About: I have previous experience working at an animal lodging facility, experience caring for senior dogs, and experience administering medications when needed. As a former dog owner and current cat owner, I understand how important routines, patience, and personalized care are for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two girls on summer break. So I am looking to fill my extra time loving on your dogs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your dog loves active play, long walks, backyard time, or just relaxing and cuddling, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. I provide supervised outdoor time, neighborhood walks, play sessions, feeding according to your schedule, medication if needed, and lots of attention throughout the day.
“We are so thankful for Robin. She takes care of our kids and gives me peace of mind while we are away. She is quick to respond whenever I message her. No waiting hours on end to find out if the kids are adjusting well or if anything else comes up after we leave. Thank you, Robin!”

My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by keeping their routine consistent and providing loving, dependable care.
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same! Personal opinion but EVERY dog is very different and what works with one may not with the next !
About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. 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: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Thank you so much for coming on short notice to review all of the care needs for the girls while we are out of town this week! Eliana showed patience and attention to details, and our gals loved walking with her!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and I am experienced in many services. I can walk, feed, and bathe your animals for you and keep them safe. I do work full-time, but I’m very routine-oriented, so pet care fits smoothly into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I always make time for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins, and I plan my schedule so the pets get consistent attention. I focus on creating a safe, clean, and calm environment in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as the owner describes, including feeding, walks, crate time, and medication if needed. I keep doors locked, make sure the home is secure at all times, and I am very careful about what pets can access. I make sure there are no unsafe foods, small objects, or open doors. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners always know their pet is safe and comfortable.
About: As a veterinary technician, I’m trained in medication administration, senior and special-needs care, and post-op monitoring. I provide professional, compassionate care that goes beyond standard sitting. As a full-time veterinary technician, pet care is an extension of my daily routine and passion. I start and end my days with dog walks, feeding, and check-ins, and I’m available for extended visits, overnight care, and specialized support for senior or medicated pets on weekdays before 7:30 am and after 6:00 pm. Fridays, Sundays, and Saturdays on off weeks provide additional flexible availability for longer visits and boarding. My experience ensures pets receive professional, attentive care even while maintaining my busy schedule. I provide attentive, professional care in both my home and your home, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being. In your home, I follow your routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and can administer medications, monitor health, and care for senior or recovering pets. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and enriching environment with regular walks, supervised play, and individualized attention. As a veterinary technician, I am trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and respond promptly, giving you peace of mind whether you’re away for a few hours or overnight.
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!
“Maria was fantastic with our dogs. Our big dog has a lot of anxiety, but Maria was very patient and made sure to gain her trust. She went above and beyond what we would have expected!”

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.
“Thanks so much for your help, April! Nilla loves her walks and spending time with you. I can tell she’s always in such a good mood from the pictures you send. You’re the best!”

“Never have to worry that the pups are in good care or are bored as Mercedes takes such good care of them! Even with curveballs or unique requests, she simply takes care of our dogs so we don’t have to worry!”


“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 over 15 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as helping family members with their pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly understand how much they mean to their families. I am patient, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s personality and space. I’m especially gentle with shy, senior, or more sensitive pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, receive attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. I understand how important routines are and I always follow instructions carefully. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and I provide updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and confident knowing your pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care is a dedicated and organized part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule one day in advance to ensure I can provide reliable and punctual service to every client. I currently offer drop-in visits Monday through Friday between 6am and 3pm. I limit the number of visits per day so each pet receives calm, focused, and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I ensure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are administered as directed, and the home is kept clean and respectful. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stable experience for both the pet and the family.
