About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them all. I have been petless for the last year since we lost our corgi to cancer. We are not ready to get a new dog yet but this service allows me to get my pet fix and help out dogs…and their owners. I currently do not have a real world job so I am open to any kind of schedule. The closer to home the better, though. I have a small fenced yard and live in a quiet dead end neighborhood. I am open to care in my home or yours. I also have a medium sized crate from my corgi if needed and lots of toys and snuggly beds.

About: I've taken care of animals wether they're mine or someone else's for as long as I can remember. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them. I communicate everything to make sure your pets are safe and happy! 🥰 My schedule is very flexible and I know our pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and low-stress experience in your home. I follow feeding instructions carefully, keep litter areas clean, clean up accidents in case your pets get anxious when your away, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and happy. I treat every pet and animal like my own and respect their individual personalities, space and routine. Whether your pets are playful, shy, or independent, I provide patient care, attention, fresh food and water, litter maintenance, and updates/photos while you’re away. Between dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and even the little guys like hamsters and fish.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all sizes since I was little. Animal care has always been my passion growing up and that’s how I ended up with my very special kitty Buddy! I work full time(8-5), but have weekends off! Depending on driving distance to my job, I can be there for my lunch break to let them out and potty. Depending on the animals needs/ owners needs I am very flexible. Between, if you want me to, keeping up with training, daily walks, or even just laying around and snuggling on the couch. I am all for it!

Tara was an outstanding pet sitter for our Juniper. We actually booked her as a house sitter as well and she took care of our other animals and random things that came up. Very responsible and I could tell Juniper was being looked after and loved. Thank you so much. Would book her again anytime!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From a young age, I helped watch and care for neighbors’ and friends’ pets, which taught me how meaningful—and rewarding—pet care truly is. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to three animals of my own, and I also have two young children, which has deepened my patience, attentiveness, and nurturing approach to caregiving. I believe in more than just meeting an animal’s basic needs—I strive to provide enrichment, comfort, and a happy, loving environment. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, general grooming, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and using positive reinforcement training. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m very flexible with my schedule! My little man will be with me during any morning or day time visits so animals must be okay with children. I’m very attentive with my own animals. I make sure they don’t get into anything and pay close attention to their needs. In any circumstance I would provide the same level of care to someone else’s pet.

Juliana did a fantastic job with our dog, Bistro. He requires a lot of extra attention and daily medication, and Juliana made sure he got both. She took great care of our house as well, watering plants and picking up the mail and newspaper. Our house was clean and neat when we got home, and Bistro was happy and obviously well-cared for.

About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I am a mom to 4 high-energy medium/large breed dogs. I am no stranger to cleaning up accidents, administering medications, handling pets with reactivity, and fulfilling exercise such as playing fetch, tug, flirt pole, long walks, brain stimulation (keeping up with training/commands) or simply snuggling if your baby is low activity. I have been a self-employed residential cleaner for over 8 years and create my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to care for your pets and mine! I am so grateful for all my clients who trust me to help take care of their home and I am hoping to build trust with pet parents as I would love to transition into pet care full time as it has always been what I am most passionate about. While I do have four dogs of my own, I am able to keep your dogs separate from mine at all times if requested and or necessary when boarding. I built my dogs their own apartment behind our house fully equipped with heat, ac, a bed, and doggie door leading to a fenced in area so your dog(s) does not have to be dog friendly and we are also child free so your dog can be the only baby in our home the duration of their stay! But if you would like for your dog(s) to have a playdate and a doggie daycare style stay that can be arranged as well!

We had a wonderful experience with Elasa and Stephen! They took excellent care of both our dogs and cats, including administering medications without any issues. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We were delayed coming home and they came back to check on the dogs. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, very happy and well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!

About: I have three dogs with my family. A Great Pyrenees, German shepherd, and English Retriever. Which we raised from puppies. We have also raised chickens. I have always grown up with animals and will love and take care of yours like family. I am a college student with a very flexible schedule, Monday-Sunday. I have taken care of several multi-pet households from high energy german shepherds to the biggest of couch potatoes. I have taken care of dogs and cats in the same household and will maintain their routine and give them many potty breaks. PS: I know my photos dont look the best whoever I am working on it and you will receive many updates on your pets day I am a college student so my schedule is very flexible and allows me all the time in the world to love your pets. I am available Monday-Sunday starting at 10am til whenever I am needed I will follow whatever schedule you give to the letter. The average day would be breakfast in morning with a 30 min to an 1hr walk to give them all the time to digest and get that energy out. In the afternoon I will either play with them outside or go on another walk. In the evening is dinner and another walk or playtime so they can take that well deserved nap. In between those walks I will always be near and doting on your pet (unless they show discomfort) and making sure they get there potty breaks and water is filled. I couldn't imagine treating your pet anyless than my own.

Kari is amazing with our two pets! She was kind enough to care for them at a last minute request! She truly picked up quickly on all their quirks and personality traits and caters to them beautifully. We’re so lucky to have her care for our pets! She also captures their personalities in her great pictures!!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and birds. My family bred Great Danes while I was growing up, so I helped care for newborn puppies and learned early on how important patience, routine, and enrichment are for animals of all ages. I also regularly care for my family’s senior Great Dane during vacations, so I’m comfortable with both energetic young pets and older animals who need extra gentle care. As a flexible college student, I’m available for weekends, recurring drop-ins, and overnight house sitting in your home. I love adapting to each pet’s personality — whether they need calm reassurance, playful energy, or lots of attention and enrichment. I follow instructions carefully and send frequent updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time only 2–3 days a week (5-7 hour shifts), which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, recurring visits, and overnight house sitting, as well as open on weekends! I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to provide consistent care! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and household instructions so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m experienced with large breeds, senior pets, puppies, and non-traditional pets, so I’m comfortable handling unique routines and specialized care. I truly love animals of every kind, and I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own.
