About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I got my dog in college and have been dedicated to his care no matter what. Through moves and full time jobs, he has always been #1. He is a senior now and needs a little extra attention in regards to mobility, so I am comfortable with that. When he was younger he had BOUNDLESS energy as well and was eager to please. I’ve seen both sides and love them and all the traits in between Pet care is a 24/7 deal. They give us unconditional love so we should always be dedicating ourselves to the same. Daily walks, exercise and for sniffing are both beneficial and also just someone to sit by and patrol the neighborhood I care for pets how their owners would because that’s what will make the dog the most comfortable with a new person in their environment. I will always follow the clients routines and expectations

“Rob took great care of our house and two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. He was here for 4 nights / 5 days and did all the usual cat car things: fed, gave meds, cleaned the boxes, and of course, played. Our cats were happy and settled when we returned. Rob is a clear and consistent communicator; he asks questions to ensure he understands what we're needing, he responds promptly, and encouraged us to ask him questions too, so that we could have the best experience possible! And he left the house clean and tidy! We will definitely be booking Rob for our future pet needs! Thanks Rob! :D”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a young child. I’ve had the pleasure also of helping my mother with foster pets and training my own dog, Roxi from a pup. My husband and I love hanging out with our fur babies by going on hikes (now short walks around the block), cozying up on the couch together. Our family includes Roxi (14 yo dog), Winnie (1 yo cat), and our elder bearded dragon, Killa (15 yo). When taking care of the pets at our home, I make sure all the animals have been fed and have full & clean water bowls. Cleaning the litter box, and making sure Winnie has wet food in the morning. I give my Roxi baths when needed and give her daily medication. When I take care of pets at a clients home, I make sure they are fed, have water and I will either play with them outside (weather permitting), go on walks, and play or cuddle inside on the couch. For dog walking: I will great your pet with love as I’m sure they’re sad your away, then let them out to play (if allowed) to stretch the legs, or directly take them out for a stroll (rain or shine) unless bad weather. I have a towel to dry if needed. I’m very experienced with dog walking given my past experiences volunteering with local animal shelters such as AAF and AFHS. Currently working part time and looking for income taking care of animals, I’ve had a passion for taking care of care of animals like family. I would like to fill my time while looking for a full time job by taking care of my community four legged friends. I respect the pet parents home by leaving it the way I found it, clean up any accidents I see, and inform owner if any concerns that arise.

“1st time having daycare with Whitley and I couldn’t be happier or more comfortable with my girls enjoying their day. Great photos and videos shared through the day and they both slept all the way home in the car- perfect!”
“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: I’ve grown up on farms with many animals to include dogs and have raised them since I was young. Can’t wait to introduce myself to your fur baby’s and give them the love that they show us every day 😄 I’m currently in between jobs so my hours are flexible for your needs, always up for the exercise for a run or walk with your animals 😁 Currently only have a cat in a studio apartment so no space for a dog. My dog is back home in Ohio with my parents as I have no space here for him right now.
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and not only that, but I work at a doggy daycare and boarding place, so I feel I have alot of experience. I also once majored in biological sciences pre veterinary, so I have a lot of prior animal knowledge. My highschool was also a career tech school for animals. I currently am working a second job, but only part time so I have a lot of free time. I am fully free during the week, and weekends I work 7-3 usually, but I also live in a home where we all love to take care of animals, so if they were to board there is always someone at home to look out for them. I don’t have a fenced in yard, however I do have a very safe neighborhood, so I am willing to take animals outside on a leash, on a walk, etc. I also have alot of open space in my home for play/ exercise. I have one dog who is a Japanese chin, very tiny very sweet dog, she gets along with anyone and is the most loving girl. I have a cat also, the sweetest cat you will ever encounter. She loves to play with my dog and greet new people who come in our home.
About: I love dogs and usually bond quickly. I have experience with special diet dogs, elderly dogs, etc. I am like a dog chaplain. I will care for your dog (and home if needed) as I do my own. I work in an industry that requires back ground checks. I have cared for since childhood: German Shepherds, Rabbits, Chows, Rottweiler, Labs, Shih Tzu, Schnauzers, Terriers, rabbits, fish, etc. I'm available at various times with notice. If I am requested for in home care I will care for your home as my own. I look forward to supporting you in any way that I can. Blessings. I’m home all day a few days per week. However, I can do drop ins and house sitting daily. Morning, Afternoon and Evening walks are provided when in boarding or daycare. Weekend stays include park time and long walks. I have a sweet smaller dog whom is very loving and after getting to know your dog will treat them like a sibbling. It is important that your dog be okay with being crated only at night or if I need to run a close errand. Otherwise dogs welcome on couch etc.
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My first job was at a doggie daycare. I can bath, walk, or just snuggle your furbabies. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks, and play time. I do have crates if needed however doggies are welcome to sleep and play anywhere in my home. I currently work from home. I can take breaks whenever needed. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your dogs normal routine. Just let me know at booking. I typically get up at 5:30am, I walk or let doggies out back in fenced in yard for a potty break. I mostly work on my laptop in the main living space and get up every few hours to walk or toss the ball in the back yard. My flexibility with work allows me to provide special care if your furbaby needs it. Medicine, more frequent feedings, or potty breaks, exercise.
About: My name is Zack. I have had dogs my entire life. I have owned all different breeds of dogs. From miniature pinscher to pit-bull terriers. I started training my own dogs 20+ years ago. As I have gotten older, it grew with me. I enjoy playing with dogs and training them. I currently have my own dog training business on the side. So while your dog is with me, I will take special care of him/her and your dog will have a lot of fun. I also have 4 dogs of my own that we got from the shelter. Two are lab mixes, 1 is a maltese mix and 1 is an AustralianCattleDog. I also have 2 kids in their teens that help me with training dogs and also help me with dogs I take care of and take for walks. My wife and kids love dogs just as much as I do. Dogs are family in this home, not pets. I'm just glad my kids enjoy it as much as I do because it's a great way to teach my kids while spending quality time with them. My family and I have plenty of time with your pet while they are here for play time, walk time, socializing, lounge time and more. I currently have 4 dogs myself that are dog friendly that ur fur family can play with. I also have crates for dogs if I feel like dogs need a break from eachother. Your pet is treated like family in our home.
About: I've taken care of my family dog for 6 years, and I also was entrusted with my friends and family's dogs since I was 9. Currently, I am doing volunteer work and shadowing physicians as I am home for the summer from college. I am available majority of the week and weekends. I make sure to let our animals have their separate spaces for when they are in need of a rest. They also have fulltime access to food and water, and I have a fenced in yard with enough room to run around. In a client's home I will make sure your pet has food, water, and a clean place to go to the bathroom. I will ensure they are mentally stimulated with plenty of play time and cuddle time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I can do some basic training (like sitting, no jump, no nipping, ignoring other animals) animals have been a core part of my life since I was a baby. They are truly the soul of this world.

