About: I love to work with animal, I’ve been in the veterinary profession for 10+ years. If your pet has special care instructions I will follow them perfectly. I have dogs, cats, and horses at home so I am very comfortable working with all sizes of animals. I also know how to care for birds, fish, guinea pigs, and hamsters and pigs. I know how much a pet can mean to someone so ill will care for yours as if they were my own I currently work 4 days a week. I am available Fridays to Sunday’s if you are looking for a weekend getaway or if you have a busy weekend and would like your dog to go for a walk I don’t offer in my home dog services but can offer cat or small animal boarding. You tell me home you’d like your pet cared for, weather it’s taking them for a walk or just letting them out in a fenced in area

“Huanchi took great care of my pets, he was reliable and was available last minute. I know my Willie will look forward to seeing him again. Thank you Huanchi!”

“Meaghon was the best! She went above and beyond to care for all of our pets and our home while we were away for the holidays. She communicated often and sent us a lot of pictures. She made sure our pets had lots of love and attention while we were gone. We were so lucky to find her and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Colin took care of my rescue pup, Annie, a black lab mix with special needs, for an extended stay after a previous sitter had to cancel at the last minute. You could tell right off what a pet lover he was. He asked many good questions at the meet and greet, was punctual and handled Annie’s energy well on a leash. Colin sent me pictures and multiple daily updates on how she was doing. Giving her daily meds, tennis ball play times and long walks to help with her anxiety were part of a daily routine. I came home to a tired and happy pup. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone needing pet sitting services! Jain & Annie”

“Sam took wonderful care of our 2 dogs that both required medication and extra attention. She kept in close contact with us throughout our time away. We lost power for a stretch and she took this in stride and kept us up to date on the dogs and the house. We will definitely plan to have Sam come look after the dogs again.”

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.

“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”

“Felicia took care of my dog and two cats for a long weekend. She is calm, patient, loving, and responsible and I highly recommend her services. My dog is shy and hesitant with new people but became very comfortable with Felicia who also kept me nice and up to date with how the animals were doing while I was away.”

“Great communication and photos with each visit. Our puppy and cats seemed very happy and healthy while we were traveling. We would work with Jeffery in the future.”

About: Have owned/cared for all ages.Willingness to train puppies. Favor outdoor activities such as walks. Very fond of animals and comfortable around them in home or public. Currently working part-time from home so flexible schedule for now. Willing to stay over when my schedule allows but probably no more than 36 hours Can not care for a dog in my current living situation. If ok, happy to bring your pet in my car for local road trips.

“Jocelyn was fantastic! Attentive to a very self centered Weim who has separation anxiety! She checked in often over the full day and LJ was exhausted when she left. They played outside, snuggled and went on walks. Jocelyn is very relaxed and I think that really helped with how LJ reacted to her. We are absolutely going to invite her to our home again!”

About: I volunteer with the darbster foundation as much as I can with school. Taking care of all animals is a passion of mine from dogs all the way to birds. I work full time as of right now and I’m attending school. For the moment I can only do weekend boarding for dogs because I want to make sure your animal can get the attention it deserves. I have one cat who tends to mind his business and snooze in hidden spaces. Unless the parents have a schedule that needs to be followed for their fur baby they are allowed to roam around the apartment and use the furniture as much as they’d like. As for animals in the clients home I will surely make sure they’re entertained and exercised; however, the specifics of pet care will ultimately be determined by the customer as I know no one dog can be cared for the same.

About: I have worked with animals for decades. I am a certified dog behavior consultant. I have many years of experience. I managed an animal shelter, had a sitting business, have a dog training business. I have experience with a variety of animals and can handle many medical needs such as giving injections. Can handle many behavior issues. I am very patient and calm with animals. I grew up with horses and other animals. I have extensive experience and education. I look forward to caring for your animals. I will have clients to visit but I can schedule them around caring for your animals, never leaving too long and being sure your animals care is provided. My schedule is pretty flexible. I can stay at your home and follow your routine with your animals as much as possible. I will meet with you to go over how to care for your animals in your home.

“Erinn is the best! We have two senior dogs, one with special needs after having IVDD surgery, and when we came back from our little trip they were happy as ever. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”

About: I've grown up with all sorts of animals thru out my life...Quite comfortable with all working breeds the bigger the BETTER. Will consider a lil one who has the big breed attitude in his/her mentality....I've raised Akitas & owned them thru out my children's lives. My last doggie was a Bassett hound who has since passed. (Foto). If given the privilege of taking care of your big or small creature it will be treated as if they are my own. My experience speaks for itself & very capable , happy to take the responsibility of given ur pups/other a second home w/TLC. Thank you kindly in advance for your consideration in choosing moi as your trusted sitter ( now & longterm). Best y’all🐾 The pups that come in are either in yard or garden n house with supervision . Do work partime therefore I’m able to handle at least 5 dogs that are hopefully well trained. Being flexible is helpful when boarding & have a safe , good environment at a second home for your beasts. Besides having a long big yard to run around , also take pets to trails etc… walks are a must to get different smells & explore . If you like an additional specific outing I will try to fit that IN if possible.

“Ashley did an exceptionally good job house sitting for our Aussie, Nova during our recent trip. This was Nova’s first time with a sitter and judging from the photos that Ashley sent us every day, Nova had a ball. We had asked Ashley to water quite a few plants, fill the bird feeders and birdbath, take in the mail, etc., and she followed our instructions to a tee. She contacted us with a few questions which were glad to see. Ashley was diligent about removing ticks from Nova and Nova’s coat looked silky and well-brushed when we returned. She left the house spotless and even washed her sheets and towels and made the bed without being asked to do so. Ashley is intelligent, personable, mature and responsible. We will definitely invite her to care for Nova again.”

“Ria is amazing! I was anxious about having someone watch my dog for the first time, but when we met Ria my dog (who has stranger danger) immediately loved her! As a giant breed, he has some detailed care needs that were followed to a T. She sent us an abundance of photos and videos as well as communicated how his days went periodically which helped ease my mind. I’m so thankful we found Ria and will certainly be using her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From growing up with dogs to caring for my own as an adult, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. I also previously walked and cared for dogs for clients years ago, giving me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals — and I’ll care for your dog the same way I would want someone to care for mine. Providing pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part time as a healthcare professional, which gives me several days off during the week, including weekends, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care for your pets. On the days I do work, I still have availability during mornings and evenings for feedings, walks, check-ins, playtime, and companionship. Because caring for others is already a big part of who I am professionally and personally, I bring the same level of responsibility, patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for both pets and their owners, and I truly enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. I provide a calm, clean, loving, and supervised environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. During walks and playtime, I stay highly attentive by using secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas or interactions, monitoring weather conditions, and always ensuring pets are safely supervised both indoors and outdoors. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I take the time to build trust and provide individualized care, patience, and affection. As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I take responsibility and safety very seriously, and you can feel confident knowing your pets will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own.

“Austin is a true animal lover. He genuinely likes to spend time with them. He was very attentive to our elderly cat and dog, and extremely conscientious about following the specific instructions I left for him. He sent updates and communicated as needed during his stay. I have finally found someone with whom I feel at ease leaving them. We are booking Austin to watch our pets again in a couple of months.”
