“Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.”
About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.
About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

About: I’ve taken care of animals as far back as I can remember. Growing up we had horses, cats, dogs, and even pet crows at times. I’m a huge animal lover and currently have two cats of my own. I’d love to have a dog also but not quite ready for that full-time commitment…I’m happy to be able to help others with their dogs as I am able! I have been asked by friends and family members to house sit, do check-ins, dog walks, etc and I truly love it. I do work full-time but work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I would be more available to do boarding, check-ins, or walking in the evenings and on weekends. Currently I have two cats so i don’t have any dog crates but would have plenty of space for you to bring your own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but will do regular leash walks. My cats are pretty friendly but could be contained in the basement if need be.
“Tricia was fantastic! She spent time with Ember and it showed. Ember wasn't as frantic when I got home. I know she's had a good break during the day if she is calm. I'd have her watch Ember every day if she lived close to me!”
About: I make sure to do all the activities that your pup likes to do to keep them occupied. I feel leaving them. Home is better for their mental state than dropping them off somewhere where they don’t know where they are. Lots of loving and all of my attention goes to the babies while I’m there. I currently do not work and my schedule can be made mostly around the needs of the employer. My son is at school 8-3 but he would be willing to help with animals also. We have a fenced in yard but also go for walks. I have no problem with walking multiple times a day or whatever other needs the pet has.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds and all sizes for my entire life, i grew up on a 40 acre working farm and i have also worked as a veterinarian technician and have over 20 years experience caring for Animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, peacocks, chickens, horses, goats, rabbits, ostriches, elk, deer, and more! Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.
About: I have been in the veterinary/boarding field for about 8 years. So I have experience working with all sorts of animals (different sizes, ages, and behavior). I can administer any medicines comfortably. I have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, small pets (Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, etc.), birds, fish, farm animals (goats, chickens, ect.) and frogs. I am also comfortable doing baths, nail trims, and teeth brushing if interested. I currently have three cats and three chihuahuas. I have always loved animals and I am eager to meet so many new clients and their pets! This is a dream of mine and so glad it is becoming a reality. I would also love it if you could leave a review, so I can make sure you were satisfied or if there was something I could work on or improve. Thanks! I currently work Monday-Wed. 7:30 to 5 and Friday 7:30 to 3. So I am off Thursdays and the weekends! My husband also works 3rd shift so he can help out during the day as well. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for running around! I like to have open communication between clients so they feel at ease with their fur babies being taken care of.
About: I have owned animals in my house since I was 7 years old. I also animal sat for family and friends while they were on vacations. I currently do not have a job. I can take care of animals anytime and any day of the week. I also have a reliable vehicle to get to and from scheduled times. I currently live in an apartment so I can't take animals in my home, but I can and will provide the best care to another person's animals like they are my own at their home.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 3 and a half years now and have a beautiful 11 month old daughter I plan to share my love of animals with. Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Receptionist but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Tuesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts are usually from 10-4pm or 12:30-6:30pm. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish from the ripe age of 10! I have had animals from the size of teacup yorkies to the size of Rottweilers so size doesn’t challenge me. I currently work full time Sunday-Wednesday and find myself with a lot of free time the rest of the week so I’d love to get to play and help with your best friend as much as I’m able to get I am able to follow all the rules you provide with your best friend and am able to accommodate with any requests to keep you stress free!

Sarah B.Star Sitter
“Sarah is a true pet lover and has experience taking care of many types of pets! She is a parent to both children and fur kids and is very responsible and can be counted on to provide the best care. She has helped take care of my cats when I have needed and I would not hesitate to recommend her to all pet families!”

Faith M.
“Faith watched our dog R2 for approximately 1 week. She took the time to become acclimated with his surroundings before we left. She also spent time getting him to trust her before we left. This was a huge relief as R2 does not warm up to people very easily. She spent much time throwing a ball(which is R2s favorite activity) but also took him for walks. She let me know (as scheduled with her in advance) just how he was doing. I would recommend Faith to care for your pet as i will be using her in the future also.”
Brittany M.
“Brittany is very caring and has a lot of knowledge about animals. Brittany has even given me great advice about dogs when I asked for help. I am a first time dog owner and I go to Brittany when I need advice or help. I have struggled having a dog and with Brittany's advice I have gained the confidence I needed to raise me dog properly. Take it from me, I know it's not easy to leave your beloved animal with just anyone... I will honestly say, I will let Brittany babysit my big pup without a second thought in my mind any day and every time she is my first choice. Thank you Brittany for being so caring and great.”
Lia H.
“Lia did great with our puppy. She takes the time to love and be patient with her and we look forward to booking her again!”
Emma M.
“Emma was a great fit for our fur baby. I would highly recommend Emma and will use her again.”
Ross G.
“Ross is GREAT with my fur baby! She always knows that she is going to be spoiled with love when he is around. Ross is great on walks (even though our good girl isn’t the most experienced on a leash), and does a good job of engaging with her/rewarding her throughout the walk. Ross clearly has experience with dog manners/basic dog training and isn’t nervous around bigger dogs! I would trust Ross with my pupper ANY day of the week — and know that she would be extremely well cared for!”
Sami L.
“Sami has been taking care of our dogs for about 5 years now, we could not be happier! We have 2 dogs, both big girls, a St Bernard and a pit bull, they absolutely love her! She stays at our house with them and not only takes amazing care of the dogs, but she take good care of our house as well. She also cuts their nails and baths them when needed! When she walks in the dogs go crazy over her … we would highly recommend Sami for all your dogs needs!”

She is loving and trustworthy. As a pet owner herself, she has trained her dogs well and provided lots of advice to me and my family. She always followed our instructions which gave us piece of mind knowing they were safe and well cared for when we weren't there. Our dogs were always excited to see her!”
