About: I have been dog owners for over 20 years. I work from home full time. I live on a 5 acre gated property. I have a 2 year old neutered Golden Retriever who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home so I can facilitate potty breaks when needed. I am off work by 4 or 5 everyday and off on weekends. I do have a crate if needed. I do not have a fenced yard so would always walk your pet on a leash. Pets would never be left unsupervised.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!

About: i have genuine love for animals. i feel like i connect with them on a deep level, and animals have always loved me as much as i love them. i have never had a paid animal sitting job, however, i have owned and taken care of them my entire life, and many occasions, i’ve helped family members with animal sitting. I work part time, and my son has therapy on Tuesdays/Thurs. He is autistic. I’m just looking for a few little boarding or drop ins jobs here and there on Fridays, Saturdays, & potentially some sundays. preferably after 3 pm. I have a fenced in yard in the back of my home if they come to my home. They are also welcome in the house, but i would prefer they be potty trained or atleast someone be working on it with them. If it’s a drop in at your home, I will do whatever it is that you need. As stated, they will be so very well cared for and i will treat them like i do my own.

About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals and am not afraid of anything. Being blessed with a companion is a gift from life itself. I have experience with medication management, boarding, leash training, etc. I am actively learning grooming. I work full-time at a Transitional Living Program for foster youth. I work Monday through Friday. I typically go in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6:45am and leave by 3:00pm. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually work from 8a-4p. I am able to leave my work to check on animals as long as they are within a reasonable distance. Weekends I’m pretty free. I have a fenced in back yard. I am able to take your pup to the park and walk. I have an SUV that is kennel friendly. Kenneling your pets in your car is a must and is the safest way of transportation. Personally my pets eat in the mornings. My pets are all kennel trained.

Taryn was very accommodating for my two corgis. I was a little worried at first because one of my dogs can be a little aggressive toward new dogs. Taryn was able to introduce the dogs properly and assured me that she would be able to separate them if there was ever any issues. Everything worked out fine and my boys received all the love and attention they needed.

About: I have trained puppies and have had multiple pets. My friends are always asking me to help with their animals, even financially. I love the meet and greets and spending my time with animals! I am only Doordashing right now for work and pet sitting so my hours are very flexible! I am pregnant though! But that has no effect because my boyfriend tends to help me with the animals so that your animal is busy all day when he is home and I try to spend some time Dashing! We have ample time for any hour for feedings, walks, playtime, or potty breaks! I am safe and reliable. Always on my toes and ready for a fun day with a pet. I hope you will entrust me. I do not steal and or trash anywhere I go.

The first time I stop by I usually let the pet meet me first then start care whether that’s walking or just letting outside. After that I always save some time to play and let energy out

Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was young from rescuing strays to babysitting family and friends pets. There’s rarely an animal I won’t find a way to take care of or help in some way if I have the means to do so. I currently work full time, but would gladly stop in before and after work to feed and water and check up on your pet. Your pet is important and making sure they have everything they need plus a little extra love from someone while you’re gone is extremely important to me. I will care for your pet like I care for my own. Loving and caring for it while you are gone will be my highest priority.

Making myself available to come to you is something I think is important so you and your pet feel more comfortable in your own surroundings. I would care for your pet in your home along with your pet routine. I know how important it is for your pet to stay on their routine. With you being gone it will help ease pet anxiety, if they have it.

About: I have 10 plus years of experience training, breeding, and caring for dogs aging puppy to adult years and small to medium size. My family previously owned a dog boarding kennel in which we provided obedience training, leash training, and anger management and redirecting negative behaviors. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have immense time on my hands. Daily Dog walking, drop in visits, overnights, etc are all on the table, therefore I have full availability every weekday and weekend. With lots of tender love and care. I treat animals that I oversee as if they are my own. I love on them, feed them, exercise them exactly as you would yourself so that they are not outside of normal routine and are not lacking of anything while you aren’t able to be home for them!

About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.

I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!

Absolutely love the care my puppy got with Alicia! I wasn't nervous to leave her there at all, she made sure both me and my dog were welcome. If I could give her ten stars I would!

About: I have trained puppies and have had multiple pets. My friends are always asking me to help with their animals, even financially. I love the meet and greets and spending my time with animals! I am only Doordashing right now for work and pet sitting so my hours are very flexible! I am pregnant though! But that has no effect because my boyfriend tends to help me with the animals so that your animal is busy all day when he is home and I try to spend some time Dashing! We have ample time for any hour for feedings, walks, playtime, or potty breaks! I am safe and reliable. Always on my toes and ready for a fun day with a pet. I hope you will entrust me. I do not steal and or trash anywhere I go.

About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.

My pups get fed twice a day, and my cats get one big full bowl to munch on through the day. I clean my little boxes 2-3 times a week and I also go into my yard to clean up dog poo as well! Our pets get so much love and cuddles, along with weekly baths! They love to through around the ball, or play tug or war!

About: My house is full of love we love all pets big and small we have chinchillas, birds, cats and my dogs and they will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. Also for pet sitting I offer multi pet family discounts because as someone with many pets I get it pet care can be expensive. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. Starting in 2020 I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 9 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.

