About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: Because I've had dogs in my family my entire life, caring for them is second nature to me. I have extensive experience feeding, walking, and providing daily care and affection. I've regularly stepped in to dog-sit for friends and neighbors, easily adapting to each pet's unique schedule and personality. I am more than happy to take your dog on active walks to burn off extra energy. You can count on me to be a highly organized, responsible, and caring companion for your dogs while you are away. I currently work a part-time schedule of just four hours a day, Monday through Friday, which gives me tremendous flexibility to dedicate to your pets during the week. My weekends are completely free, meaning I have wide-open availability for full-day care, overnight stays, or taking your dog on long weekend adventures. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am a highly organized and detail-oriented person, so I will strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, house rules, and safety preferences. When watching dogs in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and keep a close eye on your pup at all times.

“Excellent dog care while I was away. Practiced good communication and timely updates to keep me feeling content and secure. Very friendly with my fur baby.”

About: With over 10 years of professional pet care experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My background includes managing the Canine Behavior Department at the Humane Society, where I specialized in working with fearful, reactive shelter dogs. I also led the New Beginnings program, teaching incarcerated men how to safely handle and train dogs preparing for adoption. In addition to pet sitting and daycare experience, I have veterinary technician experience caring for both dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’ve trained dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments using patient, positive methods focused on building trust and confidence. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra patience, medical awareness, or simply loving care while you’re away, I bring experience, reliability, and genuine passion to every animal I work with. I am available full-time to care for your fur babies, which allows me to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day and night. Don’t worry about your pets having to leave their familiar environment or stray from their routine. I provide personalized care, training, and enrichment for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Sheila did a wonderful job looking after our very shy cat and very patiently read to her and got her comfortable. We highly recommend her services. She also very timely in all visits and sent some great pictures!”

“One of my rats unfortunately passed while I was away but Alex was quick to inform me and handled everything as I asked. Despite the tragedy, my remaining two rats and cat were doing well when I returned, and I received thorough reports and pictures throughout my trip that made me feel assured that all of my pets are being well cared for. Will definitely have Alex take care of my pets again!”
