About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”

“Catherine was a joy to work with! I felt very comfortable sle throughout the process, and our yellow lab Charlie had an amazing time staying there!

About: I’ve taken care of rabbits, fish, hedgehogs, cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I’ve done so for friends, family, neighbors, and mutual friends. I care for each pet like they’re someone’s baby, because they are! I currently work 8-4, but have a very flexible schedule. I can care for pets at almost any time of the day, and would love to play with your pets! I have one friendly dog who loves to go for walks or run in the field across the street. Our yard is not fenced in, but I have a very sturdy lead they can run on. We have tons of toys, and dogs are allowed on any furniture unless you specify otherwise. I have a crate and room for others if you provide your own.
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy!

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life growing up. I currently have one dog, Ruby, who is 2 years old and a cat, Henry, who is 6 months old. I also have two children (ages 5 and 9) who love pets and helping out. My goal is to provide not just reliable care, but peace of mind—so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can respond quickly to anything they may need. I also believe communication is key. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I almost hate to leave a good review, because then he will book up :) However, I can't say anything but good things about Craig. My two dogs loved him!! I got many pictures every day, weather hanging out at home or on walks, and they always looked so happy. As a matter of fact, when Craig left, my dog just stood there and stared at the door for a minute (I've never seen her do that!).”

Melissa communicated incredibly well and sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave me a peace of mind. She was also very sweet, flexible with her availability, and active with Chopper. Melissa took Chopper on several long walks, and it was clear he had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring, active, and reliable sitter.

No matter your cat’s personality I will be able to give them space or give them cuddles while you are away!

I will definitely use Brittany again and recommend her to anyone who has a pet to 💕 love. Trari”

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've loved and cared for cat and dog breeds of all ages and sizes, going back to age 12 when my piano teacher hired me to provide drop in visits to her two Bernese Mountain dogs and two senior cats. I'm experienced in bathing & nail trimming and have no problem sitting on the floor patiently brushing out cockleburs for an hour. I've had long and short hair cats, and have experience providing specific meal requirements and special accommodations, as well as administering medicine and insulin shots. I believe pets are an extension of the family and should be treated just as warmly <3 Pet safety is super important to me - I will fully respect and honor a client's wishes for whatever they need in terms of crate use, off limit areas, dietary restrictions, human and other animal interactions, etc. I'm always trying to learn more about specific breeds and their traits so I can provide the best love and attention possible. I'm also happy to help with whatever you need while you're away - bringing the mail in, watering plants, taking the garbage out - just let me know! I have an almost 8 year old son who absolutely adores animals, so if the pets and their pet parents are comfortable with it, he comes along and provides even extra attention, playtime, and snuggles. I work remotely so my schedule is generally very flexible! Mornings, midday, and evenings during the work week, and anytime Saturday-Sunday. Just reach out and I'm sure we can make it work! I don't currently offer boarding at my home, but when I do, my pets are all very friendly! When in the client's home, I'm very aware and conscious of keeping the surroundings as they were, and using only the rooms necessary to care for your pets. I always make sure doors/windows are closed and/or locked.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, and even a donkey! With two cats of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m patient, experienced, and happy to help teach basics to puppies and kittens or even adult pets if needed. As a housewife with flexible availability, I can provide attentive, loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. As a housewife with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with my own cats and any pets I’m caring for. While I occasionally work from home part-time, pet care always fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m committed to providing your pet with the attention and love they need, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just relaxing together. Let me know if you need any adjustments! I have a spacious yard where dogs can enjoy their own private space. My two cats are very friendly with other animals, but if there’s ever a dog or cat that doesn’t get along with them, I have separate areas to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of love, attention, and flexibility to accommodate each pet’s needs, making sure they feel right at home.

I prevent stress by giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, cozy snuggles, and dedicated care so you always know they are in good hands.
About: I have always had pets in my life. From rescued dogs I would fine abandoned on the side of the road to horses who were about to be euthanized by our local rancher.

Feeding to medication administration. Let me know what you need help with and I’ll be there. I’m currently looking to help pet owners as I have been in situations where I needed help with drop ins for potty breaks to needing someone to walk my dog while I was at work. I’m familiar and comfortable with doing all of the above along with giving oral or topical medication. I’m recently retired and would love to spend time helping out. I am very familiar with dogs and cats and all that goes along with making sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of care of.

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals from dogs & cats, to cattle & horses. For dogs, I've had labradors trained as family dogs, and as bird hunting dogs. I've had several house cats with varying personalities. I have been caring for my own pets for 8 years, and have been house and pet sitting for others for 3. I've administered oral medications, worked with high energy dogs, elderly dogs, and handicapped cats. I have worked with foster dogs, and trained working dogs. If you are interested in my services surrounding animals besides dogs & cats, let's talk! I am currently a college student and involved in a couple clubs on campus. I'm free most evenings for overnights, and typically have frequent breaks in my day that allow me to let dogs out or walk them. I am comfortable with a variety of training/pet ownership styles, ranging from kenneled dogs following strict rules, to those used to having rule of the house. I work to respect the current training styles as to not disrupt predetermined expectations for animals. I have worked with a wide range of pet ownership styles and can adapt to meet the routines of the animals, from feeding and walking, to rules surrounding furniture and socialization. I work to keep your animals as comfortable and happy as possible.
