Kaitlyn was AMAZING. She answered any questions I had, sent updates, and was so so kind in regards to my anxiety leaving my dogs. Don’t think twice, book with her. 10/10.

This was a first for me using this resource and Mandy was absolutely amazing to work with! She texted pictures and gave me little updates throughout her time with our dog. On top of hanging out with our dog she also helped feed our guinea pig and our lizard. I will definitely be using her again in the future and encourage anyone else to too. For an added bonus, she even brought in our amazing delivery boxes so they didn’t sit outside! Again, she was really great and I would recommend her to everyone.

Breanna took wonderful care of my dog Nola. Nola is currently on medication, and I appreciated that Breanna was both experienced and comfortable with giving her her medicine. She sent updates and photos while she was here. You can tell she has a great love for dogs! I will definitely have her watch Nola again!

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself. I had a special needs basset hound and loved giving him the extra help he needed during his life. I also have experience with puppies, big dogs, blind dogs, and shy/breeder release! I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.

About: I had a dog of my own for 10 years before moving away for college, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet. I've cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I know how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy during walks and visits. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I will treat your dog like family, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away. I am patient with shy or anxious pets and always let them approach me at their own pace so they feel safe and comfortable. While I am currently searching for a full-time job, I wanted to spend my time doing something meaningful that I genuinely enjoy. Caring for pets is a perfect fit because I've always had a love for animals, especially dogs. Being able to help pet owners while spending time with wonderful pets truly feels like a win-win situation. In a client's home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to follow the owner's instructions closely. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and shy or anxious pets. I always let pets approach me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and build trust. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care as instructed by their owner. I also believe communication is important, so I will send regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and as comfortable as possible until you return home.

We highly recommend Sydney! She stayed with our two dogs for three nights and was great at communicating with us when needed. She also provided pics and updates. Our flight home was a late night flight and we knew the dogs would be okay for the amount of time we planned for them to be alone, but she went above and beyond and stopped back to let them out an extra time. The dogs seemed content when we got home and I think they would give her two paws up 🐾 Thank you Sydney!

About: I have taken care of a multitude of pets throughout my life, especially dogs of various sizes and breeds. Pets aren't just pets, they're family and I really truly resemble that through my care. I know how to care for your pets to keep them happy and healthy. I am a current college student-athlete with only a couple classes (maximum) a day, and volleyball practice every night. This schedule leaves me with lots of time in between to schedule a visit with your lovely pet! I am easily able to frequently care for your furry friend as much as desired, and have lots of time to give them walks and belly rubs. I treat all animals that feel comfortable with lots of love and pets, and care for them like they're my own. I do not pull on the leash while walking, never punish with physical force, and treat all pets like family. I also respect everyone's homes and places of living, and will leave it just the same or better than when I came.

About: While I grew up with many cats, I also had the opportunity to have the most lovable, goofy, and needy yellow lab for a few years. While he lived in my house, I helped feed him, take him outside/on walks, and give him his medicine too. I've gotten used to dealing with particular pets, including tricking them into taking medicine they might not want to, and getting them bundled up to go outside in the winter. I'm currently a long-term substitute teacher, so my mornings and afternoons are busy, but I'm free in the evenings and on the weekends. During the summer, I have some days/weeks where I'll be out of town, but generally am free throughout the day. I always try to go slow when meeting someone's pet for the first time, allowing them to take the time they need to feel comfortable around me. I always make sure to sit down and make myself smaller so I don't scare them, and I give them plenty of time to sniff me and my things since I do have a cat at home they would smell on me.

About: Hi! I’m Aleah, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I grew up in a home with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, which has given me even more experience with daily care, exercise, training reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide personalized care to keep them comfortable, safe, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Because I currently have open availability, I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need more frequent attention throughout the day. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I have the time and dedication to focus on providing reliable, attentive care for every animal I watch. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, providing regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. I make sure pets get the exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship they need while maintaining a clean and secure environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.

Hannah was very attentive to our dog, she came a lot during the day and stayed for a hour or longer at least once a day! She took our dog on walks and played and cuddled with her. She also sent updates and pictures and was quick to answer any of my questions about our dog. We will definitely be having Hannah watch our dog again! We were never worried once with Hannah here!

About: I’m a friendly chap and I’ve lived with both cats and dogs in the past. I have years of experience taking care of dogs for friends and roommates, ranging in size from chihuahua to pit bull. I also have a pet turtle, whom I’ve lived with for 20+ years. I am a graduate student at MNSU, but aside from 3 in-person classes during fall and spring semesters my schedule is flexible. I have a car, so I can travel to you. I can adapt to however you take care of your fur baby. I like to go on hikes and play catch with dogs. I’m also down for quiet time with a cat. Whatever works. I unfortunately am unable to board pets at this time.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

Onnika did a great job with our 3yr old great dane. Despite his size and timmidness she was able to win him over and make sure all of his needs and wants were met (cuddles attention and medications) while giving us updates throughout the weekend. He had a blast playing and going on a walk. She even picked up his mess in the front yard which we really appreciated when we came home. 10/10 well be requesting again!
