6. Bonnie & Skyler B.
About: We have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as we can remember. We recently raised a litter of 9 Australian Sheppards in my home. We also have a lot of experience with cats! We are reliable and caring people. True animal lovers. Everyone that knows us knows that we spoil our dogs and treat them like family (probably even better). I am a CNA of 3 years and currently in nursing school. My boyfriend, Skyler, (who grew up on a farm) will also help care for your fur baby. We do not have a fenced yard but we have a long dog run that runs from one end of my yard to the other. We live in the country on 1.5 acres. We would love to take your dog on a walk and explore the woods behind my house! We have two friendly dogs (they love cats too) that will be your animal’s new best friend! We will treat your dogs like they are apart of our family. No crates or cages unless told to. We have several comfy couches and beds for your dogs to take naps on. They will love their stay with us!

About: As a pet lover and experienced caregiver, I treat pets like family. With years of experience caring for five dogs and three cats, I understand the importance of attention, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine to keep pets happy and healthy. Whether you have large dogs, small dogs, special-needs pets, or energetic puppies, I am fully equipped to meet their unique needs. I ensure they receive timely meals, medications (if needed), baths, and plenty of exercise to keep them engaged and content throughout the day. Your dog will also enjoy access to my gated half-acre lot, providing a safe space for them to run, play, and explore under careful supervision.For cat owners, I create a calm and cozy environment where your feline companions can feel safe and cared for. I ensure they stick to their feeding schedules, enjoy playtime with catnip toys (if they like), and have a clean, comfortable space to relax. I also provide regular brushing to keep their coats healthy and clean their litter boxes frequently to maintain a fresh environment. Your cat will receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. With me, your pet will feel right at home, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they are in loving, capable hands. I currently work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for extended periods. I know how important it is for pets to have companionship and consistent care while their owners are away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with a spacious, gated half-acre yard for exercise and plenty of indoor space for relaxation. I also have one friendly cats who are comfortable around other pets( but can be separated if needed) , ensuring a peaceful atmosphere.

18. Madeleine M.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5. Friends and family have relied on me to watch them when they go on vacation. I would do everything from walk and bathe. Have a fully fenced in big backyard, no holes to get out of. I have two chihuahuas that love everything and everyone. We have my boyfriend's little boy (6) every other weekend. We constantly keep an eye on everyone, but he's great with animals. I currently only work 2 days a week, I'm off 5 days. 8am-4pm, Sunday-Monday is my work week. I get off early most days. My boyfriend is home 3pm everyday. I have a fully fenced in backyard. Also if you do decide to choose my care, I'll put my dogs in the backyard or a separate room. I'll let your animals check out my home and get comfortable once that happens, they will meet one by one. Less stress on both sets of animals.
