“Cindy is an absolute gem! Clearly read instructions before stopping by for first meet and greet! The communication and pictures before, during and after the daily visits gave me such peace of mind, and allowed me to enjoy my time away! My cat and I truly appreciated Cindy’s attention to detail and clear love for our furry friends!”
“Alaina was an amazing and very attentive dog sitter for us! She was very communicative and timely and sent us lots of photos of our pupper while she was in her care. I would absolutely feel comfortable leaving my animals in her care again!”
About: Hello! My name is Miya I have had many years of pet experience from puppies to elder dogs. I have only grew up with animals around. I am very active in my sports so i will be able to give much exercise while you are away. (i have had to administer pills through mouth as well and liquid in syringes). I truly love all animals super small to super big and would love to take care of yours while you’re away! (CONTACT FOR TIMES I DO WORK 2 JOBS) book with me for amazing, and loving pet care while you’re gone! 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐾 i have to take care of 4 animals every day. it plays a large role in my everyday life with work and vacation and now college starting, but i will make it work with them no matter what i have a privacy fence around the whole yard with a gate connecting and a glass door to help keep animals from running off. the fence is also very high so dogs can’t jump over and leave.
About: I grew up with dogs and they meant alot to me, I cared about them very much. I will treat your pet the same way I did mine. I'm a school bus driver and I'm off for the summer, so I can be available most days that you need me to take care of your pet. You can trust me to take good care of your pet. You can trust me to respect you, your pet and your home. I will make sure your pet is taken care of and safe.
“Our puppy had a great time with Kristin! We trusted her in our home, she replies quickly, is reliable, and she updated us with pictures of our fur baby while we were away.”
About: I've cared for my own dog for over 9 years, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to grooming and medication. I truly love animals and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I walk, feed, and spend quality time with my dog every single day, without fail. I follow each pet’s routine closely. Feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care. Whether in my home or the client’s, always prioritizing safety and comfort.
About: Rats, Cats, Dogs, even Bats (if you have one) I'll care for them all!! I've taken care of animals since I tried to nurse a bird back to health in elementary during recess! I work part time as a twitch streamer, so my schedule is fairly flexible! With pet owners' permission, I like to show some of the pets I care for to my community! Either way, I love spending time with any and all pets! I will adhere to your instructions as closely as possible. I know how important it is not only for the pet(s), but the owners as well.
About: Hello! I’m Natalie, and I love helping animals of all kinds get fresh air, exercise, and positive social time. With experience walking everything from high-energy puppies to mellow senior dogs, I adjust to each dog’s needs. I mainly work with small to medium breeds as well as cats and keep walks/visits calm, attentive, and fun. I’m always happy to reinforce good behavior with treats (with your permission!) and send updates so you know your babies are safe and happy. I'm currently working part time as a coffee barista so I'll have time to tend to your pets! I'll typically be available mid day most days with flexibility. When walking or visiting your fur babies, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. During walks, I make sure leashes are secure, follow your dog’s pace and preferences, and always clean up after them. After the walk, I ensure they have fresh water and send a check-in with how everything went. During drop-in visits, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention based on their comfort level. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each friend's unique personality—whether they love playtime, cuddles, or prefer their space. I also keep a close eye on behavior and send updates so you know they're safe and content. I respect your home and your pet like they’re my own.
“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs, Milo and Lila, on the day of our wedding. We needed someone to drop in on them to let them outside and feed them, and she provided us with text updates for each of her visits which took the weight of worrying about them off our shoulders. We would 100% have Abby come watch our babies again.”
“Chelsea is fantastic! My girl loved their visits and I was able to relax. I will not hesitate to h as ve Chelsea come again and watch/visit my girl again! If I could give Chelsea 10 stars I would!”
“Rebecca was attentive and patient with my two special needs dogs. She went above and beyond during her visits and sent regular updates and photos while I was away. Definitely reccommend. Thank you, Rebecca!”
About: I have experience caring for puppies as well as senior dogs and administering medications; I helped care for my family dog - Buddy (a shih tzu) who, as he grew older, had many health issues and needed multiple medications. I have some experience with training puppies and, over time have taken care of various dogs whether it be to walk, feed or care for them. I am a soon-to-be registered nurse in December and am currently working minimal hours throughout the week. I have plenty of time at the moment to provide care, walks, visits, and more for your animals. I provide safe handling of pets and am committed to your pets well-being based on your input as I understand that each pet has different needs; nobody knows your pet like you! I adapt quickly to situations and am ready to care for your animals with all the love.
About: I lived with a husky and a daschound for a couple of years recently with family and it was a lot of fun and great experience. I had small dogs growing up and I love large dogs too. I am very capable, reliable, and compassionate with both dogs and cats! I have extra time this summer, with more open availability than usual. I would love to help routinely (weekly or otherwise) with anyone that leaves their pets home alone a little bit more than they would prefer ideally! I have a larger space with an extra room, so I can temporarily take in at least two animals at my place if need be.
About: I've owned animals ever since I could remember. When I was a baby we had a cat named Pookie Bear. Around the time I turned 5 my parents bought me a dog I named Pumpkin. Around 7 years ago Pookie Bear unfortunatly passed away, but knowing we needed a cat we bought 4 more! Void, Cuddles, Peeper and Ci-Ci. Then in 2019 Pumpkin had to be put down, but I couldnt live without a dog, so that summer I went and bought a German Shepherd puppy that I named Gizmo. Gizmo is now 3 years old and I couldnt imagine life without him. He is truly part of the family now. I travel for work on some weekends but am mostly always free. I will make sure to always have my calendar updated to show when I wont be availible. If I am checking up on your animal I will make sure to follow all directions given and also give the animal the best care that it needs!
“Dawn was exceptional! We have a large, anxious dog and a cat and Dawn did so well with both of them! She sent great updates, and is so very sweet! We trust Dawn and are using her services again in a few weeks! We are thrilled to have found someone to watch both of our animals now!”
