About: Hi there! My name is Lydia, I am an online graduate student currently am working from home. I am a HUGE animal fan and grew up with just about every pet you can imagine! My favorite is dogs, they just have so much love and energy to give and I give it right back! I love hiking, exploring and taking long walks and if I can bring a four legged friend with me, all the better! I have been pet sitting/walking for as long as I can remember. I am educated on animal CPR and have close vet friends who nerd out on dog psychology/training with me. I am certified in K9 military TCCC which teaches life saving medical intervention during K9 emergencies. I am completely available to you and your four legged family member. I run a well managed pet sitting service, we will have a sit down on likes/dislikes of your friend, habits and even special areas that may need attention while in my care. If I am so lucky as to have the opportunity to check in/pet sit your four legged family member, I would love to send you updates and pictures of how much fun we are having (I love photographing animals, they are always so candid!)! If we happen to get a little dirty, I promise to bring your pooch back squeaky clean, and would also bathe if asked to add to our time too! I do have a training background so maybe we can teach the pup a new trick for when you get home! I do hope you reach out if you feel I am the right fit for looking after your favorite family member, I would love to answer any questions you may have as well! I also do pet photography, so let me know if you are interested in that, it is so much fun and so rewarding to sent prints to owners! I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule to take my work anywhere and attend to your pups whenever you need! Routines are the best for our furry friends so sticking to what they know is what I do best. I easily adapt to your pets needs to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I care greatly for the pets I watch and easily get attached to them as if they were my own! When looking after clients pets, I stick to their normal routines and have in depth conversations with the owners on habits, schedules, playtimes etc so that we can keep at a homeostasis until their humans come back home!

About: I’ve had cats for the last five years and have the most experience with them. I’m an animal lover and can’t wait to give your babies all the loving while you enjoy your time away. Happy to also care for small to medium sized dogs. I currently work part time so I have a ton of flexibility with my schedule to meet the needs you have for your babies. Can make mornings or evenings work any day of the week. Because I live in an apartment, pets cannot come to my home, but I can do both drop in visits or stay longer term in your home based on your needs.

About: I have three dachshunds myself. We love outdoor adventures, frozen carrots, and lots of burrow cuddles. I consider myself a pro at keeping my dog leashes untangled.🤣 Love long walks, cuddles and play time! Tuesdays after 11am, Thursdays when not in lab, after 11am. My work schedule is flexible as I work 3 12’s through the week. Let me know what works for you! I do no phone time on walks and at dog parks, keeping my undivided attention on my pups at all times 🫶🏽 Wipes of the paws and bottoms after walks and park time.

About: Hi! My name is Celeste, and caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am. As a nursing student, I’ve dedicated my life to compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail — and that same love extends to animals. I understand that pets aren’t “just pets” — they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I will treat your fur baby like my own. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive to routines, medications, and special needs if needed. I’m engaged and live a calm, stable lifestyle. I don’t party, and I take safety very seriously. Your pet will be in a peaceful, loving environment with someone who truly enjoys their company. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind — lots of updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the love, cuddles, and care they deserve 🐶💛 Iam a student going for nursing school , I have online classes but some are in person which leaves me 4 hours a day gone from home Monday-Wednesday My pets at home are loved very much and spoiled ! I make sure my animals are taken care of everyday whether that be from cage cleaning to potty breaks and being fed and having plenty of water as for my care I will provide the same for your baby as well. When it comes to animals I take very much caring for they have always been very close in my heart since a kid animals are innocent and deserve the best lives! I’m also experienced in the veterinary field and have been working in the field for some years now.

About: I have had a dog all my life so I have plently of experience with them. I miss my dog so let me hang out with yours! I work a full-time corporate job, but my evenings and weekends are pretty open. I also have experience house-sitting, so I’m happy to help with drop-ins, dog walks on the weekends, or house-sitting during the week or on weekends. I have a flexible schedule outside of work and would love to help care for your pets! I enjoy playing with your pets and giving them all the attention they want! I don't mind taking them on a walk or playing fetch. Whichever the pet wants, the pet gets.

