“This is the first time I have left my puppy (4 months old) and Mary did a great job. I was pleased that she would watch a puppy, many places or people wouldn't. We will definitely use her again.”
“Rebecca & Matthew were so accommodating with our short term request and our dog Gatsby had a great weekend with them playing fetch and snuggling with the boys. I know Gatsby would love to come for a longer stay again in the future!”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“Ryan was very communicative with us during the time our two dogs stayed with him, and sent pictures over as well. The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I can tell that they were well taken care of when we were away. Thank you Ryan!”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“This is my first time ever doing something like this and I wasn’t sure how my dog Mila would react. Doreen contacted me back so quickly even though my trip was last minute. Mila loved Doreen and took great care of her, while also giving me updates and pictures. I will definitely be using Doreen every time.”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
“Luana was accommodating, easy to work with and clearly a devoted animal lover. She took great care of our little dog and was especially mindful to make sure he was safe, because he’s a quick, little escape artist. We appreciate her care and will be back when we’re in Wisconsin.”
“I'm so happy we found Becky! My little dog has a few special instructions in his old age, so I really appreciate her care and attention. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up.”
“Maria took excellent care of my little guy. He must have played a lot as he slept the entire next day. Pictures and video were greatly appreciated, too.”
“Angela was amazing!! She took great care of my Hodi. I have never left my boy before so l was very nervous. We did a meet and greet before hand which made me feel more comfortable. Angela sent pictures and text update daily. I HIGHLY recommend her to watch your furbaby. My boy had the best time. Thank you Angela and family🥰”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“Brittni & family were the best dog family we could ever ask for! Luna got along great with their dogs and kids. Brittni sent pictures of Luna with the family and out on walks. Highly recommend!”

“A week trip expanded to more than a month. Sydney worked her schedule to accommodate the delay. The cats love her and were a tad disappointed to see me walk through the door!”
“Emily and Charles took excellent care of our two fur babies while we were on a 2 week trip. We have no family around and didn't want to burden our friends. It was not an easy decision but Emily and Charles put us at ease before even leaving by being responsive and reliable. Our 2 kitties loved the extra attention while we were gone and we will book the two again for sure.”
“Jenn was so sweet and attentive to our older cat. Luna ,can be very shy and anxious and by just the first session she was interacting with Jenn. She also left very good notes and photos and was very communicative, she'll definitely be out first choice the next time we need a sitter!”

I can change cat litter. I am always available through the app or by phone if there are any questions or concerns
About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!
“Faith was a Godsend! We are so thankful for the great care she gave our two kitties. They received love and attention that was beyond our expectations! Faith was very flexible with our need to book over a holiday and had great communication with us including pictures. This was the first time we were away for a week and we felt good knowing their every need was being met by such a caring person.”
“Emily watched our older cat that is very shy with strangers. Emily had good communication with us before and while we where out of town and gave us updates on how our cat was doing. Very much appreciated, thank you!”
“Katie was an amazing sitter. I appreciated the frequent updates. She took excellent care of my Henry, and she came through for me when my dog sitter fell through on the last day of my vacation. I’m grateful for her kindness. I will be calling on Katie again when I need a sitter.”
“Ariel is an upbeat person and my three dogs really loved her during the meet and greet. On the day of her visit, she arrived on time, left me a nice series of pictures and the dogs didn't have problems when she entered the house or took them out. I will definitely book her again.”

