Shannon was great help with her drop-ins. I can definitely tell that while she was looking after my dog he enjoyed it just as much as she did. Her reports were very detailed and left me at ease while he was in her care. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in the future!

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family, including pet sitting in my home, staying in their homes, walking dogs, cleaning kennels, and bathing. I also have three years of hands-on experience working at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This experience has given me strong skills in handling, supervising group play, maintaining safe environments, and understanding dog behavior. No matter the situation, I’m happy to work with your specific needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I truly love caring for animals and enjoy spending time with them outside of my regular work hours. Whether it’s the smallest pup, the biggest dog, or even cats—I love them all! I have plenty of love, attention, and care to give, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. As a pet owner myself, I know you want the very best for them—and that’s exactly the level of care I strive to provide. Your pet will be treated like part of the family, receiving all the affection, cuddles, and attention they could ever want.

About: While I don’t have official experience, I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I would watch my neighbors dogs when they went out of town. I’d love to spend some time with your pets this summer! I’m a recent college grad looking for some short term work for the summer before moving in August for my post-grad job. I’m available to drop in and walk your pets or spend a bit more time with them while you take a break! Happy to stay with your pets all night or just drop by for a walk mid-day! I’ll follow you and your pets lead on how far to go, how long to play, and what to do!

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, always having a beloved pet by my side. With years of experience as the go-to pet sitter in my family and friend group, I take pride in giving animals my full, undivided attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time walking and playing with all types of pets. I am committed to providing reliable and dedicated care for your pets, anytime and anywhere you need me. As a full-time pet sitter, I’m just one message away, ready to meet your needs. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I ensure they are well-fed, hydrated, and never miss a potty break.

Whether it's for my own pets or those I care for as a sitter, I dedicate specific times each day to feeding, walking, and playing with them. My focus is on providing loving, personalized care that meets each pet’s unique needs. I maintain the pet’s routine, following specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life! I treat my cats like they are my children and I would do anything for them! I would take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I also love dogs, I've had many dogs in my family growing up. I don't have the living space needed for a dog while living in an apartment. I would definitely have one if I were able! That's a big reason why you should let me pet sit for you! My availability is pretty open right now. I want to do a little something on the side besides other projects that I'm working on. They say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life! Pets definitely make me the happiest!! I like to keep the living space clean and sanitized, I clean litter boxes every day. I pick up poop while on dog walks. Also, while dog walking, if there's another dog near and the you're dog seems uncomfortable or threatened, I would move to the other side of the street or walk the other way to remove ourselves from the situation. Most animals, if not all, trust and love me back!

About: I’ve had various of animals my whole life. I’ve had animals of all scales, from cows & horses, to lizards & ferrets. As well as training various of dogs from all different breeds, I understand your “scary” dog, as well as your sweet little lap dog! Between my previous employment at a boarding facility and my current employment at the animal shelter, i’ve worked and handled many different personality’s and breeds of dogs and cats. I’m still a senior in high school but i’m only there from 10 AM-1 PM. I also have a part time job at the animal shelter, I typically only work from 2-5 on 1-2 weekdays. So I have plenty of time in the afternoon after school (if I don't work), plus some time to get a walk or two in after school + work on weekdays! The days I don’t work I can come to your home right after school. I work 9-5 on weekends but i’m willing to come hangout with your fur baby’s after work! I unfortunately can’t have fur babies come to my house, but i’m more than happy to come to you! I will keep your dogs on leash if you don’t have a fenced backyard, unless informed otherwise. I will also bring your pups on walks, I will keep them on leash, and use an extra leash if needed.

About: I have had my current dog Olive for 12 years. Earlier this year, Olive's buddy bear passed away at the age of 12. My whole life I have been around dogs and cats. I am not allergic to any animals and would be comfortable with any breeds. Let me know if you need someone to pop in to potty, feed, or just love on your animals. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow for more than one drop in during the day or in the evening. You can rest assured that I will treat your pets and your home as if it were my own and how I would expect someone to treat mine.

About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.

Alex did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She provided updates each day and communicated well. Our cat has been a bit under the weather lately and gets very stressed when we are gone so it was a relief to know someone was providing him with loving care. We would definitely book her again.

About: I’ve been around and caring for, all kinds of animals my entire life. Nearly all the animals in my life have been rescued, namingly, cats and dogs coming from all different walks of life. I have experience across the board with all different breeds, ages, needs and disabilities when it comes to both cats and dogs. I love interacting with new dogs (and breeds) and I find it hard not to pet a new kitty! I have experience issuing medications, treats, or dealing with wound care if needed, crating, scheduling for behaviors ie: potty breaks, walks, etc.. I love to hike and walk, so taking your dog (or cat) for a walk is right up my alley, weather permitting per owner preferences. Right now, I am a full-time psychology student and I can work from any location. My two cats are strictly indoors. However, my dogs are crated indoors when in suits (they are large dogs). We live in town, whenever they are taken outdoors, they are taken on a leash and when they are taken for a walk, they are also taken by a leash. Both dogs are seniors and prefer the indoors, so they’re mostly house dogs at this point. We have an upstairs and a downstairs in our home. Since our dogs are getting older, we now have dog beds placed in multiple places, since the stairs are getting difficult. As for the cats, they have multiple cat trees, several toys, multiple cat boxes and more than one eating station throughout the house! They may be pets but they are family!
