About: Hi! My wife and I love animals. We currently offer drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting (mainly on weekends). We are very compassionate about animals and would love to keep your pet company while you are away. Both of us work mostly remotely, so we have a flexible schedule and can adjust to your pet's needs. We personally own 3 lovely beagles, so there is no such thing as too many pets. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or for a meet and greet! We would love to check-in on your pet for either a brief or extended stay, whatever you have going on. Willing to accept pets with any medical condition, and willing to administer any prescriptions they might need. All that we ask is that you let us know about any behaviors (i.e. dog-reactive, loud noises, not good with children etc.) so we can ensure a safe environment for your pet. Thanks for considering us! I work from home and my wife works remotely several days a week, so we both have a very flexible schedule and can adjust to the needs of each individual pet we care for. We ensure that we fully understand the daily routines and living arrangements of each pet so we can keep their routines the same while the owner is away and ensure a safe environment.

About: Animals are my safe space, they’ve truly helped me my entire life and caring for them is so incredibly rewarding. Fur babies truly are amazing! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to check up on the animals!! I have a very flexible schedule as well, I will work with you! I have lots of animal toys, as well as lots of hands on experience playing with animals! I will more than happily play with them just with my hands/arms💖

About: I have always had a dog or two for pets during my life. I would not know how to be without one. I have just recently become a lover of cats, too. My son has 4 and I find myself wanting to visit them often. I look forward to coming home after work and seeing the joy in my dogs eyes that I bring them. I would love to bring that same joy to your pet. I would be available to visit your pet from 3pm to 10pm during the weekdays and I am open on the weekends. I would love them and care for them like they were my own. I am patient. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet! P.S. I do not have a Facebook account. I would rather spend my time with people, friends, family, my pets and animals. Please contact me through email. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I work at the school as a librarian. I am available after 3 on weekdays,and all day on weekends. I am very flexible and reliable. I have a huge yard. I have a sweet little Morkie who would keep your dog company. I would provide security and love to your dog.

About: I have always had a pet in the house since before i could walk. I love every single different type of pet and have had just about every type of pet you can have. I am a super active girl so I would love to hangout and play with the younger hyper pets but I can also relax and take care of the older senior pets. I have trained all my own dogs but i wouldn’t call myself a pro. But, if I could help out and I needed to help train i would be more than willing to. I am currently working part-time for 2 different jobs right now, but still have a ton of free time to be able to take care of your pets! I am not actively in school so the only schedule we have to work around is my work schedule but that should be to hard:) I would be able to walk the dogs and could quickly learn their routines and what the owner preferences are. With cats I would help with litter boxes if needed and would gladly play and hangout with the cats. Along with the dogs aswell of course.

About: I had family pets throughout my childhood that I would help take care of. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own! they are both two years old and have a ton of energy. I have a very flexible schedule with my other job. I am mostly always available to pet sit or take your dog for a walk, unless I am traveling. I have an adorable friendly golden retriever and high energy ausiedoodle that always wantto play, I have many toys and treats, and a crate if needed. If your fur baby needs anything specific gladly let me know!

About: I have been walking and taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old, ranging from small dogs to huge dogs. I have experience with my own senior dog and am sensitive to the needs of dogs who are old or have unique health issues. Additionally, I have experience with other types of pets like insects, arachnids, amphibians, and reptiles. I am currently between jobs, so I am available for pet care needs on both weekdays and some weekends. I have a very open availability and I am happy to shift my schedule to match you and your pets' needs! At your home, I can take your pets outside on or off-leash, or let them out into a fenced-in yard with supervision. I enjoy sitting with and keeping pets company, even when they are relaxing or sleeping. I will work with you and your pets' needs in your home to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. :)

“Vlad did a great job with my two dogs, Lily and Leo. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. It was my first time leaving my dogs alone and I was a little uncertain how they'd react, but everything went perfectly. Vlad even improvised a little bit - I hadn't anticipated rainy weather and he handled just fine, locating some towels in my garage and drying the dogs off. He stayed in communication with me with every walk. I would recommend him without reservation.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since the age of 9. I can give meds, walks, and scratches for a good fur baby. I have experience with senior dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule at my full-time job. I am great communicator to coordinate the schedule that is needed. There is freedom in what I do. I will always go by a routine that is provided. Its important to keep feeding and walks on what your animal already knows. I love animals and fell patience and calmness is important.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love playing and walking dogs of all size and breed! Dogs have no problem approaching me :) I don't mind dogs jumping on me, I love a playful pup and old dogs that just love to cuddle up. I love teaching dogs tricks and having them show off their tricks to earn rewards such as a belly rub or treat. Dogs are mans best friend and I believe that dogs deserve nothing but the best. We have so many friends and opportunities, however dogs only have us. They look forward to a visitor and walks and play time and I am more that willing to give dogs exactly what they need want and more. Thank you. I work mostly remote so I have high flexibility during the week as well as the weekend. I would be happy to take a break during my work day to help out! We bought a house with a fenced in yard specifically for our dog(s) and we love being able to give that that space to play. Fence or not, I can sure you I will care for your dog the same!

