“Erica was great! We only needed her for two drop in visits since we were out of the home for about 13 hours. She came over a few days before to meet out r pups and see how to take of Bowie (he recently tore his ACL). She sent pictures and wrote report cards for both of her visits. We’ll definitely have her hang out with the kids again ?”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I've walked and sat my neighbors, brothers, and family friends dogs and cats whenever they leave town or want to have a day trip. I'm currently in my first year of Chiropractic School at Palmer. Pet sitting is one of the ways I like to use my free time. It also fits in my schedule very well. I know every animal is different. I like to get to know them better and build there trust by playing with them or taking them on a walk.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 14 years old. For my 14th birthday I asked for a dog and we named him max. Max was a Maltese and he grew up with epilepsy and sadly passed away when he was 5 years old from the disease. I now have two 3 year old dogs one is named Charlie and he is a lab mix the other is named king who we recently adopted from the shelter and he is a pit mix. I am well experienced caring for all kinds of pups! I am currently trying to build up my customer base for my new dog walking business called QC Paws On The Go. So I am very dedicated to finding people who need a little extra help making sure their pup gets everything they need on a daily basis! I can only offer services at the clients home. Unfortunately my newly adopted dog named king is quite reactive and territorial due to his troubled past of abuse and neglect. I can offer daily walks or if your pup likes to stay at home I can come by and get some play time in the yard and any other care that is needed!
“Sydney was great with Jax and Gemma. They can be very excitable but after being away and cared for by Sydney they were calm when we arrived home. She was very communicative while we were away and I could tell by the pictures she sent that they enjoyed having her look after them! I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a sitter and will definitely be booking her if we go away in the future!”
About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.
“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”
About: I have had a dog since I was a young child. My love and passion has always been animals. I have pet sit for friends and family. I have always had multiple pets in my home that I have cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies and give them potty breaks and the attention and love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs to keep your dogs safe and give them company. I also have a dog crated if needed and lots of toys.
About: I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past, and to find someone that was available when I needed them. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most. My pets are my world, so know I would treat yours like their my own and love them just as much as you do and make them feel at home. I know how hard it is to leave your pets alone with a stranger so I like to always do a meet and greet before watching your pets, so I can get to know your dog and you before taking that responsibility and giving you peace of mind! I want to point out I have a full time job, I do work 7:30-4:30, and work from home Wednesday to Friday. Please keep in mind when you’re booking with me. I’m free on the weekends and most weeknights. Most Thursday and Friday nights is iffy because I bake for the farmers market and sometimes have too much to do to be able to help out those nights. Please feel free to message me with any questions I love nothing more than making my own dog happy by having other dogs over to play and love being able to spend time with other people animals and give them the attention they need when their owners are out having fun. I would love to know if your dog needs kenneled or can stay out if I am gone, or to know what I need to do for them if I need to leave them. I would be able to take them on walks, play with my dog, anything you want I can do. I won’t take any dogs to the dog park.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
“Shes amazing! She took wonderful care of my babies and let them out multiple times while she was here and shes very communicative. My cats even liked her which was a huge win in my book 😊 Highly recommend using Karyn for any doggie needs!”
About: I have worked at a kennel for the past few years, lots of experience with handling multiple dogs at once if required! No job too big, no pup too small, paw patrol I’m on a roll! I have experience with giving medications, whether that be insulin or pills it is no worry for me! I currently have no other job, when I do get one I will update my hours as soon as possible! Whenever you need someone to care for your pet I will be there, and if those times change feel free to just send me a text and I can adjust! I tend to do whatever is needed of me. If I must house sit, I will ask for a list of things that you require to ensure when you return home you have nothing extra to do! I will get out some toys, and will always be sure to clean up afterwards. I am capable of bringing my own lunch so I will make sure I clean after myself as well.
