About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now, I have a 1.5 year old Lab named Knox who’s full of energy and love. He keeps me active, patience’s, and always on my toes! I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home. Because of them, I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help.

I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I trained my dog as a puppy & have been a reliable dog sitter for friends & family. I work early in the morning hours & have time in the afternoon/early evenings to take care of your pet! I love to get outside and exercise & would love to walk your dog! I have a small apartment, so not much space for a pet to wonder. I am always cautious when watching someone’s family pet & utilize the tools you may have in your home (leash,crate, etc) to keep your pet safe!

About: I've been taking care of various types of animals for over 7 years. I've been the primary caretaker for a Labrador as well.

Tiffani G.
“I have known Tiffani for several years and have counted on her countless times to take care of my German Shepherd’s. But it doesn’t end there, I work shift work and gone for 12 hours a day while working. Tiffani has always been there to help me, not just with letting them out, their feeding schedule and also helps me with tending to the chickens. I trust her to be at my house when I’m not present and wouldn’t know what to do without her. Honestly it would kinda suck if she got into Rover because it would interfere with her helping me. But, I’m sure there are a lot of people who could benefit from her presence with there animations. She trust worthy, hard working and honest.”

Theresa K.
“I am most pleased to write a testimony on my friend and dog sitter Theresa. I met Theresa through my sister three years ago. What a wonderful bright, loving young lady. She came to our house to meet my two English Springer Spaniels before coming to stay at our home for four day. I knew I loved her the minute she got out of her car. She gave me a sweet wave and at ONCE went right to the dogs to romp, hug and get down to meet. That sold me right away. I knew her heart was there to make me and my dogs comfortable with the job ahead! My pups do great with her. Lots of fun and love. She even sent me pictures of their weekend together to let me see how they were doing through the time we were away. Theresa will be a huge asset to you and your company. I wish her well in this position. I know you will get many good compliments from your clients after this young lady takes care of their furry friends!! Sincerely Kathy Roenne”