I’ll make sure I will build trust with your pets and that they are comfortable with me. I’ll keep their regular routines, so no added stress!

About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.

I always makes sure that a new pet has a space of their own where they have everything they may need, including privacy. I understand that some pets need time to themselves when nervous about being away from their owners. I also understand that some might need extra love and care, so I’m more than happy to let them follow me throughout the home. To ensure their safety, we keep a tidy home, with food put away in secure locations. They will be kept on their leashes in the event that we need to leave the house.

My genuine and caring personality comes from my many years working at a senior living facility, at the James Cancer Hospital, as an at-home caregiver, and now at a primary care office. While healthcare is my main field, I grew up with animals and they have a soft spot in my heart! People would describe me as responsible, diligent, and more than willing to lend a helping hand! Please feel free to reach out! Monday through Thursday I work 7:45am to 5pm, so I am available before or after then! On Fridays, I work 7:45-1pm. On the weekends, I am available any time! I live in a single family home with a large back yard and I am in walking distance to many parks. I currently live with two other girls and we do not own any pets. Both roommates are animal lovers as well, so we create a very caring environment!
About: Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs from their puppy years to their senior days. I've always shown them compassion, love, and care. I enjoy outdoor activities with them, whether it's playing in the yard, going for walks—short or long—in the neighborhood, or embarking on hiking adventures. When they prefer to simply laze around and seek comfort, I'm there for that too. My full attention is devoted to them when they're under my care. I'm retired and lost my dog due to a stroke, so I have plenty of time to care for your family pet. I will care / walk your pet at your home or pick up and drive to a park for a hike or longer walks. I will ensure your pet is kept in a secure area while indoors and on a leash when outdoors. Should you have any specific requests, I will adhere to them and strive to maintain your pet's regular routine. For walks, I will only take pets from one household at a time to avoid mixing different households.
About: Ive dog sat for my sisters who both have giant dogs more than I can count and I’ve kept my fathers friends service dog. I love animals and it just feels right I currently work part time so it’s easy to work something out ! All I ask is to ask and let me see what I can do to help! I currently don’t have a dog but I’m looking! My yard isn’t fenced but it it however quite big and if needed I will walk them out there with a leach! My house is big and they are allowed to come inside!
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me! I work full-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and make plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!

“Omg! I don’t know where to start… Karen was amazing from the start of us booking her. Quick response and met with us ASAP. She always responded to my questions and wanted to really know about Mylo. My Mylo don’t do well with others besides a few. I had this feeling he would be great with her because of her first impressions and conversation. He will be back and we found a new sitter and family member for him. I highly recommend her. She is amazing!!!!! ?”

“Laurie was absolutely great! She was so good to Odin and welcomed into her home as if he was her own. He adapted well to her family and she kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. We are so thankful for her!”
“Jenna took excellent care of our 10 month old golden retrieve Coco. She and her family welcomed Coco into their home and provided the care and attention Coco needs. Jenna even sent texts and photos which reassured us Coco was doing well. We never like to leave Coco at a kennel when we go out of town. She is confined in a kennel with limited attention. It is good to know we have a wonderful home where Coco is welcomed and will receive loving individual care and attention thanks to Jenna. Debbie R”
“Super amazing experience. My dog did not want to leave when I went to pick him up. He had so much fun. He ran around the backyard and I got pictures of him from Tonia having all that fun. I will definitely be leaving him again maybe just for his fun vacation. Tonia is the best.”
