“Jacqueline did such a great job with my timid little beagle. She was patient and kind, and I look forward to having her walk my little girl again so I can get to know her better!”

“Andrea was wonderful. She listened to all instructions and advice and she seemed to handle my large spunky dogs well! I also appreciated that she took them for quite a long walk. I would highly recommend her, and will try to book her in the future!”

About: As someone who not only has pets but spent over a year working at a pet store I’ve cared for many different types of dogs, learned how to read animal behavior, and understand the importance of safety, routine, and trust. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat, so I’m used to balancing walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I already plan my days around caring for my own pets, it’s easy for me to incorporate walks, drop-ins, and sitting for others. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes timely feedings, regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and I closely monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and safe.

About: I have been caring for pets since I was young, as we have always had dogs and cats. Over the last couple of ears have started to house pet sit for familv and friends, as well as dog walking. I am currently attending college 2 days a week (mondays and Wednesday's) and work 8-5 during the week as well. I would like to be able to take care of pets on the weekends when I can. and maybe after work if that works out. I am very knowledgeable on how to care for animals. I will be careful when getting to the home and leaving the home to make sure the pet is in excellent care. While taking care of the pet I will be in contact with the owner.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and am extremely experienced to take care of any needs your four (or three) legged furry friend may need. I have trained and raised puppies, demonstrated tons of patience for senior care, and am comfortable around taking care of dogs with behavioral issues. My spring schedule has classes on Mondays and Wednesdays so any other days I’m open with flexibility. Feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling. Any special care can be arranged. Any schedule you have with your pet I can accommodate to the best of my abilities. I want to make your pet feel the most comfortable with you being away from home.

About: I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and ages my whole adult life. I'm happy to go for long walks, play, or even just relax with your pets if that's what they need. I'm happy to take care of puppies all the way to seniors and give medication when needed. I work part time at a reasturant so I am available most days. When I do work it's late afternoon until mid evening. I'm happy to check and let out your fur babies before and after I work. I will always make sure they are taken care of and happy before I go. I will always respect and do what is required for your fur baby. I prefer anything very specific to be written down so I can follow each step to its specific need for your pets.

“Ava and her boyfriend took my two large dogs out for a walk while I was away. They did a great job. They came within the timeframe we had selected. Ava handled the hot weather and my dogs high energy fine. My dogs seemed happy and relaxed when I got home!”

I have administered medicine and have attention for details and care with specific pet needs. I am patient and am willing to work with most any pet! I currently have 3 cats who are my babies. I've worked with small dogs and frequently handle dogs up to 100lbs. I love the outdoors and making sure your family members have the best care possible while you are away! I would love to get to know your pets! I'm currently incredibly flexible with my schedule. As long as I have adequate notice I will be available most any day! I am used to caring for pets all day everyday. I can am willing to accommodate whatever care your pet needs to be comfortable, safe and cared for why you are away. I treasure animals like family and I can assure that they will be well looked after.

About: I have had a dog for over 12 years and have always been an animal person. I have dog+house sat for a family friend for about a week earlier this year and had no issues! I don’t have as much experience with cats, but anyone I know with them I enjoy playing with! I am currently in nursing school and do a lot of my work at home on my laptop. I have school about 3 days a week so I think pet sitting is a perfect fit for my schedule! I would prefer to watch pets at the owners home but that could always be a conversation if that is an issue just let me know.

“Shayla took very good care of my girls. She was also great at communicating with me.”

I have experience providing diabetic care, administering medications, and providing sub-q fluids as well. Please inquire further about my specific availability. I typically have availability in mornings, afternoons, and weekends but I have a pretty flexible schedule right now My cats are all indoors and I like to make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention.

About: Ever since I was a kid I would take care of my two dogs growing up and other dogs all around the neighborhood when needed. I have a love for all animals and am trying to fit a job with that passion. I am a full time college student with 2-3 hours of class a day, mostly done in the morning I would have all afternoon to be available. I have a big fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs at home. I can walk and play with your dog if he/she has too much energy. I will make sure your puppy aways has water and food when needed.

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m experienced and comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m a huge dog person who truly loves spending time with them—whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them extra attention and affection. As a college student with classes only two days a week, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care during weekdays, weekends, and even last-minute requests. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Every dog I care for is treated like part of my own family, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a college student and only have class two days a week, so I have a lot of free time during the rest of the week. Because of that, I’ve started offering pet-sitting and dog-walking services to make good use of my schedule. My open availability makes it easy to help pet owners who work long hours, travel, or just need someone dependable to check in on their animals. I can handle daily walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care, and I’m available on short notice most weekdays and weekends. Pet sitting has been a great way to earn extra money while spending time with animals, and it fits perfectly with my flexible college routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my goal is to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while following the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home: I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication if needed. I keep the home tidy, give pets plenty of attention, and send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing. In my home (if applicable): I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with room to play and relax. Dogs get regular walks, exercise, and cuddle time, and I keep their feeding and bathroom schedules consistent with what they’re used to. Because I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, I can spend extra time with pets, giving them the attention and care they need throughout the day instead of just quick check-ins.

About: Hi there! I have years upon years of pet care experience. From pet sitting my neighbors ducks and chickens to staying in home dog sitting. I work at my local animal rescue/grooming salon and have lots of knowledge on a wide variety of animals. I regularly care for puppies and our senior babies as well. My employment at the rescue has given me lots of hands on experience, I regularly handle reactive and insecure dogs. I medicate both cats and dogs daily as well as regularly care for a deaf and blind handicapped dog that has frequent seizures I work Saturday through Tuesday. Saturday and Sunday I work in the morning and would be available after 1pm. Thursday’s and Fridays I can be available anytime, when I work on the weekends I get up at 5am so mornings are not an issue. I’m really flexible and willing to work with you! If you have any questions on times just let me know! Your pet’s safety is my number 1 priority. Working at the rescue has really sharpened my observation skills on animal behavior. I will never force an animal to do something that is overly uncomfortable, too overstimulating or threatens their overall health or wellbeing. I am a very patient person and willing to work with you and your fur friend on any insecurities or issue that may arise!
