“Came home to a happy dog and clean house 😊 Larkin did a great job with our dog and sent pictures while we were away. We could tell that he had a great time and felt at ease with Larkin!”

“Arya obviously had a blast and made a new bestie! With the hurricane and everything happening Oliana was an absolute champ! We will definitely be booking her again soon!”

“Danielle was kind and very professional. She treated our dog just like he was her own and even sent updates along the way. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“My dogs were disappointed when we got home because they wanted to spend more time with their bestie, Emily. It was so comforting knowing that they were being well cared for while we were gone! The consistent photos and updates were very appreciated!”

About: I have cared for pets of my own and for neighbors and friends for years. I am comfortable with different sizes and temperaments. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including consistent feeding schedules and medication. I am home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can provide consisten walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On walks, I prioritize safety by staying attentive, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure dogs get the exercise and care they need at a pace that is comfortable for them. Caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping routine with animals and keeping the owners updated while they are away.
“Kara did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away! She is very responsive, and sent pictures and updates while she was pet sitting. She did everything we asked and more!”

“Shelbie is wonderful! I was on a trip out of state and she made sure my kitties were fed, and loved. She was very responsive and took lots of pictures while she cared for them. I would recommend Shelbie to anyone in need to pet care.”


About: I lost my own dogs a few years ago, so now I get my dog fix from other people‘s dogs. I take care of dogs like they are my own “children” which is how I referred to my own dogs. Many people have said I am a dog whisperer because I can get dogs to do things owners are not able to do. As I work full time, I make sure dogs get their daily exercise and lovings. While you are away, your dog(s) will be well taken care of with no worries. During the school year, I work full time from 7:30-4 Monday through Friday. I make sure animals have what they need before I leave for work and meet their needs when I return home. I am not able to come home in the middle of the day. During the summer break, I am available all day as I am not working full time. After learning the routine your animal(s) follow daily, l follow it to make sure they stay safe and healthy. I treat your pet(s) and home like it is my own.
About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was 4 years old. I've done extensive research on pets and what kind of care they prefer, what kind of diets are healthiest for them, and all the details that bridge the gap between their domestication and their primal instincts. I will provide loving care to dogs, cats, and other small animals like birds, hamsters, rabbits etc, and I will leave your house in just as good, if not better, condition than I found it! I work almost full time, but my schedule at work is very flexible, so I am available on weekdays and weekends. I can take animals on walks if needed, or just be there to feed them and let them out daily. I am very flexible in terms of what services I offer, as it depends on what services you need! I can come and petsit at your house, and I can even spend the night if you just don't want your fluffy friends to get lonely. I can board for certain pets but not all, so it is best to message me directly about what you are looking for!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8-9 but I grew up with old English bulldogs, and pit bulls. Always playing, taking them out on walks, keeping them active. My schedule is open. I’m a gym manager at Planet Fitness Tuesday-Saturday. From Noon-8pm But I can work around my schedule if you needed me too! I have 2 Australian shepherds, Maggy & Tucker. They are very spoiled babies, I feed them when I leave for work, they get both dry and wet dog food. When I get home I refill there dishes with dry food, they gets treated of course. Take them out on there night walks, or we go on a drive.