About: I have worked with animals at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where we house dogs, cats, and even birds, bunnies, or hamsters. I worked there for two years, and I have grown up with & been around both dogs and cats my whole life. I am currently a full time college student but I have a lot of time after classes in the afternoon and evening, as well as free time on the weekends, to accommodate. I can provide treats, toys, and love to a client’s fur baby. I’m able to take dogs on walks and potty breaks, feed and administer medicine to both dogs and cats, crate a dog if needed, or snuggle up with a client’s fur baby.

About: I have been watching both dogs and cats for family and friends since I was about 13, and I love animals. I have experience with giving medication, and I make sure to give lots of attention to the animals! I'm a student at Illinois state, so I am free most weekends and afternoons, and I have time to take care of pets while I'm off for breaks! I always make sure to give dogs and cats everything they need and more, including plenty of walks, snuggles, and attention! I always want them to be as happy as possible!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and many other pets as well. I have also worked at a pet resort for over a year. I can provide senior dog care, I can care for aggressive dogs, scared dogs and even some with disabilities. I can also provide nail trimmings and nail grinds for your furry friends as well!!! I am out of school and graduated so I am pretty much free at all times of the day as well as weekends and holidays if needed!!!

About: I have a lifetime of experience providing trustworthy and loving care for dogs and cats, keeping them safe, active, and healthy. I’d love to provide the care your pet needs while you are away or tied up at work. I’m a 65-year-old retired former Marine, grandpa who loves dogs and cats. I am looking to supplement my Social Security. I would love to provide reliable care for your pets. I care for all dogs and cats in a loving compassionate and patient manner. We can discuss your pet’s needs, and I will follow all instructions accordingly.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep understanding of animal care. I grew up with dogs—specifically Alaskan Malamutes—and helped my parents care for them, giving me hands-on experience with large, strong, and high-energy breeds. I’ve also been my sister’s go-to caregiver for her dog, looking after her consistently from the puppy stage into adulthood whenever she’s away. In addition to my experience with dogs, I currently care for six cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, litter box upkeep, medication, or just giving them the right kind of attention, I know how to create a calm and comfortable environment for cats as well. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in their owner’s absence. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for six cats of my own, so feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, and monitoring behavior are all built into my daily routine. I'm also used to looking after my sister’s dog when she’s away, which means I regularly take time for walks, playtime, and keeping up with their needs. Whether it's mornings, evenings, or weekends, I have the flexibility and experience to provide consistent, attentive care that fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment that mirrors their usual routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box or potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or extra cuddles. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s keeping your home clean and respected or making my own space feel like a second home for your furry friend. Regular updates and photos are always part of the care, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Looking for someone to walk your dog or need someone to visit your dog while your away? I am reliable and responsible, allowing owners to feel secure in their decision to walk/board with me. Whether following medication instructions, or their night time snuggles, the care of your pet is important! I always send pics and updates with any visit and have the opportunity to fall in love with my job everyday, spending time and bonding with your furry friend! With my experience, any size from small to large breeds are welcome. The care of animals is extremely important to me and something I take great pride in doing; I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you. Feel free to reach out and set up a Meet & Greet! I am available Monday through Friday early mornings, late evenings and including weekends all day. Please reach out if you have any questions! Looking forward to talking to you and helping take care of your family pet! ☀️ I will treat your dog with love and care. We will walk near your home or wherever your dog’s favorite walking path is! Upon returning from our walk, I would clean their feet if the weather calls for it, take off leashes and would love to give a treat and give a few more loving pets before I go.

About: I have been working in the veterinary field for around three years, so I'm versatile in taking care of different animals and their respective needs. I'm currently working full time in the veterinary field, but am able to be flexible with weekends and some days during the week to accommodate a new part time schedule with pet-sitting! I have one dog and three cats in my home. I have a cage that isn't used very often for my boy, and plenty of toys and treats to go around!
