About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.

“Hayley is amazing! I recommend her wholeheartedly. She takes amazing care of my cats, and they are happy to see her every time she comes! I even confused the dates when I booked her, and she was still able to come and help me out on a day I hadn't included. She's wonderful!!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Also I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I love all animals! I'm not scared of much either! I currently work part time. So I'm pretty open. I'm available after 10:30am on Wednesday Saturday and Tuesday Thursday and Friday after 4:30. I'm available all day on Sunday and Monday I care for my pets by taking them to the dog park twice a week making sure they have food and water. Also making sure they are utd on their shots. For taking care of your pet tho that would go off of how you would want me to take care of your animals. You are the owner. I'm just there to help you out and take care of your animals.

About: I do a good amount of dog sitting a year for my family, friends, and colleagues. They rely on me to walk, feed, take out, play, administer medication if needed, and snuggle their loved companion while they are away. Most people love puppies and don't get me wrong puppies are great. But my heart belongs to middle aged and senior dogs. If you chose your dog to stay with me they would need to be potty trained. I am very organized and detail oriented. I am calm in an emergency and adapt to best fit the care your loved one needs. I also ensure to maintain consistent communication with my furry guest’s parents with updates and pictures. For reassurance I would want to verify proper information like; emergency numbers, preferred emergency vet, typical feeding and feeding routine, microchip identification, and places they like to go. I would need the fur parent to provide additional information on; Does your dog have any food aggressions? Is your dog crate trained or do they prefer to roam? I recently graduated with a degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, but enjoy being around animals. I am a big fan of the outdoors (usually above 40 degrees). I am very crafty, and love projects from painting, to making doggie bandanas! I even get the pets to join in on the painting process. Currently I am job searching. I am home most days and run errands when needed. Because I will be home, that means I can be one on one with your pet. Giving them all of the attention, cuddles and snuggles, and treats they deserve. I will also have a lot of flexibility, so I can go to clients' residences to let out, feed, play, walk your companion if you decide it's best not to change their environment while you are away. My home offers a safe and stable environment. It can be customized to ensure the best possible environment for your dog. I live alone on the 3rd floor of a condo building. It has access to both the elevator and stairs. A very calm and quiet space and no worries for unwanted dog interactions. There is plenty of space to utilize for dogs that are 30 lb or less to play and run around and if owens would like to bring their dog’s crate. In the area there is a great walking path. In my home your dog can sleep wherever it chooses! Whether that be on my bed, or in their crate. I want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. When caring for a pet in my home I make it crucial to keep my home clean, decluttered and have all cleaning products off the floor and stored out of your pets reach.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 6 years old and I've always had a passion for animals, so much so I wanted to make it a career path for myself. I have over 3 years experience as a veterinary technician and pet groomer, and am hoping to use that knowledge to help in this endeavor. As a pet owner myself I know that care and attention is important for pet parents, which is why I'm here, to take my knowledge and experience to ensure you animals get that vital care and attention while you're away. I am currently working part time as a pet groomer. I am open Saturday-Monday, Wednesday- Thursday after 3 pm, and Occasionally Fridays. I am flexible throughout the week depending on my pet grooming schedule. I am unable to provide services in my own home. But I am able to travel however you need, whether it be your home, the dog park, etc.

“Gracie was awesome! She helped out last minute and fit a drop in visit with Max into her schedule. She kept me updated and sent pictures of her visit.”


About: Our first pup was a Golden doodle, Josie, who loved life until 12 years old in 2020. We took a year break and then choose our next love our Aussie doodle, Nova who is now 2 yrs old & is full of energy, loves cuddles, kids and other dogs and their toys 😊. I have been through the puppy stages to the end stages and new puppy stages again. I grew up on a dairy farm so dogs, cats, chickens, & lots of cows were the first animals I ever cared for. Once married and moved to the "city" it is when I first had to train an indoor dog for the first time. Our Golden doodle Josie was a gem & we love Nova just as much! I have an at home business so I'm flexible with my schedule. Walks, chilling in the sun on the patio, tossing the ball in the back yard are some our family favorite activities. Safety and respect for others is my highest priority. I am reliable and your pups will get the love, cuddles, belly rubs & active time they need.

“Kennedy was fantastic! She even took Roxie out a couple of walks when she came to feed her and let her out a few time. Will definitely reach out to her anytime we need a sitter for Roxie.”
