About: Since the age of 23, I have independently cared for three dogs entrusted to me by my mother. This ongoing responsibility has required daily attention to their feeding, grooming, and exercise routines, strengthening my time management, reliability, and caregiving skills. Since I stay at home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets and easily work it into my daily schedule . When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and relaxed environment with regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and stay in touch with owners with updates and photos.

About: Hello! Currently I own 3 precious female cats myself! I rescued each of them when they were kittens and still actively work with a cat rescue local in my area! I have plenty of resource opportunities if needed as well because of that! I have owned cats since I was a child, and I’ve always loved observing each of their own unique personalities. Although many say dogs are a man’s best friend, I truly believe cats are equally as loyal, loving and caring!

“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Chelsey is amazing and was an absolute lifesaver! I unexpectedly had to work remotely out of town and needed last minute help with my dog. I messaged her early that morning on a whim, and she responded immediately. She even came to pick my dog up so I could clock in at a decent time, which meant so much. She kept my dog all day, took her on two walks, gave her play time, plenty of potty breaks, and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. When I picked her up, my dog was SO happy and playing with the other dogs which is huge because she’s not always the best with other dogs. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsey for all your fur babies’ needs and will absolutely be using her services again in the future whenever possible!”
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.
About: I’ve dog sat for my friends in this area on and off for years. I grew up on a ranch with animals and am comfortable with them. I have a 3 year old chocolate lab who absolutely loves friends to play with and has never had any issues with other dogs or people. I currently work part time, and have a lot of days with full flexibility. Most mornings after my kids go to school I’m free, and weekends or evenings my 12 year old and 8 year old love to walk with or play with dogs with me. My yard is fenced in, and my home is dog friendly. I’m happy to stay in clients homes as well if my schedule with my children allows. I don’t mind driving a bit to go to different neighborhoods for walking either.
“Morgan was phenomenal!! Not only did she work with me last minute with her having less than 1 hour notice but she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate myself and my high maintence doberman - she saved me in a pinch and I could t be more grateful! Her hospitality and care was genuine and she was steps ahead of me for what I needed as she’s already experienced. I was traveling through St. Augustine and thank goodness she was available to work with me! Shocking bonus is my doberman was unusually calm with her when she’s typically uneasy with strangers the first time, she actually handled things very very well - says a lot!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs for over 20 years. I have experience with senior dogs who need a little extra care and I don’t shy away from giving them medicine if needed. I can help with some basic training like sit, stay, lay down and recall. I have never met a dog I didn’t like. I’m also a photographer and love taking pictures of the pets I care for. I am able to offer weekly pet care from 8:30-2 and anytime on most weekends. I would go get out and spend my time taking care of animals. I will care for your pets in your home with love and understanding and follow any instructions you may have.

I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do live very rural so we don’t have to worry about dogs running into the road or running away… My dogs do pretty well with being off a leash and being watched but I know others aren’t comfortable with their dogs being out like that so a leash can be used as well.

About: I have been a cat and dog lover and pet parent throughout my adult life. When I lived in Washington, I worked full time at a dog daycare and overnight boarding ranch in Snohomish. I also have a lot of experience petsitting and housesitting for family and friends. A few years ago, I job-shadowed a full time in-home pet sitter. All in all, I really enjoy spending time with critters and I look forward to meeting you and your critters! I am comfortable handling/administering medications to pets. I love to walk and hike with my dog. I would love to take your dog along to explore the trails if you think that's something your dog would enjoy. I have a fully fenced, partially shaded back yard. I currently have a small dog and 5 cats that your dog would need to be compatible with.
About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !
About: My family has always had pets growing up that I always cared for, including big dogs (St.Bernard), cats, turtles, and fish. My girlfriend and I now have a 2 year old lab golden retriever mix who is our absolute world. I love pets of all sizes and I like to stay active, so I figured why not combine these two loves! I currently run my own business but have the ability to leave when necessary but I will schedule around perfectly if I have enough warning I love animals and I am very patient with them as I know most of the time they are just excited to see new people