About: Let me help cross a worry off your list. I am dependable, responsible and I love dogs! I am a go to resource for all of my friends, family and coworker’s pets. Available for a quick drop in, walks or longer sittings as needed. I am available mostly evenings and weekends. I do have some flexibility for quick lunch time drop ins on days that I am working remote. As a renter I do not offer boarding services. I find most pets are more comfortable in their own space as well. I will respect your space and always leave it better than I found it.

About: I have taken care of my brother's dog over the last four years. I help walk him, feed him, let him out for potty breaks, and play with him. Nights and weekends. Also, every other week, if my kids are not allowed to come with me to help. If they are allowed, then nights and weekends every week. I have a fenced yard at my home in the back yard. I can also take the dog to a dog park nearby if allowed, as well as walk around my neighborhood. At the client's home, I will follow required instructions from the owner.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have learned so much because of that. I had three Miniature Schnauzers with my family, and now I have two (big) dogs of my own! I have been through every stage with all of my pups and made sure they were getting all the support and care they needed. I have always been able to build connections with dogs right away, just because of how passionate I am about animals. I will treat your furbabies as my own and make sure they get the best care possible. I am currently not working, so I have lots of time to take care of your pups! I am available Mon - Thursday from 6 am to 3 pm. This is my main focus, so I can make sure I am doing everything I can to support your furbabies! I have two big dogs who are 1 and 8 years old, and I spend most of my time with them. They are such cuddle puppies, which I absolutely love, but I also love playing with them as much as I am able to. I am definitely more of a homebody and am not able to do a lot of physical activity, but I am always willing to be good company and take care of them the best I can.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I've cared for dogs requiring administration meds, diabetes, skin and eye conditions. I am gentle, caring and firm when necessary. I love taking walks with them and engaging with them for playtime. A happy dog is a healthy dog. I am currently working remotely and have time during the day to monitor and care for your pet in their own home environment and surroundings. I would prefer caring for your pet in your home, a place that is familiar to them that would avoid the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place. I would discuss their routine with the client to ensure the same continuity of care they would be given if the client was at home.

About: I’ve taken care of different types of animals since I was a child. (I’m 57) My friends know how much love I have for animals, and often the first person my friends think about when they need someone to take care of their pets. I have extensive experience with senior and special needs animals who require unique care. I enjoy playing and walking with dogs and letting them experience their neighborhood surroundings and smells. Cats are fairly self sufficient, but the superior care I provide will give them plenty of attention and love. I am honored to be entrusted with the care of such an important part of the family as your pets. Your fur babies are safe with me. I promise to deliver superior care to meet your specific needs. I also promise to take care of your pet as I would my own. I have a little dog myself. Her name is Evie. She gets along with everyone. She’s seven and part Chihuahua Patterdale Terrier. I bring her with me most of the time, but will accommodate your needs. She doesn’t have to come, but I’d like it if she can. I’m a retired teacher so there is plenty time for me to spend with grandkids and my own pets. I am often out and about, so caring for your fur baby can be easily incorporated into to my day. I’m also available for overnight, especially with babies that are apprehensive, nervous or special needs. My entire time will be devoted to making your pet happy. Your pet’s needs take priority. It is genuinely fun for me to spend time with animals outside my own home. I love all animals and will work with you to design the perfect care routine specific to your pet’s needs.

“I can’t recommend Tanna highly enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. From the start, communication was clear, friendly, and consistent. She provided updates, photos, that gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. My dogs clearly felt comfortable and well-loved in her care. Tanna followed all instructions carefully and went above and beyond by giving extra playtime and attention. It’s obvious she truly cares about animals and treat them like family. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring, Tanna is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! --- Let me know if you'd like it to be more casual, humorous, or personalized with specific details.”