“They did a wonderful job caring for my baby! It was my first time leaving my cat away from home and without me for over a week, so I was definitely nervous. He’s very high-maintenance, needy, and particular about his routine, but they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They listened carefully to his needs, provided excellent care, and communicated with me throughout my trip. The frequent updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was happy and doing well. They were incredibly welcoming and treated him like one of their own. I truly can’t thank them enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care. Their home is perfectly set up for animals, including the ability to keep dogs and cats separated when needed, which made me feel even more confident leaving him in their care. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Grace is amazing! Very friendly & upbeat. She is quick in responding to messages & very flexible with scheduling our dog sitting. She is also very patient in getting to know our sometimes difficult rescue, Bingo.”
“We worked with Autumn for drop in visits for our 2 cats and she was fantastic! She went above and beyond, even took out the trash/recycling on garbage day and took in our packages from the porch. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. From dogs to cats to guinea pigs and chickens. They are all unique and special in their own way. I am available weekdays Monday through Thursday. I also have limited weekend availability during the winter months. I can work with your schedule based on your needs I am able to work with what you'd like for your pets. Whether they are food motivated or play motivated, I can work with you
About: I’ve taken care of animals, my entire life. It doesn’t matter if it’s fish, rabbits, dogs, or cats. I’ve only had two cats. In my lifetime. However, I’ll tell you some stories about them. When I was younger, my parents had a farm cat named Misty. I learned how to take care of Misty at a very young age because Misty was around when I was born. I learned how to feed Misty, give Misty water, clean out the litter pan, and also just play with Misty inside of the house. Misty was a house cat and stayed in the house at all times. After Misty passed away, my family got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Cowboy was approximately eight months when we got Cowboy and again, I learned the skills of taking care of Cowboy, no matter if it was feeding Cowboy, getting Cowboy exercise or cleaning out the litter pan. Cowboy was again an inside cat and I helped Cowboy exercise in the house by using a laser light to get Cowboy to chase it or even just petting Cowboy and giving Cowboy attention. Because all cats like to be petted and snuggle up with you, while you sit and watch tv. I would be happy to stop at your house and help with your cat along with letting them outside if they go outside. Have taken care of cats while owners are gone.

“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“My dogs had a blast here. My husky usually cries when he is put in the kennel but once I got home and put him in there he fell right asleep. My golden also knocked out in the car and now in the living room. She updated me and was very kind overall. Would definitely book again! Thank you for taking care of my 2 crazy puppies.”

About: I have over 10 years pet care experience, 7 of which I have been specifically focusing on dog training. Understanding the minds of dogs and how they think requires a degree of skill and patience, along with consistent application of training techniques. This knowledge of how dogs thinks, interact, and behave helps in every aspect of dog care in itself. It makes every individual pet special because dogs have their own unique personalities, and being able to tap into that and create a bond is different from dog to dog. This is one of the best parts of taking care of people’s pets! Any of your specific needs and accommodations will be met and/or exceeded when in my care, guaranteed! I am a journeyman lineman and I work 4 days a week. Aside from that I own a dog training business where I train dogs on weekends. My wife Teal is home every day for any assistance in care for your dogs and we are both committed to giving the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for your dogs! Trusting someone with these members of our family can be stressful and hard to do at times. I understand better than anyone that giving my pets up to someone can be a daunting task. We need to trust our pets are given the same care they get at home and are loved like one of our own. In this household we have 1 cat and 2 dogs. There is nothing more important than treating your dog equally as good as one of our own. Between my wife and myself the pets we care for will receive our undivided attention and compassion. We incorporate tons of engagement and interactive play time. We are sure to see that these pets aren’t just alone and disregarded. My wife and myself strive to have an environment where animals can have a stress free and fun loving home to reside in until their owners make it back to them. Rest assured that I have been caring for dogs for many years, and training dogs for close to 7 now. You will not find a more loving and compassionate place for your dog than right here!
“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”
“Gianina watched my 7 month old puppy for 4 consecutive days. She was awesome to work with and each day my puppy came home happy, healthy, and tired. I truly appreciate her caring for him so well and I would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets, as well as many others in my home. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their loved pets! I am currently working part time and mostly from home.

I can offer baths as well!

About: Love to walk, run or go on hikes often depending on your request! Happy to assist your pet while you are away and send lots of updates!

About: Dogs are a big part of our daily life.

