About: My parents close friends/family members and even some of my best friends have trusted me to watch overnight their pets such as dogs and cats,etc and along with boarding them at our house as the owners were out of town. I have lots of personal experience with my own pets, along with experience with dog watching and walking dogs outside my family dog. I grew up living with dogs and have always had a passion for animals and would love to be able to take care of peoples furry friends. I have a part time job currently so weekdays would be best since some shifts I get off in the afternoon so most evenings I’m free so if I know in advanced when people need me that would be great to work around my schedule. Some mornings I am also free. We have a big back yard but it does not have a fully fenced in yard due to our garage but it is safe and we have a leash to attach dogs too so they can be safe while also roaming in the yard. We also have a dog bed too. Not many toys because our dog is getting older but we can provide treats if needed and make sure they have everything they need. They will also have a furry companion which is our dog Bella. Whenever I watch a dog at someone else’s home I make sure to check and see what instructions they leave for me, make sure they are fed and let outside, and also make sure they are played with.
“I am truly blessed to have Kaylee taking care of Abbott. He has anxiety and he just loves her and when she comes to walk him. She’s amazing!!”
About: Hello! I’m Ashley, I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse in emergency medicine and general practice with over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I care for both dogs and cats. Proficient in administrating medications if your pet needs them. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I work 3 nights a week at the ER, 4 days off. For house sitting, I can move things around for longer visits but otherwise use my 4 off days for house sitting. If you are comfortable with your kiddos being home at night to sleep during times I work, that is an option. For smaller pets I can always make it so they can hangout with me at work! Otherwise I am very flexible since I make my own schedule. I offer pet sitting over nights, drop ins, and walks. I cannot board at my home since I have my own pets, but will do whatever I can to make sure your family pets are safe and happy while in my care!
“Anthony did an absolutely amazing job with Sky. We had him come over for a meet and greet and could immediately tell he would be great with our goofy and energetic dog.

“Jazalyn walks our 3 dogs on a weekly basis. We have a very old dog with some mobility issues that needs medication and a puppy so it is complicated, a lot of work and we really have to feel confident and be able to trust someone. Jazalyn does a wonderful job and we feel very lucky to have found her.”

“Tracy is really such a delight . She is dependable trustworthy and accommodating and will love on your pup ! I have used her weekly for a couple years and have nothing but good things to say .”
About: I grew up LOVING dogs. I had probably over 20 stuffed dogs and would bring one with me everywhere I went. My family also had a cat named Filip, who I cared for on a daily basis. I routinely dog sat for neighbors and family as well. About 4 years ago, my husband and I adopted our first dog named Archer. He is 100 pounds of energy and love! I have learned a lot about puppy training techniques and how to encourage good behaviors. I am very organized and detailed oriented, so I approach pet care meticulously to ensure their well-being. My strong communication skills and ability to decipher animal body language allows me to build trust with the animals, so that they feel comfortable and receive the love and care that they deserve! I’m currently working from home most days during the work week, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My husband and I are typically around for the weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who would love someone to play with. I love taking dogs for walks and will follow instructions as given. I also have a large crate at home if preferred/needed.
About: Dogs and puppies have always been a passion of mine! Growing up, I've been raised with two German Shepherds, and I've taken on responsibilities such as training my dog as a puppy, providing medical aid, walking dogs, and everything else that goes into being responsible for your furry best friend! I'm currently not working, and so my schedule is rather flexible! I have availability for dog-sitting and walking starting from 9am to 9pm throughout the week, all day every day! I currently don't have any pets in my home, and so I will be able to give your pet my full attention. I don't have a fenced yard, however there is a lovely walking trail nearby (5 min walk) that's about 2 miles long that I'd be able to walk your pet on! I have experience with reactive dogs when it comes to strangers and other dogs, and so I know how to maneuver myself out of a reactive situation. I can also easily crate your dog, if needed!
“Jenn was an amazing dog sitter! Our pup absolutely loved her! She sent plenty of updates during her visit and even stayed a little longer with our pup. We were nervous to leave our little guy by himself, but Jenn made us feel 100% comfortable he was in great hands!”
About: I have 5 animals at home. 2 Dogs, 2 Cats and a bird. I absolutely love animals and look forward to taking care of yours! I’m a college student athlete fitting this in between practice and school. I love using my free time to hang out with lots of lovely animals. I take care of my two cats by feeding them, taking care of their litter and playing with them daily. My dogs are on an invisible fence and are very active. They are taken care of in the same way.
“Heather did a great job walking my dog Daniella. in the rain my dog doesn’t like to go for a walk so Heather took extra time to help get her in the mood for a walk. She did s great job!”
About: With a lifetime of pet care experience, having grown up with my own beloved cat and dog, I bring an innate understanding and deep love for animals. My positive energy makes pets feel good and safe with me. Regularly trusted by my parents to watch their dog, who adores our fun times together, I am dedicated to being the best caretaker for your furry friends. I currently have a very open schedule so I can watch your pets at anytime. I just need about a days notice and they will be taken care of. My cats get fed at every time every day. I also make sure they are clean and that they are brushed and given lots of cuddles.
About: I have provided pet care for friends and family for several years and have been helping care for my boyfriend's senior Great Dane for the past 2 years. I have unfortunately never had a pet of my own because of allergies in the family, but I am dedicated to providing love and care for other's pets. I am currently attending college and really enjoy spending my time with animals outside of school! My availability is varied because of my current schedule and my long commute, so I can typically accommodate flexible drop-ins and weekend housesitting. Ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved and providing owners peace of mind that their pets are in excellent care is my top priority. I respond quickly to messages and will provide as many updates and pictures of your pet as requested while they are in my care!
