About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.

“Rachel does an amazing job with our Shih Tzu! She always comes as expected and he looks forward to her visits. She always leaves a detailed review of their time together along with pictures!”

About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡

About: •Dog walking: I have two energetic Labrador Retrievers . Saying so I have great patience with being pulled to smell plants or even the excitement of seeing other people being pulled. So while away you can be comforted knowing your dog isn’t being jerked or punished for just being a dog. They’ll have enough time to get some of that crazy or little energy they do have. So when you arrive home you can smile knowing they got a little adventure out of their day. •Dog sitting/Check-ins: It’s nerve wrecking trusting someone with your best friend. Having my own two dogs I would treat your baby with highest quality of care. Plenty of bathroom breaks, with time to get a breath of fresh air from being inside. Time devoted for playtime to keep your best friend busy so there will be little time for any accidents. I am currently work from home full-time with extra time in-between my schedule. I have plenty of time to do drop in visits to give your fur babies the care they need. So your time apart is less stressful on you and as well as them while missing you. Care in client home: You are trusting me to come into your home and take care of your loved one. I will give your pet the upmost respect and love you’d give. I know personally how stressful it can be wondering if someone is giving your pet enough water or being fed properly. I want to make this time apart easy on the both of you. I have such a high expectation for those who watch my dogs so i want to give your pets the best care possible. In my home care: While not being in your pets comfort zone away in a different spot. I can promise they will get plenty of love and comfort. I allow my dogs on my couch where they get plenty of cuddles as well as in my bed. They do sleep with me off and on. I know it can be a little hesitant with a little one around. But I make sure my daughter respects pets boundaries and does not crawl all over them or put them into an uneasy situation.

About: I have worked for a vet with both Cats and Dogs. I have owned Dogs all my life and currently own a rescue of my own as well as a horse. I am very familiar with both Cats and Dogs behavior from working in a vet. Services I provide: Walking Feeding-tell me how they like it(you provide the food) If you need me to check in on them I will Baths with possible brush out-Any size under 50 lbs (you provide shampoo and brushes)(Bath will be given at owners house) I will love your furry friend as if it is my own. I do have minor limitations on Cat litter as I am allergic to the dust but if you need me to sift it I can do so. I can leave you notes on how your pet did if you prefer. I have worked with dogs with Hip dysplasia and know how to help them when they need it most (i.e. helping make sure they do not fall going up or down stairs)...I help elderly pets as well and watch to make sure they eat.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day filled with cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also experienced with puppies who need extra patience, consistency, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication, or additional comfort and care. Every pet is treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love because I believe they deserve nothing less. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands. As a military veteran, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with consistent, dependable care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also believe in clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and regular potty breaks while maintaining a clean environment. You’ll also receive updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in trustworthy hands.

“Bryce took great care of Coco. He is great with dogs and Coco warmed up to him immediately. I would definitely use Bryce again in the future for my dog-walking needs.”

About: Professional in-home care with veterinary experience — walks, drop-ins, and house sitting only. I specialize in reliable, stress-free dog walks and enjoy providing pups with safe, attentive exercise Hi! I’m Sharon — a dog mom, animal hospital professional, and future veterinarian.

I know how important consistency and routine are for pets, especially when their humans are away.

I currently work as a veterinary assistant, which means I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of stress or illness, and following detailed care instructions. My schedule is flexible, and I work from home part of the week, allowing me to provide reliable check-ins, timely walks, and overnight care when house sitting. I prioritize clear communication and will always keep you updated with photos and notes so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. For safety, I’m familiar with nearby emergency veterinary clinics and will act quickly and responsibly should any concerns arise. Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

About: I’m vigilant and will keep your pup safe on a walk, will make sure they have time to do their business, and allow them to stop and smell the roses along the way. I work from home and love dogs so this is perfect opportunity for me to earn a little extra money and give a little extra love. I am used to watching dogs that need constant supervision. My husky required constant supervision during his puppy months and is now potty trained and the best boy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many varying breeds and sizes since I was a child, from German Shepherds to Maltipoms. I have experience with everything from puppies to the elderly, as well as special needs pets. I am comfortable administering medications when needed, and experienced in basic pet training; Including house breaking! I’m currently on a freelance work from home schedule, so my time is incredibly flexible. I can do days, nights, and weekends, as well as long term care when needed. I have a fenced in yard, as well as a yearly pass to Sweetwater State Park, where I spend a lot of time on the trails there. I have doggy seatbelts in the car for transport anywhere your pets may needs to go.

About: I’ve been a dog mom most of my life. I have one small terrier that I rescued 4 years ago. My last Jack Russell lived with me for 19 glorious years. I also am a stepparent to a little maltise. My dogs are like my children. I am a small business owner & I work from home. My son is also a dog lover and is more than happy to help out any way he can. I live in a house with a small yard, partially fenced in a semi private subdivision that’s also in a cove so there’s not much traffic. I am very active and enjoy being outside so long walks are my favorite.

“Erika was great. I trusted her and she delivered. My dogs love her. Thanks for all the walks Erika”
