About: I have been around dogs my entire life, I ALWAYS give 110% when taking care of someone’s fur children! Pets are an important part of our lives! I have puppy training experience and love meeting and playing with new puppies! My own dog is diabetic and requires daily injections so I am very comfortable caring for senior and medically complex dogs. Open communication is important to me so we both know what to expect and I love sharing my time with your pets and sending photos so you know how much fun we are having! I have full time availability Monday through Friday and am available on the weekends as needed. I am excited to spend a lot of time throughout the week with pets! My chocolate Labrador retriever Ollie was diabetic. He received 26mL of insulin 2x a day along in the scruff of his neck with his food needing to be watered down due to it being a choking hazard. I would take care of ANY pet like I took care of him. I will stop in to check on your pets, play with them to get their energy out, snuggle with them, and make sure they have everything they need including walks, food, water, treats, play time, and medication.

About: I’ve had pets of my own and have helped care for dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. While I’m not a full-time professional, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love being around animals. I currently live with a dog and grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments and routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m always attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I do my best to make their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Right now, my full-time job doesn’t start until September, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available during weekdays, weeknights, and weekends, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m happy to help with walks, check-ins, feedings, or just keeping your pet company when you need an extra hand. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being, whether I’m in your home or mine. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable, calm, and cared for. I’m respectful of your home, reliable with routines, and committed to keeping your pet happy and safe while you're away.

“Breana was accommodating and very sweet with my pups!”


About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies, including fostering a cat for a friend for a few months while she was away. I am a fairly active person, so I like to go on long walks and play with very energetic animals, but I can also appreciate those who just like company or want their own space. Learning the habits, needs, and quirks of each animal is my favorite part of the job, so I can be sure your animal will get the exact kind of care they need to be happy while you’re away😊 I currently have an open schedule so I will have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur children! The only days that are busy for me are Sundays, but I will still have some time available. I will be going back to work after the new year and will be working second shift, so will have the majority of the day available then as well! I like to stick to the routines that your animals are already used to following as to reduce anxiety as much as possible while you’re away! I definitely think it’s important to give extra love and attention to show that I am a friend and am there to take care of them.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12. I not only have had 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own, but have also been caring for the animals of my family friends and relatives. I have been a drop-in sitter, dog walker, overnight sitter, and helped with bath time. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as I had both growing up and dog sat a 6 week old puppy who is now 3 (whom I still care for)! I look forward to helping you! I am a current college student home for the summer and am currently working part time with flexible hours. I am looking to help families or individuals with home-drop ins, pet sitting, dog walking, etc. I currently do not have a set work schedule so I am very flexible for the time being but will be in touch if anything changes! I currently dog sit and do check-ins for relatives so I am willing to extend and help you out! I am unable to offer any services at my home but can and will do so at your home (if it includes pet-sitting) and have reliable transportation. I am fit for dog-walking as well and have experience with big dogs and little dogs. I have a regular feeding schedule for my cats and dogs and regularly play with my dogs outside and am happy to do the same with yours!


“Thanks for accepting Pablo on such a short notice. You have been excellent and provided very quick updates about our baby throughout his stay. Apologies for the mistakes on his end. You have been just super.”


About: Dogs have been a part of me since I was born. I have over 25 years of experience with many breeds, from pups to senior dogs. I’ve dealt with many issues relating to health, nutrition, surgeries (recovery), cancer treatments and more. Dogs generally gravitate to me and I’ve been blessed with their unconditional love my entire life. It truly is my passion to help you in any way I can with your special family member. I look forward to meeting you and your Dog! I’m currently available 7 days a week, 6am to 10pm for walking, playing, feeding, to give medications, etc. Also available to house/pet-sit overnight and extended stays while you travel. I’m a firm believer in caring for your dog in their own environment. It’s less stress for your pet. I follow your pets routine per your instructions. In certain situations, I will consider taking a pet in to my home for care if needed, tho prefer coming to you. I’m also available to travel world-wide with you and your pet if needed. Think of me as your Dog’s PA.

About: From the time I was born, animals have been a part of my life. My pets are my family and yours will be treated the same.

I work an evening shift so I am unavailable in the evenings except Tuesday and Wednesday. I am a full time RVer with pets, so I understand pet care needs while traveling or working.
