10. Margo T.
About: I grew up with a dog and frequently dog-sat for neighbors as a child. Recently, I’ve been dog-sitting a service dog in training twice a week. I love all animals and will give your pet plenty of love and care! I am currently in between my master's degree and my PhD (will start in February) so I am very open to work and would love to fill my time caring for animals. When walking dogs, I always ensure they are on the side of me that is opposite to the road. I am especially careful with dogs around other dogs and will always respect the wishes of the owner and the other pets involved. Most importantly, I make sure I give all pets the most love and care as possible!

15. Anna Grace D.
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, own and train horses, and volunteer in local shelters! I've been coined an animal whisperer... pets always seem to gravitate towards me! Great with pets of all ages and training level. Currently going to school, but have a fairly open schedule so I am flexible! Mornings and evenings are generally more open but can often arrange mid-day as well. I am very flexible when it comes to the care of your pets in your home! Whether they have a backyard to play in, need to be walked, fed, or crated, your animals' care and safety is my top priority.
16. Tatum S.
“Tatum has watched my and my family’s pets over the years. She is a true animal lover and a great caregiver to friends of all species! She is responsible, organized, and reliable.”
17. Nicholas C.
About: Having raised my parents' Border Collie from a puppy, I have years of hands-on experience caring for an energetic, intelligent breed. From daily walks and outdoor adventures to consistent training and providing mental stimulation, I’ve learned the ins and outs of keeping a high-energy dog happy and healthy. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of tailoring care to meet a pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to the flexibility I have in my schedule. I typically work from 9am-3pm, Monday through Friday, but I'm able to adjust my availability as needed to accommodate pet sitting, walking, or drop-in visits. This flexibility allows me to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need, whether it's fitting in morning walks, afternoon playtime, or personalized attention throughout the day. Being able to structure my day around each pet’s routine ensures I can provide consistent, high-quality care. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I make sure to create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each pet's unique needs. For dogs, this means plenty of outdoor time, structured walks, and interactive play to burn off energy, while ensuring they have a cozy space to rest indoors. I maintain regular feeding schedules, offer fresh water, and keep an eye on any special dietary requirements. In the client’s home, I prioritize keeping the pet’s routine consistent to minimize stress, and I’m always respectful of their space, leaving the home tidy and secure. My goal is to provide pets with the love, attention, and care they need to feel right at home, wherever that may be.

19. Devon G.
“Devon is great with all sorts of pets. She has experience with dogs and cats of all ages and chickens and horses and goats to name a few. She is gentle and kind and very responsible.”
20. Maggie H.
“Maggie was so easy to work with and provided great care to our kitty while we were gone. She was very flexible with us and kept open communication. Thank you Maggie!”
