About: I’ve worked at a boarding kennel for 3.5 years, mainly In the cattery, extremely comfortable providing medication to cats, some experience with small and senior dogs aswell! I am currently working part time at the kennel still, as I am trying to start schooling for a career I do still have a passion for animals aka our “fur babies” I have one cat of my own she is my baby, and gets treated as such, following that, the care I provide to other animals is the same level of care I would provide to my own!

About: Hi, I’m Nicole—and I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. My experience with dogs goes way beyond walks and belly rubs (though I’m great at those, too!). I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, volunteered with local rescues, and spent years fostering dogs—from high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts who just need a little extra TLC. Recently, I lost my own dog after a long, beautiful life together. While that grief is still fresh, so is my desire to stay connected to the joy that dogs bring. I’m here to share my heart, experience, and home with pups who need care while their humans are away. Whether your dog needs daily structure, meds, slow strolls, or high-energy play, I meet them exactly where they are—with patience, affection, and respect. ✅ Why Pet Parents Trust Me: Hands-on vet clinic experience (meds, senior care, post-op) Rescue & foster background with dogs of all breeds and sizes Skilled in behavior reading and calming anxious pups Communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely dog-obsessed I treat your dog like they’re my own—because that’s the only way I know how If you’re looking for someone who combines professional experience with real-world love for dogs, I’d be honored to care for your pup. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or just extra snuggles while you’re away—your dog’s happiness is my priority. I work from home full-time, so your pet—whether they’re a playful pup, a chill senior, or a curious cat—will have plenty of company and care throughout the day. I'm rarely gone for more than an hour at a time, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort is always my top priority. In my home, everything is designed with pets in mind—from the furniture they’re welcome to lounge on to the cozy spaces for quiet naps or playful moments. I’ve created a calm, welcoming environment where pets can relax, feel safe, and be themselves. I follow their routines as closely as possible and offer plenty of love, attention, and downtime. If they’re used to sleeping on the couch or snuggling in bed—I’m all for it! When I’m in a client’s home, I take care to honor your pet’s space, routine, and preferences. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and rest schedules, and make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I approach every visit with patience, care, and respect for their unique personality—whether that means high-energy play or quiet companionship. In both settings, I aim to make the transition stress-free for your pet by offering a consistent, comforting presence and treating them like part of the family.

About: I have not "house sat" before, and I did grow up on a farm where there was chickens, horses, cattle and other animals. I have also had a variety of my own over the past 30 years, dogs, cats and chickens. Over the past couple of years I have fostered cats, what a great experience and we have bonded very quickly. I have as well done vacation sits of dogs, horses and cats for friends and family. I have had senior dogs as well have fostered senior cats. I currently work part time, sometimes out of the house and mostly remote, as of right now I determine my schedule., so can work around a sit. I have a big fenced yard and close to walking trails. I walk daily anyways so would be nice to have company. Everyone bird or animal I have looked after is well taken care of and had lots of attention given.

About: I’ve had a passion for animals and been a pet owner my whole life. Also gained experience working at a force free dog daycare/boarding facility, learned different training techniques, dog safety and first aid. I have a goal to become a positive reinforcement dog trainer, that I am studying/ working towards. This is my career goal. I am aiming to make Playful Paws my full time adventure. If you have any questions send me a message and we’ll work together to make a schedule that fits yours and your pets needs. House/pet checks I’ll always accompany your pup outside in your yard for bathroom breaks and play. Walking service your dog will always be on leash for no accidents to happen.

About: If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? I would LOVE to have a animal sanctuary! I have always had a love for animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had a dog my whole life, whether it was a family pet, a foster or a rescue. I have more experience then just having my own fur babies, I work with a wonderful non profit in Mexico that educates, and provides spay and neutering's for stays and beloved pets. I've worked with pre mature puppies to the oldest man I know, our 17 Year old family dog Polar Bear. With a love for animals and a thankfulness to have a flexible career, it leaves me with space to care for your fur baby anytime you need. I am able to provide care in my home, I do have a family cat (Leo) and a dog (Polar Bear) who are both very loving. If your pet doesn’t like other animals there is an option for your pet to still stay over and not come in contact with any other pet. I am a clean, respectful, rule following individual, I understand everyone has different rules and boundaries, I would love to go over them before I come over - so we're all on the same page.

About: I (Boris) have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7.

“Brianna was extremely responsible, professional and followed instructions very well. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up messes that our cats made 😆 We were so nervous to leave my pets at home by themselves at first, but with Brianna's help, my husband and I became less worried and got a chance to enjoy our days away from our fur babies. Brianna sent us pics of our cats and communicate regularly so I felt even more confident leaving my babies in her hands. With no doubts, I'm going to rebook Brianna in the future. Highly recommended!!! Thank you, Brianna, see you next time !”
