Flexible, responsive, and very understanding of our dogs’ individual personalities and needs. We appreciated the daily updates, and could tell they were doing just fine. Which was great because I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, they were happy to see us but clearly not stressed or anxious. Meaning - they felt safe and comfortable and happy under Judith’s care. Her home is perfect for dogs, with a fenced back yard. I’m so thankful and highly recommend Judith!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats in my own home and for family members. I understand that cats need patience and a calm approach, and I always respect their space and routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and gentle attention so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also enjoy playing with cats who like interacting with their toys and giving them attention based on their personality and comfort level.
“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”
About: I have had cat's my entire life. I also watch several of my friends kittys when they go on vacation. I currently have 3 cats. 2 were found on the streets as kittens and one was adopted. My newest one is 8 weeks old and was found living under a shed.
About: Caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for cats raised on a family farm.

Experienced in maintaining consistent feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, engaging cats with interactive play, and keeping them mentally stimulated and entertained. I understand that every cat is different and respect their individual comfort levels, giving them affection and attention when they seek it while also recognizing when they prefer their own space.

About: At 26 years of age, I reside in a spacious and comfortable abode alongside my spouse. Although we have not yet welcomed children into our household, we are blessed with the presence of an affectionate canine companion. My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I derive immense pleasure from spending time with and caring for them. My pets are a cherished source of companionship, with whom I relish playing and sleeping. As I am currently based at home throughout the week, I have the availability and flexibility to attend to the requirements of any beloved pet. My attentive and affectionate approach towards pet care ensures that they are provided with ample playtime, nourishing meals, and ample adoration. Moreover, my expansive garden area presents an ideal space for pets to engage in playful activities and revel in the great outdoors. Taking good care of pets involves some simple steps like making sure they have a safe and comfy place to hang out, feeding them regularly and giving them plenty of water to drink, making sure they get enough exercise and playtime, and making regular visits to the vet. You also need to keep them clean and neat by bathing and brushing them and giving them some fun toys to play with. No matter where you're looking after your furry friend, whether it's at your own house or someone else's, always put their health, safety, and happiness first!

About: I provide attentive and loving care to every dog, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. With 8 years caring for my own dog, I understand their needs. As a stay at home, full-time student, my schedule is flexible and allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, and consistent care throughout the day. I live in a cozy townhome with a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime and fresh air. It’s a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel at home.
About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.
“Chandra is amazing to work with! We received photos, and updates while our dog, Bauer was in her care. She made the process easy for us by picking him up and dropping him off him off when we needed it. Bauer had a great time at her house too! We will absolutely be using her again.”

About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.

I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and helping take care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and laid back, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I currently work from 4am–1pm, which gives me availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on varying days off throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and committed to making sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a spoiled 2-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand how important routines, attention, and patience are. I follow care instructions closely, keep communication open, and can provide regular updates and photos during visits or walks.

About: At 26 years of age, I reside in a spacious and comfortable abode alongside my spouse. Although we have not yet welcomed children into our household, we are blessed with the presence of an affectionate canine companion. My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I derive immense pleasure from spending time with and caring for them. My pets are a cherished source of companionship, with whom I relish playing and sleeping. As I am currently based at home throughout the week, I have the availability and flexibility to attend to the requirements of any beloved pet. My attentive and affectionate approach towards pet care ensures that they are provided with ample playtime, nourishing meals, and ample adoration. Moreover, my expansive garden area presents an ideal space for pets to engage in playful activities and revel in the great outdoors. Taking good care of pets involves some simple steps like making sure they have a safe and comfy place to hang out, feeding them regularly and giving them plenty of water to drink, making sure they get enough exercise and playtime, and making regular visits to the vet. You also need to keep them clean and neat by bathing and brushing them and giving them some fun toys to play with. No matter where you're looking after your furry friend, whether it's at your own house or someone else's, always put their health, safety, and happiness first!

About: I love dogs! I have three of my own—if I could, I would have 300. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for over 30 years, and my experience spans all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and following special routines. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious, high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and patience, as well as shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, reassuring presence. My animal experience isn’t limited to dogs. I’ve also cared for horses and rabbits, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, safety, and attention to detail. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their comfort, routine, and well-being. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, extra medical attention, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have reliable availability in the evenings on weekdays. I’m also fully available during school holidays, long breaks, and throughout summer vacation. During those times, I have flexible daytime and extended availability to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. If you have a pet who needs consistent evening care during the school year or more frequent attention during breaks and summer, I’m happy to help and keep their routine as smooth as possible. When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Dogs receive regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest, and I always prioritize comfort, especially for senior dogs or those with medical needs. I take introductions slowly when needed and make sure every pet feels secure and respected. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away. Caring for Pets in Your Home When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious pets, seniors, and medical cases. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I leave your home clean and cared for, and your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

“This is the first time we’ve boarded our dogs so we were a little anxious about how they would adapt. Judith was a total Godsend! Flexible, responsive, and very understanding of our dogs’ individual personalities and needs. We appreciated the daily updates, and could tell they were doing just fine. Which was great because I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, they were happy to see us but clearly not stressed or anxious. Meaning - they felt safe and comfortable and happy under Judith’s care. Her home is perfect for dogs, with a fenced back yard. I’m so thankful and highly recommend Judith!”
“Keyuana did an exceptional job taking care of Buster for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. She provided daily updates with pictures, and treated Buster with so much love and care.
