About: I have been a lover of dogs and cats since a little girl. I am now a nurse with two furry friends of my own. This combination allows me to provide care and compassion as well as medical knowledge to meet your furry friends needs. I am a nurse prn on occasional weekends and a mom 24/7. I know how busy life can get and I am here to fill in the gaps to care for your pet’s needs when you are away. Speaking of busy I make being a mom my number one priority so at this time I will only be able to accept task that will allow me to bring my baby along. While I will be providing all care, I do see this as a great way to teach my baby a love for animals as well as lending a helping hand to others. All pets treated equally! I am here to love and care for your furry family members like they are my own while you are away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

About: Hey! Thanks for checking out my profile! I love walking, in fact, I have a 5k event I am participating in at the end of this month. Know that I average, per 30 minute walk, 1 mile. If we walk for 60 minutes your dog will have completed 2 miles. Feel free to schedule last minute! I prefer to do walks when it isn’t super hot outside. I do love working out either in the morning or late afternoon. Call if you’re going on a cruise or other vacation! Pets who stay over will need a kennel. Dogs are allowed in a certain part of our home and are taken out for walks during the day as to avoid built up energy. :)

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I work from home and am looking to walk some dogs in the area to help get myself more active, as well as help out families who may need additional help with their furry four legged family members! I currently have a 10 year old GSD and a 5 year old Chocolate Lab. I also assist my daughter with her in-home pet care services when needed. We also have a 5 year old cat and chickens! I currently work from home and am available to help walk dogs in 30 minute increments throughout the day. I have very big dogs, but also have experience with small dogs as well. My dogs are my family and they make me so incredibly happy. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. Getting more exercise will help me and your pup!

“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”

About: Since welcoming my first dog at the age of ten, caring for fur babies has been a constant alongside raising my own children. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Currently, I have two dogs—a Boston Terrier and a Pit Bull mix. In the 80s and 90s, I also cared for a Rottweiler and a Boxer/Rottweiler mix, giving me lifelong experience with both small and large breeds. As a retired teacher who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide attentive care for your pets while you’re at work or away on vacation. I do have a military ID so if you need me at Scott AFB, no problem! While I do not have a fenced yard and am unable to board pets in my home, I am happy to offer dog walks, drop-in visits at your home, medication administration, and plenty of kisses, hugs, cuddles, and playtime.

“If I could give more than five stars I would! What a great sitter! Dependable, available, and so professional. Emily is my go-to. And my doggies found a new favorite person ❤️”

About: Ever since a young age, I’ve always wanted to take care of others/animals. I left human medicine in 2020, and went into veterinary medicine. I never looked back! The past 5 years, I’ve worked as a vet tech for a local humane society and a local animal Emergency Room. I learned so much!! From animal education, to reading body language as a second instinct, to caring for birds and even wildlife. I have experience in caring for almost every companion you could think of. I’m educated in medical cases and disabled pets as well. I also have experience in dealing with reactive dogs. My own dog is reactive. He has taught me so much over the past 3 years together. They are still a dog and deserve to be a dog, we just have to help them rewire their brain. I have learned the patience and I’ve seen the rewards🥹 My family sees a major difference in my dog since adopting him. Due to some health issues over the past 1.5 years, I’m was unable to perform my job I loved so much. I couldn’t sit at home, and was recommended Rover. I can still do what I love, but it’s a little easier on me. My schedule is pretty flexible! As I mentioned, I do have a reactive dog. He is not “agressive”! A lot of the time people get “fear” mixed up with “anger”. I keep him crated when I’m not home. I have a large back yard, but is not fenced in yet. I take my dog out via leash all day, every day. I never leave my own pet, let alone someone else’s, outside unattended! I also have cat but I have many rooms that I have set up, so if needed she will be put in her cat room. If your pets don’t do okay with cats or you aren’t sure how they would be, I will make sure she is put up safely. I used to have a pitbull that was no cat friendly and we existed for years together🥰

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of newborn puppies and kittens since I was 6 years old. We have always had a family dog or two and this really sparked my love for all things animals, especially dogs! My dogs are like family and I will treat yours as such! ❤️ I am a stay at home mom by day, but have always worked part time jobs when I have free time. Early morning and evenings are for playtime with your four legged family members! Any pets in my care will get all the live! 10-15 of walk/playtime or more if requested! I will make sure your pets are happy and content before I leave.

“Starr was an awesome dog helper this past month. She was super nice and easy to work with. She’s an excellent communicator and it was so great to be able to depend on her for my older dog and and my puppy. Thank you Starr! Good luck on your move!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for pups from their playful puppy stages all the way through their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a calming presence, or gentle senior support, I’ve got them covered. I work night shift, which means my days are completely free for pet care. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, dropins, and giving your pet lots of attention. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe right away. I keep their routine consistent, give lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks to keep them relaxed and happy.

About: In 22 years, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, horses, hedgehogs, etc, etc. I love all creatures of any shape, size, or temperament. I will adapt to your pets’ personality and boundaries and discover how to make them feel the most loved! I am taking college classes online, which means I entirely make my own schedule! Day or night, I will make time to love and care for your pet. I work 2 days a week and can often move my shifts around with advance notice. I always let the animal come to me first. The most important thing is to let them know that they can trust me, so that I can learn more about what they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I follow the lead of the pet, whether it be fast-paced walking, stopping to sniff every tree, or relaxing on the couch for an overnight stay. I’m very attentive to an animal’s communication and would love to build a trusting relationship with your pet.

About: I have been trained on dog and cat CPR, I have a flexible schedule and love dogs! I have owned and cared for dogs for with high engery, low energy, nervous energy and even aggressive energy. I am a disabled USAF veteran with a lot time on my hands that gives me a flexible schedule to be able to care for any pets needs. I have Military Base Access I have three cats: between cuddles, ensuring they have a healthy diet, yearly checks up and safe outdoors time (my cats all have harnesses and leashes) my cats have a happy life. One of my cats has high anxiety and shy. I have learned how to interact with her where she feels safe and will nap with me.

About: My name is Emily and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I grew up around dogs and now have two cats. I have regularly sat for friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. and have plenty of experience with drop-in visits, walks, and other care tasks. For drop-in visits, I am happy to feed, play with, clean-up after, and any other care that might be needed! For dog-walking, I can handle dogs that are pullers, so don't worry about that! I love all dogs: small dogs, large dogs, the hyper ones, and the shy ones. I thought dog walking would be a great way to fill my time, get outside, and get some exercise. When walking dogs, I'm willing to go on more rigorous hikes or do simple neighborhood walks and anything in between. I am currently working part-time while going to school online, so I have extra hours in my day to take care of your furry friends! I am generally available between 6:30am-7:30am and 2pm-7pm for drop-ins or walking on weekdays and more available on weekends. When doing drop-ins, I will make sure that your pet is safe and happy, ensuring they have not damaged or interfered with anything that could put them in harm's way. As a cat owner, I am familiar with pets that like to mess with things they are not supposed to!
