“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My dog was so chill when I returned I could tell Alyssa gave her the love and care she needed during my departure. Additionally, she left the house as she found it. I highly recommend Alyssa for dog walking/sitting.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore all animals and am super picky about how my pets are cared for. It's always scary leaving them with anyone new, so you can be sure that I will take care of yours exactly how you ask me to and will make sure they are safe and have everything they need. I've trained all of my dogs and currently have an elderly girl so I have experience across all age ranges. I'm very used to administering medications and handling complex diets. I'm not currently working outside of the home so I have tons of free time to care for your pet/pets. I am available day or night currently. I will follow your instructions when caring for your pet in your home. You know best what your pet needs and I will follow your lead. I will make sure they are safe at all times and pay attention to all the little details.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My home is pet-friendly with a fenced yard and ensures a safe, comfortable environment for your dog. I’m currently on college break and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available with a 3 week notice anytime that works for you. I have a fenced yard for plenty of playtime, and I’ll make sure your pup gets regular walks for exercise. I’ll also clean up after them and ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.
“Brittany was so great with our two pups! She did great at sending updates & communicating with us so we felt at east the whole time we were away! So thankful to have found someone to love on our dogs!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)

About: I’ve been raised with dogs as well as cats, in order to teach me responsibility, my grandparents taught me to look after and care for the dogs we had. My friends as well as family members have reached out when they were going out of town because they trust me to care and love their furry member of the family while they couldn’t. I’m currently available any day, full time! I’ll have all the time in the world to love and care for your pups! I can do boarding on the weekends as well as specific days of the week! I have a fenced yard, as well as a clean space. My parents are also dog lovers so not only would your pups get love from me but as well as them. I have a backyard with space for a pupper to run around and a gate so that they cannot venture too far!
“Alyssa was very communicative about how things were going with my pups! She worked through issues that came up with my girls being nervous and one of them throwing up. She did a great job!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!
“Merideth is fantastic! She was very attentive, patient and kind with my shy, high maintenance dog. She communicated well, followed all instructions and requests, and my dog loves her!”
About: Im a pre-vet student who has worked in hospital, shelter, and rehabilitation settings, so I know how important our 4-legged family members are.

Im currently working at a veterinary hospital, so evenings are always great, and I often have 3 or 4 days off a week where I can spend even more time with your friends! You know best when it comes to your animals and your house. Whatever you are able to tell me about their behavior, rules, or routines will be taken into account and I will make sure everyone stays happy and healthy!
