About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them I know how important they are I would do anything for my fur babies! I have over 8 years of experience helping care for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶💕 I currently work at an elementary school as a resource para with special needs children Monday-Friday 8:30am to 12:45pm. I also am a full time college student I am working for my doctorate in Occupational Therapy! Thankfully all of my classes are online so everyday after 12:45 I am available!! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own—a 5-year-old Corgi and a 2-year-old Wirehaired dog. Both are fully trained, very friendly, and active. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in my home as well as in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in their home, I will follow their normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life! I've done in house and drop in pet sitting for family and friends over the years, and have spent time caring for special needs pets (medicine, on-time insulin injections, diapers, etc.). I personally have 2 elderly cats that I've enjoyed caring for in their golden days! I am currently on a gap year after having just graduated college (this past December from UNO!) so I have plenty of time to spare! When visiting a home I'm happy to do walks, feeding, brushing, and check for things like trash knocked over, clean messes, etc. I can also provide medicine (pills, liquid, and injectable medicine) to both dogs and cats, as well as insulin shots and changing pet diapers. I understand these things can be time sensitive and crucial to your pets health!

About: My family has 3 dogs and I adore them. I absolutely love animals and I believe every pet deserves love and attention. I am a broke college student saving for my future! I hope to use my love for animals to help me financially:) I am a college student so I have a pretty wild schedule. Im free most mornings and afternoons depending on my schedule for my other job. I try to be as flexible as I can! I have 3 dogs at home! I help take them outside 3 times a day considering I do not have a fence currently. I love taking them on walks. My two younger dogs are super energetic so I love playing with them to get their energy out! I love meeting new animals:)

About: Hello, my name is Amaya! My number one priority with your furry friend is keeping them safe and stress free. Some activities could include mental enrichment and stimulation. There are a few games I play with my dog that I know your pet would love too! All in all, I would like to make the experience fun for me and your friend I have experience at doggy day cares and worked with puppies ranging from teacup to Great Danes. I also have experience grooming and bathing dogs and cats. I believe every pet has their own intrinsic personalities and their own quirks and I would love to get to know your baby. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Thank you! I currently work full time in a warehouse. I work four 10 hour shifts so I get three days off during the week and then I work weekends. I have five years of experience in doggy day cares and grooming for cats as well. I have extensive knowledge in enrichment activities for cats and dogs. I believe that the key to a happy pet is mental enrichment and stimulation. I do potty breaks every 2-3 hours depending on age.

About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience and 7 years working in veterinary medicine. I studied Animal Science and currently serve as a Health Coordinator in shelter medicine, after years of experience as a veterinary assistant. My background includes working in Emergency and General Practice, so I am confident for caring for pets with a wide range of needs, from puppies and kittens to seniors and those requiring medications or special instructions. I’m especially patient with anxious or shy animals and understand how to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, nail trims, giving medications or providing calm reassurance, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners complete peace of mind. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7am–4pm, with Fridays ending at 2pm. This gives me plenty of availability for weekday evenings (also early mornings), weekends, and Friday afternoons. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your routines and instructions closely so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, medications, nail trims, exercise, and providing enrichment so they feel happy and relaxed. My background in animal medicine also helps me notice small changes in behavior or health, giving you extra peace of mind. I do have a French Bulldog puppy who unfortunately is blind but training her and adding her to the family has had a good impact on how to handle and care special needs animals.

About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as family and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.

About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time

About: I have experience with pit bulls, both large and small dogs, and all felines. I can give pill medication and have expereince giving liquid medicine as well. I also know how to handle felines with seizures and other disabilities. I love to give pets, and I promise to give plenty of attention to your babies! I am currently working full time at Tri-Center Schools, as well as choreographing for show choirs and musicals in the metro. Weekends are typically free, and I have most of my afternoons free as well! Mornings are not available during school days, but will be open during breaks! My own cats will not like having friends over just yet, but I am totally down to come hang out with your pets! I have 6 years of education and have had numerous background checks, I am completely trustworthy and capable!

About: I have loved animals since I came out of the womb. I have 2 cats myself and I absolutely love dogs. I have taken care of animals since I was 10. I also have volunteered at the humane society. I would absolutely love to meet your fur babies and the owners of course. I do online school, so I am very flexible when it comes to watching over your pets. I can wake up early and stay late. Whatever you need. I would love to keep your fur baby company, take them on walks (short or long), play with them, and obviously learn all about their little quirks.

About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am not currently working so my days are opened for anything, anytime! I may be finding a part time job soon, if I do not have lots of pets to watch, but something that still keeps my schedule open and flexible. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the free time and flexibility! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I've been taking care of my own personal pets since I was in high school. We currently have two dogs. A Golden Doodle and a Bichon. Our house is always busy. We have kids and dogs so someone is always home to watch after your pet and give lots of love! Can't wait to meet them! I have two friendly dogs and a fenced backyard with a dog door. Your dog will have lots of built in entertainment! We are a smoke free home with small children.

“Opening my home and trusting our pup with someone I didn't know was nerve racking. That was until I met Jeannie! You can tell she truly has a passion for animals and enjoys what she does. Communicates well, punctual, and does her best to work with your scheduling needs. Highly recommend.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a black lab, a beagle, and a grey tabby cat, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve worked as a boarding manager and at a structured dog daycare focused on creating calm, positive environments for dogs. This gave me experience reading dog body language and understanding different personalities, from high-energy pups to shy or anxious pets. I also volunteer at a local rescue, which has helped me build patience and trust with animals who need a little extra care, including senior or nervous pets. I’m confident handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide regular updates and photos, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. ✍️Quick Highlights • Experience with cats & dogs of all ages and temperaments • Former boarding manager and dog daycare worker • Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and high-energy pets • Able to reinforce basic training • Work from home with a flexible schedule • Frequent updates and photos 🐶💕Care Style & Training I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping their routine calm and consistent. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medications, and house rules, and I respect both your home and your pet’s boundaries.

About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.
