“First time that Amanda has taken care of my rabbits and everyone involved seemed to enjoy it. She was able to help me last min and followed my posted directions. Will contact her again next time I need help.”
“My cats adored her! They are usually timid around new people, but my cats could tell she had good energy and came to enjoy her company and let her give them all the attention! My cat threw up and she went above and beyond and cleaned it up for me! Seriously will hire again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Emma did a great job keeping me updated on my senior pup. She send detailed summaries of the visits and sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely book her services again!”
“Adrian was great in scheduling a meet&greet, on-time, and quick response time. She did two check-ins for my pup while I had to be gone the entire day. I got pictures and she was on time and hung with my pup. Water bowls were filled (it was a hot day) and she even offered to feed her din. Def recommend Adrian!”
About: I have grew up with dogs all my life, and had a very demanding great Dane for eight years of his life, and I am now going through the journey of Owning a cat, I Shadowed in vet clinics before so I know a little bit and that Area. I love bathing animals as well. I’m not sure why but I’ve always wanted to be a pet groomer. I do have a full-time job, but am currently working to get a more animal centered job. I am currently available Saturday and Sunday anytime, and anytime after 7 pm weekdays. I personally believe I am a guest in the animals home so treating everything with respect and making sure I have my attention on the animal in the best way shape or form while giving them love and attention.

About: I've been around animals my whole life, from having up to 8 dogs at a time in my childhood to cats and even pigs. I have a lot of experience with training and caring for animals, I even know how to preform the heimlich maneuver if an event were to occur. I love animals and would love to work with your pet(s)! I currently work as a lab technician but my hours are very flexible and I'm able to leave when I need to. Most of my nights and weekends are open as well. I take walks daily and love visiting parks and would love to take a pet with me. I do have a yard that is pretty shaded and there is a dog park not to far from my home as well as a beautiful hiking trail.

About: Caring for pets has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Animals have always held a special place in my heart.

If that’s something you’d like done during your furry friends stay, just let me know! I have weekend availability and some weekday availability where I could be home all day with your furry friend. I can accommodate to a schedule that fits your Pets needs I have room in my home to accommodate a crate if your dog needs one otherwise my house is childproof and dog proof, so you never have to worry about your furry friend getting into something they shouldn’t.

( our furry friends ) I currently have an older Australian shepherd who I regularly take on adventures and a energetic pit mix who loves to run . 😄 As Well as a corn snake and Bearded Dragon . It would be an honor for you to trust me with the your little dudes. (Or big) 👍😊 I’m currently enrolling into the vet-tech program at the local college , thus meaning my schedule is pretty open for me to spend lots of time with those who need me . You can trust I will follow all rules you put in place and will never allow your pet to be put in harms way . I will treat your pet like he/she was my own and give the upmost respect to your boundaries as well as your pets . I would never go beyond the boundaries of anything we don’t discuss and will always keep your pet SAFE.
