“Cayla is an amazing dog caretaker! She has a genuine love for animals, and it is apparent in her interactions with them. My dog is my baby, there is not many people besides my family and closest friends I trust with him, but Cayla is someone I can say I truly trust to take the best care of my pup! She makes each animal feel loved and special. I would very highly recommend Cayla!”

About: I’ve had pets especially dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of other dog for two weeks. I’m currently having two cats living with us. Pets are best thing to have! I’m currently working on call as substitute teacher. So I’d thought I could work on days I’m available to look after pets, dogs or cats. Take dogs for walk and feeding if need to. I have a backyard but not fenced. But take walk if need. Play with ball or toys. Giving lots of cuddles. Important making them feel comfortable and safe.

“Emily is a sweet woman who is definitely an animal lover! My dog fell in love with her and thoroughly enjoyed each walk they went on. I highly recommend Emily as she is dependable and will be wonderful with your fur baby!”

“Jack did a great job with Pivo on his walks. He was punctual and watched over Pivo the way we had asked him to. We'd be happy to have Jack walk Pivo in the future.”

“Deanne provided daily drop-in dog walking for my 1 year old golden puppy, Daisy. Daisy is full of energy and can be a bit much but she always seemed happy when I got home from work after having a walk with Deanne. Deanne was always flexible with hours, often accomodating change in dog walking times as needed. She always sent photos of Daisy during or after the walks. I would highly recommend Deanne for her services!!”

About: I've been walking dogs for family and friends since I was about 13, and I've always cherished those moments of connection. I have a deep love for animals. Even at almost 40 years old, if I see a turtle in the road, I can't help but stop and try to save it. I've recently embarked on a weight loss journey and have quite a bit to lose. It's been a struggle for me since childhood. As a mom of 3, my weight has held me back from fully embracing life with them. While you'll never see me running marathons or jogging, you'll often find me out walking. On my days off, my kids and I love spending the whole day hiking and exploring, searching for mushrooms and little critters. We love being outdoors and discovering new places. That's why I've started jotting down a bucket list of parks, lakes, and exciting spots to explore. I'd be thrilled to have your furry friend join me on my adventures! Your pal can keep me company on our walks while getting some exercise and lots of love. I always take pictures of our hikes and little escapades, and I'll be sure to share them with you afterward. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! Looking forward to having you join me on my journey! Hey there! I wanted to let you know about my availability for the next few weeks. Unfortunately, due to my full-time job, I have limited availability for the time being. Here's my schedule until July 5th, 2024: Temporary Availability: - Saturday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM - Sunday: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM Temporary Weekday Availability: - Monday: 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM - Tuesday: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM - Thursday: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM - Friday: 1:00 PM - 10:00 PM I hope this schedule works for you, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I always look forward to getting to know your fur-baby before our first meeting. My goal is to not only gain your pet's trust but also build a lasting friendship. Dealing with my own anxiety, I understand how tough it can be to express yourself and adapt to new situations. Being away from home can be scary, and our pets can't tell us how they feel. Just like how I appreciate someone taking the time to understand me, I want to do the same for your pet. So, if there's anything that your pet loves or makes them happy, I'd love to hear about it! And if there's anything that makes them uncomfortable, I definitely want to know so I can make them feel safe and happy until you return. I'll make sure to document my time with your pet and snap lots of cute pictures to share with you! Also, I might include in your fur-baby's report: - What your pet was up to when I arrived - How they were feeling - Their mood when I left - happy and content? - Details about our activities and where we went

