“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”

“Lindy was a life-saver caring for our elder dog. She walked Maggie in the rain, double checked on other coverage, and sent photos of each visit. She is a very responsible caregiver and I could tell that Maggie felt very comfortable with her. I had several people checking in on Maggie due to scheduling conflicts and Lindy was supposed to be a "fill in" for us. I totally messed up the schedule and Lindy graciously covered my gaps. She even left me a "schedule template" I can use next time so I don't make errors. Next time I need someone to care for Maggie, I'll hire Lindy for the entire week if she's available. Highly recommended!”

“Good communication, on time. I will rehire. Thanks, Haley.”

About: I’ve lived on a farm my entire life and taken care of pets and animals of all types from a young age! I have a flexible, work schedule and always love spending time with four-legged friends! I provide loving, attentive care to animals of all shaped and sizes and i'm committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I work full time but have a very flexible work schedule and can make caring for your pet a priority in my day to day schedule! I am very comfortable playing with your pets outdoors or taking them on long leashed walks to get some activity for the day! I mostly enjoy tailoring each experience to the pet and owners needs!

“Kallie did a great job with my minnie Aussie. He can be shy at first but warmed right up to her on their long walks. I will definitely use her again.”

“Kyle and Meagan were just the best! They went above and beyond for our pets and we couldn’t be happier. Will definitely book again! Thank you!!!”

About: I have experience with all dogs and grew up working on a farm, caring for an array of livestock to include chickens, goats/sheep, alpacas/llamas, and two sheepdogs. I am willing to feed & care for any other farm animals or exotic pets if requested. I came from a big cat loving family, and would love to come love on yours. I currently work from home which affords me the ability to be pretty flexible with times of days and last minute bookings. If I’m a not available for some dates, please reach out to me to discuss. Due to our new pup (we rescued her Jan 2022) who we are still socializing - we unfortunately are not longer able to offer boarding or do doggy daycare in our home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and all other farm animals. I worked at hunt kennels with 60-70 hounds everyday, vet tech, brought along young puppy’s, I’ve done it all, I’m a very active person and enjoy just getting out with dogs. Please feel free to message me if you would want to know more! I work in the evenings, so would love to fill my mornings up more but have a very flexible schedule to meet house sitting needs Whatever is asked of me and how they like to do things is exactly how I’m going too. I want the animal to still feel comfortable in its own home while parents are away.

About: Animal care is my career, not my hobby or source of extra income. I have experience house-sitting and providing in-home care for pets as well as experience working in shelters, kennels, and boarding facilities. I am experienced with medication administration including injectable medications. I am comfortable working with reactive cats and dogs. Please contact me about a free meet and greet in your home -- I would love to meet your pet! Pet care comes first always! My own pup goes out 3x per day so I generally like to be able to leave a dog alone for up to 2 hours so I can go home and let my pup out but my fiancee can usually help out and we might be able to make something work if you need me to be with your dog all the time. It would require a higher fee because I wouldn't be able to accept other bookings during that time. At this point in time I do not offer to care for pets in my home. All drop-in visits will take place at the client's home.

About: I’ve loved animals since before I could walk and I’ve spent a lifetime caring for them. Having worked for the CASPCA I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about what it means for our pets to truly thrive and what they need to lead happy healthy lives. Our family treats your pet like they’re our own and make him/her feel right at home. They will spend their days with tons of enrichment activities; daily walks, tons of play time and endless snuggles if they’ll let me and so much more. This is my passion, loving animals and helping people. What more could you ask for? I would absolutely love a chance to chat with you and answer any questions you have. I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day/at night just as you would if you were home! I can adjust our schedule to fit your pets needs so they feel right at home and stay on routine. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your furry friend to play and two active pups who love a play date with friends. All interactions with your pets and ours will be closely monitored to ensure everyone’s safety. I will get information from you about your preferences and schedule for your pet so I can mirror that while they are staying in our home. I will do everything possible to make your pet happy and comfortable while you are away!

