About: As a young adult, I've had many opportunities to care for the pets of friends and family, and I'm always happy to help. I've looked after a variety of breeds and personalities, from German Shepherds and Dachshunds to Maine Coons. Every pet deserves attentive care, love, and patience. As the proud dog mom of two Corgis, I'm experienced with energetic, intelligent, and sometimes sassy personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate recurring visits as well as one-time bookings. I'm happy to work with pet owners to create a routine that best fits their pet's needs and provides consistent, reliable care. For recurring bookings, I'm happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can become comfortable with me and feel safe in your home. For one-time visits, I simply ask that we discuss your pet's routine, greeting preferences, and any special instructions in advance so I can provide the best possible care. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or plenty of affection, I'll make sure your pet feels cared for while you're away.
About: What makes my pet care different is the personal touch I bring to every visit. I don't just care for your pets-I make sure you feel connected to them while you're away. I love capturing their personalities through fun photos and sending you daily updates so you never miss a tail wag, silly pose, or happy moment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family is safe, loved, and having a great time, while giving your pets the attention, play, and care they deserve. As a full-time online student, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize caring for pets throughout the week. I'm available during weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and playtime, and I also offer overnight care for families who need extra support. Because my classes are online, I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet's routine, ensuring they get consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever you need it. I am a trustworthy sitter with four years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, understand that every animal has unique needs and I adapt my care to fit their routine, personality, and comfort. My reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals mean you can feel confident knowing your pet is in safe, caring hands. With a flexible schedule, I make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve-just as if they were my own.
About: I have been a professional dog groomer for over 12 years, working with all breeds and ages of dogs. I have had pet dogs and cats of my own for as long as I can remember. Dogs are my passion and I'd love to continue working with them for as long as I can. I also enjoy walking and hiking, and taking four legged friends with me would make it even better. I am currently taking a break from professional dog grooming but miss interacting with numerous dogs in my day-to-day life. Currently, I am available any day from 10am-7pm. I am currently living in an apartment that has two dog parks and a mile long trail on site. One of my dogs is extremely friendly and playful, while the other is older and prefers to nap all day.

“Misao was absolutely lovely to my two boys Carl and Charlie! From the moment they met Misao and how excited they were to be around her, I just knew they were going to be in good hands. She was always on time and follow my directions perfectly about walking and feeding my 2 boys. Misao is genuinely sweet, respectful and kind, attributes that I value very much in someone taking care of my two boys. Thank you Misao for taking good and proper care of Carl and Charlie when I was away from home. You will be the one I will remember to book to take care once again of Carl and Charlie in the near future! 💕🐶🐶💕”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals throughout my life. I grew up with a dog and have since gained hands-on experience caring for dogs during many house-sitting stays. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s established routine. I’ve also had cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, boundaries, and ways of communicating. As an energy practitioner, I’ve developed a calm, grounded, and observant presence that animals often respond to naturally. It also helps me notice their subtle cues and give them the affection, reassurance, or space they need. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet and home with genuine care and respect. I carefully follow instructions, keep everything tidy, and provide photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time and have a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I’m best suited for drop-in visits before or after work, evenings and weekends, as well as house-sitting stays. During house sitting, I can maintain your pet’s morning, evening, and overnight routine. Some daytime visits may also be available depending on location and advance notice. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to ensure my availability is a dependable fit for their needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, playtime, litter, and household instructions while respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. I keep doors and gates secured, maintain a clean space, and provide regular photo and message updates. I approach every animal calmly and patiently, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace.
About: I've been an animal lover and care taker for years. I am a homeschooling mama of two children and have taken care of/trained dogs specifically for the past five years so I know the discipline that is necessary to maintain their wellbeing. I am open Tuesdays-Thursdays 10am to 230pm. Mondays after 3pm. Weekends will vary about every other week but I am definitely open to those days as well. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to living in an apartment complex at this time. As a pet walker, I am very respectful in places that do not belong to me. The ONLY focus is the animals that I am caring for while completing the directions that have been given to me. I am open to additional tasks, like feeding, affection and clean up if necessary.
About: I have owned and cared for pet's since I was a little kid. I have trained all my dogs since they were puppies and love rewarding them when they've learned something new. Dogs and cats alike tend to love following me around. They seem to attach easily to me. Seeing them happy and truly smile is a deep joy of mine. My schedule is very flexible since I am home all day, every day of the week. My day's consist of kiddo drop-off's and pick ups. I have a fully fenced backyard, love taking walks around town, and have one extra large dog who absolutely loves when other dogs come to play.
“Duri did an amazing job caring for my two pups - ages 13 and 1. My dogs warmed up to her instantly which is always a good feeling. She easily met the exercise needs of both dogs by taking one for a longer walk and swinging back to grab the other. She kept me informed of their walks, observations of eating patterns, and went out of her way to clean up a mess after one dog had an upset stomach. I highly recommend Duri to anyone looking for someone to take great care of your four legged family members and I cant wait to book her again.”
About: Growing up there was always a few animals in my family so I have ages of experiences with animals from all of the animal kingdoms. More recently I've been animals sitting for people in my personal life and decided to expand the operation. Additionally, I can promise a dedication to quality (though not professional) photos of your little ones while you're away. I am in college and working part time but am primarily looking for work during the break in classes before fall. My schedule is fairly flexible with planning ahead. I cannot care for animals in my personal home due to my own animals and live-in humans. However, I am committed to making the check ins/pet sitting satisfying for both the owner and pet while they wait to reunite.
About: Always check to see if the dog has food and water, especially during hot weather. I always play with the dog no matter if I'm tired. I live near a dog park so I visit there with my sister's dog when I watch him. I have had dogs of my own as well. I can work with any size of dog or breed of dog. Willing to work around your schedule as well. Thank you.
