“Emilie's visit with Lady and Ranger was excellent! Both pups took a liking to her, I don't think Ranger left her side the whole time! Having a small dog as well, Emilie was very familiar with Lady's behaviors. Both dogs enjoyed her presence and I'd be happy if she continued to watch them.”

About: Hi I am Brandon, I have had many pets ranging from bunny, fish, dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and hamster. I enjoy sitting there and spending time with animals, be able to observe them and always smile with them. I like to make the animals feel that they can close and comfortable with me, as thats a main goal of mine. I see most animals as a fun and joyful thing, they are always able to play and thats what I like to do is play alongside then. I am currently in school and play volleyball at my college, I will find time to be with your pets since I find myself with a-lot of free-time. In order for me to care for my pets and others, I show that i am there and always happy to see them and play with them. Besides being able to feed them I will enjoy more to play with them and run around. I am able to even care for them such as bathing and etc.

About: As a proud Pomeranian owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Caring for my own dog has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming needs, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including energetic puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each stay or visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and last-minute dog walks or drop-in visits when needed. As a pet parent to my own Pomeranian, I understand how important it is for pets to receive consistent care, exercise, and attention throughout the day. During drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, fresh water, feeding, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention. For dog walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Because I work remotely, I am responsive, dependable, and able to communicate regularly with pet parents. I’ll send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and love all animals, my dad had a dog business and we had all kinds of pets at home! Though I can't have a pet in my apartment, I enjoy caring for others' furry friends. I offer reliable dog walking, in-home check-ins, and pet sitting for small to medium dogs and cats, treating each pet like my own! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home and set my own schedule.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience growing up on a ranch, where I've cared for a wide variety of pets. This background has equipped me with valuable skills in handling different animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for senior pets, or tending to unique species, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion to ensure the highest level of care for every furry friend. My hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal behavior allow me to tailor my services to meet the specific requirements of each pet, setting me apart as a reliable and dedicated caregiver. I’m a college student living on campus hundreds of miles away from home and my own fur babies. Outside of school I have lots of free time and would love to spend it doing something I love and enjoy. For in-house pet care services, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets in their familiar environment. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering any necessary medications, engaging in playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe environment. I also offer companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety while their owners are away. Additionally, I can perform basic grooming tasks such as brushing and nail trimming if needed. Throughout the pet care process, I maintain clear communication with the pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns promptly.

About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone they trust, so I focus on providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic care, puppy energy, and senior dog patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of attention and affection I give every pet. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency, responsibility, and structure. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and check-ins to ensure each pet receives timely and attentive care. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly bookings, I make sure I’m fully available and present for every pet I care for. I also plan my week in advance to accommodate pet sitting requests, making sure I have enough time and flexibility to give each animal proper attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into my routine rather than feeling like a task. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines to ensure the pet feels comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean, organized, and exactly as I found it while prioritizing the pet’s well-being and routine. In my care, pets receive plenty of attention, gentle interaction, playtime, and monitoring to ensure they are happy, safe, and stress free at all times. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and communicate updates so pet parents feel confident and reassured.
