About: I've always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As the owner of two huskies, I understand that pets aren't just animals, they're family. Living with two energetic huskies has given me plenty of experience with long walks, playtime, shedding, and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. My background in the military has taught me responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Whether it's sticking to your pet's routine, administering simple medications, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I'll care for them the same way I care for my own dogs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. My goal is simple: to treat every pet like they're part of my own family and give you complete peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently serving in a special shore-duty assignment with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I'm often able to adjust my schedule to fit yours. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking so they receive the care they're used to at home. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is. I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and always prioritize safe walks, secure leash handling, and close supervision during playtime. I also respect every owner's instructions, whether that means following a feeding schedule, administering basic medications, or keeping up with your pet's favorite routines. I believe trust is earned, and I'll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I give my own two huskies

About: I’ve loved pets my whole life. Caring & enriching their lives is my passion. Each unique personality deserves to thrive. I do my best to establish a relationship with your pet to promote their security. I am retired but enjoy staying busy but also relax by being with animals. I have very accepting pets that will calmly welcome your pet to my home. My pets will also accommodate my stay in your home if that is best for your pet. My 2 cats & 2 dogs can stay alone overnight if you need me in your home. I understand pets feeling most secure in their known environment. My fenced yard with pet doors allows pets to come & go at will. In your home, I will follow your normal daily schedule & rules helping your dog to feel right at home in your absence.

About: I have been asked by many friends and family over the years to help take care of their pets. I realized that it is something I really enjoy and want to continue helping others with. I work full time with a Monday through Friday schedule of 7 am to 4 pm each day. I would be able to assist in drop in visits and dog walking between 5 pm and 8 pm during the week days. Saturdays and Sundays with availability from 8 am to 8 pm. Drop in visits for feedings or play time at the owners discretion. I could also provide leash walks or simply let them out for a potty break if a fenced in yard is available.

About: Dogs have been my greatest passion since childhood. Over the years, I’ve worked with a massive variety of breeds. I have experience with all seven American Kennel Club breed groups. My background includes caring for young puppies, managing multiple pet households, and specialized care for senior pets needing medication. I treat every client's dog with the same love and affection I would give my own. I have plenty of free time to drop in, walk, feed, and play with your furry friend. I am generally free every weekday Monday through Friday. I am usually available any time of day, even night time visits depending on what your schedule needs. I should be able to alter my schedule and negotiate pet care upon request if my other responsibilities allow for it, this may include weekends and holidays. Unfortunately, my place of residence does not have capacity for overnight stays or boarding. But I would be happy to visit your pet in their home to ensure their comfort and happiness. Just provide clear and descriptive instructions and schedules and I will be sure to follow them. If I have any questions i will be sure to reach out!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in sixth grade, I am now a sophomore in college and I am looking to expand. I have had many animals my whole life, including dogs, guinea pigs, a bunny, fish and more. I have always advocated for proper care and exercise of animals and vouch to care for others animals the same way I do my own. I work a part time job at a coffee shop with shifts that usually last 4-8 hour. I have always been able to make pet care work with this schedule especially if the families live close enough. My usual routine for my current clients includes visiting once around 7:30 am, again around 11-12, coming back for dinner from 5-6 and then once more right before bedtime depending on the pet. I always make sure the animals space is clean and tidy so they are not sitting in their filth while I am gone. I refill water every time I leave and check food depending on the owners schedules. I usually spend about 30 minutes per visit with the animal to ensure they get all of their energy out and are properly cared for before I head back out but of course this varies for every one. I can take dogs for walks or play with them outside in a yard. I stick to the schedule the family provides with of course a little variation due to my work schedule but this is made known before taking a job!

“Emily was amazing! We have used Emily a few times now and will continue to do so if she’s available. As a sitter myself- I don’t trust just anyone to care for my babies. Emily takes time to say hello to them all, makes sure they all potty and give love when requested. 100000 stars here.”

