“Laurana was amazing and our dog really loved her! We needed someone to walk our dog as I had just started a new job and had long training days. Laurana gave us lots of updates and photos and didn’t mind my requests of making sure the tv was on and adding extra treats to his Kong toy. We will definitely book her again when we need extra help! :)”


About: I have 8 years of experience being a veterinary assistant and 10+ years of caring for dogs/cats of my own. I’m capable and more than happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may require! I have a lot of experience with oral and injectable medications. I’ve cared for pups that have had epilepsy, dietary restrictions, and anxiety or other behavioral concerns. I currently have class sporadically throughout the week but my husband works from home and is happy to fill in any gaps I may be away from the house. We are both happy to devote weekends entirely to your fur baby. My husband and I can be available select weekdays and can be flexible around your schedule with a little heads up! We have a large fenced in yard and two friendly pups of my own to keep your pet company. I’m also happy to work with your pup on training or learning new tricks.

About: My name is Holly, I am a 20 year-old animal lover. I have been house/pet sitting for the past 6 years. I have taken care of a large variety of dogs, and other animals. I have taken care of other peoples dogs, cats, chickens, fish, goats, cows, horses, pigs, and sheep. I have also had personal experience with rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, and a variety of reptiles. I am very reliable and a quick thinker. I can solve most problems on my own, but I also know when it’s time to ask for help. I am coming home from college for winter break and will be back during the summer too. I will be working at cinnabon in VRC, but I have always made my schedules work. I plan everything out to the hour and that is how I was able to have 5 jobs during Covid and still manage to get straight As. If you have any questions or concerns, I am more than happy to answer. In my home, I have a fenced yard for my beloved dog. He is a big dog so I usually take him out to the dog park or up to fall creek.

“Sydney has been prompt, communicative, and great to work with! Our Arlo has been well taken care of and he looks forwards to each and every walk.”


“This was a last minute booking because our original plan fell through. Ashley didn’t hesitate. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and we are going to use her going forward.”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

I could take your pup for a walk any time those days or pencil them in for an evening walk in the beginning of the week! I will leash walk your dogs for all our adventures. If you have a fenced in yard at home then we can play there too!

Jocelyn L.
“Jocelyn's exceptional veterinary experience makes her an incredibly capable pet caregiver. I as a veterinarian have worked in emergency animal services alongside Jocelyn. She knows how to handle stressful situations and manage medical needs. Jocelyn clearly adores animals and understands the special bond between owners and pets. Her empathy and dedication to compassionate care is evident in all her animal handling. Owners can trust that Jocelyn will attend to their pets just as they would - with patience, affection and vigilance for their health and happiness. I'm confident she will go above and beyond as a pet caregiver to give our 4-legged friends a safe, enriching and positive experience.”