“Maria takes fantastic care of my dog and is always willing to work with my schedule. I know I can go to work and not have to worry when my dog is at her house,”
“This was my 1st time leaving my dogs with a sitter I didn't personally know. I was nervous, but they LOVED it! Mary & her family treated them like their own. They were exhausted everyday from playing with the other dogs and seemed excited to go back. I received daily updates & photos when they were there. It allowed me to have fun on my vacation because I knew they were happy! Thank you Mary ❤”
“Cindy and her family were great with Gus! Gus could be anxious in a new environment at times but he seemed to fit right in at Cindy's place. Cindy took him on several walks and sent pictures and messages throughout the day. She is so kind and caring. Will definitely use Cindy again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Young America
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Hi! Im Sydney and Ive owned pets basically my entire life. When I was younger I grew up with 4 cats and a black lab (which I owned since she was a puppy). I also owned guinea pigs for a few years. Currently, I own a border collie mix that we adopted from the Washington County humane society. Pet care is currently a big focus so I have a lot of flexibility! However my schedule currently doesn't work as well for long term repeat bookings. Longer house sits (7+) days might be a bit more difficult as well but I try my best to make it work! Safety is very important for me (knowing warning signs of issues like GDV, making sure hazardous items are put away, etc). Regular updates - such as pictures of walks and playtime activities - will be given frequently. I will work hard to maintain your pets typical routine by following any given instructions closely. I'm also someone who likes to do research about different breeds. Each breed is different so I like to be prepared on how each breed can act and what their needs might be. My end goal will always be to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable as I care for them
“Monica is amazing with my two pups. She takes them on good long walks. And if there is additional tasks that the dogs need she does it for me. Me and my fiancé definitely recommend her.”

