About: I've had dogs my whole life and have loved each and every one of them. I currently have a big Siberian Husky who's the sweetest guy, but sometimes a handful. Let's just say I'm use to dogs that may pull on their leash or have a lot of energy! I'll be able to care for your pet and cater to their specific needs. It's very important for me to know that my dog is being cared for thoroughly and treated kindly when I'm away or not available to do so. That's why you can count on me to do the same for yours! I’m a full-time human mom and dog mom. :) I currently work part-time (out of the home :) ) so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. At home I have a fence for our dog, but he also goes on daily walks. I’m comfortable caring for your pet in whatever environment you need me to.

About: I have cared for pets my whole life. Starting at a very young age with neighbors and family pets. My love for pets grow every day. I help humane society and other animal charities as much as possible, as it pains me to see ANY animal go unloved or cared for. I am reliable and loyal to all of my fur baby friends!🤗 I currently work for myself as a cosmetologist/hairdresser/makeup artist. So my schedule is very flexible. I have a lot of time to fill in between clients and days off and I look forward to you committing myself to your pet needs! I currently do not have a place to provide pet care at home but will be happy to meet your pet needs at your home or in your neighborhood for walking! I do drive so I can drive to dog parks as well!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a pet lizard. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine! It is something that I genuinely love doing and am very passionate about. My schedule is incredibly flexible which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and other care throughout the week as needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow their normal routines and pay close attention to their needs so they feel relaxed and at ease. I’m careful during walks and visits, and I always make sure pets are supervised and secure. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners so you feel confident and worry-free while you’re away.

Sherry and her husband were fantastic. They cared for our puppy Maxwell for a week while we were out of town. They addressed all of his needs including medication and diet modifications. As he was recovering from a recent illness. In addition to carrying for Maxwell, they kept our home tidy and were flexible when our flight was canceled and we returned home a day late. Will definitely consider having them care for Maxwell in the future.

About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant administering medication, comforting pets, trained in helping pets in high stress situations, and moderate knowledge of veterinary medicine. I truly love every pet like my own. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with seniors, medications, puppies, and nervous pets. I understand how hard it is to be away, so I’m here to give your pets the same love and attention you would. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m mostly free throughout the day. This flexibility lets me give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication, giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s playing with kittens, helping seniors relax, or managing special needs, I treat every pet like family to ensure they’re happy and stress-free.

About: Over the years I've had experience with all stages and ages of pets, especially dogs, but also including horses, chickens, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats etc. I've raised and cared for my own pets from puppies to elder dogs, special needs to the most energetic (or anxious). I've taken in some willful and anxious fur babies that have thrived and became amazing loyal, obedient and loving companions. I have also been blessed with 4 amazing grown kiddos that have pets of their own and I get to care for them often and its the best!! Most of my/my families pets have been rescues but we've also had/have several pure bred Animals (Long-haired German Shepherd, Newfoundland, Maltese, Blue Pittie). I like to make sure the fur babies get lots of love and exercise, but its also okay if your pet is a bit more stand-offish. I truly appreciate when pet parents leave information about routine, pets personality and preferences and will follow instructions meticulously. Special needs, medications, puppy care, etc are also welcome (of course!!). Feel free to ask any questions...look forward to chatting and meeting you/your fur babies. I am an empty-nested Mom and Mimi with my kids' families being spread around CO, NC, TN, GA, STX so I travel to see kids/grandkids/family...a lot...and I love it. This gives me the flexibility to do house sitting/pet care around those visits (in some cases, I've done sits near my kids as well and check both boxes, pet care and visits with the fam). I'm looking to pet/house sit almost full-time around family visits. I'm also VERY open to traveling to pet sits outside my home base area, overseas as well. I lost my little Maltese "Smiles" a few years ago and have poured my snuggles into my kid's 6 dogs. With my travel schedule its hasn't felt like the right time to add a new pet to my personal life so getting to love on my families' pets and those that I sit for really helps fill that void. I only care for pets in your/their home. I am primarily looking for overnight sits, but will also be available for walks and drop-in care.

About: I have had dogs most of my life. I have been dog sitting for about 3 years, now. I used to be a housekeeper, so while I'm there I throw in some cleaning for free. Your house will never look worse than when I entered it. I will also water plants as needed, and will text pics of the dog for your peace of mind. I have also given dogs meds as needed, and in one emergency had to youtube how to give a particular shot. The dog ALWAYS comes first. I also have Good references. I am looking forward to staying with your dog I also cater to your pups needs. Some are frightened of thunderstorms, and they get extra cuddles during stormy weather! I am retired, so my time is very flexible. I have no problem house sitting and dog sitting pretty much any time, and holidays are not a problem, as I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I only do dog sitting at your home. This way your home and pets are safe while you are gone. I always leave a house the way I found it, if not cleaner. I can also care for your plants and water a garden as needed.

She took great care of out dog "Cashew" and gave him all the attention any dog could need and the fun pictures she sent kept us feeling good during our trip. I highly recommend using Jo and will be using her services again in the future.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small rodents. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I cared for through his senior years, and a Miniature Schnauzer/Jack Russell mix, whom I raised from a puppy. I also previously had a hedgehog named Harold for 8 years, and currently have a cat named Penelope (Nellie), who I absolutely adore and am so obsessed with. I am comfortable around even the most “difficult” pets and would love to care for your pets like my own! I have the most availability on evenings and weekends, and am typically available for major holidays as well. I know you can’t always predict when you will need pet care so I try to be available with short notice. I know the importance of a safe environment and will ensure that your pet’s space works best for his/her needs as well as your own.

Judith was absolutely WONDERFUL. It was our first time hiring a house/per sitter, but she completely put us at ease from the start. She sent updates and pictures, was very responsive, took amazing care of our dog, cat and our home. She was a pleasure to work with from the meet and greet to our coming home. We're so pleased and couldn't recommend her more!

Laura did a fantastic job caring for our dog and cat and our house. She sent numerous photos of our pets during the time we were gone, showing the good time they were having with her and making us feel comfortable with leaving them with her. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again,
