“Meghanne is AMAZING! She took such great care of my cat, Finn. She sent pictures and updates with every visit. I highly recommend Meghanne! We will definitely be asking her to help us next time we go away.”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.
“We are so pleased with Kass’s great care of our 2 kitties. She’s reliable, kind and a true pet “whisperer”. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back again in the future. Thank you Kass!!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Ali and I am here to check in on your loved one while you're out, take them for a walk, provide a safe space at my home if you are away, and more! At this time, I am available in the evenings and weekends, as I do work full time. I have a lifetime of experience with animals, both dogs and cats, and love meeting new animals. Whether your dog needs a walk, some snuggles, or just someone to keep them out of trouble, I'm happy to help! I have experience giving daily oral medication to both cats and dogs, and have cared for several senior pets. I look forward to hearing from you about how I can provide excellent care for your dog (or cat!). Thank you! I am currently available on evenings and weekends, and would be happy to discuss boarding in my home if you are away for any period of time. In your home, I will provide services for your pet while respecting your space and home. For any boarding at my home, please know that I have two children who are extremely respectful to animals and will treat your dog as their own.
About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.
About: I had multiple animals growing up, and always helped take care of them all. I’ve also helped take care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats! I work a full time job Monday-Friday from 7am-4pm so I’m always going to be available on weekends or anytime after 4pm during the week days! I treat every cat and/or dog like it’s my own, every pet gets the same attentive care no matter what. I always make sure your little one has a save environment

About: I have had animals since I was born, I’ve always had a dog growing up and I also had two bunnies for around 9 years. I currently also have a cat. I’ve grown up around all types of animals, my grandma has always had cats, sheep and chickens. I take care of a cat everyday at my own house and I help my parents take care of my childhood dog at least once a week. I am very kind and patient and I will love your animals for you and make sure they are well taken care of as if they were my own.
About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember, and throughout my time in my childhood home I cared for 6 cats and 3 dogs. I have working experience caring for reptiles, birds, and fish, and currently own two cute kitties and two wonderful dogs I am currently between full-time positions and have plenty of time to care for your animals. Whether it is cats, dogs, or something a little more exotic, I am free weekdays and weekends to make sure your fur (or not!) family gets the care they deserve. While I am with your animals, I provide the utmost care and attention to them while giving them engaging play or cuddles as they need. I send update texts during each visit and lock up tight when I leave so the kiddos are safe and secure.

I have watched her treat animals properly and respectfully giving them the exact care that they need. She is very patient with any animal and is willing to do anything to protect any animal even if it is not her own. She also has history of introducing new animals to one another in the same household showing her patience and willingness to work with animals, especially if said animals need time to get along with one another. I greatly recommend Ashley as a pet caregiver.”
