About: Hi there! I'm Jennifer, a passionate animal lover dedicated to providing the best care for your furry family members. With 30 years of experience in caring for my own pets as well as pet sitting and dog walking, I understand the importance of keeping your pets happy, healthy, and safe. I'm committed to creating a comfortable environment for your pets, whether it’s a fun walk in the park or some quality cuddle time at home. I take pride in my reliability and communication, ensuring you receive regular updates while you're away. Let’s connect and give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I also have experience caring for a variety of exotic animals as well please feel free to contact me with any requests! While I don't currently have any cats or dogs of my own I currently have 14 ferrets that are spoiled beyond all means. I have worked closely with rescues and taken in many rehomes due to the specialized care that they require. I currently make my own schedule since I perform work on an independent contractor and consultant basis so I have the availability to make almost any schedule work. I can usually accommodate requests with as little as 1 or 2 days notice due to the flexibility of my commitments. I look forward to spending time with your pets and treating them as if they are my own. I am happy to spend as much time with them as they require and look forward to minimizing the stress that unnecessary schedule changes can cause in their day to day routine.

About: I’ve taken care of mine as well as my friends and families since I was 12. My entire life my best friends always had 4 paws. I was even going to study about them but instead I enlisted for the Army National Guard. I know all the techniques about bathing, clipping nails, dressing them and training them, all just from personal experiences. Every dog I ever had was different when it came to training them, so I had to learn new ways. No matter the breed, size, personality, or color of your dog I will love them and care for them as I do mine! That I can promise! Honestly perfectly! I always wanted to make money doing my favorite thing, which is spending my time with animals. Plus my daily routine is normally just me going on runs, walks, being home doing school, or hanging out outside. Which all of that I can with the pets. Except school work obviously, but it’ll just be a little chill/nap break. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but there is a dog park down the street from that I take my dog to and yours as well. Which my puppy, Mj would absolutely love having a friend to play with no matter the size. Her two Best friends were a beagle and a Chihuahua, however they moved and can’t play with her anymore. I’m able to get them travel bowls, extra leashes, doggy bags etc to cary with me for safety incase anything is needed and/or anything were to happen. I would be open to sending pictures updating the parents throughout the day also. I don’t like to cage mine as well as others but if necessary I do have a cage if needed.

About: I have had pets all of my life. I love animals. I currently have one dog and two cats but can show your furbaby all of the love and care that you would when you're away. I've had to have sitters for my pets when I've been out of town, and finding good reliable care is challenging and expensive. I can provide updates throughout your vacation in order to keep your mind at ease. I am available for drop-in dog sitting in your home as well as overnight boarding in mine. A meet and greet is required to make sure the dogs get along. Please provide all detailed information about your pet prior to making arrangements such as medications, likes and dislikes and personality to make their stay much more enjoyable. I have experience with disabled/blind animals as well, thanks! I also love cats and am available to check in on your beloved feline! I work from home so I am in my home 95% of the time to give your pet love and attention and take them for walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I don’t let them out without a leash and I don’t leave them in the yard alone, ever.

About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals all my life. I'm a fur mom to a retired greyhound and several indoor cats (I like to call the feline ninjas). I have personally cared for pets of all ages and abilities. My schedule is very flexible and I can adjust based on what is best for you and your fur baby's needs. For example: potty breaks, walks, mealtimes. I have hired pet sitters for my own home and have a clear idea what I expect and like for my fur babies. Your pets would receive the same care and love as if they were my own. Your pets would receive my full attention for the entire time I was booked for. Their well-being is my #1 priority.


