“Gabe stayed at our house with our dog over the Christmas holiday and did a wonderful job taking care of her, including taking her on a lot of walks and giving her a lot of affection. He was very communicative throughout the process, including sharing helpful updates and photos during our trip. It can be hard to leave your dog in someone’s care and it made such a difference to know she was in good hands with Gabe. We would trust Gabe to stay with her again without hesitation!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.

“Anna was amazing! She communicated with me the whole time, knowing I was worried about my older dog. I told her she did not need to take the dogs for a walk, yet she did. She stayed at our house while we were on vacation, but left everything perfectly intact. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me get my new focus started, I'll offer you a $20 discount and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!

“Liz did a great job getting out cat and dog to feel relaxed in her presence, so nice to see pictures of them being happy and not worry while we were away.”

“Ciboney was responsive and attentive to our two older dogs. One of them does get stressed easily, and she was kind and patient with them. She was respectful of our home and left everything tidy and clean. Will be rebooking!”

“Cari is great with my boyz - they settled in easily with her and she gave really nice updates while we were away. Very mature, responsive and responsible- the kind of person you want watching your fur- babies🥰”

A few more things: -Im comfortable helping new puppies/kittens/adoptees learn any house rules and practice manners with positive reinforcement. -Im capable of administering medication with proper instructions. -Im capable of assisting elderly and/or disabled pets with a gentle touch Please reach out with any questions! I’m currently working part time and make my own schedule so I am very flexible.

Your pets safety, and comfort is my top priority. I will always strive to not only meet your pets needs but make our time together something your pet looks forward to!

“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”
