About: I’ve had several pets growing up so I’m familiar with taking care of animals. I’ve also cared for friends pets while they were away for work or vacation I’m currently in school and looking for part time work Friday through Sunday. My availability on the weekends are pretty open to care for pets I currently cannot provide service at my home but I can come to yours! I have a very nurturing and patient personality to be able to give your pet the best care
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for more than 35 years for neighbors, friends and family including special needs, vision impaired, in diapers, senior/older dogs, aggressive behaviors as well as big and small. I’ve cared for many breeds both in their homes as well as my home. I’m a professional musician and I work 1-3 nights/week so my schedule varies and is flexible when planned in advance. I can sit in your home or mine. I try to schedule around my part time work schedule. My retired husband is my dog sitting partner so we can accommodate most schedules. Our home has a fenced backyard and a friendly mixed pointer and pug to keep your dog company. The dogs can enjoy the backyard frequently through the day, the back door is often kept open. During the night the dogs and are kept indoors from 12am-7:30am. Dogs can see on their own dog beds or even our sofas. We are a dog family and we’ve housed many dogs through the years. When caring for your dogs in your home, I try to maintain your routines as much as possible. I give lots of affection, petting frequently, brushing once a day. If owner prefers, I allow pets to sit with me, on me. I prefer not to sleep with them. However, if that is what they are accustomed to I am willing. Please warn me if they are loud snorers (like my husband lol)

About: I have loved animals ever since I was a kid! From cats and dogs to even reptiles and birds, I love them all. I would be honored to care for your furry loved ones! I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule. I would be more than happy to accommodate the needs of you and your babies! In my client’s home, I am very detail oriented and respectful of any rules and guidelines. I take pet care very seriously, and I make sure to keep in touch.
About: I’m an animal lover and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I have an associate degree in veterinary technology to become an RVT and soon to be a Veterinarian when I’m older. I have a big passion for animals providing love and attentive care. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and I would love to give your furry babies the same care and attention I give to my own! <3. I’m currently working part time as a vet assistant at my job. Otherwise I am available most of the time. Although some days can change such as dropping my brother off to school in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As a veterinary assistant with an associate degree in Veterinary Technology, I understand the importance of making sure a pet feels loved and safe under my care. In fact, I like to put myself in their shoes and think before I do something. Such as if they ever feel scared when meeting me, I’ll let them smell me and get used to my scent before petting them. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to provide a loving, stress free environment and follow each pet’s individual needs and routines. I will carefully follow the owner’s instructions, provide updates, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
“Nick was absolutely wonderful with Maddie! He arrived right on time, kept me updated with a photo during their walk, and made sure Maddie had playtime once they returned home. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in caring and reliable hands. Maddie clearly enjoyed her time with him, and I truly appreciated the communication, professionalism, and attention he gave her. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker! Thanks again Nick!!”

“Eric is amazing with my dog Dexter. Dexter is very happy when I get home with a big smile and happy to tell me about his visit from his friend!!! I would recommend Eric to anyone!!! Amazing job!!!”

About: I’ve fostered and volunteered at many animal shelters over the years, and I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they travel. I’m very comfortable around all kinds of animals, and I know how important it is to feel like your pet is in good hands. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, that just means I can give your pet my full attention and care. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home with flexible hours. Being home throughout the day means I can provide attentive, hands-on care, whether that’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I can be flexible so just let me know when you’re available and I’ll try my very best to accommodate. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of my family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely at ease. I have a large, fully fenced backyard that offers plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. Pets are always supervised while outside to ensure their safety and comfort at all times. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and bedtime rituals, to help them feel at home. I offer plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they want them!), along with quiet spots for rest and alone time when needed. Whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer vacation, I make sure every pet in my care feels loved, secure, and well cared for every step of the way. 🐶 Dog Care (Boarding & Drop-Ins) When dogs stay with me, I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run and play safely, always under supervision. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, and bedtime habits to help them feel right at home. Whether your dog is energetic or more laid-back, I adjust care to match their needs. For dog drop-in visits, I can stop by your home to provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. 🐱 Cat Care (Boarding & Drop-Ins) I also have experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent. I understand that cats need a calm, patient approach, and I always let them come to me at their own pace. For drop-in visits, I make sure your cat stays comfortable in their own home while you’re away. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship. If boarding, my home provides a calm, low-stress environment that’s ideal for cats. Since I only accept one family at a time, your cat will never be around unfamiliar animals. I never force interaction and always respect each cat’s comfort level. I’m also comfortable caring for multi-cat households and can follow detailed routines, including basic medication if needed. IMPORTANT NOTE: - Please let me know about their temperament. The more details the better. - To give each pet the attention, comfort, and calm environment they deserve, I only board pets from one family at a time. This means your pets will never have to share their space with unfamiliar animals, reducing stress and allowing me to fully focus on their individual needs. Whether your pets are playful, shy, or needs special care, I’m able to tailor their stay and provide a safe, peaceful, and loving home by away from home just for them. - Up to date vaccinations including rabies shots are REQUIRED. ** Pickup & Drop-Off Policy Drop-offs and pickups are available during agreed-upon hours. For scheduling and safety reasons, late-night drop-offs or pickups after 12am will incur a $20 late night pick up fee. Pickups and drop-offs are not available after 2am. Thank you 🐾
“Tanner is very sweet. He was very patient with our dog on getting comfortable with him. He went above and beyond. Even the family feels comfortable with Tanner taking care of our fur baby! He is the best and we will definitely keep working with him.”

