About: I've care for my childhood dog since he was a puppy and all the way till his passing of old age. I have two sister's who all have doggies and they rely on me to care for them when needed. I know the importance of maintaining routine, identifying any triggers they might have, and being alert for any situation. I have a dog of my own, and through training him. i have learned a lot more then i knew before. But of course , you never truly stop learning. I'm excited to get to know each and every pet that i get the chance to meet. I work part time. I'm available 6 am to 10:30 am all days. Weekdays it varies. Some days I'm free until 4 pm. Other days I'm free 5pm till 10 pm. That is why i need a day in advance to know. I live alone with my dog, Zeus. he is super friendly with all dogs but i also have an extra bed room that is not used. whatever it is that you need me to do, i will do it.

About: I’m a dog lover who is mature and trustworthy. I have owned dogs for most of my life and also enjoy being around them. I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote all my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.

“Scott was awesome. So grateful that he stopped in to care for my dogs. He was hired for 4 days. Had very good communication. Took photos every day. My dogs looked very happy and well cared for.”

“We had great experience with Stephanie. She’s super responsible and genuinely caring to our cat Coffee. She paid attention to all the details and kept us updated regularly, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. We felt completely reassured knowing our cat was in good hands.”

“Cerra did an amazing job! She was very accommodating last minute and was willing to come meet Abby before so she could see her beforehand. Abby is very cautious of people she doesn’t know but warms up fast and Cerra did a great job interacting with her. I would recommend her to others and book again if ever needed :)”

About: I have experience with dogs of various breeds and ages ranging, who are most often from shelters or rescues. While I have 2 dogs of my own (shelter & foster), I have 5 years of experience fostering dogs who come directly from their rescue location who often need adjustment/bonding time, medical care & basic training (potty, crate, walking, etc.). The fosters I have cared for range from ages 3mo-8 years, and I am comfortable with senior care and rd ministering medication. I have experience with dogs who are more reactive. My work schedule allows me to be available during the week in the early morning or evening. During the weekends I am able to fill in afternoon slots for walks or a home visit! I have raised dogs with both fenced in and partially fenced in yards. Their off-leash time in the yard required supervision and thorough training to keep them engaged in staying in the yard. I walk my dogs on a leash and crate them when I leave the house.
About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals since I was a little kid. From reptiles to furry friends. I currently have 3 cats & 1 dog and they’re my precious babies. Ever since I was a little kid, I always knew what I wanted to be when I was older. A vet tech. My love and passion for animals has always been there, and now I’m getting my journey started to make my dream come true 🐾💕 I work at a middle school as an ASD Para educator. I’m currently on summer break, so I’m free most days! Starting on August 26th I go back. But you know working at a school I get some days off (due to holidays and whatnot) and half days. I can work around my work schedule to ensure your babies are taken care of :) I will ensure the safety of the animals no matter how the clients home is. By that I mostly mean if their yard is fenced and they have dogs. I will do whatever the client asks to ensure trust and comfortability of the client and the pets
About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have my own Bernese Mountain Dog, Bear, so I’m very comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve helped care for pets of friends, family, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I’m very patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I now also have two cats. I work during the day, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and can adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling both calm and high-energy dogs, and I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind!

About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a specialty hospital, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and can handle medications, special diets, and extra attention with confidence. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. My schedule is consistent, and I work five days a week, which means I’m available for drop-in visits on weekends and dog walking on weekdays after 4 PM. This allows me to provide reliable evening walks during the week and more flexible, attentive care on weekends when I have additional availability. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in a specialty hospital, I’m held to high professional and ethical standards every day. Pet owners trust me with their animals’ health and safety in a clinical setting, and I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to detail into pet sitting. I’m trained to handle emergencies, follow care instructions precisely, and recognize when something isn’t right. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable, reliable, and compassionate hands.
“We highly recommend working with Breanna ! We feel so fortunate to have had Breanna care for our dog while we were on vacation . You can clearly tell she has a knack with animals and they are drawn to her. Breanna was so great about including the photo when doing the check-in with our dog. We hope we are lucky enough that Breanna is available when we vacation again!”
