About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for 3+ years and have loved every minute—tail wags, belly rubs, zoomies, and all! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors, and I’m totally comfortable with multiple dogs at once. Whether we’re hanging out at your place or mine, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’m down for whatever—park adventures, yard play, chill time, or snuggles on the couch. I’ve got some flexibility in my schedule too, so I can work around your pet’s routine. Your dog’s happiness is always my priority! I work full time, but only three days a week, and I attend school part-time online—so I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Whether you need drop-ins, overnights, or extended stays, I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine. With my online classes and open days, I’m able to provide lots of love, attention, and playtime throughout the week! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and cozy space where your pup can feel totally at ease! At my place, there are comfy dog beds for napping, toys for playtime, and plenty of love to go around. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or a ball-chasing pro, I make sure they’re happy and cared for like family. I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and always keep their safety and comfort top of mind. Whether we’re hanging out at your home or mine, your pup will be in good hands and good vibes!

About: I've had dogs since I was 5 and have worked with them for the past 2 and a half years. I've trained several puppies, taken care of my own elderly pups when they had arthritis, cancer, and other illnesses that come with old age. I am fully committed to caring for your pets so long as it does not interfere with other clients. Anytime even 2am if need be. My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible in the absence of their favorite humans (you). I always treat my clients and their fur babies with respect and care.

“Misty was wonderful with Mickey. Very attentive and follow directions. She was a great drop in visit sitter and will definitely hire again for any future drop in.”

About: After having three dogs for many years, I am an expert at walking more than one--with expandable leashes, it's like flying three kites at once! In addition to long (or short) walks, I also like snuggling with pups on the couch. I currently have one 20-pound pup who gets along with almost all other dogs and loves having guests. For boarding and daycare, a meet and greet is a must. I have a very flexible work schedule and I mostly work from my home. I love taking frequent walks and petting dogs throughout the workday. I do not have a yard but like taking walks at all times of day, so your pup can still get plenty of exercise. I am familiar with senior dog care and am comfortable giving pills, following special diets, etc.

About: I've had a dog as part of my family for as long as I can remember. I would walk, feed, and clean up after them as I grew up. At the age of 16, I found my pup, Tessa, at the Animal Humane and got my first job just so I could have her (Yes, I paid for everything for her by myself). Since then I have had her by my side through finishing high school, finishing my undergrad, moving cities and states. When I was finishing my undergrad I decided to get another pup so my girl could have a sibling especially once I started working full time. I got my boy, Haka, at six weeks old and now he is 6yrs. Growing up I use to walk my neighbors pug multiple times a week. When in high school we had multiple dogs in the household that required extra care and attention due to their different personalities and temperaments. With my dog being bigger than the other dogs in my family I had to take measures to ensure all of them remained safe. This mainly involved having different play times and feeding them separately. For example: One of the dogs was very territorial over toys and would lash out at any other dog that came around, however, this pup was the smallest one so it was essential for me to mitigate the opportunity for a bad situation. This involved monitoring the situation at all times when the toy was out, keeping the dogs separated, or removing the toys altogether. I’m currently shifting to a new career field, so I am at home full time and plan to be throughout summer. I am a very active person with two of my own high energy pups that love to play at home or the dog park and loves walks/runs. I live in a townhome that has a relatively small yard and have a dog door that allows for anytime potty breaks. I have a tall back fence completely enclosing the yard. I live with a mile of two parks and the walking path on Tramway, and a few miles from trails or the dog park. The safety of mine and your pets is the main priority, so transparency is very important. All animals have different personalities, and stress of a new environment can change how they behave so it’s important that I know how they may react so I can put proper measures in place to keep everyone safe.

About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take good care of their pets and were never disappointed and could always depend on me.

I have always enjoyed playing with pets of all kinds.i have experience caring for horses, cats, chickens, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, plants, etc. I have grown up with animals and just love having the furry companions around. I enjoy walking dogs and checking in on pets for clients who ask me to check on them. I like to play and cuddle with pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals of all sizes. I’m comfortable caring for both big dogs and cats, and I’ve had pets of various breeds and sizes throughout my life.

I also offer a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate what works best for the client.

