About: I've taken care of all shapes and sizes of fur babies. I've looked after animals since I was 12 years old. I have 7 pets at home not all fluffy with 2 leopard geckos. I have no job currently and i have a open schedule. I am very flexible with times and have a reliable car. I see pet care as not a job but me going to meet new fluffy friends. I am only about to do house visits do to me having 3 cats and a dog. They all are very friendly but I wouldn't want to stress them out. At your homes I am more than happy to come multiple times a day to check on your animals. I also clean up any messes that your babies might make.

Shelby was a life saver and the best dog walker ever. I had to bring my dog to my parents house for an out of state trip for two weeks. My parents are +70 years old and can’t walk my husky dog. I met Shelby and she was the only person I needed to see. Prince loved her immediately so I knew he was in good hands. Shelby gave Prince daily walks for one hour. Took him on trips to dog parks and even gave him a bath on his last day since it was a rainy week. I highly recommend her for any service and if I’m ever back in town with Prince I’ll definitely see if she’s available.

I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for pets in my care. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established routine as closely as possible—feeding times, portion sizes, walks, litter changes, and playtime. I pay close attention to their body language and energy so I can adjust my approach to keep them comfortable. I always follow instructions and double check everything to keep routine with your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Anna — a calm, reliable pet sitter who treats every dog like they’re my own. I specialize in providing structured, low-stress care for dogs who do best with routine, patience, and clear expectations. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, consistent routines, or someone confident handling anxiety or new environments, my priority is always the same: your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. One of my own dogs, Velma, has been raised and trained using calm, consistent routines in both home and public settings. That experience taught me how much dogs thrive when guidance is clear, fair, and stress-free — and I bring that same patience and structure to every dog in my care, no matter their age or background. I believe peaceful downtime is just as important as play, and I tailor care to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your pet’s existing routines, administer medications if needed, and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I offer flexible availability to support busy families, shift workers, and last-minute needs. Early mornings, late evenings, and overnights are all welcome. Available time blocks: Early Morning: 5–7 AM Mid Morning: 8–11 AM Lunch Time: 11 AM–1 PM Mid Afternoon: 1–3 PM Late Afternoon: 3–6 PM Tuck-In Visits: After 7 PM Overnight Care: Starting at 9 PM If your routine doesn’t fit neatly into one block, feel free to message me—I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I follow clear, consistent protocols so every animal in my care stays protected, calm, and comfortable. For Boarding & Daycare: • Crates are required for all pets staying with me. • Pets are crated at night and anytime they’re unattended — this prevents accidents, stress, and interactions that could put them at risk. • Crate time is kept calm and positive, like a safe little “bedroom” just for them. For Drop-Ins & Walks: • All pets are kept leashed or in a harness during any outdoor time, no exceptions. • I feed all animals individually to prevent food guarding, stress, or misunderstandings between pets. These routines help ensure that everyone — yours and mine — stays safe, relaxed, and happy throughout their visit.

About: Hi! My name is Sierra, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for them, understand their behavior, and enjoy their company every day. I used to go to the dog park regularly with my own dog, so I’m comfortable handling dogs in social settings and making sure they stay safe and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend as if they were my own! I’m currently a full-time traveler with a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to be available most days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and even short notice bookings. My lifestyle gives me the freedom to adapt to your dog’s needs and routine, whether it’s a daily walk, occasional drop-in, or a last-minute outing. When caring for pets in their home, I always make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure your pet stays comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I’ll only do what’s asked of me, and if I ever have any questions or need clarification, I won’t hesitate to reach out to you directly. Communication is important to me, and I want to make sure everything is done just the way you prefer for your pet’s routine and well-being.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young, I have almost always been surrounded by pets and have been taking care of them. I also have pet sit other family members pets. I always do my best to go above and beyond for any animal in my care. Now I’ll admit I haven’t done it professionally just yet and hoping to have the chance to do so. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, rabbits, small rodents, and even horses. I am a social worker and do services in clients homes during the day, I have a flexible schedule but I do see my clients during the day, so I will not be a good fit if your pet needs all day care. However, I am available for check-in visits and overnight stays. I cannot keep any pets in my home because it’s a rental. At your place I will make sure to go by any scheduling you have for food, walks, and playtime. If you don’t have set scheduling that’s ok as well, I will provide your pet in any way you say is needed.

About: I have worked for years at animal shelters as a volunteer, I have also pet sat for a few people over the years and have a great understanding of how animals communicate through body language. Since I grew up in a household with, at one point, 5 large dogs, 2 cats and a bearded dragon, I understand that all pets require specialized care and special attention. When it comes to size, I have cared for Great Danes, a husky, a malamute, labs, and even a dachshund, so I have experience in a variety of different sized pets. I only have one obligation which is around 12pm daily, however I can shift that slightly later if necessary. Otherwise I can work nights, days, and/or mornings. I have worked in a fire department before and have worked at hours most wouldn’t want to. I can care for your pets in whichever way you see fit, as owners understand their pets in a unique way. I would love to understand more about your pet so I can give them the highest quality of care possible.

About: I have taken care of both of my dogs Betsy and Copper for over 8 years and I have also worked at a doggy days care for over a year and gained knowledge for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am currently a student at Jacksonville State University so I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I am always free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at any time. Since I live in an apartment I would have to sit at the client’s home. If I am needed to care at the client’s home I can easily feed the dog at the proper time and take them out for needed potty breaks. I could run and play with the dog and walk them at any time they need some exercise.
