About: I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, including handling medications, providing frequent bathroom breaks, and making sure they are loved. I understand older and younger pets need different specialized care. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I make it a priority in my daily routine. I’m happy to work around my schedule to care for your pets needs. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I always follow feeding schedules and give them plenty of attention.

“Kristen always takes such good care of our dogs and treats them like her own. She send pics to let us know they’re doing ok. She is flexible and so kind. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi ! I’m Kharisma — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small pets of all kinds! Whether you have a high-energy pup who loves walks or a shy kitty who just wants cuddles and quiet time, I adjust my care to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive to routines, patient with all personalities, and always happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands. From playtime and belly rubs to medication reminders and special diets — I’ve got it covered! Whether it’s drop-ins, dog walking, or overnight stays, my goal is to keep your pet happy and your mind at ease. What makes me stand out: ✅ Personalized care based on your pet’s needs ✅ Calm, confident, and gentle with anxious or senior pets ✅ Clean, respectful, and communicative with pet parents ✅ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings welcome! Let’s chat! I’d love to meet you and your pet to see if we’re a great fit. 🐶🐱🐾 My schedule is always open for your furry friend ! I always make time to help out when it comes to pet care. I love animals of all kinds ! I currently don’t have a place for dogs or any other pets but I don’t mind pet sitting for a couple of hours in your home. I’ll walk , play and/or bathe if needed

About: 🎄 Now accepting new clients for the upcoming holiday season! Need someone reliable while you’re traveling, working, or spending time with family? I’m currently accepting new drop-in, house sitting, and walking clients for the holidays. I’m especially happy to help with last-minute care when my calendar allows — send me a request and let’s see if I’m a good fit for your pets! 🐾 I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making sure each pet feels happy and secure in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. This means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime rather than leaving them alone for long periods. House sitting & drop-in care are my specialties! 🐾 I love giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and routine while their people are away. I'm home full-time, have 6 years of pet-care experience, and can give your pets consistent care and plenty of photo updates throughout their stay. I also offer boarding in my home for families who prefer that option.

About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of my dogs. Throughout college I had many roommates with cats and grew a love for them as well. Growing up I used to make treats for animal shelters and had a dream of being a vet. Since I’ve realized how much of a dedication vet school is, this seems like a fun way to incorporate my love for animals into something part time. :) I love cardio and am always down for a morning, afternoon, and even night runs. I love to go to scenic spots and enjoy being outside. I am in between jobs right now, so I have open availability for any pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and one 14 year old West Highland Terrier. She is extremely spoiled, but loves new friends. We love to play fetch and play in the yard. The extra baths are worth our fun times outside together lol.

“Chrissy did awesome with our pups and was so patient with our pup that has anxiety with new people. She was so helpful and was able to give them their medicine! I definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”

Savannah E.

“Kaylin is AMAZING. I rest easy anytime I’m away, knowing she is caring for our dog and our home. She goes above and beyond and is extremely thoughtful. Our pup grieves when she leaves because he loves her (and George) so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for being such a trustworthy and kind person, Kaylin!”

Melissa S.

About: From the age of 15, I’ve had experience providing care for and walking the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and bathing dogs, as well as feeding cats. Additionally, I have a year’s worth of experience with horses. I am currently a substitute teacher for the GISD school district and am looking to keep myself busy and earn some extra cash during the Summer. I currently have full availability for the summer and will have evening and weekend availability once the next school year begins. I respect the home of both clients and their animals. I keep spaces clean and ensure sure the pets feels safe and comfortable around me.

“Darren is a thoughtful care giver for my fur babies. After months of not walking them, he got them back into a routine to help myself and my dogs on the road to wellness. Our home was cared for and has been super attentive to our needs. All instructions were followed and felt confident about Darren's care while we were on holiday. I highly recommend his services!”

About: hi, i'm sophie 🐶 10 years of pet care, 5.0 stars, and a very organized human who loves your dog like her own. 🎄 holiday spots are open! 🎄 peak dates book up fast, so message me early for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 📋 how i run things • only 1 or 2 dogs at a time, never a pack • your dog's meals, meds and walks happen on your schedule, to the minute • a report card with photos after every visit and every day of a stay: what they ate, potty breaks, mood, and anything they got into • i keep notes on your dog's routine so every stay picks up right where the last one left off 🐾 who i'm great with shy pups, seniors, anxious dogs, dogs who don't love other dogs, and special needs pups. totally comfortable with meds, including insulin and eye drops. 🏡 every boarding stay includes 🛁 a free bath and brush out before pickup 🧺 clean bedding and a sanitized crate 🛋️ couch and bed privileges 🎾 positive reinforcement training help if you want it 💛 regulars are my favorite weekly and monthly schedules get a discount, and your dog sees the same face every time. send me your dates or your weekly schedule. i reply fast 💛 sophie i work from home so i'm around all day, every day 🏡 weekly walks and drop ins are open weekdays and weekends, and boarding and day care are on my calendar too. since it's only ever 1 or 2 dogs here, my availability is real. if the calendar says open, i have room. want a standing weekly spot? message me and i'll hold it for you. I am home all day, so your dog is supervised the whole time instead of being left alone for stretches. We keep a set routine for meals, exercise, rest and crate time, which is what settles most dogs down fastest. I have a crate available if yours is crate trained or wants a quiet space of their own, and I sanitize it and wash all bedding between every stay. Potty breaks every couple of hours. I live in an apartment with no yard, so we walk instead, which means I am careful about leashes, harnesses and doors and I do not let dogs off leash anywhere that is not enclosed. Only 1 or 2 dogs are ever here at once, so there is no group play and no surprises with other people's dogs.

“Aaron was the best dog sitter I could have ever asked for. As a trusted pet sitter myself, I wanted someone who would care for my dogs the way I would care for others pets. Aaron exceeded my expectations! I have 3 large dogs and 2 of them have mobility/neurologic issues. He made sure everyone had their meds, communicated constantly, checked in on them multiple times a day, and notified me immediately if anyone was having issues. It’s such a huge relief knowing my pets were in good hands! I don’t even think my pets missed me all that much with Aaron watching them. ☺️”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel

This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest!

This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care.

“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”
