About: I have a three year old GSD of my own and she is quite the load, I have been trusted to take care of other’s pets while they have been gone when I was younger and since has inspired this small hobby! I am currently working part time and a second year college student, but I have flexibility with my schedule and would love to take care of your pet! I have a fenced yard with one 3 year old GSD, we love to go to dog parks, walks, and play with the sprinkler on hot summer days!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own Beagle, who is friendly, well-socialized, and accustomed to living with people. Through daily walks, feeding, training reinforcement, grooming, and routine health care, I’ve learned how to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for dogs. My home is a clean, smoke-free single-family house with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every guest receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, quiet naps, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, so my background is closely connected to health, medications, biology, and careful observation. My training has made me very attentive to details such as changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, hydration, and daily routine, and I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules when needed. This scientific background naturally carries over into how I care for pets—I tend to notice small changes, keep routines consistent, and take safety and wellbeing seriously. I have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own friendly Beagle and provide regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I am available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard that I specifically designed with my dog in mind. I wanted him to have a safe and comfortable outdoor space for potty breaks, playtime, exploring, and relaxing, so the backyard was planned to be both secure and easy for dogs to enjoy under supervision. I understand how important routine and a comfortable environment are, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates, photos, and videos. Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, energy level, personality, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I prefer dogs that are friendly with other dogs since I have a male Beagle at home. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly, well-socialized Beagle, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining a consistent routine. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like a member of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos.

About: Hi, there, thanks for taking a minute to consider me for your pet care! I have lots of experience working with cats and dogs absolutely adore them! I have worked at a dog and cat kennel for years caring for dogs of every size, age and breed, including cuddling, walking, feeding, health checks, and more! I have a cat of my own now that I adopted, and have had a King Charles Cavalier and a Lab. Ready to give loving care and attention and a fun time to your dog or cat. I work part-time in my own business, so I am available most days of the week, with reasonable notice. I am happy to stay at your home on the weekends or drop by for services including feeding, walking, health checks, etc., as needed. I have a wonderful adopted stray cat, but I would not be bringing him to your home. I will adhere strictly to the routines and environment you have set up in your home, and will respect all of your house rules and instructions for your pet's care.

“Taylor is wonderful. Reports back after her visit and keeps you updated on how the visit went. Highly recommend 👍”

“Andrea did a great job pet sitting for our cat Mickey! We were out of the country for several days for a family wedding. She sent me daily messages letting me know he was fed and all was well. When we got home, the kitchen counter where his food was prepared was clean and neat and so was Mickey's eating area in the garage. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was well cared for while we were gone. We wouldn't hesitate at all to utilize Andrea's pet sitting services again. She was terrific!!😊”

About: I live on a farm in Galt. I've been around and owned animals my whole life and enjoy caring for animals. I am happy to meet you before scheduling so I can meet your fur babies and get acquainted for your comfort. I have a very flexible schedule so looking to doing something I enjoy by providing care in your home for your fur babies and at your convenience I am happy to accommodate caring for your pet as you would or based on the needs of the pet weather it be walking, cuddling, playing

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
