“We have previously used Penny for our dogs, one is our old guy, blind and needs special assistance. She is so kind and caring with him, sends pics as well. She goes above and beyond! Will for sure be using her again.”

Lisa F.

“Thank you so much, Julie for taking care of my baby girl Penny. I appreciate your attention to her and the photos. Definitely would recommend you again and to others!”

About: Taking care of dogs is my passion in life. I currently own 2 dogs, an elderly hound and a young shepherd. My love for these two made me decide to have a career in working with and training working line dogs. This career path has given me a lot of experience with dogs of all types. Whether you dog is "hard to handle" or "easy going", I will be the perfect sitter for you. My entire world revolves around dogs. On days that I'm not working with my work dog or caring for someone else's pet, I am out training my own dogs. This is my passion and dream career, and nothing makes me happier. I like to care for pets at their own home. Being in their own home and following the same routines will make them feel safe while you are gone and will build a sense of trust with me. Your pet's safety and happiness is my number one priority.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

“Breagha is a friendly pup but with all the recent changes in our lives has become pretty velcro with me. She took to Allie immediately and trusted her enough to trot out across the porch without me. She willingly went out in the yard for a short walk. Allie’s kind gentle personality is a perfect match for a sensitive collie.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Ryan. There was always great communication. He sent us photos and followed our care plan exactly as discussed. We appreciate Ryan and will definitely ask him to walk our dog again.”

Heidi F.

“Reanna has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too. It's great to have someone I can trust help my dog get some energy out while I'm at work. I highly recommend Reanna for dog walking and any other pet care needs!”

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter who provides safe, loving care in a clean, comfortable home. I’m a single mom with a flexible full-time schedule that allows for convenient drop-ins, walks, and both in-home and house boarding. My home is located in a downtown area with acess to a yard for supervised play and exercise. We have lots of sidewalks and parks for walking around the area. Services I offer: Drop-in visits and daily care Dog walking Small-animal boarding and care In-home or house boarding (small/medium dogs considered) Emergency contacts and daily photo/text updates Why owners trust me: Prior experience working with veterinarians and professional groomers I create personalized ID tags with my contact information for every pet in my care Clean, safe environment and attentive supervision Flexible availability for last-minute needs and scheduled visits Loving, calm approach—your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority I have one friendly dog who is well-socialized and used to sharing space with visiting pets (management and introductions are handled carefully for each new guest). I’m happy to discuss introductions, meet-and-greets, and any special needs or routines your pet requires. I work mostly from home so I am able to provide your pet with as much care, love and attention possible. We love animals and would love to work with you. We offer a safe home for all sorts of animals. We have cameras throughout the property, we keep dogs on leash at all times when outside unless at an approved dog park. We have tons of windows for our cat friends to sun themselves. We don't chance anything. We know how much they mean to you and we strive to be diligent in safety and care.

About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.

About: Every pet has their own story-whether it's a specific dance they do before breakfast, a favorite squeaky toy they can't sleep without, or the exact spot on the couch they claim as theirs. As your pet sitter, my favorite job is keeping those unique stories going while you are away. I focus on overnight house sitting because let's face it, pets are happiest in their own beds and I can step into their normal routine. I make sure their meals are right on time, their walk hits all the best sniffing spots, and bedtime always invites plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. I also like the challenge of training a new pup or teaching an old pup a new trick! Retired animal lover with open availability and a true passion for pet care! After retiring, I decided to dedicate my free time to what I love most: keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Because I don't have a traditional job to rush off to, your pet gets my full, undivided attention and companionship right in the comfort of their own home. Because I am retired, your home becomes my cozy haven, and your pet becomes my absolute priority. I don't just visit to fill bowls, and take care of "poo"; I step into their world to maintain the exact rhythm of their day so they feel completely safe, loved, and secure. From serving breakfast at their exact favorite hour, every task is done with patience and gentleness. My favorite part of the day is simply being present—whether that’s a lively afternoon game of fetch or laser tag, a gentle grooming session, or just sitting quietly on the couch so they have a warm lap to curl up on. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like a cherished member of my own family, giving you total peace of mind and giving them a companion who truly loves being there.

