About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and the families I babysit for have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away! I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, giving medications when needed, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time in medical sales, so my schedule varies throughout the week. Because I plan my own territory, I’m able to be flexible for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits with advance notice. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure they receive dependable, loving care. I pride myself on being punctual, responsive, and treating every pet like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most secure. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and respected, and provide regular photo and text updates while you’re away. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or just keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. You can count on me to treat your home and your furry family member with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Thank you so much! Sent photo updates, was prompt, Phoebe loved her walks! I had thrown my back out and needed quick help and Victoria delivered!”

About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home. I provide updates, follow instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety and well being at all times. I’m currently a nursing student working part time, but I have a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. With summer break coming up, I’ll have significantly more availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate more daytime care during the summer. I’m reliable with scheduling and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of proper introductions, routines, and supervision. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

“Ellen is THE BEST! Super friendly, responsive, flexible and my dog loved her!!! Will absolutely reach out to her again next time I’m in town!!!”

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last 11 years as a Paramedic and, while I love helping people…I love helping animals too! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a child, animals have been a central part of my life. My family often took in dogs and cats in need, and I even bottle-fed orphaned puppies and kittens many times, helping them grow strong and healthy. Those early experiences shaped my calm, patient, and nurturing approach to animal care. Being a Paramedic has taught me how to remain calm under pressure. Also, that no one person is the same and will respond the same. Every person is unique. I believe animals are the exact same way! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood—especially while their family is away. Whether your pet(s) are energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and adjust my care to meet their needs. From walks and playtime to quiet companionship and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and highly communicative. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I always prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear updates. I’m happy to send photos/videos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. We can even FaceTime! Although I’m currently unable to have pets of my own where I live, that has only deepened my appreciation for every opportunity I get to spend time with animals. Caring for pets is something I truly love, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I would be honored to care for your pet and provide the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. 🐶😽 What I Offer: - Dog & cat walking (structured or relaxed walks based on your pet’s needs) - Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship - Pet sitting with attentive, in-home care - Care for dogs & cats of all temperaments 💛 My Care Style: - Patient and gentle approach for all personalities - Focus on safety, comfort, and routine - Calm presence for anxious or shy pets - Active engagement for energetic pets - Always respectful of your home and instructions 📸 Communication Promise You’ll always receive: - Regular photo updates - Clear check-ins after visits - Fast responses to messages - Honest communication about your pet’s well-being 🌟 Why Pet Parents Choose Me: I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely care for them.

My goal is to keep your pet(s) happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities.

I will carefully follow your pets normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, proper poop scoop and disposal, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care instructions you provide. I know that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect that I would my own.

About: I have taken care of others’ dogs since I was 19 and grew up with dogs all my life. I also am aspiring to become a vet. During summer and breaks from college, I can take care of pets pretty flexibly and will work around your schedule as needed and as conveniently for both parties. Depending on what is needed, I can do daily walks and crate as needed. Feeding, changing water, and playing with pets are a given in my care and any extra care I can try to accommodate

“I love Jillian, and so did Calvin my big labrador boy. He was always in a great mood when I got home because she took him on such great walks, and gave him a little biscuit afterwards and filled his water bowl.”

About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

“Kat was fantastic! We made a schedule for twice daily walks of my beagle mix Philippe while I recovered from surgery. Some days I was in such pain I'd ask her to feed Philippe so I wouldn't have to come downstairs. She was just perfect and Philippe loved her! Couldn't recommend anyone more!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. My last pup, Pooka, died a few years ago after living around the world with me for 16 happy years. So I'm an empty nester looking to love on your pets until I'm ready to get one of my own again. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities and even some special needs. I work from home in a sizable house on a flat topped mountain. I already take 1-2 walks during my workday to stretch my legs. Other than that, I'm a huge homebody. I’m currently living up on a mesa in the middle of nowhere. Plenty of room to run and chill. The space is not fenced so I can keep pups on leash, if needed.

“Bandit really looks forward to Marlena coming to walk him.”
