Ashley was wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our little Australian Shepherd on his walk. She kept us updated on how he did, including his potty breaks, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using her again!

About: Hi, I’m Hailey! 🐾 I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, a little shy, independent, or needs some extra attention, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all ages, including seniors and pets who need medications or extra care. I’m big on keeping your pet’s normal routine and making sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and of course, treats! I also don’t charge extra for additional pets, so my visits are always one set price whether you have one pet or a whole crew. 🐶🐱🐰 Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. My goal is for every pet (and pet parent!) to feel happy, comfortable, and confident in my care. ❤️ I do pet sitting full time and maintain open availability. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules while still providing consistent, high-quality care for every booking. I am available for all holidays, as well as for last minute bookings. I provide in-home pet care at the client's home only. I am available for drop-in visits, overnight stays, hourly day care, as well as around the clock constant care. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks/exercise, playtime, litter/enclosure/cage cleaning, medication if needed, sending photo/text updates, and giving your babies lots of love. I follow your exact instructions and routine to keep your pet happy and stress-free in their own environment!

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I got my very first puppy at six years old. From that moment on, I wasn’t just “around” dogs, I grew up learning how to understand them, love them, and communicate with them. What truly makes me different from other sitters is that I care for dogs emotionally just as much as I do physically. Your dog won’t just be fed, walked, or watched, they will be loved, seen, and heard. To me, dogs aren’t “just animals.” They are family members with feelings, personalities, and needs. I make it my priority to make every dog feel safe, appreciated, and understood, giving them the attention, affection, and companionship they deserve. My goal is for your pup to not only be cared for, but to have an experience they’ll remember, one filled with joy, comfort, and connection. Over the years, I’ve trained all my own dogs and even worked with professional trainers so I could learn the right techniques and bring them home. I’ve gained hands-on experience with: • Potty training • Door manners & boundaries • Feeding routines & food discipline • Socializing with other dogs I’m fully committed to the well-being of every dog I look after, and I genuinely look forward to meeting new pups and adding more furry friends to my life. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like my own , with patience, structure, safety, and endless love. I’m currently home from college for the entire summer and pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have plenty of free time and no other jobs or major commitments while I’m here. I spend most of my time at home with my family, so I’m available throughout the day to give your dog the attention, love, and care they need. Any small activities I have during the day usually last only 1–2 hours, and I’m very flexible and great with communication. I make sure to plan around my bookings so your pup’s routine always comes first. Your dog will have someone who is present, reliable, and fully available to care for them. When I care for a pet, I don’t see them as “just a dog.” I see them as a member of the family, just like I would treat a younger sibling. That mindset guides everything I do. In the morning, feeding them is my first priority, just as I’d make sure any family member eats. I also make sure they get outside for bathroom breaks right away, because their comfort always comes first. I genuinely enjoy being outside, no matter the weather, and I love taking dogs on walks. Fresh air and movement are a gift, so I make sure each pup gets regular walks, bathroom breaks, and plenty of time outdoors. When a dog signals that they need to go out, whether they walk to the door, ring a bell, or give me a look, I don’t make them wait. I respond right away. I keep each dog’s routine consistent, especially feeding times and potty schedules, because structure helps them feel safe. When we’re out walking, I sometimes take different routes so they can experience new sights and smells. I never walk dogs off-leash outside of fenced areas for safety reasons, both for the dog and others around us. At home, I like to include dogs in what I’m doing throughout the day. I don’t believe in locking them away unless absolutely necessary. If I’m cleaning, folding clothes, or moving around the house, I let them follow me so they feel involved, loved, and part of my world. I also have a secure patio play space where dogs can run around freely while staying safe. My goal is always to make every dog feel cared for, seen, safe, and appreciated, like they are truly part of the family while they’re with me.

About: Hi! I have been a vet assistant, caring for ALL animals professionally for 6 years! I am a student and mom trying to make some extra money!

I have a full time job but usually available at any time and any day! I’m willing to work around schedules! I am able to get there as early as 6am or as late as 11pm for anything that is needed. I am willing to follow the way you want me to take care of your pet. Usually, I walk the dogs with leashes and clean up their waste right away.

About: I love to spend time and get to know your pet. I love giving them the time and attention that they need. I have taken care of others pets since I was in high school. Your pet will be treated as close family to me. I would love to spend time with your fluffy companions. After a long day of working I love to unwind by feeding and walking pets. Walking pets puts me in a zen state of mind as well as making sure they stay healthy. Their health and safety will be top priority. I will always make the time for them. I will feed them at scheduled times. I will take them for long walks for their health and digestion. I will give them the time, love, care, and attention they need.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve always naturally been drawn to them — whether it’s stopping to pet a dog on a walk or making sure every animal around me feels safe and cared for. Being around animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something that genuinely makes me happy. What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as just a job — I see it as taking care of a family member. I pay attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. As a full-time student and part-time worker, I’ve learned how to manage my time responsibly and stay organized. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the commitments I take on. I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet my full attention and quality care. My class schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, and working part-time has helped me become dependable and punctual. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or evening visits, I make sure your pet’s needs come first during our time together. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like “extra” work — it’s something I look forward to fitting into my week. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I focus on keeping everything as consistent as possible. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, so I maintain their regular routine and respect your home just as I would my own. I make sure they get exercise, enrichment, cuddles (if they like them!), and plenty of check-ins. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

About: I have fostered cats and kittens for approximately ten years, and know the commitment, awareness, and love it takes to connect with animals of all personality types. I have two cats of my own that were foster-fails, so I am very well versed in the needs of all different kinds of cats, and I will apply the same loving care and attention I provide to my own to your pets. I am extremely aware and will always focus on the safety of your pet. I grew up with two dogs as well, and have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors on top of my own dogs. I truly love animals, and want to spend my free time taking care of them. You can trust me with your cats and dogs! I'm currently working part-time, so when I am not doing that I have plenty of time to spare taking care of your pets! I am available on weekends, after work, and the weekdays I am not working. I will be respectful of your home and your pets, always! You can trust me to know that your home and animals are left in safe and trusting care.