About: Hello! I'm Renee and I have been an "animal person" since I was a child. Starting with the family pets that were usually strays that came to stay, until today, where I have a total of 5 rescue dogs with diverse sizes and personalities. More about them later! I worked at Pampered Pet Clinic in Hillsboro Oregon several years ago and assisted the vet with procedures, surgeries, vaccinations and medications. Does your pet need timed medications? I would be happy to help you with it. I have been involved with rescuing, transporting and fostering dogs through several rescues, including "Key to Happiness" rescue which rescued and healed many homeless and injured dogs and found them new forever homes. My approach to pet sitting is to make the animal as comfortable and happy as possible, depending on what that particular pet needs the most. Some need petting and cuddles and some need playing and activity or both. It is stressful when their family is away and I make sure to become their friend. I am not there to correct behaviors but to give them the love and security that they're missing with out their family. I also have had folks come in and look after my beloved pets when going out of town and I know that it feels a little odd with someone coming into your home. For that reason I treat your home with the utmost respect. I don't go into any rooms with doors closed and do not help myself to anything that you have not specified. I check and double check all door locks and gates and am familiar with alarm codes. Your keys stay on my keychain at all times until they returned to you. I'm a mature and stable homeowner in the area with stellar local references. I will be happy to meet and greet you in your home to make sure we are a good compatible fit and can't wait to meet your fur babies! I mostly work from my home doing my online selling and crafts so have full time availability for pet and house sitting in your home. Visits, walking and even overnights are available. If I am staying in your home while you are away I will periodically leave to manage my home and pets but never more than 4 hours. Because of the number of dogs in my home with varied temperaments and sizes I prefer to pet sit in your home, rather than mine. It keeps my pups more balanced and all pets are happier in their own environment.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. Currently I have thirteen fur/feather babies. Two cats, one Australian shepherd and ten chickens. My pup just turned a year old so I have more knowledge with younger pups. Can't wait to meet your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom and have flexible availability. I can be there for your fur babies practically whenever you need me! I have better weekday availability, while weekends require planning ahead. Whether you need me to walk your dog, come over to ease their anxiety or simply let them out to potty, I can meet all their needs. Or if you have a high energy dog like my Aussie, I can get some of that energy out by playing with them while you are at work.

About: I have experience working with dogs and myself have owned dogs all my life. I frequently pet sit for friends and family, staying a week at a time in a few cases. I’m more than willing to stay overnight with your pets to keep them company when you’re gone! I’m willing to prepare meals for your pets if they are on a diet so long as you provide me with clear instructions and ingredients. I will care for “aggressive” dogs and provide senior pet care, including oral medication and bedtime routines. I am currently available 24/7. Morning afternoon evening and night! I will of course prioritize my own dogs, but currently I am able to go where I am needed! I will spend time socializing with your pets to ensure they don’t feel neglected while you’re gone, I adore all kinds of dogs and cats. If you have any other pets in the home I’ll gladly take care of them too, including small rodents, ferrets, reptiles, fish, and amphibians!

“Ryan is the most reliable, communicative, and helpful dog Walker and sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He took care of my dog like she was his own, and always gave me prompt and detailed updates. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Ryan is absolutely the best!!!”

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and not only do I take care of animals of my own I've taken care of friends' animals as well. I have experience working with animals of all ages and sizes as I currently have 9 year old Great Danes who I've helped raise since they were puppies. I have cared for rabbits, hamsters, and even frogs. With my dogs I have experience managing medications and special diets. I wake up every day with my Great Danes and hamster so daily pet care is just a part of what I do. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to take care of pets any day of the week. I will follow your instructions to ensure each pet is cared for in the way they are familiar. I can take them on walks, give them play time inside or out and lots of cuddles.

About: Hello! My name is Adrianna and I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I have 3 dogs of my own: a German shepherd, a husky mix and a golden doodle. I love animals of all types and have experience with special needs dogs, administering medication, and walking reactive dogs. My parents have 4 dogs as well that I routinely care for. I understand how comforting it is to know your pets are in good hands and I would love to be able to be that person for you! I typically work evenings, therefore daytime walks and visits are ideal for me and ensure I have lots of time to spend with your babies. I am happy to provide leashes and poop bags in case they are ever forgotten and i will ensure owners receive updates about their pets regularly.

About: I am a dog trainer at Feeders Supply Jeffersonville location. Everything I make from this site will go towards my career. I taught my own personal dog how to walk properly, sit, lay, stay, spin, to say his prayers, as well as many more when I had him! I enjoy any and every animal and breed I also have a few snakes. I request to meet the dog with the owner prior to any commitment to ensure they are comfortable with me. I took off house sitting temporarily due to past houses being unlivable. Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be. I also have two cats that joined our family that see dogs as other cats. They will end up playing with your dog by the end of their stay, guaranteed!

“She is an excellent young lady. She is very professional and respectful. The treatment of Winston is top notch.”
