“Did a great job this week with daily walks!! My dogs are much more calm now that they’re getting their daily midday walks! Punctual and reliable! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.
About: Growing up with a dog, cat, and even reptiles, I gained about 12 years of hands on experience, fostering deep compassion and patience to provide attentive, loving care for all kinds of pets. I’m currently attending a local school only 3 days a week for only 2 hours a day, I am available anytime other than those hours. I care for your pets in your home by providing personalized attention, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Allie is wonderful with Kaiden. She makes sure all of his needs are met. He loves her and can't wait to see her again! I am glad I have found such a wonderful, reliable, and great dog walker.”

About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve volunteered at the humane society to walk big dogs and help get them adopted. My last dog was a bull terrier who lived to be 16 and he was my first baby. Bull terriers and Great Danes are a unique breed but so much fun and it brings me so much joy to be around animals and help them in anyway I’m a stay at home mom and a retired Marine veteran. I have nothing but time during the week to help out and possibly weekends depending on the date and time. I can crate them if need be, walk, play, feed, bathe and watch over your pet drop off at doggy day care or play at the dog park if they’re up for it! I’m experienced in large strong breeds as well as tiny little guys!

“Tonya was excellent, my dog can take some time to warm up to new people, she was very patient with her and took the time to win her over. She is very professional and reliable, I have used her several times and will continue to do so.”


About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
About: I have always had pets! I have helped a dog give birth before. As well as trained several different breeds of dogs! I have also trained one cat to sit. I don't have a job right now so I'm available with little notice on weekdays and moderate notice on weekends! I will try to answer to everyone promptly I clean my cats litter boxes every other day and take my leash trained cat on a walk at least once a day! I can clean accidents, and litter boxes. I have no trouble following a feeding schedule or administering medication, I've given both dogs and my cats medicine in the past.
About: Hi i am Angela, i have worked as a vet tech for 16 years now. I have worked with both domestic as well as exotic animals in my career.If your fur baby needs medication I am able to give medications as needed. We do have animals come stay in my home, unless they are dog aggressive, Cats are not able to come to my home due to my pups, but i am able to come to your home to care for them. Animals have had a special place in my heart since i was young, this is one of the reasons i pet set. I am able to check on any of my clients up to 3 times a day if needed. Hope to speak to you and see your fur babies soon!
About: We own one dog and had two dogs before that. Dogs feel comfortable and loved here. No matter if short or long stays and big or small, old or young dog - there's always room and fun to be had. My husband and I grew up with dogs and can't be without. We have toys and some treats but individual dog-approved is always better. When boarding a dog over a time period that requires feeding I expect food to be provided. While I take any dog and treat it like my own I need to know in advance if there are medical or behavioral issues. I'm a stay-at-home mom of four little ones (10-2yo) We get up early every morning and go to bed rather late. I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog and my kids grew up with dogs so know how to treat/ not treat dogs. I can also separate dogs if needed. Dogs are always loosely supervised. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling 3 out of 4 kids and so am extremely flexible to all needs of your fur baby. My yard is fenced in for drop-offs that enjoy outside and we have a separate room if a dog requires a calmer environment than the business of a bigger family. I grew up with various dogs and sized dogs. I know how to handle most tempers that are not aggressive. I understand every dog has its own personality and timeline. We have two cars so I am available to drive out for drop-ins and walking.
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: Hi! I am a working professional who currently works from home. This gives me the opportunity to have a flexible schedule and the ability to take care of your pet at any time. I have had a variety of animals my entire life. I currently have a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua and two cats. I have two children ages 18 and 15. My 15 year old son is an animal whisperer!! He loves all animals and would like to work with animals as an adult in his future. He will be accompanying me on all visits. I currently work remote from home. This allows a flexible schedule and the ability to meet pet care requirements. I am available every day of the week and weekends. I am available to care for your pet in your home for a variety of services. I can accommodate dog walks, playing, feeding, etc. Just let me know what you need.
“Cranesha was so loving and caring with Ody. I loved the pictures and text messages she sent me when she was walking him. He was so happy on his walk. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I was raised in Colorado, spending my summers with all types of animals from dogs, cats, goats, cows, horses, and chickens. I am very comfortable around animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of all ages of both dogs and cats from kittens and puppies to senior pets (Thanks Mom and Dad!). I have experience training basic commands to puppies, working with anxious dogs, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications to puppies, special needs, or senior dogs. I am very reliable and aim to provide the best service to every pet and pet parent. I'm patient, kind and love animals. I recently switched from being a technical writer full-time to providing pet care full-time, so I am able to provide 24-hour care to your fur babies. I still write on the side, but your pet is my priority. I work on my laptop and my schedule is very flexible so I am able to focus on your pet during their entire stay. I live in a 3-bedroom home with a large fenced yard and swimming pool. My entryway has double doors that adds a second layer of security for pets during drop-off and pick-up. I have 3 dogs of my own that are very friendly as we have been doing this for quite some time. The two little dogs keep to themselves as they are older. My golden loves every one and every thing. She makes for the perfect playmate. In case your dog is over-stimulated or just needs a break, I have a way to separate my dogs using baby gates so that we are all still together in the same living area but can rest. I also have four crates here, if needed. Safety is my number one priority!
“We absolutely loved Rebecca and will book her again the future! I have a large 60# pittie mix, medium 30# beagle mix and small 9# terrier mix doggies, and she handled them beautifully! I really appreciate when sitters stop by in advance to meet the doggies so that I can show the sitter where everything is, and Rebecca was super responsive and accommodating! I was also lucky she was available within 2 week's notice and bonus that she was available the week after Christmas. My pittie is shy and was very comfortable around her, as was my beagle mix and she was so attentive with my small newly rescued 9# terrier mix who is an older gent. Rebecca sent me pictures which I loved and kept in touch with me throughout my trip. I loved her messages and she has such a kind and professional demeanor. So happy I found her. 3 dogs - one of whom had only been with me for a week - is no small feat, but she was truly wonderful and took great care of my babies. I can't say enough great things about her. She settled my nerves about leaving my fur kids at home. Look forward to working with her again in the future! Thank you, Rebecca!”
