About: I have been around animals for my whole life, taking care and experiencing with 4 litters of puppies and watching them grow. I have pet sit for the past 5 years and still do! I am open to pet sit any animal of any size and can do it at your house or mine! I am great with medication scheduling and certain or special feeding schedules. As of right now, I am available Monday through Sunday at any times! I will be having a part time job soon but will still be available for part time work! I always create a little plan before I sit any client's animal. I like to know how the animal is personality wise and if I need to be aware of any medications or certain needs. I also make my own plan with clients consent as in walks around the neighborhood and make sure I interact with the animal with play time and loving.

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 17 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

About: I've been a dog owner for the past 8 years, so caring for animals is just part of my everyday life. I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds and sizes, whether your companion is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I'll give them the attention and affection they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I'm able to provide regular feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure your pet stays comfortable and never feels alone for long. I keep a clean, secure environment and always stay attentive to each pet's comfort and safety. I follow whatever routine and instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to favorite spots, so your pet feels at home. I'm careful to keep doors and gates secured, watch for any signs of stress, and give plenty of affection so your pet feels relaxed and cared for!

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: Little or middle no dog is too big for me to handle! Currently I walk four mini poodles, a golden retriever, and a Great Pyrenees. I have been a dog walker/pet sitter for a little over two years now and I love what I do! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, lizards, you name it, I’ve probably had it so it’s only right that I chose a job I already knew I’d love and be the perfect fit for in my heart. Monday-Friday I leave my house around 10:15am to go walk my first group of dogs, then I usually leave there around 11am to go to my second group of dogs. I am available to work around those times if needed. I am available to walk pups Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm. I also do drop ins, overnights in your home, and other services (: I am unable to do visits in my own home due to having 5 dogs and 8 cats. The services I offer in your home would include refreshing food/water if needed, play with pup(s) , grab mail, take out trash, let out/walk pup, brush pup if wanted, bathe pup if wanted, cuddles (of course), and treats if offered/allowed. Disclaimer!! I do not know how to cut dog hair!! Only my own!!

“Great communication, our dog really enjoyed her time with Aubrianna. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”

About: I am a compassionate babysitter! I love all animals and treat my pets like my children. I take my dog everywhere with me. From Starbucks for pup cups to Lowe’s to shop. She’s my shadow and I will treat your pet with the same kind of companionship. I am open to all request. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can figure out the schedule! Happy to be flexible with times and needs. I provide a safe environment at home. I have two pets of my own, a very calm golden retriever and a black cat that thinks she’s a dog. They usually sleep throughout the day. I work from home so your pet can hang out with me while I work. For drop in visits I would come solo without my dog (unless requested for play).
