About: I've had animals in my family since I was a kid so I am very familiar and comfortable around all sorts of animals. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. Such as Shia tzus, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepards, and German Shepards.I have experience giving a cat insulin and providing medicine day and night to both dogs and cats. I have taken care of puppies and older dogs. I have stayed the night at friend's houses when pet sitting and I have no fears of any kind of animal. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I do play pickleball about 5 times a week and workout but those are activities that can be moved around to best fit your schedule. Pickleball is only about 3 hours of my day so it won't interfere with any pet duties I may have. In my home we use a company called Halo to keep my dog in my lawn so I am familiar with electric fences its technology. I always stay outside when letting my dog out for the bathroom and know how to work a leash when talking them on walks. I clean litter boxes and pick up poop. I have experience taking care of pets in their home but since I have animals of my own and no fence, I will not be available to take care of pets in my home.

About: Hi! My name is Madison and I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! I have had dogs all my life and currently have two cats of my own, Willow and Daisy. From volunteering at local animal rescues to previous work at a doggy daycare center, I have experience with a broad range of temperaments and can quickly adapt to meet the needs of individual pets. As a pharmacy technician, I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medical needs such as insulin or medication. I work full time and am able to stop before and after work. My shifts are about 8 hours with a 1 hour break if an additional stop is needed during this time. I am able to adjust my out of work schedule in order to prioritize your pet! I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets in my care by maintaining a pet-friendly, secure environment. At my home, I ensure all potential hazards (like toxic plants or dangerous objects) are kept out of reach, and I provide designated areas for rest, play, and meals. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions regarding routines, diet, and preferences, while also ensuring their home is safe and comfortable for the pet. I aim to establish trust through clear communication, regular updates, and by respecting the pet's needs and boundaries, making sure they feel comfortable and at ease throughout my care.

“Very professional and my pup loves his walks with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a freshman in high school. I have 5 of my own dogs which is a lot of work but has helped grow my experience. I’m a college student working part time and majority of my classes are online. I’ve got a lot of time on my hands if you need me to check in or stay over. I make sure your dog is safe and happy while also following the list of instructions given by you. If you need me to stay over I can maintain a clean environment

About: My wife Hannah and I have had experience with reactive dogs, senior care, medications, daily walks, enrichment activities, and anything a pup could want or need for a happy and healthy life. Two person adult household, we both have full time jobs, afternoons, evenings and weekends can be dedicated to the needs of the dog or dogs. We have a fenced in large backyard and can provide whatever additional enrichment the animal might need from walks to mental stimulation or training activities.

About: I have always had cats and dogs in my own home. Life long animal lover. I will treat your pet like my own while you trust them in my care.

I am also strong enough to walk your larger dogs. I can also just sit down and give them all the love and pets they need.

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since the day I was born. I love to spend time with dogs by going for walks or car rides (if the owner allows it of course!) I have a cat and a dog of my own that I care for daily. All the usuals like feeding, letting outside, cleaning the litter box, but I also love to take my dog for walks and car rides or play with her in the back yard. I have so much fun playing with my cat and just giving him love! I’m usually very good about being able to let dogs out every couple of hours and love to hang out for a while to keep your pets company while you’re away!

“Karley agreed to Help with very short notice and followed the care directions based on text and photo instruction. She was on time for both her visits and sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommended”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss.

I’m looking forward to spending time with your animal. I love to be outside, provide snuggles, work on commands, and give treats. Your pet will have a great time in your absence and feel loved and appreciated. I don’t mind picking up dog poop as my biggest dog is 55 lbs and comes with a lot of up keep :) I have two cats as well and am comfortable with all felines! I am willing to accommodate needs beyond the 15 mile range for an additional fee of 58 cents per mile! Please contact me if you have questions about services, booking, or pricing!

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve owned and cared for both small and large breeds, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I spent years volunteering with All Breed Rescue & Training in Colorado, where I gained experience supporting rescued dogs. For a year, I traveled across the country providing in-home pet care through TrustedHousesitters, staying with pets in exchange for room and board. This allowed me to care for dogs in many different homes, routines, and regions—learning how important consistency, communication, and trust are when owners are away. Today, I share my home with my own small dog, so I understand firsthand how much your pet means to you. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, companionship, or just a calm and reliable presence, I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I currently work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available for drop in visits and walks in the middle of the day and check in on your baby. I treat every dog like my own but also respect every dog's individual needs. Whatever approach or structure is needed to make your pet happy, I am happy to follow.
