About: I am a second year zoology major with the intention of further education in animal care. I have cared for the family dogs for just about six years (a combined number of four at this point). I am my family and friends' go to sitter. I am reliable and consistent. I am comfortable with pretty much anything, and have plenty of experience with reactive/aggressive dogs. During the summer I work full-time, and I'm a full-time student during the school year, however I don't have much going on outside of that and have plenty of time for drop-in care throughout the day. I’m also totally okay with overnight stays. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide boarding services due to my living situation. I am happy to provide whatever services you need within your home!

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, making sure they stay hydrated and comfortable throughout the walk. After each visit, I send you a photo to keep you connected and assured that your furry friend is in good hands.

About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.

About: I’ve been around dogs for about 10 years and have a genuine love for caring for animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a zoo, which taught me the importance of responsibility and attention to detail in animal care. At home, I lived with and cared for my family's dog for 5 years, which gave me daily experience with walks, play, and companionship. My background makes me patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of all personalities. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me flexibility to care for pets during the day. I have breaks between classes, and I’m usually done around 3 pm, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, and giving pets the attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their usual routine. I ensure they’re fed on time, have access to fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy playtime and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can keep them safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away.

About: Mom to two energetic pups.🐶 Roy (english setter) & Banks (black lab) keep my life exciting! We enjoy swimming, running, & a good ole cuddle on the couch. As someone whose job requires traveling, I understand the stress it can be to have someone else watch your pups. I’m here to hopefully make your life easier & remove extra anxiety that pups can cause when you’re traveling without them 💓 I am currently a Division 1 coach whose competition season is in the fall, so I only have Mondays off, but my spring season allows me to have an easier schedule with weekends free! I have two friendly, active pups who love to make new friends! I live within 5 miles of 3 different parks that I love taking my pups to!

“Our pups had a great first day with Mackenzie. She arrived on time and sent a good amount of photos. 10/10 would recommend and book again.”

About: I have been helping my neighbors with their pets since I was a teenager and I've had two dogs of my own since I was 5. For the past 3 years, I've been working as a professional pet sitter and house sitter. I understand the importance of giving animals the love they deserve. I also make sure to follow their potty and feeding routines to keep them comfortable and happy. You can rely on me to take great care of your pets while you're away, providing you with peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide dedicated attention to your furry companions! I love my morning walks and being able to take a pup with me is a treat for me! Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I have lived with animals my whole life! It’s second nature. When I provide overnight stays at the client's home, I ensure that their pets receive attentive and comprehensive care. This includes feeding them according to their regular schedule, providing fresh water, and administering any necessary medications. I make it a priority to create a comfortable and safe environment for the pets, maintaining a clean living space and adhering to any specific instructions or routines provided by the owner. I am dedicated to giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. During drop-in visits, I focus on meeting the specific needs of the pets. This typically involves feeding them, refreshing their water, and taking them out for potty breaks. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding their feeding and bathroom routines, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Additionally, I am attentive to their emotional needs, offering cuddles and playtime. When it comes to dog walking, I prioritize the physical exercise and mental stimulation of the dogs. I tailor the walks to their individual energy levels and exercise requirements, providing them with an enjoyable and enriching experience. Safety is paramount, so I use appropriate leashes and ensure that the dogs are secure and under control at all times. I also pay attention to their behavior and monitor their well-being throughout the walk. Overall, my approach to pet care is personalized, attentive, and adaptable to the unique needs of each client and their beloved pets.

“This was Kevins first time with a walker and being away from me and Joie was super friendly and I communicated the whole time she even sent pics! I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. As a tutor and substitute teacher with a flexible schedule and summers off, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My flexible schedule as a tutor and substitute teacher allows me free time to do pet sitting and dog walking. I tend to walk dogs between 8am to 11am and then do my substitute teaching job between 11:45 to 3:15pm and after that will walk a dog as needed. During the summer time Im free all day for walks and for house sitting. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 7 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!

About: I have handled small animals and reptiles for 9 years, cats and dogs for 7, and horses and livestock for 6! I have a variety of experience with many different breeds with many different temperaments. There isn’t much I can’t handle! I currently only work part time at a local rescue/shelter so I have some time on my hands! I have my own car that I don’t mind getting some fur and dirt in, so if your pups are a fan of hikes or just want to go on an adventure that’s no problem for me! I take animal care and welfare very seriously, my babies get water and food dishes scrubbed daily, proper diet tailored to their needs, whatever exercise they require, and all the attention they could ever ask for! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping a clean, happy, healthy environment for them!