We really love dogs and cats especially and would love to watch yours when you’re away! We work Monday To Friday from 9 to 3 but are available mornings & evenings & weekends. We are also free for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other vacation breaks as you need us!! We love to walk and it’s nice to have the company of a pet. We obviously feed and water, while always bathing our animal when it’s needed, we are no stranger to caring to all types of pets, we have clipped nails, shaved, washed and we’ve even put clothes on pets when our client wants us too!!
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and personalized care I provide to every pet. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care — I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience working with young pets who are still learning routines and basic training. I reinforce positive behaviors, maintain consistency with house rules, and help build good habits through patience and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand they often need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and extra monitoring. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior or appetite and communicate promptly if anything seems off. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with kindness, structure, and genuine care — while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. Morning (10–30 minutes) Feed and refresh water Quick health check (energy level, appetite, bathroom habits) Walk or play session (especially for dogs) Midday (if applicable) Short walk or litter box check Brief playtime or enrichment (toys, puzzles) Evening (20–60 minutes) Dinner feeding Longer walk or active play Grooming touch-up (brushing, wiping paws, cleaning bowls) Litter box cleaning (cats) or cage cleaning spot-check (small pets) When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and structured environment. Daily Care Includes: Feeding according to the owner’s instructions (diet, portions, schedule) Fresh water available at all times Regular potty breaks or litter box maintenance Daily exercise (walks, yard time, or supervised play) Enrichment activities (toys, puzzles, affection, basic training reinforcement) Safety & Comfort: Pet-proofed space Supervised interactions with other pets (if applicable) Separate feeding areas if needed Clean bedding and sanitized bowls Medication administration if required (following written instructions) Communication: Daily updates with photos/videos Immediate communication if any concerns arise
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life, from farm animals to cats and dogs, to hamsters and fish. I’m extremely knowledgeable in vet care, training care and keeping your animal happy while in my care. I own a service dog who gets along great with all animals and people. I currently WFH and have full range to take care of your pet 24/7. I am available to do potty breaks as often as needed and free range to even take your dog to the dog park for a day of fun. I have a shaded trail in my neighborhood to take your dog on long walks and a dog that loves to play. I’m fully kitted with treats to reward and even train your animal if needed.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up I was around breeds such as Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, German Shepards, Poodles and Lhasa Apsos. The first time I became a dog mom was to Zoe, a Bichon Frise. I lived in Chicago at the time in an apartment so I had to walk her multiple times a day. Bichons also need a lot of maintenance with their fur, so I’m very familiar with grooming methods of that type of breed. After Zoe, I became a dog mom to a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, Garner. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and had him for 13.5 years. I understand the level of care a puppy needs as well as a senior dog. I’m also very familiar with handling large breeds on a leash. I understand how a pet is part of the family and I will show your dog lots of love and affection, just like I would my own. I am available Monday-Friday 8am-2pm then from 6pm-8pm. I’m available 7am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact me if you need help outside of those times and I can try to work with you. I’m not able to keep your dog in my home, but I will always make sure your dog is safe in your home. I will always follow your safety protocols.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, and everything in between. With hands-on experience in feeding, grooming, training, and holistic wellness, I understand not just how to meet a pet’s needs, but how to truly connect with them.

I'm available for pretty much anything need. My schedule is very flexible. Throughout the day, I pay close attention to their moods, making time for play, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them when they need comfort. Their well-being is a priority in everything I do, and caring for them brings structure, peace, and purpose to my day. When I care for other people’s animals, I treat them like they’re my own—with patience, gentleness, and full attention. I take time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs, so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, playing, or just sitting with a shy pet to help them feel calm, I make sure every moment is rooted in trust and love. I know how much animals mean to their families, and I do everything I can to give them peace of mind.
