About: My family has always had dogs and cats. From shih tzu to pitties to huskies to corgis to bulldogs, I've trained and handled a lot of pups! Additionally I've volunteered walking dogs and fostered animals for the Friendship APL since I was 11. My neighbors have even had me take care of their cats for weeks at a time. I am a stay-at-home animal parent so I'm free throughout the day and week to take care of and spend time with your lovely pet(s)! My experience with various dogs and cats makes me versatile. A young pup that needs training? A working dog that loves their long walks? An old cat that rather just snuggle up? I can cover it all.
“Shadia is great! Shadia is quick to respond to a request for a dog walk, shows up on time, can handle my very old hearing impaired dog, and follows my overly detailed instructions! 😂”

“Amanda communicates to me with our dog’s behavior and makes me feel confident that our dog is happy. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for any dog big or small, young or mature.”

About: I cared for a wonderful Pomeranian for 17 years, giving me extensive experience with small breeds and senior dogs. For the past two years, I’ve also been dog sitting a friend’s Maltipoo, who stays with me for extended periods. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for any pet, their needs are always my top priority. I’m home often, which means every pet in my care receives plenty of loving attention, along with frequent bathroom breaks and walks throughout the day. Your pet will always feel cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Every pet receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their needs so they feel happy and secure while in my care.
“Noah was awesome with Jax. He took him on a nice walk in the neighborhood and sent me a map and pictures He returned the key and returned Jax safely to his cage Would absolutely use Noah again”


About: I’ve been a cat lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old, and I’ve done lots of cat sitting over the years. I’m great with feeding routines, litter, playtime, and giving pets the love they deserve. I also have experience dog walking and dog sitting! I recently graduated college and currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets lots of attention and care. I’m available for house sitting during weekdays and can easily fit feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins into my daily routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I closely follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, cleaning, medications (if needed), and daily routines. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and playtime, while also respecting their space if they’re shy or anxious. I keep the home tidy, secure all doors/windows, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is happy and safe.
“Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.”

About: I have always had dogs my whole life growing up. Recently our two dogs have gone through a board and train program and I have learned alot from that! I’m currently working a full time job.
