Kylee is an exceptional dog sitter! She was incredibly patient and communicative, keeping us updated with lots of pictures. Even though our dog was a bit of a handful and rowdy during her visit, Kylee went above and beyond. She was honest and respectful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

About: Hi there! I’m Treva—an experienced and compassionate animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m 19 years old and currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to your fur baby. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide the best possible care. My services include dog walking, feeding, medication administration, enrichment activities, playtime, and one-on-one companionship. I’m comfortable handling pets with special medical or behavioral needs, and I always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. I also offer drop-in visits and overnight care for pet parents who need peace of mind while away. With over three years of hands-on experience in professional dog care—and two years spent managing a busy pet facility—I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve bottle-fed newborn puppies, worked with reactive dogs, and supported seniors with mobility issues. I’ve also been active in rescue, fostering, and rehabilitation efforts, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and the importance of patience and trust. Currently, I have three smart and kind dogs of my own, and we enjoy daily walks and visits to the dog park to get our energy out and stay social. We may live in an apartment, but we make sure to get outside every day for fresh air and fun! When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I bring a calm, reliable presence, strong organizational skills, and most importantly—a whole lot of love. 🐶💖 Let’s make your pet’s day (and yours) a little brighter! 🌟 I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I’m flexible with dates and times, and I’ll work with your schedule to make sure you have the best experience possible. I have three smart and kind fur babies of my own. Since we live in an apartment, we go on daily walks and visit dog parks to help get our energy out and stay active

About: I’m certified in Fear Free Animal Handling, providing safe and comfortable care for pets! I also work as an intern in a Veterinary clinic and currently am studying for Vet School. I’ve also worked with feral to domesticated pets, large and small, so I’ve got experience in almost pet! I’m hoping to have some extra cash on the side from school and work, and can make most situations work, I just need a sizeable notice. My most free days are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and sometimes weekends! For now I cannot board any pets, however, I’m more than happy to do feeding for many pets, help with medication administration, litter cleaning, and overall provide a few hours of attention and play time either in home or outside, though this depends on my current workload, however again, with enough notice I can make it work!

So …. I’m happy to offer care for your unique pets as well! My 💲pricing 💲and services ✅ are adjustable to suit your needs and your pet(s) needs.

I am happy to check on your dogs 🐕, cats 🐈, birds 🐦, hamsters 🐹, turtles 🐢, geckos 🦎, guinea pigs 🐹 etc. I have experience with 💊 oral medication administering for cats and dogs.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since childhood. I grew up with 4 different dog breeds and loved all of their different qualities. I have been taking care of other people’s dogs since I was in middle school and have been fortunate enough to keep doing during and post my college career. I love all types of dogs no matter how big, small, old, or young! I currently work part time, and have half a day off a week (flexible on which day) and one full day off a week (flexible as well). I get a 1 hour break when I am in the office, located near The Cafe. I do live with 2 dogs and a kitty that mean the world to me. I consider them all my children. I take both of them on walks daily and play with them in the park everyday! I also love doing my own thing by them!

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was 6 and taken care of all of them, neighbors' and families' animals actively for the last 4ish years! I would love to add a basic groom for an extra $10 added to any service you have scheduled. I have my own dog that I trained since he was a puppy, and he is now almost two. I also take care of a family's dog on a daily basis. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I have a huge yard with long leashes. I also love to take our dog to the dog park. If you also have a pass, I would love that. My dog is mild to high energy and loves other dogs!

Erin was so sweet, caring and energetic. She was amazing with my cat and dog while we were out of town. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before and my dog was obsessed with her. We were so pleased with her care and she went above and beyond for them, she sent us updates and photos throughout the day. I definitely recommend Erin if you are looking for someone to be reliable and care for your pets when you’re away!

