About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Darin is a great friend to animals and goes at their speed which is important for one of our girls who is unsure of everything. He is also communicative and reliable. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Michelle is wonderful with my new rescue pup, Harriet. Michelle is on time, treats Harriet like her own fur baby, and is a great communicator. It’s so nice to have peace of mind knowing Harriet is in loving and responsible hands. Thanks, Michelle!”

“Chloe is dedicated to walking my pup who loves her. She braves all weather conditions and schedule changes with a good attitude. My dog Sophie gets the zoomies after every walk.”

“Lindsay is incredible. Our pup loved her as do I. I trust her as does my pup. She was mindful of a meniscus issue that my girl has by allowing her to dictate a much shorter walk, and instead Lindsay stayed with her for the remainder of the scheduled time to love and play with her inside. She thoughtfully filled her water bowl before leaving, and sent me a the most wonderful pictures of their time together. I will be scheduling a weekly standing with her.”

“Elizabeth has been very responsive and was great during our meet and greet. She has been very patient with my dogs behaviors and will be using her regularly for walking services.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: Raised on a large family farm, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes and there hasn't been one I haven't loved! I have soooo many years of experience with caring for all different kinds of pets. I've owned horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, turtles, fish and have over the years helped with the care of others' as well as plenty of other farm and small animals. I even have my own temperamental pup coexisting with 2 kitties, so I have good intuition seeing signs of stress and pets feeling "off" before it turns into anything. rest assured your pets are safe with me! I've been working on a career shift and I'm looking to be able to spend more of my working hours with your pet! I currently bartend part-time and am working on trying to do less of that, so I have plenty of extra time to care for your BFF when you are unable to! I will treat your pets with the utmost respect and love and will follow any instructions needed for their care and can send updates upon visits! Your babies are my babies, too!

About: Ive always loved taking care of all different animals! I have about 8 years of experience with animal care allowing me to perform a variety of tasks including administering medication (pills and ointments) and caring for injured and elderly animals. While housesitting I have had the opportunity to take care of vegetable gardens and even small scale farms in houses across the country. I am currently staying in Connecticut through the fall as my partner works remotely in his grandmothers house. I have full flexibility, tons of experience, and would love to help out in anyway I can! I have a big fenced yard that is perfect for throwing the ball around in or playing tug of war. I love going on walks around the neighborhood, across the levee or through the parks.I really would like to adopt a dog but have not wanted to commit to one as I don’t not know where my life will lead me in the next 5 years…however dog sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time and care for dogs as if they were my own!
About: What’s sets me aside from other sitters is that I have had not only taken care of dogs and cats before, but I have also taken care of cows, pigs, turtles and many other animals aside from cats and dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your loved ones! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. I am also available for two full days durning the week that can be flexible for your schedule. I have access to a fenced in yard. I do not have any children or other animals so my attention can be closely addresses to the ones I am caring for. Feel free to let me know if you would like anything done to help you feel more comfortable. :-)
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I believe they teach us unconditional love, help us stay present, and enrich our lives in countless ways. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, though I have a particular appreciation for larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. Over the years, I've spent countless hours learning about canine behavior, training, and communication to better understand their needs and how they experience the world. My beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Bella, was my companion for 13 wonderful years. During the last five years of her life, she lived with diabetes, requiring twice-daily insulin injections, regular veterinary care, and cataract surgery. Caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing consistent, compassionate care—especially for dogs with special medical needs. I understand that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra care and attention, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and responsibility that I gave my own. I currently work from home while building my real estate investment business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be attentive to the needs of the pets in my care. My day typically starts between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. with meditation and exercise, followed by work from my home office. Because I set my own schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. If your dog is boarding with me, I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine and can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I care for pets according to their owner's preferred schedule and routine whenever possible. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure, whether they're in my home or their own. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while maintaining the routines and boundaries that are important to both the pet and their family.

Madelynn is absolutely amazing with my dog Kissez. Kissez is not always the easiest little dog to handle, but Madelynn has been patient, dependable, and has truly stuck with her. Now Kissez gets excited and looks forward to her visits everyday. I can definitely see this becoming a long-term arrangement. Madelynn is trustworthy, caring, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter/walker.
