About: Life long animal lover, I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fresh water aquariums and hamsters. It delights me to give other pet owners peace of mind while they are away from their furry, feathery or even scaley family members by providing care, companionship and security. I offer customized pricing, message me to select a service level that best suits your needs. Pet care is my main schedule priority, I also work as a wellness counselor part time but generally have a lot flexibility in my schedule as I mainly operate remotely for that and I am happy to work with you and your furbabies schedule needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. It's important to me to ensure animals stick to their routines to ensure the least amount of stress while owners are away so the more detailed care instructions provided the better, I'm not afraid to adust my personal schedule to best fit the needs of any pet!

About: Hi! My name is Dayne, and I’m a 22 year old college football player with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, and spending time with them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have a German Shepherd and a Beagle, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I actually trained my German Shepherd myself from the time he was a puppy, and seeing him grow into such a well behaved, obedient dog has been incredibly rewarding. That experience taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding how every dog learns a little differently. Being a college athlete has also taught me the importance of being dependable, responsible, and sticking to a routine. Those are qualities I bring with me whenever I’m taking care of someone else’s pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re getting the attention and care they deserve. I also have experience with more than just dogs. I grew up with an Umbrella Cockatoo that’s still part of my family’s life today, so I’m familiar with caring for birds. I also own a Bearded Dragon, which has given me experience caring for reptiles as well. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re family. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and always follow your care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a college football player, so all of my athletic commitments are done in the mornings. I also take all of my classes online, which gives me the rest of the day to fully focus on the dogs in my care. My schedule is very structured, and I’m home the majority of the day outside of morning workouts. My own dogs are properly exercised every single day. We go to the dog park, on long walks, and even hikes when the weather is nice. I make sure they are well run and mentally stimulated so they’re balanced and happy. They are fed twice a day with high quality dog food, and I stay consistent with their health needs. My German Shepherd gets joint supplements, and both my Shepherd and Beagle get salmon oil daily. I take their care seriously, and I would treat your dog the exact same way. Being an athlete, I’m already used to routine, discipline, and responsibility. That carries over into how I care for animals. Your dog won’t just be “watched” they’ll be exercised, cared for, and paid attention to. I live in a 1600 square foot home with plenty of space for dogs to move around comfortably. I have a large dog crate available if your dog is crate trained or needs their own quiet space. I also have two friendly, well socialized dogs who love to play and will keep your dog company. Safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, and I understand proper leash control, structure, and supervision. I keep a clean, organized home and always make sure dogs are monitored, comfortable, and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life for extended periods of time. I provide them plenty of loving attention and do all the related chores necessary when caring for them. I am a stay-at-home parent of three cats. However, I am able to leave whenever needed to provide care to other animals, as the other owner of our cats will often be home to continue their care. I care for pets by making sure they eat their tasty meals and treats, keeping them company with playtime and plenty of pets, cleaning up after them on a daily basis, providing them exercise, and anything necessary.

“Frank is great! Very reliable and my pets love him.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m attentive, gentle, and genuinely love building trust with every pet. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt, whether your dog needs high-energy play, slow walks, or just comforting company. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to be available when it works best for you and your pet. I enjoy making time for animals. It’s something I genuinely look forward to. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, relaxed environment with plenty of playtime in my fenced yard and companionship from my own friendly, playful dog. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, feeding, walking, and downtime so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I make sure to keep things clean, calm, and consistent. I always respect your space and care for your pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, exercise, and lots of love.

About: I provide a one on one Level of care and attention for your pet. Spending quality time with the pets is very important to me I currently work part time but have a flexible schedule. I am avaliable for Boarding at my home as well as drop in visits daily. I have a Freindly and playful Golden Retiever I like to give my full attention on your pet to make the stay/visit a enjoyable experience.

“Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.”

About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I have been raising my own for the past 7 years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am a student and working part-time this summer, so I will have a lot of availability and can be available on short notice if needed. I have a calm energy and can read your pets body language very well. Perfect for if your furry friend is more on the anxious side! I will bring patience and understanding to any type of personality.

About: I have always had a dog or some type of pet! They very much are like family. I currently have 3 cats on of which who has adhd and has to take meds every day. I do have the ability to run around in dogs to get their energy out! I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can move anything around, especially if it’s a walk for the morning! If it’s afternoon, if I know within a decent timeframe, I can always make other arrangements to be able to walk your four-legged family member! At this time I am not offering in home pet sitting. I will however ensure that all safety measures that the pet family has in place are applied. For walks I always make sure to stop walking if no side walk is available when a car passes.

