About: What sets me apart is the genuine bond I create with each pet. I don’t just watch over them—I engage, play, and comfort them as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away.” I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m able to work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Weekdays and weekends are both open for bookings, and I’m happy to provide consistent care for regular clients or one-time help when you need it most. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I’ll stick closely to your feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to make sure everything feels familiar while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, loving environment where every animal feels secure and cared for. I’m attentive to details, from keeping doors and gates secure to making sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I believe in building trust not just with pets, but with their people too. You can expect regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers quiet snuggles, I adjust to their needs to keep them happy and stress-free.

About: I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, fish, hermit crabs, tarantulas and many other types of pets of my own (cats and dogs my whole life) as well as cared for friends and family's pets since I was a little kid. I also volunteered at many local animal shelters in my late teens. I also have experience with different types of special needs animals; mostly cats in that aspect. (Paralyzed, deaf, blind, epileptic, diabetic and tri-pod) My daily and weekly schedule changes with my regular work schedule and my kids school schedule, but I am typically available during day time hours on weekdays, most likely at least one available night time drop-in available and can make myself available on Saturdays, if need be. Your pet will be more comfortable in an familiar environment such as their own home, so I would prefer to see them in their own home. I ask you leave a note somewhere prominent (i.e. kitchen table or counter) with quick point reminders of food/water bowl locations, food locations, treats, and any special reminders such as medications w/ times. I will take time to get to know your pet, play with them if they like or pets, loves snuggles... It's really all about what your pet wants/needs from me! I will also have my 17 year old daughter and/or my 12 year old daughter along to help care for your pet(s), if that's OK with you. Between the three of us we can run your whole zoo if you'd like!! We can do walkies for pets that need a little extra excersize. Shopping trips to pet-friendly local areas/shops/parks if wanted/permissible!

About: I've worked in animal welfare for almost eight years. I was a shelter manager and later assistant director for two local shelters. When I worked at shelters, I was one of many primary care takers for between 80-150 cats and 8-15 dogs. I'd monitor wellness, provide enrichment, and provide all necessary medication for animals. I am vaccine certified and comfortable with dogs of any breed/size, cats, many small mammals and most birds. I work full time Monday through Friday. I have semi-flexible 8:00-5:00 work hours and an hour lunch. I work partially from home and can work from your home if needed. I am deeply familiar with any and all signs of illness in animals after having worked in animal shelters for so long. I can also read dog body language, I am fear-free certified and able to work with reactive pups. I will send frequent photos and updates, I know pets are family! I recognize I am a guest in your home and will follow any and all rules provided.

About: I’m a total animal lover and have lots of experience with many different kinds of animals. I look forward to helping pets feel safe, loved and cared for while their owners are away. I will go the extra mile for your pets ALWAYS! I’m a photographer so my schedule is very flexible with my photo sessions usually only lasting one hour. I am home editing most of the time and free to give animals the quality time and care that they need. I live in a 3 level town house where I have watched several cats and dogs. I have a yard that is not fenced in but two blocks away is a large hidden field where we like to play fetch and sometimes we go several times a day to burn some energy.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for various pets, including my own two dogs—a Boxer and a Pit Bull. I played a key role in training them, ensuring they were well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I've taken care of pets for my parents' friends and looked after a friend's dog during her late-night clinicals in college. My diverse experience and dedication to each pet's well-being set me apart, ensuring your furry friend receives top-notch care and attention. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I can easily fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I'm available to work whenever needed or requested, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve. I genuinely love working with dogs and have a natural ability to connect with them. My calm and patient demeanor helps me handle pets effectively, even when they don’t listen right away. With my own dogs, we’ve successfully trained them while maintaining patience and understanding. When caring for other dogs, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and handle any issues with a caring and attentive approach, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved. I understand as a dog owner myself that pets are also a member of the family and they need about the same care and attention as a human.

About: I always had dogs in the house growing up. I treat them like my own kids, and I will do the same for yours! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors. I'm always looking out for their needs and making sure they are comfortable and happy. We are home at all hours of the day so availability is very flexible! We love to be active and can't wait to play with your pup! I want to give busy owners the comfort and security I would want if a stranger was watching my dog. I will be in touch frequently with photos and updates while caring for your dog.

“Really happy to find a person that’s comfortable with a big, strong, and willful dog! Makes it easier to leave for work knowing that Michelle will give Maddie great care on her walks!”

About: Recently adopted a senior rescue and looking to share the love. Have had pets since birth and love them unconditionally. Grew up with a variety of breeds and ages. I'm currently not working and have a very flexible schedule along with reliable transportation. Available to stay in your home and am a responsible and reliable caregiver. I do have a yard but would prefer to sit with your pet in his/her home environment to ensure the most comfort as possible. Can't wait to love your furry friend.

About: I’ve had many different pets in my life- fish, cats, hamsters, geckos; and dogs of friends and family. I am a natural caregiver and treat every animal like it’s my own. I love being outside and going for walks but I’m happy to turn on a good show and get some snuggles in too. I can help with any cleaning, bathing, playing, and feeding. I’m happy to do it! My current schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets throughout the week. I’m typically available mornings, evenings, and many mid-day hours depending on the day, making it easy for me to accommodate drop-ins, feedings, litter box care, and playtime visits. I’m not able to bring any pets to my home. I can for your animals at your house and stay there with them or take them for walks.

I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student. Due to scheduling with my child’s other parent I am available every other weekend and Tuesday-Wed. Besides time with my child’s and class, I am free to care for your pet! I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