In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat each home with respect and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I keep clients updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: I have always been an animal lover. I volunteer my time through BernCo and Eastside Animal shelters. I do this because it recharges my soul. I have experience in puppies and seniors. I get on their level. Look them in the eyes and tell them how great they are. I never rush meeting a new pet. I make sure they know me before thier parent just leaves them. I try to get one on one time first. A short walk. A belly rub. A snack or two ...and always smell like bacon. I have an open schedule. Very flexible with my time. I do not pet sit multiple families at one time. My time is for your pet I use puppy pads for my fosters until they have learned to dig it from my other dogs. I follow the owners schedule. I'm there for you and your pet

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, frogs, and fish - and I absolutely love caring for them! I recently moved from Pennsylvania and had to leave my pets with family for now, so getting to spend time with other people’s furry friends brings me so much joy. I have experience with both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I always make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the positive energy I bring to every visit! I’m available on weekends with at least 3 days’ notice, and weekdays after 5 PM. My schedule will be changing in June, so I’ll keep you updated as it shifts! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a small dog yard and walking trails just steps away—perfect for outdoor time and exercise. I’m also right near the mountains, so your pet will be surrounded by nature and fresh air. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow any care instructions closely and treat every pet like family to build trust and make them feel right at home❤️

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and i’ve had many different breeds. I was the neighborhood dog walker when I was in middle school. I am working a part time job and I am in school but I am able to walk your dog every 3-4 hours during the week I have a fenced in yard for my dog and usually let him outside every hour or so. I also feed him dry food in the morning and wet and dry food at night

“Montgomery’s experience with animals was so appreciated when she spent time with our two dogs. Both are giant breeds and have been rescued. With one, we are working on anxiety and meeting people. So, Montgomery’s speciality behavioural training with dogs was wonderful to know about and see in action when she met and spent time with both dogs. We were impressed with her attention to detail and questions asked. The most important aspect was how comfortable and easily our dogs adapted to her and paid attention to her. Thank you so much. We are looking forward to having Montgomery take care of our dogs again.”

“Kara was a lifesaver as we booked her last minute!! She was GREAT with communication, letting us know when she arrived and that they did well meeting her for the first time. She let us know how well our pup got along with her, played, ate and pottied. She sent photos and lots of details! We highly recommend and will be using again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 12… from dogs, to cats, to horses. I volunteered for a no kill animal shelter as a teenager where I cared for, exercised, and assisted in adoption efforts. I’m relied on by neighbors and friends to walk and care for their animals and look forward to caring for yours. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me plenty of time to care for your animals. I enjoy walking and hiking in the mountains with my dogs and look forward to incorporating yours. I have a fenced yard with 2.5 acres of land. I have a section fenced off in the backyard for smaller animals. I have two friendly dogs for your animals to play with.

About: I have taken care of animals as far back as a kid. I was the neighbor who loved other people's fur kids. Through the years I have traveled being a military spouse and I was the spouse who always took in others' pets while they went on vacations or work-related trips. I have also done volunteer work at shelters and been a foster parent for dogs/cats when needed. I spent some time in Tanzania one summer and quickly became the cow and chicken whisperer at an orphanage I volunteered at. I am able to do drop-in or babysit your fur kids at my home; as I am always home. I am currently a full-time online college student and do not currently work. In the past years, I have done a lot of volunteer work with shelters and was an educational assistant to special needs kids in the public school system. Cats and dogs are welcome in my home, and I have dog/cat beds available for their comfort. I also have three small dogs of my own that are super dog and cat friendly. We also have a seven-month-old kitten we adopted and he does well with other cats and dogs. I do not have a gated fence, as mine are trained to stay in the yard. I can take other pets out on a leash and walk for potty breaks. We have 7 acres. For drop-ins, I can feed, water, and walk your pets. I also do clean up after them and spend time playing and loving on your pets too.

About: I have lots of flexibility throughout the day and on the weekends. I’m a proud fur mama of a 4 year old Shih Tzu. She’s very well behaved and loves other animals and people. We don’t have any other children or pets so when I pet sit she gets the opportunity to play with her friends at home. We have an open home where the dogs are free to roam around or in and out of the house to our gated and secure backyard. I wanted to become a sitter for a couple reasons. I know what its like looking for a dog sitter myself. It’s hard to know who to trust with our fury family members. I’m responsible, reliable, and most importantly I have integrity. My other reason is because, I enjoy it! I work part time as a Registered Nurse. If I have accepted to care for your dog in my home that is because I will be home all day to care for your furry friend. I will have time to play with them, take them for walks, and give them the attention they need. Safety is number one in my book. My home is clean and free of clutter. Pets are free to play in our secured and large fenced areas and watched carefully.
