About: I treat every pet like family not just a job. Whether it’s a walk around the block or an overnight stay, I focus on building real trust with your pet. I take time to learn their quirks, routines, and favorite things so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I send regular photo updates, give extra snuggles, and always go the extra mile because your pet deserves more than just basic care, they deserve comfort, attention, and joy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my day around their needs whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or overnight care. I make sure each pet gets quality time, attention, and care without rushing. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead to make sure I’m available and fully present for every pet I’m responsible for. Their well being is always a priority in my schedule When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and both my dog and cat are friendly and used to being around other animals. I keep a calm, clean environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and always provide plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. I supervise playtime and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a child and raised two dogs from small puppies until they died at the ripe age of 14 years. I have 14 years of experience taking care of dogs. During the weekdays I work as a teacher at the local high school, so I am unavailable during the day until about 4:30 PM. In the evenings I can walk your dog, go to your home to check up on your dog, and over the weekends I can dig sit for you if it's needed. I live in a building that does not allow pets, so you can't leave your pet at my house to be watched unfortunately. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work as a high school teacher during weekdays but am available in the evenings and weekends. Normally I'm out of school by about 4:30pm. Please ask me about taking care of your dog during holidays. I'm often free to care or your pet full time then. I'm very attentive to how dogs communicate, and do not let them out of my sight when walking or dog siting them. I follow owner instructions such as what time a dog needs his medications exactly.

About: Currently a licensed veterinary technician. Can administer meds, which will help owners of older dogs feel more at ease, and notice signs of illness/distress easily. I own three friendly corgis. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them out in the yard. Always available to house sit and keep pets at my house, It is very rare for me to say no. We have our lower yard fenced for dogs to run and play. I'm into cuddling with dogs on my couch, but if you don't allow your dogs on your furniture, I won't allow them on mine either. I am also comfortable and experienced in watching a variety of animals. I have watched horses, cows, sheep, goats, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, hamsters, and hedgehogs. I can host most caged exotics in my home and a different rate that can be discussed at booking. I do prefer payment via cash, check, or venmo. Have a great day! I work full time at a veterinary clinic but my home is very close to it. I come home on lunch everyday to let out my animals. I’m usually up quite early on days off so they’ll have maximum snuggle time I do my best to care for pets in their homes just like their people would, so they will be less stressed with their people gone

About: I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals. I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well.

I just go to the gym in the mornings and I’m basically free from Friday night through Sunday. I have a mini yard that is fenced and the neighborhood is safe to walk pets. I have single-attached apartment so no need to worry about neighbors.

About: I’ve been a proud Shih /doodle mom for 9 years, ever since I was 18. I’ve grown with them, learned their needs through every stage, from playful puppies to calm seniors,and truly understand how much love and attention dogs need to feel safe and happy. Because of that, I treat every dog like one of my own. I’m patient, gentle, and always tuned in to their moods, whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or quiet time. I also know how to care for senior dogs and can handle routines with medications, slower walks, and special diets. Your pup will be in loving, experienced hands with me! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I currently have open availability. Im home throughout the day, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Whether it’s daily walks, drop ins, or boarding, I’m flexible and can easily work around your pet’s needs and schedule. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and stick to the pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I provide lots of affection, keep them company, and communicate regularly with updates and pictures so you feel at ease while you’re away.