I am also a great housekeeper and will clean if it is requested!
“Gilian was prompt and professional from beginning to end. Very good vibes right off the bat between her and my dog, Ember! Will definitely reach out to her again for support in the future.”
About: Hey there! A little about me, I am a huge animal lover, I grew up with my mom house sitting on rover! So I’m very used to many dogs of all sizes! I am in college (hybrid) and don’t have the space for my own pup, so caring for others animals gives me my fix! I was the neighborhood dog walker, I have pet sat for family and friends, I also have experience with cats, and exotics, chinchillas, ferrets, birds, bunnies, farm animals, you name it!:) My days are super flexible, I’m always communicative about when I’m gone. My classes are hybrid, so I don’t have to go in to school often, if I do it’s normally short periods! Meaning plenty of time for your lovely pets!! I have lots of experience with all type of temperaments when it comes to dogs and cat’s and other animals, I’m also very communicative and send lots of updates and photos!
About: I have raised dogs most of my life, I have walked them almost every day, taught them tricks, and taught them to not jump or bark at others. I have two dogs of my own and are my sole responsibility to take care of every day. I make sure to walk them and take them to the park when nice outside. Feeding them, walking them, make sure they are entertainined while playing. I try to train them more and more to train my youngest dog to become a therapy dog.
“Very good walker, Was willing to come to my location to meet the dogs before hand and I was able to give her instructions. She left the dog poop in a bag on my front door step when there are garbage in the front of the property. That is only reason I'm giving her 4 stars. Otherwise I am very happy with how she did.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Ellie! A little about me, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to birds and snakes! And I’ve loved going above and beyond to care for them, for as long as I can remember. I have a 10 year old pup myself (Toby) that has helped me understand the dedication and commitment required when caring for pet; especially during a time that might be a bit difficult or confusing for them. I’ve also learned that each pet has their own personality and I will adapt my care to be able to provide exactly what your pet needs. In addition to pet care, I’ll also be able to provide other house sitting needs such as watering plants, gathering mail or anything else that may be needed.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and animals before. I have cared for and trained various animals including cats, dogs, horses, cows, and goats. Some of the dogs I've sat for were show dogs or had health needs that required a strict routine, diet, or medication needs. While I used to be in the workforce I am home with two boys, they would be with me for any visits or walks so a somewhat kid friendly dog is needed. We used to have dogs of our own so they are both used to pups. This does make me super flexible and able to get up and go pretty quick. I have experience with a wide array of dog breeds, temperaments, energy levels and sizes. Im all ears for preferences and needs for any dog too. I am up and ready to go if needed by 8 and try to be home to cook by 4, and then Im available from 5:30/6ish when dinner raps up as my husband is home and I can run if needed. I approach slowly and gently to encourage calm for the high energy ones and safety for the more timid. I can give food and water if needed, kennel the pup if needed, and will leave the place the same if not better than how I found it.
About: I will treat your pet as my own! I will love on them, respect their boundaries they may need, and provide great care for them. I have been dogs for 20 years now and love many kinds of pets! I volunteered at an animal shelter for 6 years and treated each animal as if it were my own! I love to make homemade peanut butter treats for my personal dogs and would love to bring a treat to your fur baby! I have two young kids who are animal lovers them self! We will keep your pet safe and very loved on! I’m open to your schedule and needs that may be required! I’m open to doing drop visits for other animals as well! Look forward to hearing from you! When I’m at home I play and spend time with my two Saint Bernard! I would do the same with your dogs as well. I love to be around pets that’s why I work this into my jobs schedule! I have an open backyard that my dogs go on leashes while they go potty. We also walk our our younger one nightly and get to the dog park several times a month. Therefore, for your loved pet I would be able to do that or let them roam the yard without leash as well. I can take them for walks or to the park if needed.
About: I have been around animals, my whole life it doesn’t matter if it’s my pets, my friends, pets or even my families pets. I have had rabbits, fish, cats, and dogs. When I was first born and at a very young age, my parents had a cat named Misty. Misty was a farm cat, and I learned at the young age of how to take care of a pet and a cat. It didn’t matter if it was giving the cat exercise, feeding the cat, giving it water or even cleaning out the litter pan. I also at a young age at around eight learned how to take care of a dog as my family got a golden retriever. We got this golden retriever named Sam from Humane Society, and Sam was an older dog about eight years old. I learned how to take care of an older dog, feeding it, giving exercise and water, and of course playing fetch, because what golden retriever doesn’t like fetch. After these animals, I got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Again I learned how to take care of Cowboy by feeding Cowboy, giving Cowboy water and emptying the litter pan along with playing with Cowboy. Cowboy was a bit younger when I got him and was about eight months old. After cowboy, I was Lucky enough to get a black lab as a puppy, named Lucky. I named Lucky Lucky because what dog is not lucky to have me as their owner to take them on runs! Lucky was about four months old and again a potty trained Lucky, took Lucky to training classes and also trained Lucky on my own at home helping Lucky to learn to sit stay and play. After Lucky I got a rescue dog named Dyno, Dyno was a rescue dog from a high kill shelter in Alabama and when I did a DNA test on Dyno, Dyno came out to be a black lab pointer mix with a little bit of terrier and boxer in her as well. Dyno was approximately four months old as well when I got her. I helped Dyno learn to be potty trained took her to training classes and train her at my house as well. I helped Dyno to learn, sit and stay, and also place along with playing dead. I recently just moved out of my house, and unfortunately Dyno had to stay with my parents, because Dyno doesn’t get along with other dogs as well. I did have to be very cognizant, while I took care of Dyno, to make sure Dyno did not injure or hurt other dogs, and keep Dyno safe as well, so I’m very good at making sure and keeping track of dogs when they’re along with other dogs so that they don’t fight. I am smart and know the signs dogs have if they are nervous, worried, or scarred. I moved in with my fiancé, who has a seven year-old golden retriever named Molly, and I am currently taking care of Molly. Molly is an unbelievable golden retriever dog, loves to go for runs and play fetch. If you have a dog that loves to go for runs or walks I will gladly take them for runs and walks to get my exercise in with them. What dog does not like to go for a run? Hope I can help you walk/run and take care of your animals just like I love to take care of my own! I am a police officer and have many days off during the week. So if you need someone to let your furry friends out while at work I am perfect for that. One week I work Monday Tuesday Friday to Sunday. I’m off Wednesday and Thursday the following week off Monday Tuesday and the weekend. In my professional life, I am a police officer, so not only do I take care of animals in my personal life, but also in my professional life when they are lost, and I need to get them back to the owner, or even dropping them off at the Humane Society so they are safe. Recently on the Snowmobile Trail. I actually found a kitten and was able to get the kitten to come to me so that it did not freeze to death in the woods and get it to a business near the Snowmobile Trail so that it could be returned to the Humane Society to stay safe . Based off of my schedule in my professional life of being a police officer, I have many days off during the week. So if you’re at work and need your furry friends to be let outside, I am the perfect person. As I have many off days on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday while others are working. I can explain my schedule better however here is a break down. Week one. I work Monday Tuesday Friday Saturday Sunday. I am off Wednesday and Thursday Week two. I only work Wednesday and Thursday off the rest of the week. Even if you are home and you’re an individual that doesn’t like to go for runs or walk or are older, I could take care of your animal and let them out take them for a walk or run while you were at home as well, just to get them exercise, I would be happy to do that because then I get my exercise as well. On the weekends, I would be available most all the time as well, unless I am busy, but I would do drop in short notice type calls as well! With me working in the school during the school year, I have off days during the school year that your kids are off as well. So spring break I am open all day, or just even random days during the week they are off as well. So please keep that in mind. In the summer I am free at 2pm to let your dog outside. My schedule just changed and I work night shift. So I am available anytime during the day as long as I’m not sleeping. The days I work stays the same regarding off days and not. Right now I am not planning on having dogs or cats stay at my house with my dog Molly, so this is not something you need to worry about however, if I’m walking or taking your dog for a run, I would make sure to bring my light up light collar for your dog so that your dog is safe whether it’s dark out. If you have one I would use yours. This will make sure your dog has your collar on with its leash and keep your dog or cat safe.