“Ashley does a wonderful job communicating! I feel so reassured that our dog is in the best hands when we are gone. She responds quickly and is so kind. 😊”

About: I’ve been trusted with caring for cats and dogs since I was old enough to take on the responsibility! I have three animals of my own whom I love and adore and will take care of yours like my own! I’ve trained two puppies, and taken care of my own senior dog 🪽 I’m currently working early morning shifts, so I’ll have whole days to watch after your loved one!! I walk my dogs and can easily fit yours into my daily routine I have crate space and a lovely home for your dog/cat to stay. I have two friendly dogs to keep yours company, and a kitty in a separate floor to keep yours company as well!!

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals in some form or another! I’ve been the family + friends pet sitter for as long as I can remember, everything from dogs to cats to ferrets to snakes; it is always such a joy. I know how important your pet is to you, and I would be honored to be given the opportunity to take care of them and show them the love they deserve! Keeping your pet happy and in good care is my goal, always. From walks, to playtime, to just keeping them company, to anything else (i know each dog’s personality is unique and that they each have different needs, and I will treat them as such), I will always be happy and willing to do what I can. I am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule, so depending on what your needs are, I am happy to do whatever I can to make that work! Keeping your pet safe is my top priority. I know that what that means specifically will always depend on each person and their fur baby. However you want your little friend taken care of, that is what I’ll do.

About: Ive always been drawn to animals, they’re better than humans lol. As a tot, I’d make it my mission to befriend as many kitties and pups as possible, this led to long-term house sits for my friends + family, and building a bond with said animal. I’ve been caring for pups my entire life as I grew up with them. I’d be honored to pet sit your fur babies! As of right now; I attend trade school in the mornings and work part-time nights. Given that I work only three hours per night and classes end before 1pm. That gives me plenty of time to stay for a couple hours or even check in multiple times throughout the day! I like to do everything on a schedule; Feed, nice stroll/restroom break, play for at least 30 minutes then, hopefully tucker out the pup and repeat! It’s imperative that you’re attentive to your animal as they have needs too and cannot speak. They also don’t have entertainment like we do that’s when I make sure to keep busy with them. I also like to send pictures as little updates so you can keep an eye on your fur baby. (if you’d like of course)

About: I currently have a flexible schedule and looking to help relieve some pent up pupper energy or drop in for a hangout during those long days. Do you have a pup that needs a walk or a fall hike? Are you traveling this Holiday season? I have some Holiday availability for boarding. I am currently between jobs and wanting to explore areas where my passions lie. My greatest joy are my pets and I’d love to help spoil yours. I am highly flexible during the weekdays. I have a fully fenced in yard as well as everything your pet may need. I have a variety of crate sizes, dog beds, bowls, leashes, and litter boxes. I have many baby gates allowing the ability to separate animals if needed. I personally allow my dog to free roam and sleep in bed but able to accommodate all guests.

About: Hi! I’m Mazi. After working in dog boarding facilities, I realized that while the dogs were well cared for, many of them were missing the one-on-one attention, exercise, and companionship they truly deserved. That inspired me to focus on pet sitting so I can give every pet the individualized care they need to feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have hands-on experience working in dog boarding facilities, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, monitored their health and behavior, administered medications, and made sure they were comfortable and safe. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs. My background has also given me the skill to match each dog’s breed and temperament with the right way to help them safely and effectively get their energy out I’m currently in college pursuing my undergraduate degree with plans to attend veterinary school, so animal health and welfare are something I’m incredibly passionate about. I also volunteer with animal shelters, participate in dog day outings, and love advocating for rescue animals whenever I can. When you book with me, your pet won’t just be another appointment on my schedule, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, updates, and personalized care so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I am lucky enough to have a completely open schedule. That being said I make my plans around the commitments I made towards pet parents to make sure that each pet gets the care they need on time every time. All of my energy goes into keeping your pet safe. I treat them as if they are my own baby. All of my attention and focus is on your pet.

About: I'm the guy everyone asks to pet sit because I never say no! I'm reliable, attentive, and patient and never met an animal I didn't like. I'm a freelance artist which gives me loads of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. Short notice is fine. Life throws curve balls sometimes, and I'm here to help. I abide by the golden rule, and treat all animals as if they were my own family. I pay attention to details and follow all specific instructions for our special friends!

“I have used Caitlin several times to walk my 60lb dog while I'm away. She is very responsible and responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates. One time my dog became ill and she reached out immediately and helped get her to the vet ER and stayed with her until I was able to arrive. Would definitely recommend her.”
