About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and hands-on experience I bring to every dog I care for. I raised my own dog, Ivy, through every stage of life, which taught me patience, training basics, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may need slower walks, medications, or extra TLC. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I naturally plan my days around walks, outdoor time, and being home. I enjoy starting mornings with fresh air and walks, staying active during the day, and winding down with relaxing time on the couch — perfect for giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals feels like a normal part of my life, not an extra task In my home, I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax, play, and stick to their normal routines. They get regular walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddle time. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s schedule closely so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of feeding routines, medications, training consistency, and keeping your space tidy. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

Michael's been such an asset to our family. I have to travel for work sometimes, and can be away for months at a time. Knowing Michael will be there to walk our girl gives me such peace of mind. And getting photos from their walks really makes my day when I am feeling homesick. Thank you, Michael!

About: I was raised with dogs and responsible for feeding and walking them most of my life. My childhood home had a yard for them to play in but we would walk the dogs three times a day on vacations. One of our dogs had accidents a lot so I’m adept at cleaning up. I work from home so I can be anywhere to play and care for your babies. My schedule is flexible and my work is mobile so your pets will never have to wait for play time or walks. It’s already stressful when their parent is gone so I like to keep your pets schedule the same. If they get up early, I get up early. Simply let me know your pets routine so we can keep it the same while you’re gone.

About: I have done house sitting for animals for years. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of animals. I love walking but also love to snuggle with pets and assist with any care your pet may need. I have a few fur babies of my own and love to share the love.

Your pets needs would come first as I would try to give them the best care while you are away I currently live in an apartment with one cat and one dog. I have a small fenced in yard at my apartment and take my dog on multiple walks during the day. I can help take care of your pet in whatever needs they may have

About: What sets me apart is how attentive and caring I am with every dog I watch. I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years for family, friends, and the nanny families I’ve worked with, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I have experience with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very patient, dependable, and pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. As a recent college graduate, I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. Aside from occasional job interviews or appointments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care on both weekdays and weekends. With my open schedule, I’m able to be very attentive and make sure pets get consistent care, plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I’m very attentive to a dog’s behavior and comfort level, and I always prioritize creating a calm, safe environment. I also know how important trust and communication are, so I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is being well cared for.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.

About: I have taken care of dogs since i was in high school and have a passion for animals. I have had dogs stay with me and also have just walked dogs when needed. I am open to helping in anyway i can! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, active, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make time for updates and communication with pet parents so they feel comfortable while they’re away. Caring for pets is something I enjoy as part of my everyday life, not just a side task. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and rest so they stay comfortable while away from their owners. Pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks and exercise. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
