About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: From birds to cats, rabbits to cockatiels, and of course we cannot forget the occasional beta fish— I love working with animals and having pets. Growing up with many large breed dogs for 25+ years, I’m very comfortable with any size animal and I’m always up for the challenge. I love spending as much time outside with my own pets, so getting some exercise and going for walks is always my priority. My goal is to make you feel comfortable knowing that your furry (or feathery) family members are taken care whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I’m currently working from home so I’m readily available to make sure your pet gets full attention. I typically am up early in the morning, so starting the day with a walk outside is my go-to routine. I’m super flexible throughout the day as well. Every pet owner is different, but making sure our pets are safe and taken care of is my goal. Whether you need them boarded up or to stay off your garden— I got your back and will make sure they stick to their normal routine. This way everyone is comfortable, happy and safe!
About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!
About: I have worked with animals all my life, including caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses, cows, and reptiles. I grew up providing basic first aid for my pets on my farm including bandaging, medications, and baths. I have worked with dogs from small jack russel terriers to large livestock guarding dogs. Most recently I helped my mom rescue and retrain a geriatric blue healer/beagle mix. This includes potty training and basic manners on and off the leash. I also administered medications 2x a day in the form of pills. I have also had experience giving injections for medications. I am well versed in all types of animal care, a quick learner, and great at following instructions. I’m a new stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I have 2 dogs of my own so adding more into our routine just makes sense! I love to explore, hike, and go for drives. It’s even better to do these things with a furry companion. Let me show your furry friend the joys of nature and lots of love and care.
About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs in our household. Currently I have two adopted cats of my own. I love caring for animals. I have some flexibility during the day to care for your pets. I can adapt to changes as needed. I typically have limited weekend availability. I will provide reliable and loving care for your pets. I am flexible to accommodate your preferences and follow your preferred routines to help your pets feel the most comfortable.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I'm attentive to each animal’s unique needs and have a calm, gentle approach—whether it’s playing with an energetic pup or giving extra care to a senior pet. I’m also reliable, patient, and happy to follow any special routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe and loved. I teach ESL online, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to work from anywhere. That means I can stay at your home and be present throughout the day to care for your pet—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m able to build my routine around your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet sitting, which means I can stay at your home to provide consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: I have owned dogs nearly all my life. (40 years). I currently have a Shih Tzu, named Tucker. I have groomed, trained, and rescued dogs for the past 20 years. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. I am a homeschooling mom and normally I am home with the children. We may need to run an errand, but usually can bring Rover along. I have a fenced in yard and have a male Shih Tzu, named Tucker, who adapts well with most furry friends. We go on one long walk per day (sometimes to the park!)

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”
