About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog and cat I meet 🐾 I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm to keep them company, I’m happy to match their routine. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like my own with lots of love, patience, and photo updates along the way 🐶🐱 I’m a full-time school nurse during the year, and with summers off I’m looking forward to spending my extra time caring for pets too! I’ve always loved animals and have a very flexible summer schedule for drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention for your pets while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, feedings, litter box care, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and extra attention based on your pet’s routine and personality.
About: With hands-on experience from working at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m active, strong, and trained in reading animal body language to ensure safe, patient care. I love providing enrichment and helping nervous pets feel calm and secure. As a devoted pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so my availability is wide open! I love having furry company during the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Morning, afternoon, or evening — I’m flexible and always happy to make time for extra belly rubs or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to learn every detail that matters — from quirks and favorite toys to the words and calls they respond to best. I ask plenty of questions upfront so I can follow their routine exactly, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I respect each pet’s personality, whether that means lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or both. I also treat every home with the same care and respect as my own, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.

About: I’m dependable, patient, and truly love animals. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to fit their needs — whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or maintaining a training routine. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra reassurance. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, which means I’m best available in the evenings throughout the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins or walks during those times and always make sure pets get attentive, unrushed care. I communicate clearly about availability and scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and household guidelines. I’m respectful of your space, make sure doors and windows are secure, and always double-check that everything is safe before I leave. I keep a clean environment, refresh food and water bowls, maintain litter boxes, and monitor behavior for any changes. I also provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 10. I am often called the pet whisperer by family and friends because their pets often do things they don't normally do with people they don't know well. I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate the needs of the pets to walk and feed take care of them from daily to weekly where needed. At this time I do not have any yard space or ability to have pets stay with me at my house. I am willing to stay at the pet owners home if needed or stop by for their care needs.
“Julia did a great job walking my two midsized dogs! She made sure they took care of their business outside, rewarded them with a treat, and made sure their water bowl was full. I would recommend her if you need your dog walked.”

“Jeffrey watched our dog for a week while we were on vacation. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup who was clearly well looked after. Communication was great, with timely updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful for the attention and care given. We recommend and would book again!”

About: I have been a rescue mom for 6 years and I grew up with large breed dogs at home. I have been a praise-based trainer for 3 years and I LOVE my "job". My fiancé and I own our home and have a secure, fenced in yard with a ramp to make it easier as our dogs get older. Our personal dogs are seniors and are very low key and friendly. Everyone is allowed on the furniture, even though they have their own beds. My dogs are on a special nutrition regiment and I can provide the same to a guest. The safety and comfort of everyone in our home is my main concern. I am able to separate your dog if necessary while providing plenty of attention and care. I have experience training with many different breeds, personalities and behavioral issues. If your dog stays in my home they will be treated like family.
“Giving sarah 5 star review is easy. She's prompt and responsive. I was happy to check in our camera system and see her sitting with and attending to my sweet old girl.. she fouled instructions to the tee and left any detailed information on my pooch and what she did at the house.”

About: I have many years of experience working with dogs, cats, and horses. I grew up horseback riding, volunteering at 4-H events, and helping at our local animal shelter, which has given me a broad and hands-on background with all kinds of four-legged friends. Whether it’s caring for farm animals, taking a neighborhood walk or check-in, or administering a shot (as I’m a Type 1 diabetic and comfortable with injections), your animal’s needs will always be my top priority! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday. On weekdays, I’m available in the mornings from 5:00–7:00 AM and in the afternoons/evenings from 4:00–10:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available any time on both Saturday and Sunday! **I may also be available mid-day on Thursdays and Fridays upon request.** I am custom to feeding, crating, walking, or letting animals out of a pen. My two cats currently are what we call, “Spoiled Rotten,” as they are my family members! With the passing of our family’s German Shepard a few years ago, daily walks, feeding, and even the casual car ride were some of his favorites. With this being said for our known house pets- I am also familiar to outdoor pens; water troughs, electric fences, stables, etc.
About: Hi, my name is Janessa. Not only am I a dog person; I love all animals. I grew up with 2 dogs, a cat and horses. I will show your dogs the same affection as my pets and love them as if they were my own. Currently I am working part time and have lots of availability during the week to care for your dog. I am flexible with the time as well. I enjoy walking dogs and love playing and exploring with them! Exercise is so important for every dog’s health and well being. I will provide the best care possible while looking after your dogs.
About: When my dog was a puppy I’d train him, but made sure it was like a game. He now sits politely for scratches and food. I do have a part time job at the moment but I can provide pet care just about any time and day with advance notice. I have experience with crate training, preparing treat toys, grooming (such as brushing, trim, ear cleaning, dental) and I will follow feeding instructions as needed.
About: I have been a pet owner for twenty plus years including cats, dogs and parakeets and chickens. I have been taking care of others animals for the past fifteen years. I love all animals and wish I could save all of the ones I see at animal shelters. My goal is to keep your animals taken care of properly and to make sure you know they have loving care. My rates can be flexible depending on how far away you live and the time frames needed. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have. I will treat your pets the way I would want mine to be treated if they were being cared for by another person. I currently have open availability and can normal accept with just a days notice.