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, from pint-sized Corgis to giant, gentle Great Pyrenees. I have experience with all kinds of temperaments and sizes, and I’m confident in administering oral medications and reinforcing basic house training. I also have two cats of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate looking after your furry family members. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or just some comforting company, I’m here to help make your life a little easier, and give your pets the love and care they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I work a full time job so currently I am available on my days off each week and also before and after work! I will try to make your schedule work with mine as best as I can and what’s best for you fur-family I am looking forward to meeting you pets! I am able to offer dog walking, potty break drop ins, food and oral medication drop in, as well as full day doggy daycare. Your dogs will get plenty of play and mental stimulation to tire them out for the day but also make them feel loved and cherished! Each animal is different and requires a different approach and I think it’s all about making them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and many other kinds of animals ever since I was about 8 years old. I grew up with many animals in my household and I couldn't imagine it any other way as animals are such a big part of my life. I love going on walks and being outside, just like most dogs do too! Also, I have taken care of dogs of all ages including puppies and senior pets. I currently do not have a job so I am free for booking any day! I also do not have any preferences for time as I am willing to make whatever times work for you! There's many things I do to take care of a pet. I would make sure the pet is fed (and a treat here and there of course). I would also spend time giving the pet tons of attention. This can include playing with toys, walking them, or even just petting and sitting with them. I'd also make sure the pet is taken outside as often as the owner would like.

About: I absolutely love going on super long walks with pets. Spending time outdoors with them is the best! Also, I really really adore cats a lot! I have a super flexible summer schedule and would love to fill my time caring for some cute, friendly little ones, and big ones! Excited to help out! I take my dogs on daily walks, bathe them as needed, and clean after them when little accidents happen. I love love love to hang out with them!


About: Hello! I go by Nic and you should choose me because I have pets my whole life and absolutely love and adore them. I do NOT believe in spanking or aggressive punishment. I feel a good, firm, loud No or noise will be sufficient enough. I would love to sit for your pet and give it the love and care I would my own. Spending time and taking care of them is fun for me. I have two dogs: My little one is named Bella. A few years ago I adopted a stray German Shepherd Lab Mix. His name is Reptar and his personality is just hysterical. I also took in a stray cat about 6 years ago. His name is Lucifer and he is a spitfire. All three are my pride and joy. They are the best things that have ever happened to me. I am available for dog sitting in your home or I can stop in and check on your babies. Whatever you would like I can do! I really don't feel comfortable walking a dog who is aggressive towards other animals when they are out and on a leash. Other than that, I am happy to provide pet service requests! I love caring for pets. My goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you're away. I have had pets my whole life and consider them an important part of the family. This service is no longer available for me to provide at this time. My apologies for this inconvenience. It is subject to change in the future.

About: I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s new best friend! Whether your pup loves belly rubs, long sniffy walks, or just a cozy lap to snooze on, I’ve got it covered. I’ve worked with playful puppies, mellow seniors, and everything in between. Need meds given or a nervous dog soothed? No problem—I’ve got a calm touch and lots of patience. I treat every pet like my own and always send fun updates, so you never miss a tail wag or silly moment! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available for morning visits before 8:30 AM, quick check-ins or walks during lunch, and flexible evening care after 4:30 PM. Whether your pet needs a morning cuddle, a midday break, or company after work hours, I can be there to give them the love and attention they deserve throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family! While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of leashed walks, playtime, and attention. I also have a sweet, gentle older pitbull mix who’s very calm and friendly with other dogs. I always do slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. In clients' homes, I follow your routines closely—whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your pet company—so your pet feels safe and loved while you're away.

“McKenna always communicates well and informs me of how Bear did on the walk! And based on the pictures she takes you can tell Bear looks happy to be with her!”

About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.

I’m able to come last minute so there’s no stress about wether or not your pup will be safe and cared for! If you’re trying out a new routine or sticking to the one you know works for your pup(s) I will follow any schedule from morning till night! I know how important it is for me to have things going to plan in order to be stress free and I want you to have the stress free time you deserve while I care for your animals your way!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started caring for them when I was old enough(mainly cats and dogs). Feeding, walking, bathing, and professional experience with dog boarding/daycare.

Fridays I’m available anytime after 1. Weekends I am available anytime. I am respectful of feeding/walking/playing schedules and I will provide what is asked of me.
