About: I’ve taken care of people’s pets since I was 10 years old for neighbors. Now at 35, I own a small hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens. I’m comfortable with most animals. I am working full time as a therapist during the week but there are some week nights I am available generally from 6pm to 10pm except on Wednesdays and will be available most weekends. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed, walking, and playing. I am comfortable working with most types of animals, building a trusting relationship with your pet.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets, caring for family pets, friends pets and volunteering at local shelters over the years. I pet sit on the side as I am a full time dental assistant. Looking to make extra money by doing the things I love most...loving on some animals🤍 My hours with my full time job are consistent throughout the week (off weekends) so flexibility is potential but not guaranteed. However, any inquiries will be worked into my schedule to the best of my ability. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to meet your fur babies!! Respectfully will follow any rules clients have with their fur babies in & out of their home. Not allowed on the couch, I don't mind. Allowed on the couch, more cuddles for me!! Whatever works for you, works for me Actively searching for more furry friends🐾🤍

About: I treat every pet like family. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm not just here to check a box—I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure their tails keep wagging! Whether it’s going the extra mile for a nervous pup or making sure a senior pet gets their meds on time, I show up with care, patience, and a big heart. You'll get regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Over the summer we have 24/7 care in our home. Once school starts I will only be available weekends, however I do have other people in my home to accommodate requests as needed. I have a fenced in yard and space for a crate in my home. I work to make sure the environment is clean and suits the needs of your pet.

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years, including a Dalmatian, American Eskimo, and Australian Shepherd-all high energy dogs. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family when they’ve gone on vacation. I am a calm, caring, and active person who will love your dog like my own. I teach part time in the morning, every other day. Other than that, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, play ball, and feed them. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and plenty of dog toys to keep your puppy/dog happy. I also have a two year old Australian shepherd that can be a playmate to other friendly dogs if the dogs are socialized. In case of bad weather, we have plenty of room in our house to accommodate another dog.

Ali did a fabulous job! She was flexible, accommodating and able to coax out a shy cat. I am not out of town much, but, she's my preferred caregiver the next time around!

About: I've taken care of friends, family, and coworkers pets for the duration of their vacations, as well as many of my own over the years.

Secure and spacious back yard, plenty of room to run and play fetch, baby safe household (doubles as extra dog safe!), lots of love and attention provided

About: I'm a Vet Tech who has been caring for animals for a very long time and have tons of experience. Not only do I have knowledge on animals, but I also have a strong passion and love for all of them! Spending time with animals, walks, and play time is very important for pets, so i'm very pleased and willing to help owners out with needs. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I am very flexible and willing to work with you. I look forwards to hearing from you and getting the chance to be a part of your pets life! Any size, any energy level, any issues, I've seen it all, so please do not be hesitant when reaching out. My boyfriend and I also enjoy doing this together and work around each others schedules and take turns with visits or usually go together for new clients. I currently work full time so I prefer to do in home pet sitting when needed. I have many previous experiences doing this and feel the pets are more comfortable this way. Pet safety is extremely important whether making sure they are staying within a fenced in yard or being walked outside properly on a leash. I do my very best to ensure safety.

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally now for 3 years. I have worked in shelters, clinics, and doggy daycare and boarding as well as owned animals my whole life. I am currently going to school for dog training! I have multiple pets in my home every day. I have a dog named Zoomie, a cat named Nala, and a pet rat named Rocket. Zoomie and Nala get fed twice a while getting enrichment activities daily. Zoomie gets walks and playtime in the yard and Nala has her own leash and harness and gets to explore the yard as well. I am also going through dog training school so all day I am learning new things about different dog breeds and enrichment. I currently am a full time student and have a part time job so my schedule changes weekly! I have been learning different enrichment activities and training exercises that will help a dog stay mentally enriched and would plan on walking the dogs multiple times a day so that their physical exercise is met. I am quite flexible and can do almost any special requests that a client might need!
