“Makenzie dropped in to check on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She did a great job! She sent us pictures of them and made sure they had everything they needed while we were away. I would not hesitate to have her take care of any of our animals in the future!”
“This was my first time booking with Kiley and she exceeded my expectations. She was hired for a drop in visit but not only showed up on time, but stayed longer than the scheduled 30 mins to make sure my dogs were comfortable. Two out of my three puppers are typically shy around new people, but Kiley was patient and gentle with them. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her as a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.
About: From wiggly puppies to wise old seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s high-energy zoomies, slow-and-steady strolls, or extra TLC for pups who need a little more love, I’m here for it all. I regularly volunteer at local shelters to walk, play with, and even foster animals who need a boost of love and attention. It’s more than just pet-sitting for me—it’s about building trust, comfort, and connection with every animal I meet (and probably falling in love with them a little, too). You can count on me for reliable care, happy tails, and plenty of cuddles. Let’s make your pet feel right at home—even when you’re not! Stay-at-home mama (former elementary teacher) with flexible hours and a heart full of love for pets. Two of my three kiddos are in school during the day, so I’m available to give your pets all the attention they deserve—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, love volunteering at shelters, and am all about making pets feel safe, happy, and spoiled. Not quite ready to jump back into full-time teaching, but 100% ready to be your pet’s new favorite companion! In my home, I have a large fenced in yard and indoor kennels. I am good at following directions and will make sure your animal has all their basic needs met.
“Maria was flexible and communicated quickly. Eevee (our fur baby) loved her and did great, we don't trust many people with her, but I would trust Maria anytime and we will definitely use her again. She was so great with Eevee, and sent detailed messages and pictures back with her. Can't say enough good things! 💜💜💜”
About: I grew up feeding and caring for strays. I've had several "fur babies" since 1987 and have done part time pet sitting professionally since 2006. I am very flexible with scheduling but would prefer reliability in scheduling of clients on my calendar, since I maintain a regular part time job. I would be more than excited to come and care for your fur babies. I've been Mom to an elderly blind dog and am currently Mom of two spoiled felines. I don't charge extra for unconditional love.
About: I currently have a German Shepherd/ Husky named Echo and a cat named Stella at home. I have always grown up with animals and taken care of dogs, cats, and even snakes. I work remote so I can work anywhere which makes my schedule pretty open. I usually work Monday through Friday 8 hours a day, normally 11:30 to 8pm. For my own pets I take my dog to the park, dog park, the creek, and anywhere that I can really. I am okay with walking the dogs, playing with the dogs, staying with them if needed, changing litter, and taking care of them like they are my own.
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I have 3 dogs I’ve raised since they were puppies and they’re currently 10 11 and 12! I also have my cat and have had to help him through a lot of medical issues. I currently work park time mostly on weekend so I’m available to walk your dog or care for your furry friends during the week mornings to afternoons I only had one cat so I don’t need a lot of space. I live in an apartment so I don’t need a lot of room and I only am looking to do dog walking but could watch a pet if needed!
About: I have two pets of my own. I have been responsible for feeding family pets when they go out of town for a few years now. I am a teacher with the summer off looking for something to keep me busy! I am free most all of summer unless I make plans for myself. I am a very respectful and responsible young man. I have two cats of my own that I care for at home and love pets. With my summers off from teaching I’m looking to watch pets instead of kids!
About: First and foremost, I love animals, and I mean all animals. Anything from frogs to dogs, they’re gettin some love from me. I am super flexible in my availability. I will treat your pets like family, whether that’s some extra cuddles or a run for a pup cup. I’m good with all animals, whether they’re shy or bouncing off the walls, I can adapt and tailor to any animals needs. I am a trustworthy individual, and will provide you with pictures and gps tracked walks if requested. Thank you for considering me to take care of your family! I work as an on call employee for Moore Water and Air. On average I work about 3 or 4 hours a day, Monday-Saturday. I am off on Sunday. I am consistently available from 6:00 am - 3:00 pm during the week. I consistently will be unavailable for 3-4 hours between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm. If any care would need done after 8:00 pm, I would absolutely be available for that after my shift. I treat any animal in my care as if they were a member of my own family. My animals are very nice and well trained, they interact well with other animals but can be kept separate if need be. As far as care in your home is concerned, I will treat your house as if I’m in my grandmothers. I am used to being in peoples homes for my work and I always treat anyone’s property with the utmost care and respect.
“We have been using Sierra for over a year to take care of our cats when we travel. She has been extremely reliable and done a great job feeding and playing with our cats. She has also cleaned up when the cats made a mess and moved our mail, parcels and trash bins while we were away. Most importantly, pur cats love her.”