About: I grew up in an animal loving household. My mom is a vet so that helps lol. I have had a pug, Yorkie and a St. Bernard. I currently have a French bulldog and two Frenchie mixes. I also have owned a Ferret and I currently have a snake. I have pet sat in my neighborhood for a while now. I have also pet sat for my mom's coworkers too. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, llama's, alpacas, horses, goats and poultry. I'm here for all your animal needs! I showed dogs in 4-H for 8 years. Showmanship, obedience, and agility. I showed a St. Bernard, French bulldog, German shepherd and a Golden retriever. I also showed my ferret and my snake in the small pet show. I will be in school staring end of August so I will have to see what that will look like for me. This summer I will have another job so I will have to make this work around that. Just contact me and I'm sure we can figure something out. I will have to go to your place to care for your animals. I will be in an apartment starting August and my roommate would not be too thrilled if I had animals over to care for. If you really need your pet at my place for a short time then lmk and I will have to talk to my roommate. I will try to make something work.

About: By working at a professional dog boarding facility, I have the training and knowledge to care for 3lb pups to 120lb full-grown adults. This includes bathing, nail trimming, safe administration of medication, walking, de-escalation, and mild training. When it comes to cats, I have lived with them my entire life, from all claws to no claws, and kittens to mothers, I have a lifetime of experience caring for calm to feisty felines. I am currently enrolled in a class through DMACC and I work part time at a job. I am home mornings, evenings, and mid-day. I also have a roommate who is just as experienced as I am to help with around-the-clock care! I do live in an apartment so I am only willing to board cats, but I am happy to travel to you to take care of your companions in a familiar environment.

About: Throughout my life, I've immersed myself in the joy of caring for animals, with a special affinity for dogs. Growing up, our home was always filled with the delightful presence of pets, and I naturally became the go-to person among my family and friends for all their pet-sitting needs. Whether it's overnight stays or providing casual playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks, I've got it covered. Overflowing with love and positive energy, I assure you that your furry companions will thrive under my attentive care. With a decade of remote work experience and my nine-year-old engaged in school during the weekdays, my availability is somewhat sporadic during the week. However, my weekends are wide open, providing a flexible and reliable option for your pet care needs. While looking after your pets at your place, I'll stick to their usual routines, making sure they get their meals and playtime on schedule. Whether it's just quick check-ins, leisurely strolls, or easy overnight stays, I'm all about keeping your pets happy and chill in the coziness of their own home.

Erin was so sweet, caring and energetic. She was amazing with my cat and dog while we were out of town. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before and my dog was obsessed with her. We were so pleased with her care and she went above and beyond for them, she sent us updates and photos throughout the day. I definitely recommend Erin if you are looking for someone to be reliable and care for your pets when you’re away!

Julian is responsible and caring. I trust Julian completely to come to my house even if I am gone and care for Duke. She genuinely cares about him and gives him the love and attention that he needs. She takes very good care of him. He loves being with Julian, immediately wagging his tail when he sees her. If Julian is going to care for your pet, you are the lucky one. I highly recommend Julian.

Ceondra was great at communication, she clearly loves animals, and her day job as a vet tech provides an added sense of security. She was a great person to look after my lab.

About: By working at a professional dog boarding facility, I have the training and knowledge to care for 3lb pups to 120lb full-grown adults. This includes bathing, nail trimming, safe administration of medication, walking, de-escalation, and mild training. When it comes to cats, I have lived with them my entire life, from all claws to no claws, and kittens to mothers, I have a lifetime of experience caring for calm to feisty felines. I am currently enrolled in a class through DMACC and I work part time at a job. I am home mornings, evenings, and mid-day. I also have a roommate who is just as experienced as I am to help with around-the-clock care! I do live in an apartment so I am only willing to board cats, but I am happy to travel to you to take care of your companions in a familiar environment.

Savana was fantastic with our dogs. She was kind, reliable, communicated throughout the stay, let our home in perfect condition and our pooches were happy and well cared for in Savanas capable hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering her as a petsitter or dog walker.

My dog Max absolutely adores Tayler! He gets excited whenever she walks through the door. Tayler is an incredibly nurturing and kind human. I know that my pets and my house are safe in her hands. I would highly recommend her services!