About: I love dogs! All dogs... big, small, smelly, playful. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as other's. Dogs generally love me as well. I learned most of what I know about caring for dogs from The Dog Whisperer. He really knows his stuff! Does your dog need walks and some extra training? I can handle that no problem and really enjoy seeing a dog respond to training and play. I use positive reinforcement while working with dogs. I love walking for fitness and love it even more when I have a pup to join me. While pet sitting, I can also care for plants, etc. I enjoy gardening so if you have a garden and require house/pet sitting, consider me your person! My schedule is very flexible. I currently work gig jobs and freelance, remote accounting projects. If I am house/pet sitting for you I can accommodate whatever schedule your animals usually follow. I will follow whatever rules/instructions are laid out for me. Safety is number 1 and I am sure to keep owners updated on any issues promptly.

About: I have 10 plus years of experience training, breeding, and caring for dogs aging puppy to adult years and small to medium size. My family previously owned a dog boarding kennel in which we provided obedience training, leash training, and anger management and redirecting negative behaviors. I am currently a stay at home wife so I have immense time on my hands. Daily Dog walking, drop in visits, overnights, etc are all on the table, therefore I have full availability every weekday and weekend. With lots of tender love and care. I treat animals that I oversee as if they are my own. I love on them, feed them, exercise them exactly as you would yourself so that they are not outside of normal routine and are not lacking of anything while you aren’t able to be home for them!

About: I’ve taken care of and raised dogs since I was young. From family pets to pack type dogs on farms that I worked with. I walk and play with my dog River a ton everyday. We typically walk 2-4 miles a day if the weather is nice. He is wonderful with other dogs and has tons of friends, from puppies to older dogs. I have plenty of crate training and on leash experience. I can also separate the animals easily without crates if needed. I am currently available for full time pet care. Let me know what works best for you. Weekends are usually the easiest for me, but no preference overall. Scheduling further in advance is preferred but not necessary. I’m typically up and walking my dog by 7:30 am so any routine or communication works fine with me. Typically I wake up and let the dogs outside immediately. Then play a little, then it’s breakfast time according to the dogs’ feeding schedule. After breakfast I usually relax and pet the dogs awhile before taking them on a walk that’s best suited for them. I also have a nice fenced in yard for them.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I grew up with large-breed dogs and have loved dogs my entire life. When I moved out on my own, adopting a dog was one of the first things I did! I currently have three resident dogs, all of whom I trained myself. Two of the three have severe separation anxiety, so I'm quite well-versed in some of the behavioral traits that come along with that. For the past two years, I've also been actively involved in the dog rescue world by fostering. I've fostered 12 dogs ranging from young puppies who needed to learn the basics to adult dogs who came with more challenging behavioral needs such as resource guarding. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, and adaptable with every dog I care for. I understand that not every dog is going to walk into a new environment perfectly behaved, and I genuinely enjoy meeting them where they are and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a perfectly behaved adult, or somewhere in between, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My resident dogs still rule my daily routine. Your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day/night and can have potty breaks as consistently as needed. I've house trained seven puppies over the past two years, so I'm very used to frequent potty breaks if that's something your pup needs. Otherwise, every 2-4 hours is pretty consistent with the routine my resident dogs are on. I've fostered dogs with a variety of different needs and have always worked it into my schedule. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, so I'm happy to adapt my approach to each dog's individual needs and your preferences as a pet parent. I do have three resident dogs in my home, all of whom are extremely dog friendly. Ideally, dogs staying in my home will be comfortable around other dogs, but I understand that not every dog wants or needs constant interaction. I have a separate guest room that I've previously used for foster dogs who needed some quiet time or a slower introduction. If your pup needs their own space, they can have a dedicated area away from my resident dogs while still having plenty of company - I work from home, and the guest room also serves as my home office. I have an unfenced yard, so dogs are always taken outside on a leash. I also have a long line that allows fogs more freedom to sniff, explore, and play while remaining safely contained. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether your dog is staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home. When caring for a dog in your home, I'll follow your instructions and do my best to maintain your pup's normal routine, including feeding, medication, walks, potty breaks, and any other care they're accustomed to. My priority is always safety, communication, and making sure your pup feels comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I've had people care for my own dogs while I've been away, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum - sitters who went above and beyond and sitters who left me wishing I'd been there myself. I know how important it is to maintain a dog's routine and give them the same care and attention they're used to. My own dogs are basically my children, so I know exactly what level of care I'd want for them. That's the same standard I'll bring to caring for yours!

About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.

Taryn was very accommodating for my two corgis. I was a little worried at first because one of my dogs can be a little aggressive toward new dogs. Taryn was able to introduce the dogs properly and assured me that she would be able to separate them if there was ever any issues. Everything worked out fine and my boys received all the love and attention they needed.

Ila was great. Sent a ton of photos every day. My dog had his own vacation while we were away with her. Will definitely rebook with her for our next trip.

About: I have trained puppies and have had multiple pets. My friends are always asking me to help with their animals, even financially. I love the meet and greets and spending my time with animals! I am only Doordashing right now for work and pet sitting so my hours are very flexible! I am pregnant though! But that has no effect because my boyfriend tends to help me with the animals so that your animal is busy all day when he is home and I try to spend some time Dashing! We have ample time for any hour for feedings, walks, playtime, or potty breaks! I am safe and reliable. Always on my toes and ready for a fun day with a pet. I hope you will entrust me. I do not steal and or trash anywhere I go.
