I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care.

About: Hi! My name is Kendall, and I am a dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family.

My services include: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * Pet sitting * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and enrichment * Basic medication administration (if needed) * Frequent photo and text updates Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am organized, reliable, and intentional about managing my time.

Before and after work, I am available for walks, feedings, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time with pets. On my days off and weekends, I have additional flexibility to accommodate longer visits, pet sitting needs, and extra playtime. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding services in my home. However, I am happy to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can remain comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
“Steve was wonderful with Mac over the past few weeks. He took excellent care of him and paid close attention to Mac’s cues, helping him feel safe and happy during their walks. Mac was always happy to see Steve at the door—a sure sign he was having a fun time. Thanks again, Steve! :)”

I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs! I am available throughout the week, including weekends, and can provide consistent supervision, exercise, feeding, and administer medication if required. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I work hard to maintain their normal schedule while you're away.

I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, and plenty of affection to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you're apart.

About: I’ve been taking care of different animals for some years. I have always been a reliable call to come and check up on cats, or take care of pups while owners were away. Being sure to give them lots of love and give them the opportunity to use their energy. It is important to me that pets still have their routine and comfortability as they did before. So keeping up with their usual schedule is a way for them to still feel at home, or safe while their owners are away. I’m available week days after 5 and weekends after 1 pm. I am around and have a flexible schedule to work around if need be! I’m happy to take the time caring for your pets! I’ve visited homes to take care of pets and always made sure to only focus on their fur baby. Coming over to give attention to the dog or cat. Being sure to welcome with a friendly face and smile and if challenges arise, I am patient and willing to work with your pet until their feel comfortable enough to comply.
“Natalie was a godsend when I had to go out of town and my family was unable to get our dog out for proper walks. And she came despite the frigid temps! She was super communicative, happy to help and seemed to enjoy our pup. Definitely booking again!”

About: Growing up, my family had a few dogs. I raised two from puppies and also adopted/fostered a few from shelters. It’s been awhile since I’ve owned a dog, but I’ve been helping a coworker with theirs consistently over the last few years. I would love to help other families as well! I currently work part time, 4-5 evenings a week. I am available most mornings and can be pretty flexible during the day. My 2-3 days off are pretty flexible as well! When I am watching a pet, they have my full attention. I love to play with them and take them for walks. On my walks, I do not wear any form of earbud or headphones, so I am fully aware of our surroundings.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses, and have always had pets of my own. I’ve worked with both large and small animals and also studied animal science, which helps me understand their behavior and needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, and I’m comfortable caring for senior pets who may need extra time, gentleness, and consistency. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and keep communication clear with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, playtime, and any special needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. Walks, check-ins, and quality time are part of my everyday life. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet. I have a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time (for dogs), and inside my home is quiet and pet-friendly. For cats, I make sure they have a stress-free space, clean litter boxes, and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m very reliable and communicative, sending regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.
About: In addition to owning cats and dogs my whole life, I work at an emergency vet clinic. I love all animals and can't wait to meet yours :) I work full-time at a veterinary hospital while preparing for veterinary school. On my days off, I am available for drop-in visits as well :) I unfortunately can't take any additional pets into my home, but I love to meet pets at their level. Sitting on the floor with a dog is one of life's true delights.

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea! My husband Nate works from home and have a mini golden doodle that loves new friends. I have a large yard for dogs to play and typically book one overnight client at a time so I can give them the proper attention they need. We are currently only accepting non-shedding dogs. My pup, Milo, is extremely social and loves all dogs! He loves to play and loves to meet new friends! When watching dogs we go on walks every day, play lots outside, and love to explore new parks/dog friendly areas. I have a very clean home and have plenty of room for your pup. We both grew up raising dogs of our own and have experience with several breeds and personalities. We go on walks every day and get lots of time outdoors. One of us works from home each day of the week allowing us to have plenty of attention on the dogs we are caring for. I am flexible, easy to work with, take direction very well, and will send plenty of pics if you’d like to see your dog while in our care! :)

“We cannot thank Lindsay enough for taking such wonderful care of our dog while we were away! It’s always hard to leave our pup, but Lindsay gave us total peace of mind by sending daily photos and updates. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly loved Lindsay. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive, and loving pet sitter, she is the best. We will definitely be booking her again!”