“Kimmy was amazing, very communicative and seemed like our dog really liked her. She was patient when meeting our dog for the first time, allowed her to get comfortable and we felt very comfortable and confident our dog was in great hands. Would happily continue to book with Kimmy in the future!”


“Chris is very attentive to the details of our Oliver. She got him excited to play Tug and take a good walk. Oliver is a 8 year old boy who will welcome Chris for all of his needs.. Highly recommend Chris!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 14 years old. My husky was a very reactive and energetic so I am well trained on dogs that pull or lunge. I also have a passion in running. If your dog loves to go on runs then we’re a perfect match! I am currently freelancing some projects. I have lots of free time throughout the week. I would love to spend my free time going on walks or doing drop ins. As an active person, I’m happy to provide jogging or running sessions for high energy dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation. I can also walk and hike long distance. Whatever your dog’s fitness level, I will match it.
“Emily was a great doggie walker for my little fluff ball, Mimi! Mimi took to her right away and was always excited to see her...Emily was able to manage some of Mimi's reluctance to walk and was able to coax her in order to get business done! Emily was reliable, responded to messages quickly, and sent pictures/report daily...I highly recommend Emily, you will not be disappointed.”

“Sona is wonderful. I have two pitties with two very different personalities. Zoey is usually very timid when she meets somebody and reluctant to go up to them. With Sona, she was immediately comfortable and went right up to her, and was excited to leave on the walk with her. My other dog, Neo, is is 85 pounds of pure unbridled pitbull energy. She did an amazing job of keeping him settled and calming him down when he tried jumping all over her even though he was as tall as her. She's very calm and professional and has a great way with animals I will definitely be calling on her again and she is highly recommended.”

“Justin was awesome and a perfect first impression for using Rover for my first time. Always on time and sent lots of updates and pictures and was so thoughtful and caring for my big Australian Shepherd!! He even gave him extra exercise by jogging with him from time to time! Marley is a bit reactive and doesn’t always like strangers but he loved Justin right away, he must have sensed his dog loving good vibes. 100% recommend him to anyone, especially those with bigger dogs worried about finding someone that can control their dog. 10 stars / 5 thanks a million Justin!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Lorena! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic pet sitter who believes your pets deserve the same love, attention, and patience they get from their own family. 🧬 A little about me: I have a B.S. in Biology with a focus in Microbiology, and my background in healthcare and caregiving has taught me to be observant, patient, and attentive to the little details that matter. 🐾 I have experience caring for pets at many different stages of life. I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for two large-breed Staffordshire Pit Bulls throughout their senior years, so I understand the patience, gentle care, and attention that older dogs may need. I’m comfortable with bigger, strong dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine. 🍼 I’ve fostered premature kittens on three separate occasions from North Central Animal Shelter, caring for them from their fragile baby stage through adoption age. I’ve cared for post-op adult cats and have experience administering oral medications as well. These experiences have taught me how important it is to remain calm, patient, observant, and consistent when a pet needs extra care. 🐦 And yes, I love our feathered friends too! I have firsthand experience caring for parrots, including lovebirds and budgerigars (budgies). I’ve also had experience caring for a North American house finch, giving me an appreciation for how different bird species have their own unique needs, personalities, and routines. I understand that birds require a clean environment, fresh food and water, gentle handling, and plenty of attention to their behavior and surroundings. 🧼 🫧Because of my microbiology background, I’m especially mindful about cleanliness, sanitation, and maintaining a safe environment. My healthcare and caregiving experience has also taught me to follow instructions carefully, recognize when something seems out of the ordinary, and communicate with owners so they can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible and pet care fits naturally into my week! I’m available after 5 PM Monday through Friday and I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday. I’m happy to dedicate my evenings and weekends to giving your pet the attention they deserve, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication, or simply keeping them company. I’m also comfortable following specific routines and care instructions so your pet can stay as close to their normal schedule as possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention rather than rushing through visits. You can also expect regular communication and adorable photo updates while your pet is in my care! 📸🐶🐱🐦 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to keep their environment clean, secure, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, food, medications, personal belongings, and anything else that could pose a safety risk to a curious pet. I always make sure pets are secure before leaving and that their environment is clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands

“Michelle was amazing with our Shelley, who isn’t usually eager to walk with someone who isn’t me or my husband. He began to look expectantly for her, tail wagging when he saw that she was near. Michelle and Jennifer are the best - completely reliable, loving toward your pet, and skilled in managing a dog in a caring way. They are more than we hoped for!!”

“I have two big fun dogs that require attention on two different energy levels and the right person to keep them happy. Bobby was great, he got along with both dogs immediately and had no issues dealing with both energy levels. They always looked forward to his visits. I found Bobby to be reliable and flexible depending on my schedule. He communicates well. I won"t hesitate to call him again. Thanks Bobby!”


About: I didn’t realize how much I love dogs until my best friend adopted a Pit Collie puppy in Texas. Ever since then, I’ve paid more attention to dogs on my runs, watched so many dog training videos, and frequently visit the animal shelter to give the dogs and cats there some TLC. I’d get a dog or cat of my own, but I’m still testing the waters to see what breed is best fit for me. I’d love to help you take care of your lovely dog. No dog is too rough or shy for me, as I’ve trained myself to read them, communicate with them, and understand them by consuming far too many videos and articles. Let me walk, play with, and hang out with your dog when you’re busy! I’ll be a good leader for them!
