About: I’ve always had a cat at home. My teenage son and I are missing our cat back in Ukraine. I have experience looking after my friends cats in their house as well as hosting them at my home. I’m currently have full flexibility to work from home, so when I have pet at home I dont go to office and take cate of them. I dont have small children or other pets, so your pet will be safe from stress. I own my house so there’s no risks related to renting.

“Mackenzie was so great with our puppy, Millie. We had a great meet and greet. Looking forward to booking her again!”


About: I have been caring for pets my whole life as they bring me some of the highest quality joy to be found. An afternoon with a dog is my kind of day. I will bring sincere kindness and attention to your fur baby and enjoy my time with them. I am up for any care challenges they may have in general. I have raised puppies and dealt with large dogs. Lots of experience to draw from. I am not currently working and I love to get outside and enjoy nature-rain or shine! I am easy going about where, so if your baby likes certain areas, I’m happy to take them exploring where they are most happy or to a new place for a new adventure! I have a large wooded back yard and am on the river. My dog is a bull mastiff and is good with other dogs but my house is large enough to keep them separate if needed. I can also keep him home and care for yours in your home and am happy to accommodate any existing walking schedules.

“Amelia, was amazing to deal with. My kitty loved her. I would highly recommend and will use her services again.”


About: I've raised and trained 4 dogs, with one being trained and registered as a Service Animal. My dog is not an animal but part of my family and I will treat yours with the same care and attention. I am flexible to meet whatever needs you and your pet have. I am availalbe early morning, to late at night and even over night. I provide safe, loving, and personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of playtime, walks, and affection, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you're away.

“Bianca was amazing! I have 3 kitties and she took great care of them. She was thorough in making sure she had all the information she needed prior to my departure, which was really reassuring. She sent me great videos of my kitties (I could hear her talking so sweetly to them- it was the best!), which I really appreciated while traveling. I will definitely book Bianca again for my next trips!”
