“Kaylee has started doing weekly walks with our dog and she has been great to work with! She's quick to respond to messages, flexible, and fun to chat with at pick-ups/drop-offs. We are looking forward to continuing to use her for walks, doggy daycare, and boarding in the future!”


About: I am honestly a caretaker of all! I have taken care of many different kinds of animals, and my love for them is immeasurable. I could never imagine treating an animal wrong and I am very trustworthy. i can handle lovable social as well as the antisocial I only like my person kind of animals. They all deserve love and I don't scare easily. I'm not very good at writing about myself so please contact me to know more! I have a very flexible schedule! I am currently available more full time hours, I work in the school district so once the school year starts I will be down to part time. I can work with you with whatever is needed! I will take care of the fur babies in your home following all of your instructions word for word! I take care of all animals with extra care and love because they all more than deserve it. I have worked in home in many different jobs and am very respectful of where I am and the rules placed. I do have references.

About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!

About: I’ve always had pets and currently have two goldens and a cat. I absolutely love animals and now that my own human kids are grown I have extra time on my hands and I’d love help you spoil your fur babies. I’m happy to walk them, sit with them, play in the yard or whatever helps them feel loved when you’re not home ❤️ I work as a parapro in the mornings in a special education preschool classroom so I have availability in the afternoons, early evenings, and on weekends during the school year and will add morning availability in the summer! I am excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I am unable to care for your pets in my own home right now but am happy to drop in and let yours out to potty, feed them, play fetch or other outdoor games, go for a walk, or just sit and snuggle if that’s what they prefer 😊 I am also comfortable giving medications if need be with instruction and a demonstration from you. I previously had a dog with diabetes and am experienced in giving insulin injections.

About: I have been around pets my whole life. We have a one year old Australian shepherd as well as cats. I grew up with large dogs as well as small dogs. No dog is too energetic and no cat is too shy for us! I work 9-5 M-F but come home after work and go for walks and runs! Pets are priority and I love to care for them before and after work. We have a tie up out in back, most of our exercise though is done by walking or running always on a leash. There is also a dog park nearby that is always empty on at least one side which is perfect for running around.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a child, so that gives me 30 plus years experience. My 2 children and I stay at home all day and can give your beloved pet the love and attention they deserve. I have plenty of backyard for them to run in, a nice neighborhood for walking and of course I can come to your home if thats the job needed. My 2 children LOVE dogs and will give them plenty of attention! They will get lots of exercise and cuddles here. Please send a message my way! I would love to hear from you and meet your fur babies! You can rest assured your pets will be in good hands while you enjoy your vacation!

About: Hi there! I grew up in a household where the family business was dog hair and dedication—my parent is a professional AKC dog handler, so I’ve been around show dogs and working breeds my whole life. I have hands-on experience with large breeds, especially working dogs, and know how to keep them happy, safe, and engaged. By day, I’m an elementary school teacher and equestrian coach—which means I’m very patient, love a good routine, and I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes and handing out treats! My real passion is showing horses, but animals of all kinds have always been part of my world. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a little extra TLC, I bring a calm, confident presence and a whole lot of love to every visit. I currently have availability in the evening and weekends. I am an elementary teacher so starting in June I will have more availability during the week! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m always thinking two steps ahead—whether it’s double-checking gates, watching for signs of stress, or anticipating how a dog might react in a new situation. I believe pets are happiest and most confident in their own familiar environments, which is why I prefer to care for them in-home whenever possible. My goal is to keep your pet feeling secure, calm, and cared for at all times.

About: I currently have 2 dogs which I help to take care of. I have grown up around dogs my whole life so I have plenty of experience. I am not currently working and I have a lot of free time, so most of the time I’m available. Can usually work around your schedule. I have two dogs in my home which are friendly. I’m willing to come to you and I am most likely local to you based on my settings so it shouldn’t ever be an issue.

About: We have had pets for as long as I can remember. I pet sat as kid for neighbors frequently, riding my bike to play with dogs and cats, and feed chickens. My kids all also love animals and are eager to help your pet feel at home, away from home! We have a blue heeler/ border collie who roams in and out of the house, and can easily be kept apart from any dogs we are watching here. We LOVE taking xare of animals, and are learning more with every experience we have pet sitting, and sad every time to see them go! I love having extra snuggle buddies around, and can't wait to take care of your furry friend. We are a homeschool family, and usually home. My children love animals and we love playing with new animals whenever we can. We love to go for walks and hang out in our yard with our dog, pigs, and chickens. We have frequently watched a dog, and she fit in very well here-- we leashed her for potty breaks, crated her when we had to leave, and she roamed the house while we were home.

About: I have had pets my whole life in addition to caring and loving other’s fur babies when they have needed a trusting caring person to be with them. From my own to caring for my friends, family and neighbors pets, I have experience with everything from hermit crabs, hamsters and lizards, to birds, cats, dogs and horses. In most cases, my love for animals is greater than my love for people, and I do my best to ensure not only my pets but the pets of those I take care of are treated with all the love, kindness and care I can give. I work full-time remotely where I can make my own schedule in most cases. This makes it easy to care for pets on a schedule and time that best fits them. The best thing possible is to make sure the pet feels the most comfortable to cause them the least amount of stress and anxiety as possible.

About: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments from playful puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement, to senior pets who require gentle handling, medication, and extra patience. I’m attentive to every pet’s unique needs and personality, and I pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. I’m comfortable with leash training, administering medications, and managing dietary needs or routines. What sets me apart is my mix of practical skills and genuine love for animals I treat your pets like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm currently nannying and occasionally house sitting. So my schedule is pretty open meaning I have a lot of time to be with your animals. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely to minimize stress mealtimes, walks, medication, and favorite toys or cozy spots all matter. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards, with cozy resting areas, secure doors/windows, and safe spaces for shy or curious pets to explore. I always keep a close eye on behavior, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. Your pet’s well being and your peace of mind are always at the heart of my care.

About: We have plenty of property for animals to run and play! And a large home that is welcoming to humans and animals! We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies and chickens!

“Sue was so great! She took excellent care of our Greyhound JJ and was so quick to fill in for our normal sitter on such short notice (even over the holiday season)! Sue really loves the animals she cares for and it shows! She spent lots of time with JJ when she came over, even hanging out with him inside since it was so cold and snowy outside!”


About: I’ve owned my own dogs for over 10 years and grew up with a family dog. I love them and they deserve more than laying in kennels for hours on end every day. My husband and I live on some beautiful acreage with lots of exercise and sniffing opportunities. Your dog will be engaged in our everyday life and feel like part of our family! We are home during the day and am available for potty breaks, meals and long walks. We have great resting places in the house when your dog needs a break. We’re pretty intuitive to dogs needs and have the flexibility to care for them. We don’t have a fenced in yard but have a lot of land, and as long as the dog is trusted, they are free to run around near the house, under our supervision. Otherwise we’ll do leashed walks around the property with lots to sniff!

About: I’m looking to get outside more and would love some four legged company along the way! It’s a win-win, your pup gets out of the house for some fresh air and fun, and I get a great walking buddy. I grew up with two huskies and a rat terrier, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from energetic to easygoing. These days, it’s just me and my cat at home, so I’d really enjoy spending time with your dog and making our walks the best part of their day! I’m currently working part time as a hairstylist and trying to build my clientele so have a good amount of free time, I would be free anytime Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and sundays When I take your dog on a walk, I’ll be patient and ensure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy every step of the way.
