About: I am a former RN... I've been around animals my entire life. My animals are like my children. My son Sam helps me.. he is just like me. We enjoy walking our dog and feed him excellent food. My animals have always been healthy and I am a responsible dog owner.I teach for a living now but I work from home 4 days a week and work at a local college 6 hours a week. I lived in Europe for many years... southern Germany where people train their dogs and take very good care of them. I am also a certified pet groomer, but I only groom my own pets now. I would love to help you out on the weekends or on holidays because I would not like to put my dog in a kennel either. I do not work on the weekends and am available. My son assists me with walking or playing with our pets. Our dog Lizzy would love to have someone new to play with. I have a farmhouse with a large yard that is partially fenced in. I crate my puppy at night and have a playpen during the day when we are not outside. My cats run around on all 3 floors.

I will be taking your dog, for walks, car rides, and down to the lake to see my world.

About: I pride myself in my responsibility and reliability! I’ve been taking care of all friends furry since I was 12, but have grown up with cats all my life. And I have tough skin, so don’t mind getting a claw to the arm when playing lol!
“Ashley went above on beyond what we asked of her while doing checks in for our cat while we were away for over a week. I appreciated the daily updates and adorable pictures. She was thorough and made sure to ask about anything that might be of concern which we appreciated. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve cleaned house with multiple cats and animal, including a mom with kittens. I’ve owned several Siamese over the years and love cats as much as dogs. I can check in on your cats also, if you have a dog staying with me.
About: I have cared for cats and kittens of all ages (including neonates). I am knowledgeable about cat behavior and their needs. I am experienced doing simple grooms (sanitary trims, paw trims, etc.) in the process of learning to do full grooms, I am experienced in administering most medications (oral, topical, etc.), nail trimming, bathing and more! I am also experienced with working with feral cats. I really enjoy finding toys for cats that don't have much interest in them and getting them to play! While making house visits I can provide some services for your cats: I will bring my own supplies. My tools are sanitized between clients. Lion cut or full groom: $20-$40 depending on toleration Cat sanitary cut and nail trim: $15-$25 Full groom, nail trim and bath: $45-$70 depending on toleration of the grooming process. Nail trim only: $10 Dematting, nail trim, and bath: $50 and up depending on the time it takes to work out matts and how tolerant your pet is (for severe matting I will recommend a full shave) If your pet is severely stressed during a groom, I may not be able to finish the process, or it may take more time than usual to help your pet adjust. I intend to keep my practices fear free. Fleas: If fleas are found, a $15 charge is added to your bill. This goes towards the process of keeping fleas from infecting my own animals upon my return home. All prices, on all services are subject to change due to time involved and your pets tolerance.
About: I’ve take care of cats for 8 years. I love cats and know how to take care of them. I understand a cat is a cat and will do what they want when they want to. Your pet will sense I’m a friend once I meet them. I can pet your cat, use a scrubber or brush, play with them and follow your directions on feeding them.
About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: Hi, I’m Jamie, and I’m thrilled to bring my love for animals and my 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse to the world of pet care. I know that your pets are more than just animals—they’re family. That’s why I offer personalized pet boarding and professional dog walking services tailored to meet the unique needs of each furry friend. I take a very limited number of animals at one time so that your Furry family member will become a member of our family while they’re here! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of trust and reliability when it comes to caring for your pets! Whether it’s a cozy staycation while you’re away or a fun-filled walk to keep them active, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. ** at this time I cannot accept intact male dogs** thank you for your understanding! I work part time, I am home the majority of most days so chances are I will have availability for you! I am flexible with days and times! Last minute plans? No problem! I have a large fenced in 1/2 acre partially wooded dog run. I have multiple sized crates and smaller fenced in areas as well with plenty of space for you pooch!
About: Since I was a child, I’ve had a passion towards caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds - whether it has been caring for my own dogs or friends and family members four legged friends, I’ve always been dedicated to providing the very best care. Now, I am available to give that very same passionate care to your pet. My availability is currently very flexible - I may be more available than most local pet sitters. My daytime & weekend availability will remain open unless stated otherwise on the calendar. No matter what location I am utilizing for my clients, respect and safety are always my top priorities. I will always ensure the safety of your pet, and I will always deliver the highest quality of service and respect to you and your furry family member. If you’re considering me for boarding I have both cats and dogs. Dogs are completely separated from the cats but they do get along. They have a whole floor of the house to themselves. I carefully monitor full time of course.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and honestly just love being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or staying with them while you’re away, I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one and treating them like they’re my own. 🐾🤍 🐾 Monday–Friday: Flexible availability throughout the day since I work remotely and can adjust my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. 🐾 Weekends: Limited availability due to other work commitments, but feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate when possible. I know pets are family, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles, and make sure they’re happy in their own environment. I’ll also send updates and pictures because I know I’d want them too! 🐶🐾
“Gina was so accommodating! Our dogs, Harry and Libby, came home happy and oh so pooped out! They were so well taken care of and we could not have been happier with the care they received. Gina is a lovely person and her family was super with our dogs!”
About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.
“My friend and my three pooches were well taken care of while we went out to breakfast and went to a musical. Katherine sent us photos, so we knew the kids were all right. Thank you for taking such good care of them.”

About: I have a lot of experience with training dogs (mostly puppies) and healthcare with any animals. I also am very patient and caring towards all animals. I currently am a CNA with a lenient schedule, as I choose when I want to work and I also am in nursing school but am always at home. I work part time and choose when I work, therefore I am very flexible and always at home with any animal. I am not too busy, so I will usually always be available. I try my best to give the animal (s) as much attention so they are having a fun time. I tend to send the owners multiple pictures throughout the day, to keep them updated on their dogs day with me.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, but currently, am a mom to 3 of them, so I know a thing or two… from >5 lbs to 100… I got you! I’ve been dog sitting for others for almost 5 years now, and actually just spent the last few months volunteering at a local Vet’s office… so I know doggy CPR now if needed! It’s officially SUMMER (yay) which means i’m free literally whenever! Call/message me and I can be there ASAP! ❤️ Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I got you! 🐾 I don’t offer services in my home, since my dogs are veeeery jealous when another is around to steal all the back scratches and belly rubs, but I can guarantee that they don’t mind when i get out of the house for a few hours 🤣 In your home, I promise to provide a nurturing environment, with the same structure and routine you’d force if you were there. Whether it’s overnight or two weeks, I’ll love on your animals like they’re my own!
“Jayme is so great with Luna. She came over to meet her before they started walking together which made me feel at ease. My girl is so so happy every time they walk together. I'm glad that I found her as I'm picky with who I allow near my baby. Jayme asked so many questions and listened when I was telling her about Luna. She's allowed me to feel at ease knowing that my girl is in capable hands.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in high school! I unexpectedly ended up with Evie as a puppy (an old boyfriend fell in love with her!) after years of having birds and really came to understand why people love dogs so much! I've spent a lot of hours working with a trainer with Evie to build her confidence and work on different things and she has done so well! If your dog is nervous with certain noises or unsure of new environments, I've spent a lot of time working on these things with Evie and would be more than happy to help your pup feel comfortable! Evie and I are always up for a new adventure and love getting out together on the weekends. There is always room for more friends as well! We live right by Moraine state park, as well as several other great places to explore! Right now I have availability on weekends, but hoping to expand into the week as well! Your best friend will enjoy some amazing adventures, new smells, and as much fun as we can manage to squeeze in! Very happy to go for long walks and hikes, trips to the park, etc. I currently have a large field behind my place for them to play in as well! Safety is my top priority and your companion will receive top-notch care!
