About: I did not grow up with pets due to family members allergies. I have always wanted one and finally got my first pet, my cat Oreo, 3 years ago. I can’t imagine my life without him! He loves to play and snuggle. I have been trusted to take care of neighbors and friends dogs and cats. I have walked dogs and checked in on dogs and cats while their owners are away. I will snuggle and play with them as well as take them on walks and clean litter boxes. My cat has needed oral liquid medication and oral pills that I have given him successfully. So I have experience with giving oral medication. I would love to take care of your pets and give them the same love I give my own :) I currently work full time Monday-Friday. I would be available after work and on weekends to check in on your pet. I would love to fit some check ins or dog walking into my weekly routine. My evenings and weekends are pretty open! I live in an apartment, so I do not have a yard for dogs to run out and play. But I am more than willing to take dogs for walks and or let them out in your yard to run and play.
About: I have grown up living with 2+ large dogs in the house always. I am a huge dog lover and love animals in general. Recently I have also become a cat owner. I’m currently a full-time student and part-time employee in a management position. I am looking to get a little more income and broaden my experience with pet care. I will not provide in home pet care. I will instead be able to come to clients homes to care for their pets. Thank you!
About: I have always taken care of my roommates and friends dogs like my own. Looking to walk, watch, and love on your fur baby this summer! I work as a nurse with rotating day/night shifts and opposite weekends. Get my schedule a month at a time, can be flexible with advanced notice. Super tidy and respectful. Understand that privacy and safety are important when taking care of a pet in somebody’s home. Have also found pets do better in their own environment!

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for pets for over 30 years. From playful puppies to chill lizards and chatty birds, I’m dedicated to making sure pets of all kinds are happy and getting the consistency that the need while their family is away. I’ve worked with pets of all personalities (yes, even the dramatic ones), and nothing makes me happier than seeing them truly enjoy life. Pets are family, and I’m here to make sure they get VIP treatment every day. I work full-time as an educator, which means I have evening, weekends, and school breaks free! I am able to be flexible for day-time check-ins as needed. :) The care and safety of your home and pet are of utmost importance to me. I treat your home as a guest would - no visitors and no mess. Trust and consistency are really important to me and I don't want anyone to feel anxious about being away from home.
“Lindsey was great! Very caring and Sydney loved her right from the start. Kept me update on the stay and very responsive. Will book again!”
About: My name is Kelly and I love animals. I always tell people that if I ever had a windfall of money, I would buy land and run a rescue. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. My pets are not animals, they are members of the family. I currently own 3 dogs and 3 cats. I would rather be surrounded by animals, than people. I am a loving and responsible pet owner, looking to expand my business. I have always trained my own dogs. My dog Damon is trained to respond to hand signals, as well as verbal commands. I believe all dogs can be trained with firm words, patience and lots of love and treats. Both my dogs will be excited when you come to visit, but they are just happy to have new friends come visit!! After being around you and your dog for a little while, Damon and Teddy will be their normal happy, affectionate and playful selves. I would not provide services in my home if I didn’t have 100% confidence in my dogs behavior and temperament. Would love an opportunity to share my love and compassion for animals with you and your fur babies. I would love it if you would give us a chance. The only thing I am absolutely firm on is that your pet must be 100% chill when it comes to being around my three cats. Thank you. My schedule is flexible, your pet may be home with mine for 4-8 hours during the week, but I am home most of the time on the weekends. In my home I have a fenced in yard for the doggos to play. We would go for walks and I would follow whatever schedule you prefer.
About: I love animals and have had many ranging from cats and dogs to lizards and horses. My parents always made sure I was responsible for my own animals and now I am the owner of 2 cats. I had a dog growing up that I helped train as well as helping my dad out on his farm with his dogs and all the other animals. I raised one of my cats since she was a kitten and she was not the first kitten I had taken care of so I do have experience with young animals. One of my cats is also now on the older side so I do have experience administering medicine to animals and taking care of senior pets. I have also had to give medicine and take care of a bearded dragon for an extended amount of time before. I'm currently a student and work part time however I do have quite a good amount of free time that I am able to dedicate to taking care of your pets, especially during my breaks when I will be free all the time:) I will follow whatever instructions I am given regarding pet care and will treat your pet and home with as much care as if were my own:)
About: I've had pets my entire life. From cats,dogs,fish,turtles,hedgehog,snakes, birds you name it I've probably owned it or have taken care of it! At one time we had 16 different animals in our home and the neighbors and their kids would come over to hold them,play with them and learn about them! I love animals more than I probably like humans lol! I have a keen intuition with them and feel like I can feel what they are feeling a lot of the time. Animals are easily attracted to me and they warm up to me real quickly. I have done pet sitting in the past and have always got compliments on how well I take care of animals. I go above and beyond to make sure animals are safe and loved! I have my own business so fitting your schedule into mine will be very easy. I interact with humans a lot on a daily basis and want to get back into caring for animals so I'm very flexible with my schedule Daily walks, daily play, feeding 2-3times a day. Lots of kisses and petting and a lot of talking to them as well. Take them to the vet regularly and give medication when prescribed. Make sure their environment is safe to play in and roam around in. I'm open to all needs of pets.

“Haley has been a pet sitter for me many times, caring for my cat, Sunny! She is kind, compassionate, and communicative, and she always sends pictures to show me how Sunny is doing, which makes being away from home a bit easier. Sunny is very comfortable with Haley too!
