About: I have been privileged to take care of multiple species throughout my life! I am able to take excellent care and to be a friend! My current availability is wide open. I am looking for a part-time job as well, but would like to keep pet care as a top priority. I currently do not have a proper fenced in area and would prefer not to have larger breeds until then. I am able to house smaller breeds as long as they are comfortable with two younger dogs. I am fully comfortable with at home visits/house sitting.
About: I’ve been caretaking for all types of animals for over 15 years. From training puppies to pampering seniors & everything between, I’ve been the go-to for neighbors, friends & family when it comes to their pet care needs. As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks!

I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs. I have a large yard & many spare 15-20ft leashes to keep your pet safe while providing quality playtime. I also have a dog to help keep your fur baby company while in my care!

About: I treat every pet like they're my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient and attentive with puppies who are still learning routines, and I'm equally comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra care and attention. I believe in clear communication, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, daycare, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine as much as possible. This helps them feel comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and energy level so they receive the care and attention that's right for them. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, and make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of affection. If your pet requires medication or extra care, I'm happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure their needs are met.
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all my life. I am very much a dog person and love them like my own family. My favorite part is playing with them so that they sleep super soundly at night. I know how to teach your dog some tricks and show them a lot of love. I am extremely patient and have taught several dogs to be housebroken and how to sit, shake, and lay down. I have been dog sitting for others for a little over 6 years now. I am very confident in my abilities with dogs and how to handle them. I have been around them my whole life and know how important they are to everyone’s lives if cared for properly. I do currently work full time and am currently studying to take my Boards to become a licensed physical therapist. I am able to do mid day potty breaks if close enough to my work. Otherwise, I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the morning and evenings. I care for each dog/pet as if they were my own. I will love them, care for them, and tend to their needs as if they are my own family. I want to make every dog feel extremely loved through all the petting and playing that they can imagine and want.
About: I have practically always had animals be apart of my life. I grew up with a stray cat who would become my own cat at a young age. And I would often take care of my grandmothers dog named Socks in both their old age. I once rescued a baby bird and even a baby deer more recently. I’ve looked after pets of family and friends and friends of family and friends. I currently own a cat named Chance, and my job for about 3 years is a dog daycare and board which also provides grooming services such as baths, nail trims, etc. I hold a huge spot in my heart for animals and I foresee myself always doing something with them. I work part time, so I typically have a lot of free time to explore other ventures. And with me also having the full weekend to myself, it would be great to spend that time taking care of pets. At the moment, I live with my parents and pet sitting there couldn’t happen given my mom is afraid of dogs, but if I were pet sitting in a clients home, I would be more than respectful and appreciative of the trust.