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and cats as well. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve had golden retrievers, pit bulls, Rottweilers, and a mini golden doodle. We currently have a 3 month old Golden Retriever! I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to a 17. Month old little boy and a 3 month old Golden Retriever! So I’m available all the time! My son is a huge animal lover already and will be joining me on check ins and walks so please keep that in mind! Your pets safety is my first priority. They will get plenty of love and play time from myself and my son! You’re pet will be treated as if they’re my own!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—over 33 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent to dogs, cats, and even crabs and lizards. My deep love for animals led me to work as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from basic care to administering medication and recognizing signs of illness. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, quiet companionship, or a little extra TLC, I bring patience, compassion, and confidence to every visit. I truly treat every animal like family. I work full-time but have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work remotely from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m fully available and present from Thursday through Sunday with no interruptions—your pet will have plenty of attention and company during those days. From Monday to Wednesday, I work a regular 8–5 schedule outside the home, but I always come home mid-day for a full hour-long lunch break to let pets out, go for a walk, or give them some love and attention. I make sure their needs are met and they’re never left alone for too long. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, we have a cozy and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced-in yard perfect for safe outdoor play. I share my home with two friendly dogs, a sweet cat, an animal-loving teenager, and my equally pet-obsessed boyfriend—so your furry friend will never be short on attention or companionship. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or social time, I can easily adjust the environment. Rooms can be closed off for privacy or opened up for free roaming, depending on your pet’s personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel at home, cared for, and secure—whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer visit.

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was born and have lots of experience providing care for many ages, behaviors, and disabilities. Over the last few years, I have aided with foster dog care, and while it can be challenging, it is very rewarding. Over the last few years, I have seen seniors, puppies, and pregnant dogs come through the home, and I always try to provide the best care I can while trying to find homes that are a good fit! I am working a part-time job at Carthage College and have ample time to help provide care. During the weekdays, I am quite flexible with my availability. On weekends I have lots of flexibility as well in order to provide ample support and care for pets. I am very active, so I am more than willing to provide walks and activities for your pup! If your dog needs medication, I am able to administer it when needed. I can also provide time outside and around the home if the dog must be in a crate.

About: I’m a guy who falls in love with dogs instantly. Don’t want them back? No worries! Dogs instantly want to be my best friend and I’ve never met a dog that I didn’t like or that didn’t like me. I work from home. My dogs are part of the family. I would take care of your dogs as if they were my own children. I have a doggy door and outside kennel for the dogs to use as needed. I’m also happy to take dogs on a walk and my wife is a super dog walker. We have two dogs-a Pomeranian who is all love and a lab who’s an old girl but who is the best dog you’ll ever meet. I understand dogs. How they communicate, how they operate. I know how to get them to develop good habits.

“Princess Blackie loved having Renee visit and walk with her. Princess Blackie was always happy to have Renee spend time with her. We will definitely request her to watch Blackie again!”

About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.

“We use Carrie to let our dog out while at work and we couldn’t recommend her more!! This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found her. She is reliable, a great communication and we love the photos we get from her. It is nice knowing our pup, Woody, is in good hands when she goes to take him on walks. You can tell Woody loves her as well. 10/10 recommend Carrie!!”

About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them

About: I am 30 years old and have years of experience pet sitting, as well as caring for my own dog. I grew up riding horses and will farm sit as well! I took a few years off from pet sitting to focus on work, and am slowly looking to get back to it! I would be more than happy to provide references upon request, and to answer any questions! I work Monday - Friday from 8:00-4:30. I am open on the weekends and will do the hours required by the owner. If the pet is nearby my work on Fridays, I can stop by on my lunch to let it out. I am attentive to the animals needs and the owners usual routine. I try to make every visit for the pet, stress-free and fun, by accommodating the needs of the dog.

“Thanks so much!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a wide range of pets, especially rescue dogs and senior animals. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to older pets with mobility or medical needs, and I understand that each animal requires a unique kind of love and attention. I’m patient, observant, and gentle — especially with shy or anxious pets. While I don’t have a pet right now (just got married and moved so it's been a crazy few months), I miss that connection and would love to help others care for their furry family members. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work a pretty flexible schedule so that leaves me with lots of flexibility for pet care! I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or sitting depending on your pet’s needs and schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and love spending my free time with animals! I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets and their homes. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and loved. I treat your space with the utmost care, following any specific instructions you provide. Being responsible and respectful is my top priority—I want both you and your pet to feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.
