“Phoenix is a top notch responsible pet caregiver. Phoenix gives our Sheltie so much love and attention when she cares for her in our absence. When we're out of town, she responds to our text messages/phone calls in a very timely manner and even sends us pics of our sweet pup. If you want to feel confident that your pet is in the best hands, choose Phoenix.”

“Katie was the best pet sitter I had for my cat. She updated me well with pictures or if he had any concerning poops or behavior!”

About: I have taken care of dogs in my neighborhood as well as friends animals all my life. Walking, feeding and caring for them comes natural to me. I am a substitute teacher so I have plenty of time to devote in the summer and have many days off in the other seasons. Able to follow detailed instructions for caring for pets. I have a senior diabetic dog right now so although I can’t have other animals in my home I love to take care of animals where they live and are comfortable.

About: I have taken care of animals most of my life, and have had anything from dogs and cats, to chickens and ducks, snakes, goats, llamas, etc. I have successfully trained dogs in basic behavioral skills and administered medication of various forms to all my animals. I also have confidence with even the largest of breeds, having owned a cane corso, among others. I have experience leash training as well as acclimating dogs with new animals and curbing unwanted behavior. I work full- time, but can work with you, especially if I can plan ahead by a week or more. I do occasionally leave town, but again, can generally adjust my schedule accordingly. I prefer to allow animals freedom to roam around if possible, but understand animals have different needs. All walks are leashed, no exceptions unless you have a fully fenced and secure yard you prefer your pet to run around.

“Jessie was very good with my dog. My dog enjoyed her company :)”

“Kayla loves dogs and takes great care to treat them like family. She is friendly and loving and understands that dogs need love and attention. She is a responsible parent and is trustworthy. You can rest assured that your dogs will be well loved and well cared for.”

About: I have owned animals my whole life. I have also worked in veterinary medicine for almost 10 years. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have worked in General Practice as well as ER/ICU. I also operate an animal rescue in which I take in animals in need of medical care and once the animal is healthy, find adopters. I have taken care of numerous animals during my career. I have exceptional knowledge of medical management for animals needing medical care, medications, injections, etc. I currently work as an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician) part time. I operate my rescue every day of the week. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me several opportunities during the day/night to provide drop ins to a clients home for walks, medications, etc. I am typically home most of the day so animals staying in my home will have frequent access to the yard and attention from me I have a fenced in yard and a separate entrance and indoor space for pet sitting within my home. I have a finished basement with cat trees, dog toys, couches, etc to make guests staying within my home feel comfortable. Currently, I only have space for one client’s pets at a time to ensure all pets get along and are safe together. Guest within my home will not have access to my own personal pets.

About: I have had dogs every single year of my life and currently have a Dachshund with IVD. I love working with animals and would love to provide pet care for you! I currently work in healthcare part time while also attending college full-time in hopes of becoming a Registered Nurse. I have lots of experience taking care of people and also have taken care of animals my whole life. I always try to make sure pets feel just as comfortable with me and they would with their owner while not being abrasive and following all rules you would have for myself and your pet.

“Shelby is a terrific pet sitter. She makes sure that her pets as well as the pets she sits are well cared for. It's obvious that she has a great love for dogs and enjoys caring for and playing with them.”

“She went above and beyond taking care of my puppy. 10/10 would have her watch my dog again”

“Jennifer is great with any and all animals! She has watched my Golden Retriever, Harvey, since he was a puppy and she has always been great with him. She not only provides excellent care but she also creates a bond. Her and Harvey are inseparable when they are together, and he even cries when she leaves! I highly recommend her to watch any of your pets. She is truly one of a kind and will treat them like her own!”

“Jacqueline has watched my dog for over 3 years now. I can always trust her to make sure they are well taken care of and most importantly loved. She’s came over for hours to days to weeks long stretches while I’ve been away.”

“Cynthia was very attentive towards my dog sugar. They got along well, had spa day, and she came back tired from all of the activity. Very pleased with the service”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have had chickens for about 7 years and 4 dogs for over 15 years. I also have some experience with other animals as well. I grew up with three German shepherds and a crazy hyper Jack Russell. We bred our two german shepherds and kept one puppy from the litter so I do have experience with puppies and the patience to take care of them. The two shepherds I grew up with passed away due to sicknesses so I also have experience taking care of sick dogs and giving them the extra special care they need! I have also taken care of friends pets numerous times. I have always had a love for caring for animals and getting to spend quality time with them. Growing up surrounded by all sorts of pets has given me the skills of patience and how to give the correct care and attention each specific pet needs. I’m currently in school for the medical field and have a pretty full schedule in the mornings during the week. But I have a clear schedule Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and am available in the afternoons during the week. I live in the countryside with many acres of open land so I have plenty of space your pets can roam around, play, and not have to worry about keeping them on a leash when they are being watched. If my client is not comfortable with letting them go without a leash I also have an extremely large fenced in area that small dogs to large dogs cannot get out of. I do have a Jack Russell who is old so I keep other animals away from her to make sure she is safe and not at risk of being hurt since she is older. I also have a German shepherd and she is all love and cuddles and enjoys play time with other dogs and would love another furry friend to play with!

“Cecile has been walking my dog for some time now and I am so pleased with how gentle and loving she is to my animals. Cecile is also a sensitive gifted natural healer . I have an elderly cat (15 cat years). My cat has had health issues and has been becoming more fragile and declining . My Vet thought my cat would pass away soon. Cecile did hands-on energy healing multiple times to my cat and he is much more energized and eating well. He has his purr back !! He seems to be getting stronger each day . I am so very grateful to Cécile ! She is a wonderful person with a definite healing abilities. I highly recommend her both for pet sitting/walking and pet healing. THANKYOU Cecile !! Wil N.”

“Madison took care of both of our dogs while we were staying at Claytor Lake State Park. She came over twice during the day and even did a meet and greet the night before. She loves dogs and took great care of our Penny and Lucy. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anybody. One of our dogs is human-shy and she warmed up right away to Madison!”
