About: What sets me apart is my ability to care for dogs at every stage of life. I have special experience with puppies and can reinforce training routines like potty and crate training. I also provide attentive, patient care for senior dogs who may need extra monitoring and comfort. i am currently in college with prn jobs but i have plenty of time throughout the week to spend time taking care of your animals. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medication if needed, and any specific care requirements. Pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision to make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. For puppies, I help reinforce routines like potty training, crate training, and positive behaviors. For senior dogs, I provide a calmer environment, frequent check-ins, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Ava is super responsive and reliable! We would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve watched friends animals before, but really I just used to take care of my own dog before she passed! But I really want to help out those who need help with their animals!! I have now graduated from college with my bachelors! I am working full-time at another job, but I am very flexible, and my job is very flexible with me so I can make most things work! I can take care of your dog or cat however you need, I love going on walks, playing, and spending time with animals! Just let me know what you want and I can provide!

About: I have lived with and taken care of numerous animals in my life. Growing up on a farm gave me a love for animals and taught me how to properly care for them. I grew up living with cats, horses, dogs, etc. I currently have one cat named Blaze who is a part of the family. Due to Blaze being intolerant to dogs I will not be offering any in-home dog sitting services. I will be more than happy to take care of your family through drop-in playtime, walks, or overnight stays depending on your needs. I am currently enrolled at the local university pursuing a major in architecture. Through my career of personal aid visiting different families in need, I have become familiar with the neighborhoods around town as well as the parks you may want your pet to visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I currently work on the weekend, and I also attend college. This frees up a lot of my time during the week. I love helping out others and seeing the animals in our community. As mentioned I have one cat, he loves to engage in chase and will either chase me or a Lazer pointer. I will meet all of you requirements as well as provide cuddles and play.

About: I hope your dog likes Vizslas! Kill two birds with one stone by letting them socialize while I care for them. Got an energetic pup? I’m a distance runner! I’ll take them running with me and return them to you tired and happy! I just moved to the area, can be very flexible with time, and would love to meet the local dog lovers and help them out as we all need a pet sitter here and there! Dog sitting also ties in to my business as a Field Rep with Life’s Abundance pet food! Contact me if you’re looking to switch to a healthier meal for your best friend! I’ll keep up with Crate training, leash training and any other daily lessons needed, daily exercise will depend on the dog’s energy demands, will follow owner’s instructions exactly on how to feed and time of day.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 13 for friends, and family, and I love it! I love any type of dog(s) and love to interact with them! I also have 3 dogs of my own at home, and they are the best. I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays anytime after 1 pm, as I have classes, and I am free at anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays! At home I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. They are super friendly and love to play with other dogs.

About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.

“Rikki was great. Super responsive and sent us lots of photos and updates. Also very conscientious about keeping our house tidy. She washed sheets and remade the bed and left the house in great shape. And our pup look d very content!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter/dog walker, and I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ve taken care of various types of animals since I was little! Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, or calm in-home care while you’re away, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including strong pullers and shy or anxious pups. I currently work full time, but usually I have a day or two off during the week and most weekends off. I will be able to provide care for your pet before or after the days I work, or most days/weekends that I am off. My townhome community has small grassy backyard patio areas and a dog park less than 100 feet away from my home, and I have one 3 year old pup named Tank (white shepherd/lab mix) who would love to become best friends with your pup!
