About: I have worked in zoos, wildlife rehabs, and shelters for over 5 years. I am well-versed in operant conditioning training and provided medication to many species including dogs, cats, and birds. My schedule is very flexible, so I can drop by to care for your pet in your home anytime that fits your schedule! I am not available for boarding pets at my home at this time. I am unavailable for long term stays, e.g. longer than one week I always take into account the owner's preferences for their pet. I will adapt to the way you want your pet to be cared for. With my background in the zoo field, working inside specific parameters is how animals get the best care in the way they are used to.
“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”
“I used Wendy's drop-in service to watch my cat recently and I am very pleased. She clearly loves animals and my cat took to her instantly, she was punctual, sent pictures and went above and beyond by bringing in the mail and cleaning up after when my cat threw up. I highly recommend Wendy and will definitely use her again.”
“Jana was an outstanding pet sitter for our 2 cats. She sent great photos every visit and you could see how well cared for they were by their happy eyes and forward whiskers! She was consistently on time and the litterboxes were spotless when we returned. It is great to be able to leave my pets in her loving heart and hands! I would most definitely book Jana again!”
“Kristen was wonderful! We were so worried about leaving our cat and got home to a happy and healthy boy!! Thank you Kristen! You’re wonderful, as our cat likes very few people. We especially appreciated the pictures you’d send of Bradley. Thank you!!”
“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job watching my cats this past weekend. She was willing to come to the house for a meet and greet the weekend prior and checked in with a Rover card and sweet photos of the cats during her drop-in. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.
About: Avid animal and Jesus lover! I have been around animals all my life! I grew up with multiple cats and dogs, and I currently have 3 cats that are my pride and joy! Within the past 3 years, I have also started horseback riding and volunteering at local animal shelters. I love taking care and spending time with animals, and I would love to watch your pets! I have frequently watched animals for friends and family members in the past, and I'm always excited to make new fur friends! I work a typical 8-5, Monday-Friday job. Other than work, I am usually at home spending time with my animals. I would be able to watch and board your animals anytime during the weekends, and after 5 PM on weekdays I am available! I have a fenced backyard with 3 friendly cats that would keep your fur baby company! I also have plenty of room to separate my pets from yours if need be. I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take your pet for walks and spend plenty of time outside!
“This is my first time using this service. I didn’t know what to expect. I had reach out to others and either never heard back or they just didn’t explain the process clearly. Finally I found Candice. Candice explained everything from the beginning to the end. We had a meet and great with Candice. She is a very sweet and loving person. I feel like we struck gold with her. She stayed in communication with us the entire time she was sitting out dog. She sent us pictures and even went above and beyond. In the pictures we can tell our dog was happy and comfortable with Candice. We are so grateful for her. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again. Thank you Candice!!”
“I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Alexa took with my senior kitty. She was kind, responsible, communicative and definitely made my vacation worry free. It’s so wonderful to know you can go away and count on someone to be there for your furry family member.”
About: I love animals and have loved them my entire life. I believe that animals can touch the parts of our hearts that no human can. I love walking dogs and enjoy taking them out to explore the great outdoors. Every pet has a personality that is uniquely their own and discovering each and every one is a joy. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep your pet healthy and happy until you return. Here's a link of an example of a typical walk. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/Vzk8zN8pcX0 My availability is fairly open so that I will be able to give quality care to your pet. I do have experience walking dogs for family members (four at a time) and I love how excited they get when they find out they're going for a walk.

Avonelle L.
“My mother has 6 dogs and is in her seventies. Avonelle was very caring and helpful and walked the dogs just about every morning and was able to give my mother a break. The dogs loved every minute especially Lila and her son Moses. Moses would literally playfully try to take the leash out of her hand, he was so excited! Afterwards the dogs would be tired, but happy. I would highly recommend her to any pet parents.”
