About: With years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes dog walking, in-home pet sitting, administering medications, feeding routines, and providing comfort and companionship while owners are away. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same affection and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to create a stress-free and nurturing environment that helps your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently working 3.5 days per week and looking to establish myself in pet sitting/care. I can be available in the evenings, Thursday anytime, Friday afternoons and weekends. I am an active volunteer with 2 rescues currently, and just love pursuing my life's dream and goal of providing loving, attentive care to all pets. My home is pet-proofed with separate areas as needed, fully fenced, air conditioning. It is 2-story, so if need be I can carry up to 30lbs. Doors all properly latch, no doggie doors.

“Kathleen was great to trust with my two pets while I was away! My dog is not always thrilled about new people, but she was very patient with him and even got a kiss from him. Will definitely rebook!”


“Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!”


“This was the first time that Bridget took care of our senior citizen kitty, Lilly. Lilly usually runs & hides from people & noise. However…she let Bridget pet her on the very first visit! I was really surprised that Lilly didn’t hide under the bed! I think Bridget is a cat whisperer. Lilly even let Bridget pet her belly! We were so happy that Lilly accepted Bridget instantly. Bridget took great care of our Lilly & our home, followed the directions that were given, turned lights on & off, even brought in unexpected packages, cleaned up around Lilly’s litter, took lots of good photos of Lilly, so we knew exactly what mood she was in (happy), gave us daily detailed updates on how Lilly was doing, etc. Bridget visited Lilly the same time am & pm every day. She was punctual & got back to me when I would text her. It was such a relief & peace of mind that Lilly was getting love from Bridget while we were away. We appreciated everything that Bridget did for our Lilly. Our first time with Bridget was awesome & Lilly gives Bridget her paws of approval with 4 paws up! Lilly has a new friend & we will definitely rebook with Bridget!”


“Amber is so wonderful with our Chesapeake bay retriever who can be stubborn at times but he absolutely loves her. She always sends a picture and an update of how he did on the check in. She has been so helpful and puts our mind at ease that we know he’s being taken care of so well 😊”


About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.

“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”
