“Katie was great! She left detailed notes about her visits with my cat, took some pictures & did additional kind tasks that she wasn’t asked or expected to do such as bring packages in from our front porch. Will absolutely be requesting services from Katie again when we need them. I feel confident that my cat will be a content boy when we get home because of Katie’s time!”

“Jessica has watched a number of my dogs over the years. She is always so sweet to send pictures, videos, and updates while I am gone. She does awesome with drop in visits and even brings her dog Avett, over to play with my pooch when he needs a break from the kennel and I am gone all day. She also has the perfect house to keep the dogs for an extended weekend. Her fenced in backyard is perfect for a lot of run around time! She has even cut my pups nails for me when they were too long. As a former dog groomer, I know she has the experience and expertise to keep my dog safe and happy. Jessica is the best. I always know my dogs are in good hands with her!”

About: With five years of hands-on experience at an apple orchard and hobby farm, I have worked with both feral animals and domestic cattle, honing my skills in animal care and behavior. As a dedicated pet owner, I have personally trained and rescued my two doodles. Additionally, I have fostered puppies through Coco's Heart, demonstrating my deep love and commitment to animal welfare. I am a college student on summer break currently with lots of time for dog adventures and care alike! I am available on most weekdays besides Tuesday and Wednesday! I will care for your pets in their home by providing personalized attention and activities, including visits to local dog parks for exercise and socialization. I will also create custom dog treats to ensure they enjoy healthy and delicious snacks. Above all, I will offer plenty of love and affection to make sure your pets feel happy and comfortable while you're away.
9. Nicole N.
About: I have a lot of experience with animals since I was 10 when I started volunteering my time at an animal rescue. I have experience from puppies all the way to senior dogs! My days are free Monday-Sunday 24/7. I do same day bookings or bookings in advance whenever you would need. I can come let the animals out for potty breaks or I can come stay with them for a longer amount of time. I do not offer care inside of my home due to my two cats who are not dog friendly. But I have no problem coming to your home and providing my services whenever needed.

11. Jasmine, Logan & Heather B.
About: I’ve cared for animals basically my whole life. Growing up on a farm helped me know how to relate to animals and to read their behaviors. My wife, Jasmine, and I have been married for 3 years. Our schedules are flexible for caring for pets in our home. We have a sweet daughter that is now being raised around animals, and she will love to cuddle your fur baby! My mother, Heather, who has been farming for 40+ years is also on the farm and has a love for all things four legged! Between myself, my wife, and my mom we have an amazing team to take great care of your babies! We live on a lovely farm that will be sure to excite your pet! They will get daily walks, and since the acreage is mostly unfenced, potty relief times will double as opportunities to improve their leash skills. Your dog will enjoy getting to be around people, other dogs in our care, and the animals on our farm. Your pet will be housed in our home as one of the family. If your pet has a crate that they use at your home, you would bring it with you to keep their environment consistent with what they know. If they don’t sleep in a crate, that’s ok! We’ll make safe sleeping arrangements with their needs thoughtfully considered. We are able to separate dogs for sleeping and eating purposes, to be sure each dog gets what they need and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. If your dog needs medicine or special care, please know that we are happy to accommodate any need. We are accustomed to administering medication on an as needed basis. We look forward to meeting you and your dog! Thank you for considering us to be your fur baby’s caretaker. Being a part of a farm leaves room for lots of flexibility for my family to accommodate most schedules. Being on a farm also means someone will always be around for your pet to get all the attention they need. We live on a lovely farm that will be sure to excite your pet!

She would care for your pet as if it were her own.”

About: Most of my pet care experience comes from pet sitting dogs for my neighbors, family, and friends. I also have personal experience due to living with 3 dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with senior dogs that have difficulty moving and are on a specific diet. I currently work part-time and as a student! Due to this, my schedule is incredibly flexible and open! Most weekday evenings, weekends, I am available! I know the importance of routine, safety, and trust when it comes to our pets. This is why I make sure to follow your guidelines to the T so that your pet is as comfortable as possible.
