About: I am a huge animal person and love to take care and play with your pets of any kind! I have been cat sitting and dog walking for years for family and neighbors, and have always been there for even a short pop-in visit. Working in my local animal shelter I specialized in both feline and canine care, and know everything about keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have two cats of my own that I treat like my babies and grew up with dogs all my life, and I hope I can treat your pets as good as my own! I am currently working part time with a varying schedule, but will typically have the same days off every week which will allow me to have a more consistent schedule when caring for your pet. I will always approach a new dog or cat with caution and assess their behavior before jumping right in, not only for my well-being but also theirs to avoid any extra stress.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.

About: I strive to care for all animals with the utmost respect and kindness! I am very patient and will always interact with your pets as if they were my own. I have 6+ years of experience caring for my own cats, dog sitting, watching chickens, and volunteering through KC Pet Project. I’m currently available full time and free most evenings and weekends to care for your pets. I am also usually free and in town during holidays. I am happy to accommodate your busy schedule! I take a calm and gentle approach and will respect and accommodate any needs of the pets I care for. I understand that all animals are unique and am excited to cater my services to your pet's personality.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. As a college student and athlete, I’m dependable, responsible, and active, so your pets will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a mix of online and in-person classes, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I also play collegiate soccer, but I plan my schedule carefully and update my availability regularly. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks during my free time, as well as many evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always keep their well-being first.

“Jessica has been amazing with Ace! I broke my leg and needed some extra help to take care of him throughout the day! She has gone above and beyond. She is super responsive. I appreciate that she could come and help out very last minute! Would highly recommend booking with her as she knows what she’s doing and really loves the fur babies!”

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

About: Hi, I'm Sophie! I grew up surrounded by animals and have been pet sitting for over 12 years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I regularly walk dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable, loving care so your pet will be in good hands. I work 3 days a week so I have lots of time to keep your pets happy! My schedule varies weekly and can be flexible. I follow your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and happy. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection

“Came over the day before to meet Sawyer. Went for walk on trail near my house even though I said they could just walk the neighborhood. Went above and beyond, would book again!”

“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”

About: I got my first family dog when I was in middle school, no professional experience but I know to handle and care for dogs, wanting to gain some professional experience I currently work part time, about 30 hours a week. Weekday evenings after 5, Friday afternoons/evenings, and weekends are free! Looking to help with short term dog care as I gain experience in pet care. I don’t currently have any pets, but I have a spacious apartment with a fenced in backyard and a small front yard. Near lots of parks.

About: I groom dogs as well as have an existing client base with pet sitting/dog walking. I also used to be a rabbit breeder and have general experience with many animals. I originally worked in a dog daycare/hotel and shifted to grooming after moving to PA My work/school schedule isn't consistent. But generally I'm awake between the hours of 5am-11pm with wake up times and sleep times varying around those marks. Whatever schedule your pup needs I'm able to accommodate. I have an extremely friendly and passive Corgi named Fiona and a friendly and playful Pomeranian named Victoria. I have have 2 cats but they are able to be separated if it's an issue for your friend.

About: I’ve been owned by several (rescue) dogs and a few cats. Am capable a caring for multiple pets in household. Have lived with 3 dogs for several years. I’m good with all animals and have a tendency to make a critter calm. Senior dogs are a specialty and regular medications are no problem. Done a lot of house sitting for pets and home security. Day care and overnights easy as I am retired with only a few obligations with my time. I am retired so an abundance of time is available. I do have a commitment to sit with a dog and two cats every Wednesday. I feed/walk/play with two dogs every evening and a long walk on Saturday afternoon. I clean a home once a month on my schedule. I am involved in my church (Sunday worship and once a month vestry meetings). If you desire overnight stays or extended visits I’m able to do that as long as leaving for above mentioned obligations works with your pet. My specialty is senior dogs. I prefer smaller dogs as I am older fella and wouldn’t want to lose grip walking or caring for large dogs. Feeding/walks/medications not a problem If doing check ins I am punctual and trustworthy in your home.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!

About: I will treat your dog the way I treat my own. I know what it’s like to leave your baby with a new person. You’ll have nothing to worry about. I’ll give your dog all the love care and play they could want. I’m a travel nurse, and I am in between contracts so I am free every day! Your dog will have my full attention and all my love. I put the safety and happiness of your pet first. I pay attention to detail and cleanliness. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is a typical golden retriever, she doesn’t have an aggressive or bossy bone in her body. She loves everyone and everything. So your dog will be very comfortable.

“Susan and her family are great with my puppy! Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 years old, and we always had a dog or two in the house when I was growing up. This taught me responsibility and love for all dogs! I’ve taken care of many puppies, trained my own dogs from birth, and more. I tend to gravitate towards dogs and dogs tend to gravitate towards me. In my care, your dog will receive endless amounts of love and playtime between myself and my dogs, responsible care, a yard and frequent potty/food breaks, and a stress free experience for both you and your dog! I’m currently working full-time, but I am able to come home on lunch breaks Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to interact with the dogs. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, off Saturdays and Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible so you can bet your dog will be taken care of! I have a fenced in back and front yard, and two sweet, trained, cuddly labs for your fur friend to play with (they love playing)! If I need to be away at any time, I can easily crate your dog next to my crate trained dogs. My dogs also enjoy the off leash dog parks, so if you are comfortable with it, I would take your dog to them for extra playtime! I feed my dogs twice a day, but can adjust to your dogs feeding schedule. I take my dogs out to potty about every 4 hours, but again, can adjust to your dogs potty needs. If in your home, your rules will be followed and I will only accept as long as I’m able to meet ALL of your needs. My goal is to provide a stress free home/experience for any fur friends needed!

“She is thee best with Topanga and training her how to jog with her! Something that this young 2 years old need while I get beat up in corporate world. Providing a better life for the both of us. Also made me comfortable that she have American bulldogs too!”
