“Provided updates daily! Took very good care of all our kitties and plants! Checked our mail and took our packages inside, took the trash out, kept our house in better shape than when we're home! :)”
“Laura was amazing! Her communications made us feel at ease leaving our older kitties in someone else’s care for the first time! The pictures showed just how at ease the kitties were too. When we met Laura for the first time before she took care of them, we knew she would be a perfect fit and we were right. When we arrived home, the kitties and our home were happy as could be! Thanks Laura!”
“Mariah did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She provided updates daily and sent pictures when cat made an appearance. I will definitely use Mariah next time my 3 cats need a babysitter.”
“Thank you!”
“Cheryl is so wonderful. My dogs love her (even my picky Chihuahua). She is reliable, kind, trustworthy and truly loves animals. If you have Cheryl as your sitter your fur babies will be spoiled and happy.”
About: I have professional experience walking, caring for, and training dogs of all types, including puppies, seniors, dogs with behavioral problems, and more. I also enjoy running and love having a 4-legged partner, so high energy dogs are welcome. I am currently a college student in their final year, so I add dog-walking to stay active and spend time with cute dogs! I make time in my schedule either in the mornings or midday depending on the weather so we can both get our workout in for the day. In my experience, I’ve cared for a myriad of dogs and am confident in my ability to not only meet their needs but make the situation positive for them too.
About: I have over 30 years of volunteer work at animal shelters working with at risk dogs. I have 2 high energy, stong willed dogs of my own. I bring a strong, yet calm engagement with every sort of dog personality by carefully observing their behaviors and approaching them in a way that generates comfort while displaying my authority. I am very flexible within reason. I work from home and own my own company. I really prefer an intro meet with you and your baby prior to first engagement if possible. That allows me to understand the dogs and see your manners/handling. It also allows me to build comfort with your dog and make them less stressed when I show up. I live on over 40 acres. I will align to your specific wants and needs regarding care whether that be in your home or at mine. I can crate overnight, walk frequently and for the durations you want. I build rapport through calm, confident engagement with your dog and you. Open communications with a willingness to express issues with kindness is key to a strong and genuine relationship/team effort.
“Scheduled me last minute and easy to work with , my cats and fish loved ‘em”
About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!
“Cheyenne is amazing! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was well taken care of during the drop in visits. I always received updates and pictures through out my time away. My pet loved her too! I will definitely use her again. :)”
“Larisa was wonderful - very responsible, caring and willing to help. She went above and beyond. I only wish Max would have been more friendly and come out from hiding 🫣. I highly recommend Larisa for your pet care.”
“Thank you, presli. You come in clutch last min for me. And handled the situation well. Thanks again”