About: Hello, I'm excited to welcome your fur buddy into our home. We will love them as our very own and keep them happy while your away. I've owned dogs since I was in elementary and have provided care for my family and friends. I work a flexible, hybrid schedule which makes it convenient to be available care for our fur guest. I'm off every weekend and will have a laid back daily routine for them. Walks, playtime, outside play and of course snuggles. I will accommodate each and every pups needs. I have a very safe home. Our back yard is fenced in with tons of running and exploring space. I will NOT keep aggressive dogs. If you know your dog is aggressive and doesn't get along with other dogs, please do not choose me. I have to ensure the safety for all of my babies. (Pups) As an extra precaution I ask for an updated picture of your dog's shots record. This provides transparency for all parties. I want to make sure that all if my babies are safe and healthy at all times.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old, 70 pound Rottweiler/lab rescue! I have 9 more animals and love being around them! Taking care of other people’s animals definitely helps me to keep from taking in anymore of my own! I recently moved out to st. Helena and am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to provide care! I have 10 animals, 5 of which are fur babies so I take care of them and have plenty of time to check on other animals! In your home I will be sure to make sure their bowls are cleaned and they are provided fresh water. I will be sure to clean up any mess they have made while under my care. I will play with them and make them feel loved!

About: I’ve been around plenty of small animals and animals are my world!! I’m a pet care tech for dogs at a daycare/boarding facility. I recently graduated from undergrad and work at an animal daycare/boarding facility. I work roughly 4 days a week or sometimes three it depends. My mission is to make sure your fur baby feels safe and protected while in my care. I would treat your baby as if they were my own.

About: Hi, I'm Virginia! I've been an animal lover my entire life and know that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and routine. I'm happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, reinforcing training, or making sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm currently flexible and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to keep them on their normal routine. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, potty breaks, playtime, or simply companionship while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. Your pet's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, training, and household rules so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace, provide lots of positive attention, and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve personally loved and cared for numerous fur and scaly children throughout the vast majority of my life, whether it’s reptiles, dogs, or cats, I have owned and loved each and every one of them. I currently have 2 dogs, a highly energetic and jumpy Black Labrador Retriever Mix (Rutt Butt), and an equally energetic, but 26x more friendly and goofy Pittie Mix (Roofie Doofie). I also have two cats, one loves people and dogs, and the other just loves me and the dogs (terrified of new people). I also have a male Bearded Dragon named Groot, and a baby Sulcatta Tortoise named Oogway! That is the list of who I currently love and live with. I have been working with my Lab and Pittie mix with behavior training since the since the Rutt was a puppy and since I adopted Rufus in early 2025. I’ve consistently kept them structured with simple high energy break commands, long wait, increased food/treat drive, and all-around confidence and morale boost to any low self-esteem. I am currently working on Rover part time, so I will be devoting my days off from work to your pet(s) and their needs. I am wanting to grow this into my own personal side-business as there is nothing that I consider better, than a well-trained pet under high stress environments. I have 2 overly and aggressively friendly dogs. Rutt and Rufus are some of the biggest sweethearts when it comes to meeting new people as well as new furry friends. Rutt has lived with cats his entire life, and Rufus took a bit, but he is finally completely indifferent to life with cats and loves to play with everyone! All owners and their dogs during boardings, or play dates, have to plan for atleast a 30min to an hour meet and greet and orientation so that both yours and my needs are met during visits. I am always in control during the situations, such as I am ever-vigilant of slight non verbal cues and projections yours and my pets put off in order to blossom a happy and stimulating and playful environment. I currently have a house in the Burton area with a beautiful and quaint neighborhood loop well away from all major highways and roadways. I also have about 20-30 acres that are heavily wooded with some managed trails throughout behind my house that I will be more than happy to explore with your pets taking them through for enrichment and training. I will also be in total touch with you as an owner, and me as a sitter. I know that I would love to have pictures and videos of my pet’s life throughout their day with someone new, and I would be more than willing to send you pictures and videos through Snapchat, text, or however you prefer. I encourage the youth and playfulness of each pet and I hope they can achieve their potential. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine. I have two dogs, two cats, a bearded dragon, and a sulcatta tortoise. Each of my wonderful animals have different daily needs and requirements that I strive to meet so they can be the happiest animals and meet their full potential. I have 0.5acres of open backyard that is pushed up to about 20 acres of woodlands directly behind my house. I take my own animals on daily enrichment walks through the forest to aide them in their confidence and better their motor skills.

About: Over the past 20 years, I've lived, worked, and traveled through over 45 countries. The one thing I've really missed while traveling is the companionship of a pet. I've been a sitter in both Italy and London the past few months and have had nothing but fantastic experiences meeting lots of amazing pets and their owners. I had a pet care business in my neighborhood as a teenager and worked for a veterinarian for several summers during that time. In addition, my family always had lots of big dogs when I was growing up. I absolutely love all animals and will give your pets the complete love and attention they deserve while you are away. I work in an office Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00. I am available Friday evening through early Monday morning to take care of your pets. I can care for your pets exactly as you specify. I spend much of my free time reading and walking and your pets will be my top priority.
