About: I’ve cared for pets of every kind since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs and even cats who need extra patience and gentle care. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their owner is away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2 PM. I love spending quality time walking, playing, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. Your pet will have a safe and social environment while you’re away. I can easily crate dogs if needed and always follow your routines to make them feel comfortable and at home.

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic walking Rudy and looking after our pets while we were away on vacation! She was incredibly attentive and gave detailed updates on how Rudy was doing. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a dog-walker.”

“Sam was great! She was flexible with the walk times on Saturday so we could meet beforehand, and I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She followed my instructions, sent pictures, and kept me updated throughout the weekend. She was easy to communicate with, and I’d definitely book her again!”

And as a passionate animal lover, I understand that your pet isn’t *just a pet*, they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, my goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have and I hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently working part-time so i have plenty of availability. Just let me know when pet care is needed and we’ll see what we can do I don’t offer boarding so your pets won’t be coming to my home.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve done my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid, and I’ve always been the person who notices the animals before anything else. Growing up, I was the kid who would walk into someone’s home and greet their pets before I even said hello to the people. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have never been able to pass by an animal in need without wanting to help. That lifelong passion eventually became a career. I have 11 years of professional veterinary experience, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their behavior, needs, routines, and individual personalities. I’m also knowledgeable about many different species, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals. More Than a Sitter With my veterinary background and lifelong experience around animals, I bring a level of awareness and attentiveness that I believe makes a real difference. I’m observant, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every animal entrusted to my care. Most importantly, I treat your pets like individuals—not just another booking. When you’re away, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your pets are being loved, cared for, and understood. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your babies and give them the kind of care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule, and am willing to work with you. As of the moment, I am mostly free and able to work any day of the week. Your Pet, Your Rules ❤️ I understand that every pet—and every pet parent—is different. You know your baby best, and I will respectfully follow your instructions, routines, preferences, and expectations for their care. Whether your pet needs a specific feeding schedule, extra patience, medication, a certain walking routine, or simply lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure their care is tailored to them. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet. I want them to have such a positive experience that their time away from you feels more like a vacation than a separation.

About: Bottom line is, I will do everything possible to make your pet safe, comfortable and happy in your home or mine. I understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one in someone else's hands. I suffer those same feeling and I have known and trust my caretaker 100 percent! I have owned, raised and cared for dogs my entire life. I've experienced the various needs, habits and personalities of our four-legged friends through the years. While I love spending time with puppies, I also enjoy taking care of adult dogs or dogs that require special attention. My most valuable qualification for taking care of your pet is that I absolutely Love and respect our four legged children. You can trust me to always make your pets comfort my first priority when I am with them. I am self-employed and can adjust my working hours to suit your needs. I will also be retiring soon and will have more available hours to care for your pet. I have a fenced in back yard and a doggie door (that can be closed when needed). I also do my best to get to know each individual pet and their requirements.

“Darcy just adores Ben! He is caring and firm. Even my hyper lab listens to him and follows his directions. She loves seeing him and spending time with Ben.”

“Janie made me feel at ease while on my vacation. She walked and played fetch with my dogs. I have two very large German shepherds (very friendly) and she was not intimidated and handled them like a pro. She also checked in on my other animals even though she didn't have too.”

About: I been around dogs and cats my whole life. I been housesitting for family and friends for the last 5-6years. My grandmother’s pets are on a strict schedule, and diet therefore I understand strict diet. I’ve worked on a farm so I have experience with farm animals, small pets, and some exotic animals. In the last two years, I’ve had two sets of puppies so I know what it takes to care of puppies. My Roxy was 13 year old when we had to put her down from old age, so I know what it takes to care for a senior dog. I’m currently not working, therefore I have plenty of time to cuddle, play and care with your pets. I can send pictures and/or videos thought your vacation for peace of mind! I like taking care of pets in their own house to make them feel as safe as possible. I will follow any rules or instructions you have for your house and pets.

About: I have two dogs of my own that have taught me so much. Both of mine have reactive tendencies, so I am no stranger to dogs that need a little extra patience. I have spent many hours in training with my pups, so if you’re looking for someone to help reinforce some skills at home, I can do that! One of my dogs is also epileptic, so I have experience with complex medical needs as well. I have spent the past few months volunteering at a local dog shelter twice a week and I have genuinely loved spending time with the dogs and getting to know them and watch them blossom and find furever homes. I’m looking forward to spending even more time with some incredible furry friends! I currently do not work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m open to one time sits/walks or something recurring! Overnights are not currently an option for me as I have my own pups to care for. I am looking for jobs at your home (or out an about); I do not offer in-my-home care at this time. But I can come over and spend time with your pet(s) while you’re at work or on date-night, stop in for walks or feeds/potty breaks, or take your dog on an outing like a hike or a trip to downtown! I’m flexible and open to whatever you and your pet need.

About: I have taken care of my family, friends and neighbor's animals since I was in middle school. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bearded dragons, fish and birds. I am currently in college and can take care of your pet during my breaks (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer), as well as, on the weekends. I will follow the instructions you provide for care of your pet very closely and will observe and care for your pet to insure his/her wellbeing.
