About: I've been dog sitting on and off since my 20's. Most were co-workers and family. I walked, bathed, brushed and given medicine, both orally and topical as required. I'm currently retired and can dog sit 7 days a week with advance notice. I can also day board as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6pm. If different hours are needed I can be flexible. I have a very large home where your dog can roam freely inside. However, I don't have a fenced in yard. I do have a secure tie line attached to my home. Your dog will never be left outside by themselves as I will be there with them.

About: I have a 11 month old puppy that I have started training and taking care of since 8 weeks old. I also talk him on regular walks, and bathe him. My oldest dog is almost 3 and I have also have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I have watched and walked other dogs for friends and family overnight and for extended periods. I could pet care in the summer almost every day, since I am a teacher. Some things may come up, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would prefer to care for pets in my home during the day to make the pet more comfortable. I am able to play with, feed, bathe, walk, etc. I have a fenced in backyard! I would love if you are ok with my 11 month aussiedoodle came with on walks or house sitting.

About: I have babysat or taken care of dogs/animals ever since I was a child. To this day I will take in pets that are hurt or homeless until they are rehabilitated or find a good home. I have experience with all ages and stages of canine. Experience training dogs, nurturing them back to health, birthing, caring for seniors and special needs, bottle feeding babies, and much more. Let me know what your special needs are! I homestead and care for livestock on our farm. I have a pretty open availability. My largest chores here are completed early morning and late evening, giving me opportune time to be available during the days for checking in on, playing with and feeding, walking or housing your pup. I do not crate animals unless specified by owner. They will hang out with my family and I like they are our own if they are staying with us. I will follow and respect your rules for your pet in your homes and mine. We can work together with any special needs. I have an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time for drop-in visits, doggie day sitting or to go on walks with your incredible pup. I will follow and abide by the rules you have in your home for pup. During our meet and greet we will go over all expectations, needs and rules for your doggie.

“Baylea has been so good with my cat, Nubi! It's been his first time with someone looking after him and she did great with him! She did so well following my instructions to feed him, giving him space and talking to him! She said he let her pet him which he doesn't allow many people to do. I was very happy to hear things went well. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: While most of my professional experience has been with dogs, I’ve lived with and cared for multiple cats over the years. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality — whether they’re playful and social or more independent and shy — and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m experienced in providing daily care such as feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving plenty of attention at your cat’s pace. My background working in a dog boarding and daycare facility has also helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, patience, and the ability to read pet behavior and body language. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for your cat like they’re my own while keeping you updated so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages. I have experience administering oral medications and take pride in keeping litter boxes clean and tidy.

“Alyssa and her partner watched my cat for a week and they were amazing. They sent updates and kept me in the loop if something was wrong. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I have a huge heart, especially when it comes to animals. I've been around animals my entire life and look forward to making new connections! I am currently a student in college doing online classes. I’m very flexible with my schedule and am willing to come to your home, make sure your fur babies are taken care of, and accommodate your needs! I prefer to accommodate you and your fur baby in your home at the moment. My home is currently under construction but as I stated before, I’m very flexible with my schedule!

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young — I grew up in a family full of dogs and developed a love for caring for animals early on. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even chickens! For the past year, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. This experience has made me confident in reading animal behavior, creating a calm environment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me daytime availability to care for pets, provide walks, drop-in visits, and spend quality time with them throughout the week. I’m hoping to dedicate most weekdays to pet care and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and reliable care while their owners are away. At this time, I’m generally unavailable on weekends due to family obligations, but during the week I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, attention, and plenty of love and companionship. For dog walks, I make sure each dog gets safe, attentive exercise based on their energy level and needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
