About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was around 12 years old! Friends and family have relied on and trusted me to walk, feed and play with their pets! I am home full time so I’ll always be ready and available for any and all of your pets needs! Plenty of walks and lots of play and attention I have a fenced in yard and a sweet dog of my own who is super playful and loves to make new friends! He will keep your fur babies company :)

About: Looking for someone who will give your dog more than just a quick walk around the block? Hi, my name is Erin, and I am a dog mom to a german shepard mix named Max! I'm an active, reliable dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and giving them the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I've been a dog owner for 5 years and have spent more than 15 years around dogs of all sizes. Over that time, I've developed a genuine love for dogs and a strong appreciation for how different every dog's personality, energy level, and needs can be. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love the opportunity to give them the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. I'm also a runner who trains for races year-round, so I genuinely enjoy being active. If your dog is happiest after a longer walk or has plenty of energy to burn, we're likely to be a great match. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniffing or a longer, more active walk, I’ll tailor the experience to their individual needs. I understand that your dog is family, and I believe they should be treated with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions so their time with me feels comfortable and familiar. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether you need a reliable walking buddy, someone to give your pup some extra attention during the day, or simply a caring person you can trust, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Reliable evening & weekend pet care for busy local families. As I transition into pet care, I look forward to gradually expanding my availability for mid-day walks and visits. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walking, medications, bathroom breaks, crates, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits, so you know your pet is happy and safe.

About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 4 year old golden who I have personally trained, and a 1.5 year old who I work with every day. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups who may need extra walks. I have a friendly golden retriever who is 4 years old. She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. Hazel is 1.5 years old and still has crazy puppy energy. Neither walk without a treat bag in hand to keep training a daily activity.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life even before I was born. Have had mostly cats, but have a strong love and connection to all animals. I work at a local restaurant in the evening but I can be flexible sometimes. I'm also looking for a way give back to the community and work with animals at the same time. My cats and I are like a pride. They're very social with me and visitors. And when I eat the often eat when we do as well to discourage begging. I have friends with service dogs and animals, so I familiar with different needs for different animals and different species.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. When it comes to dogs, I've had big dogs, small dogs, and even once took care of 3 dogs for ½ weeks (specifically 3 huskies for ½ weeks). As for cats, they've been a part of my life since I was 3 years old. I've raised cats from kittens to super seniors and even helped treat their ailments throughout the years. I'm currently a full time online student, so I spend most of my time at home working. This leaves me with a lot of free time during the week and weekend. I try to spend as much time as possible with my pets while home and play with them as well. I also make sure to pay attention to their health and behavior as well and do research on things that are abnormal.

About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.

“Elizabeth was the perfect house sitter and companion for our dog, Pringles! Her communication and service were superb. We will definitely invite her back!”

About: I have had animals of my own since I can remember. I worked at a shelter (mainly bigger breeds - but all were welcomed) for 3 years. I love working with and helping all animals. I currently only do online schooling so any and all free time I have, I would love to spend it with your beautiful fur babies! I can train your pup as needed and make sure they receive the best possible care. I can also do any bathing that should need done. For the kitties, I will provide any care they may need, to include cleaning out litter boxes, washing food/water containers, feeding, playing with them and nail clipping if needed!

“Shortly before leaving for a two week international trip I was left trying to find a long term, overnight sitter on short notice for my dog. Aubry was quick to respond to my request and was very open with how long she would have to leave my dog to attend classes or walk another dog. Even so she left Lucy-Mae for no more than a few hours at a time. She kept me updated and even gave Lucy-Mae a bath during her sit. I feel a huge weight had been lifted knowing someone like Aubry is available to help care for my spoiled little girl and will absolutely be booking her for future overnights or random walks I need covered.”

Emily S.

“She was very accommodating and helpful. Dogs were at ease with her and weren't stressed when I got home. Would book again. Definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I currently have dogs of my own, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and attention that goes into caring for them. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels and routines, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time and typically go in around 9 am, which gives me the flexibility to help with pets before work when needed, including morning walks, feeding, or drop in visits. Most my evenings after work I am free and available to spend time with pets, and I generally have good availability on weekends as well. I’m flexible and happy to work with each owners schedule and their pets routine, whether that means an early morning visit or weekend sitting. I have a fully fenced-in back yard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have amazing dogs who are friendly and who love to play and are always excited to have company. I also understand every dog is different, though, so I am happy to follow your pets specific routine and comfort level. If your dog needs personal space, prefers to be separated from other dogs, or is crate trained, I am also completely comfortable crating your dog when needed and making sure they have a safe, comfortable environment throughout their stay.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am caring, patient, and responsible. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need. I am happy to follow each pet’s routine, provide extra attention, and give updates to pet parents while they are away. I am also willing to work with puppies who are learning routines and basic training, as well as provide gentle, patient care for senior pets. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a structured weekly routine that allows me to balance school, work, and my personal responsibilities. I can plan pet care around my schedule and make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I am responsible, dependable, and willing to communicate with pet owners to make sure their pets are well cared for while they are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home\. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other special needs\.

About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.
