About: What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each pet - I take time to learn their routine, quirks, and what makes them happy. I’m reliable, caring, and always aim to make their time with me fun, safe, and stress-free. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally- morning feeds, walks, and playtime are part of the daily rhythm. On the weekends, I do things like bathe and cleaning up their space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely. I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while keeping everything clean and consistent.

About: I am a retired Vet Tech of 35 years. I worked with companion animals, farm animals and occasionally birds, pocket pets and exotics. I now work remotely from home and want to continue caring for and enjoying all animals. I'm here to snuggle and care for your fur-babies when you can't be there. I'm available for dog walking on the weekends or weekdays evening and for daily drop-in visits for cats and caged pets any day of the week! Since I work from home, fitting the care of your pets into my schedule, is very doable. I have 1 cat and 1 dog (oh, and a husband, lol)! Dog waking is limited to evenings during the week and anytime on the weekend. Daily drop-in visits for cats and caged pets can be done any day of the week. I will consider limited boarding in my home on a case by case basis that we can discuss. I have a large yard, but not fenced in. My dog is a house dog and gets walked on a leash for potty breaks. We also have a dog trolley line to use for when we want to hang outside.

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 25 years. I worked with dogs, cats, birds and other small animals. I also spent my whole career working as a wildlife rehabber. I have canine and avian training and behavior experience. I have lots of experience in pet/ house sitting and can provide recommendations and references if needed. I will care for you pets as if they are my own. If you need someone to care for your horses, goats, chickens, or other farm critters I have plenty of experience. I am currently a at home baker. I sell macarons at the local farmers market on Saturday mornings. I can adjust my schedule as need. I don't normally board at my home but will make exceptions for some pets. I have my own pets to consider when making this decision.

About: As a passionate pet lover, I can assure you that your pets are in great hands. If your pets appreciate special love and attention then you have reached the right person. I have grown up with pets and have had a pet throughout most of my life, so pet care comes naturally. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and I love them all. If your pet requires walks and playtime I am more than happy to offer that and more. I have an incredible passion for pets so love and care will be what they will receive. I retired a few months ago, so I am available for pet care 7 days a week for as many daily visits as would be needed. Overnight stays at your home or mine can be an option. Prior to my retirement, I was able to pet sit part-time. Now I am available and excited to be able to help more people with their pet care needs on a full-time basis. In your home, your pet will have the same loving care that you give them. But beware, they may get a little extra spoiled under my watch.

I provide pet care services either at my home or through drop-in visits, including overnight stays at the pet's own home. I have a 3-year-old child who is very kind and gentle to our animal guests. Before an initial booking, I prefer to do meet and greets to ensure that it is in everyone's best interest.

About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.

“Hailey was so great with my baby!! Sent me pictures and updates and was super responsive and sweet. Thank you so much for everything🤍”

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Jade and I am an avid dog enthusiast and college student. I currently own a 1 year old Australian Shepherd and boy oh boy does he have energy. Before him I had another Aussie (female) who acquired cancer around 7-8years old, because of this I have sadly become very skilled with working with sick/hurting dogs. I also love to train dogs, my current Aussie has a Novice Trick Dog title from AKC and we are working on his intermediate title while learning Conformation skills and Therapy dog skills. I am very patient with the pups and am a big believer in positive reinforcement. My Aussie is registered and I am very good friends with his breeder who is very knowledgeable in this field and is always happy to lend a hand. Currently I have no dogs at home, because I live in Tennessee for college and my Aussie is back with my family in Texas. Thanks for your consideration!! I’m currently a student, so I have a very flexible schedule in which I can take care of animals in your home or mine! I love walking dogs (I live in a safe-gated apartment complex) and chilling on the couch with sweet cats! I have a large apartment, and can take the dogs on long walks to suit their needs. I’m diligent about always feeding and watering animals before myself and am fully committed to the wellbeing of the fur babies in my care!

“Our dog absolutely loved Ali! She is very kind and responsive. We will definitely be booking her for our walking and sitting needs.”