“Rebecca & Matthew were so accommodating with our short term request and our dog Gatsby had a great weekend with them playing fetch and snuggling with the boys. I know Gatsby would love to come for a longer stay again in the future!”
“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“Ryan was very communicative with us during the time our two dogs stayed with him, and sent pictures over as well. The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I can tell that they were well taken care of when we were away. Thank you Ryan!”
“I'm so happy we found Becky! My little dog has a few special instructions in his old age, so I really appreciate her care and attention. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up.”
“Brittni & family were the best dog family we could ever ask for! Luna got along great with their dogs and kids. Brittni sent pictures of Luna with the family and out on walks. Highly recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Scott Ashley and their boys are a Godsend for me. Dixie is safe and I am able to relax and enjoy my vacation time. They treat her so well and she is a senior gal who is blind and almost deaf. I get photos throughout my trip and I really enjoy that. I would not leave Dixie with anyone else.”
“Sherry was so fantastic!! She took such great care of our girl Mona for the weekend, and provided lots of photos and updates. :) we would absolutely book with her again.”
“Kerry and Bruce took incredible care of our dogs while we were away. They were so caring and loving toward them, and we always knew they were in great hands. The regular updates gave us total peace of mind, and it honestly felt like our dogs were on their own little vacation. We’re pretty sure we found lifelong doggie friends and people friends too. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Cortney was really accommodating and great with Bo. Also prompt in communicating and shared pictures and a video of Bo during his stay. Her dog was a great playmate for Bo and he had a blast. I would recommend Coutney!”
“April and family were amazing! I was nervous at first, however quickly was at ease with all the updates and photos I received. They treated Allie like family and she looked so happy hanging out with them I wasn’t sure she would want to come home! Hahaha”
“Our Ella was so well cared for and spoiled during her visit! We’ll definitely be bringing her again next time we are headed out of town. Thanks for taking such great care of her!!”
About: Large yard and house, work from home and dog owner. He’s great with dogs, let me know if you need help. Plenty of attention to give. I work from home so I am attentive and able to be interactive at all times. I have a large yard but prefer to keep my dog leashed I have a 3 year old dog lab mix. He’s a baby but big. Great at dog parks and with other dogs, plenty of space.