“Veronica is incredibly easy to work with and a fantastic choice to care for your pets. Highly recommend”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss schedule time and routing. I can do my best to fit my schedule into your fur baby schedule. I have two fence in yard to provide safety for those who doesn't get along with others. I also have two dogs of my own which probably won't be alot of fun. My beagle is usually sleeping in the house all day as for the husky she usually laying in the back yard squirrel hurting. I can create your fur baby at night or provide a dog bed. I do allowed fur babies to sleep in the bed only with fur parents permission. My fur babies are not snugglers so they choose to sleep on their dog beds.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, 6 in total! I currently have a Great Dane/lab mix who is a rescue. We can walk or run your neighborhood or go to a park! We can play fetch in the yard on the nice days or play inside the house on days it's too hot or raining. I can give medicines that are routine or special occurances. I can clean up any accidents left behind so you come home to a clean house after your day at work or away. I can help with training to solidify any tricks or behaviors you're trying to accomplish with your dog! I'll be sure to show your fur baby the same level of love and attention as if they were my own! I work night shift, so I am used to weird hours if needed! I am a runner so I can take your dog with me if they need a little extra exercise! I will treat your dog like they are my own! I will gladly give treats, meals, extra potty breaks, walks, runs, whatever is needed for your pet!

About: Left my career in veterinary medicine to be a stay at home mom currently. I am available to care for all types of pets and livestock. My experience in the clinic allows me to medicate and take care of special cases safely, leaving you worry free while you are away from your fur baby. From growing up on a farm to fostering for local rescues I am comfortable caring for the tiniest kittens all the way up to 150 pound dogs and even farm animals. In nice weather I am available to take active dogs on local trails for hikes or just assist your senior dog on a quick potty break,whichever suits your need best! With veterinary emergency knowledge under my belt I know what to do if an unexpected situation arises while your away and to get your baby the best care in a time of need. Ultimately I would love to establish a on going relationship with you and your pet so we can bond and know eachother instead of putting them through the unnecessary stress of constantly having to meet new sitters each time. Recently became a stay at home mom, can accommodate your daily routine so your pets don’t have to change their schedules for when you’re out of town. I treat your pet and house as my own to make sure everybody is as comfortable as they can be. I’m comfortable with special cases and behavioral issues.

About: My passion has always been caring for and loving animals. I will treat yours as if they were my own and understand that you are allowing someone you don't yet know, to care for your loved ones. I have always been a dog owner and my fur-babies are my kids. I have three now, a German Shepherd, a German Shepherd mix, and Doberman, all will be turning two next year. I have been enjoying fostering puppies through CASPCA these past several months, as well I volunteered for them as a teenager. Over the years I have very successfully cared for friends and family's pets while they were away on business or vacation. I promise to be the absolute best caregiver I can be for your fur-babies!

About: Hello, I’m Dani, and I love all animals! I have adopted multiple pets of my own from SPCAs. I personally have owned lots of dogs and cats, a few fish, a hedgehog, a turtle, and hamsters. I believe that every animal deserves lots of love and a caring, warm home! I promise to always give my best to your fur (or non-fur) babies and keep them in good hands while you’re away. It’s important for you and your pet to be comfortable with who is taking care of them. I’m comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs! I’m pretty strong for a woman and have been able to handle all breeds. I am available on the weekends and weekdays. Mornings and evenings before and after work! I can be flexible and work around both of our schedules to see what fits for us both. I work at a spa and a restaurant so my shifts at both places vary greatly. Weekends are usually a 9am-5pm at the spa, but weekday shifts are typically no longer than 6 hours. Pets are always in the best care with me. My own pets even sleep with me and I love pet cuddles! I can be flexible to do whatever you need me to do! I can feed, water, walk, play, and bathe your dog! I’d love to become besties with your pet! I often times catch myself having full on conversations with them 🤣

About: I've had pets all my life. From big dogs, to tiny dogs, to stray cats having kittens under my shed. I even had a hedgehog when I was in college (the first time). I am currently enrolled at BRCC to become a Veterinarian Technician. I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation as well. In doing this I have been lucky enough to gain experience with various species of animals, wound care, rescue and release. My husband and I just welcomed our second baby in Spring 2025 and we have a toddler so this has limited my pet sitting availability. I’m currently only doing drop in visits close to home. Please reach out with any questions. I have basically no traveling plans for the summer. I do work in town as a bartender, but it’s limited to one or two nights a week. When I’m not there I’m with my sons, but I am pretty flexible! Just shoot me a text and we can always work something out. My yard is easily escapable so I will always have your doggies on a leash to keep them safe. My two tiny hounds will gladly help me keep them company and entertained when staying at my place!
