bright and early to take care of any pet duties that you may need me to, such as walking or playing in a park or giving them special meals when needed and lots and lots of pets! I often treat pets as more then just pets they are our loved ones and our best friends. I take care of other people's pets just as I would mine with lots of love!

About: My entire life I have had an undeniable love for animals, especially dogs. For years my family and friends have trusted me to take care and watch over their beloved furry family members. I’ve had many experiences with big dogs, little dogs, reactive dogs, energetic dogs, and many many more. Your fur-babies will 100% be in great care with me💞 I currently work part time in the evenings so I may not be able to do boarding as often as some furry friends may need, but I am available for walking practically everyday I unfortunately am unable to do in-house boarding due to the safety of my Guinea pigs, but I am more than happy to care for your furry best friends in the comfort of his or her own home. I treat every animal as it they are my own. I am very adamant on requesting information about the dog in order to understand their daily routine with feeding, walking, and playtime. I also ensure I’m constantly monitoring them, they have fresh water access 24/7, and that I engage them in physical activity to keep them entertained. Additionally, I have experienced caring for dogs that need administrated medication, and I’m equipped with basic training techniques if you need help with puppies/ untrained dogs.

About: As a passionate pet sitter, I prioritize your pet's happiness, safety, and comfort as if they were my own. I bring exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring their unique needs are met—whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, administering medication, or providing plenty of playtime and affection. With my strong communication skills, you'll enjoy peace of mind with regular updates, including photos and detailed notes about your furry friend's day. I go above and beyond to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, so you can feel confident that they are in loving, capable hands. I currently work from home, which makes it easy to housesit and provide your pets with all the care they need. Because I work from my desk, getting to get up and take your dog for walks or just have a play with your cats is my favorite way to destress! When it comes to caring for pets in my clients' homes, safety, trust, and creating the right environment are paramount. Firstly, I prioritize understanding the specific needs and routines of each pet entrusted to my care. This ensures a seamless transition and minimizes any stress or anxiety they may experience while their owners are away. In terms of safety, I meticulously inspect the home environment to identify and mitigate any potential hazards. This includes securing doors and windows, removing toxic plants or substances, and ensuring that any potentially dangerous items are safely stored away. Trust is the foundation of my relationship with both the pets and their owners. I communicate openly and transparently, providing regular updates and being responsive to any concerns or special requests. I strive to build a bond of trust with each pet, taking the time to understand their unique personalities and preferences. Creating a comfortable and stimulating environment is essential for the well-being of the pets in my care. I maintain their regular feeding and exercise schedules, engage them in play and enrichment activities, and provide plenty of love and attention. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch or exploring the backyard together, I aim to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home.

“Lori was awesome! Edgar and I are so happy we found her! She has a great animal connection that is obvious the first time you meet her. I felt very comfortable knowing Edgar was in good hands! We will definitely use her again.”

About: Residential pet and property care is different than sending your animal to a boarding facility or relying on daily check-ins. With boarding, you can't guarantee your pet receives the individual attention they need or maintains their home routine. With quick visits, there's no real security presence or time to notice if something's wrong. As an independent pet and property caretaker, my mission is to provide estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind—your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old—yes, 10! What started as a young girl's passion (slight obsession, honestly) turned into 13 years of trusted, professional pet care. I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds requiring special medical attention, and for periods ranging from long weekends to month-long stays, including major holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is my ability to really read animals—I pick up on subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not just going through the motions; I genuinely love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and home. Over the years, I've built long-lasting relationships with both pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. My husband and I work as a team for overnight stays, which means double the attention, playtime, and eyes on your property. I specialize in situations that require extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets – blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex animals ✓ Complex medication schedules – pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds – Breeds requiring special care, require extensive grooming, intense exercise, and dedicated training. ✓ Extended stays – comfortable caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care – I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's when you need help most ✓ Medical monitoring – recognizing early signs of illness, decline, or distress ✓ Multi-pet households – managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Emergency response – calm under pressure, quick to act if something goes wrong ✓ Anxious or reactive pets – patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure I maintain your home just as carefully—mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that "lived-in" presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all animals and treat them all as if they were my own! I currently do not work-so my schedule is wide open and flexible to take care of all of your pets needs. I am open to walking, dog sitting and more! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company of staying in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but like to go for walks, and in park adventures.

About: We are a married couple looking to help people out in our free time with pet care. We have two cats and one dog (sadly our 15 year old chihuahua passed away a couple months ago). We love animals, treat them like our children and between the two of us have many years of experience with cats, puppies and senior dogs. We will be on time, provide lots of photos while you are away, and be certain to follow your instructions exactly as written. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Between the two of us we are available most evenings; and Friday-Mondays. Sometimes we have other random days available, so you are welcome to request any day. We have a fenced backyard, and let our pets go out when they want, but mostly they stay inside. We take our dog on two walks daily. We will follow whatever direction you have. Because of our cats, we can only accept small dogs into our home, but can go to your home as needed.

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

About: I carry a business insurance policy for petcare. My first job was a at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility but I have been pet sitting since I was 12. I’ve worked with puppies all the way through seniors receiving cancer treatment. I have a playful golden retriever who adores all animals big and small. I have experience bathing and giving insulin to cats too. I volunteered at a rescue ranch for a number of years and have experience with livestock. I personally have ducks, chickens, reptiles and a senior cat as companions for my golden. I am currently working 3 days a week for a tax office and am unavailable from January to April. On my off days I hike and take my golden to the river. I have a contract that I have been using since 2010 that outlines my safety procedures. When I am in a clients home I always have them review it and do a walk around of the home with them. From my years at doggy daycare I am pretty familiar with certain breed characteristics like the awesome heights husky’s can jump or the tunneling ability of a weenie. I also am very understanding about separation anxiety as someone who has worked at rescues. For walks I require a harness or collar the dog cannot slip out of. I require an in person meeting beforehand, if doggy play dates with my dog are requested we must meet on neutral ground first to see how they interact.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to just about every creature you’d find on a ranch. That upbringing gave me a natural understanding of different personalities and needs, and a deep love for them all. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, whether that’s administering medication, supporting a disability, or helping a shy or nervous animal feel safe. My gentle, quiet nature helps animals relax and settle in, so they can truly feel at home while you’re away. As a work-from-home freelancer, my schedule is wide open, giving me the flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me, day or night. I have a big, fully fenced backyard, including an amazing dog run in case they need some alone time or need to be away from others. I also have an open home with plenty of room to take long naps in the sun.
