I appreciate Shawn and his care for my pups. Having an older dog makes me a little nervous while away however Shawn communicates if there are any concerns, anything I need to know.

About: I have 3 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and a lifelong passion for animal care. Growing up on a farm and helping care for relatives’ pets gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. As a dog owner to 4 dogs of my own, I understand the importance of providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for every Pet Pet care will be my full-time focus, allowing me plenty of time to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. From feeding and walks to playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and medication administration if needed, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

I highly recommend Mackenzie!! She is very reliable and communicates with you before and during her stay. And sends lots of pictures. She stayed with my cat and took great care of him. And also fed my fish and kept house in nice condition.

We had an amazing experience with Addison! From the moment we left, communication was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and loved. It was obvious that she took the time to get to know their personalities and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, professional, and kind, and we never had to worry about a thing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working as a veterinary assistant along with my genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being. I have experience helping with feeding routines, exercise, medications, basic grooming, and providing calm, patient care for both energetic pets and older animals who may need extra attention. I understand how important consistency and trust are for pets, so I work hard to keep them comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m also very dependable, organized, and communicative. I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have a pretty busy schedule balancing college, workouts/practices, and everything else going on. Since I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant before, taking care of animals has become second nature to me. I usually build pet care into my mornings and evenings with feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning up, and just making sure they’re getting attention and affection throughout the day. During the week, I also make time for things like washing bedding or toys, restocking supplies, and keeping up with overall health and wellness. Even when life gets hectic with school, stunt, lifting, or work, I see pet care as something that helps me slow down a little and brings comfort and consistency to my routine. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home and in a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure the environment stays clean and stress-free for them. Because I have experience working as a veterinary assistant, I pay close attention to animal behavior and health, including monitoring for changes in mood, appetite, or energy levels. I am comfortable helping with basic grooming, administering some medications if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect the home by keeping everything tidy, following routines carefully, and sending updates or photos so owners feel reassured while they are away.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors—everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays while they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy dogs that need lots of activity and older dogs that need a slower, more gentle approach. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, crate training, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that’s extra playtime, sticking to a strict schedule, or just giving them attention and reassurance, I adjust to what works best for your pet. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I offer part-time availability with a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time. Pets are always supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of the family.

Hanna was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Cooper and Zola, this weekend! From the start, she was incredibly kind, sweet, and genuinely caring, you can tell she truly loves what she does. She walked them multiple times and kept us completely at ease with frequent, detailed updates and the best pictures. Her communication was top-notch, and it meant so much to know exactly how they were doing while we were away. Cooper and Zola were clearly happy, well cared for, and loved every minute with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hanna went above and beyond, and we will 100% be booking with her for all of our future needs. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾

Kimberly did an exceptional job. The house was clean when we got home and better yet our babies were happy and healthy! This was our first dealing with Kimberly, but it certainly will not be our last. Thank you for photos, your attention to medications, etc. You live up to all your wonderful reviews and then some!

Juliana was beyond great. She took care of my dog as if it were one of her own. My flight got canceled, and she happily took care of the dog for two more days. I don't know what I would have done without her help. I highly recommend her to others.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

About: Hello! My name is Courtney B. I’m 29 years old and can say I’ve been an animal lover for all those years! I’ve always been surrounded by animals growing up from cats & dogs to birds and lizards! My favorite thing about them all is their unique personalities. I’ve taken care of a countless number of animals and have helped family and friends with theirs when needed! I recently lost my favorite pup in the world and that was the most heartbreaking day ever!!! But I still have my cat to keep me company on the sad days. She is my little snuggle bug. Animals are my passion! I hope I am considered in taking care of your beautiful pups & kitties! I would love nothing more. I am currently working online from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I am very flexible. I live in a house with a big back yard, whether you need your pet to be taken out on a leash or I also have a doggy tie-out anchor which I can hook your pup up to to enjoy the outside on it’s own with being securely fastened. I have hooked up large breed-dogs to it and have had no problem!

About: I bring 7+ years of pet care experience, including working in a daycare setting where I cared for multiple dogs at once. I focus on safety, structure, fun playtime, and personalized attention to every during alone time. Making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and excited to see me. I am currently completing an externship for school, which takes place earlier in the day. I have open availability after 2pm on weekdays and flexible availability on weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care as needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow feeding schedules, leash guidelines, and any special instructions provided. I maintain clean spaces, supervise all interactions, and communicate updates regularly so pet parents feel confident and at ease.

About: I've grown up with dogs. I've personally had a cocker spaniel and a bloodhound. I have cared for and watched many other breeds through watching extended family's dogs while they're out of town. Unfortunately, I have experience with end-of-life care as well. My bloodhound had cancer and required special care in her last couple of months. I'm currently only working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! My schedule is flexible, and I have most weekends open. I currently live at home, so I would prefer to care for your dog at your home or on neighborhood walks. For the dogs I currently pet sit, I spend several of my hours lying on the ground, snuggling with them, chatting with them, and giving them treats. I am flexible and will follow the care plan you have set for your fur baby.
