About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every pet like they’re my own! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep you in the loop with plenty of updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind! Pets of All Ages – Comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors, and happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine. Senior Pet Care – Experienced and comfortable caring for older pets who may need a little extra patience, assistance, or attention throughout the day. Insulin Injections – Experienced administering twice-daily insulin injections according to a pet’s prescribed schedule and care routine. Medication Management – Comfortable administering medications and keeping up with consistent dosing schedules and instructions. Communication & Updates – I know how much you want to know that your fur babies are doing well while you’re away! I provide regular updates, photos, and anything else that helps you feel connected and reassured. 🐾📸 Most importantly, I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 💕 I currently work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to accommodate my clients’ needs. My work-from-home days can be adjusted when needed, allowing me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and extra attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you’re away, so I make every effort to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I’m attentive to the little details—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual habits—and I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and care they would get at home.

“Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Kyla! I am a creative and wildlife graduate who loves animals of all kinds! I'm experienced with both large and small dogs, as well as cats and even reptiles! I have 3 cats, a leopard gecko, and a childhood dog. I enjoy playing with them all, teaching them new tricks, and going on regular walks. I'm very flexible and will try my best to work with your busy schedule. Don't hesitate to reach out for any additional needs such as putting food out, giving treats, or refilling water bowls. I understand that animals can get anxious when their hoomans are away and I will be sure to make sure they feel safe and as calm as can be. I'm thrilled to get to know your best friend and go above and beyond in any way that I can. I currently run my own crochet business, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I am available during the day Monday-Friday and on all day on some weekends! I am in an apartment with cats of my own, I do not offer boarding or doggy daycare. I do offer home stays and am very experienced with it! I am also available to drop by to walk, feed, or play with your fur baby!

Susan is fast at communicating and has a lot of experience with dogs, I was very comfortable with her coming to the house. I will definitely book her again next time Zoey needs a walk or a sitter!”

About: Hi! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and look forward to treating your four-legged family members like my own. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and feline friends. I have experience administering insulin shots and other medications. I look forward to meeting your four-legged family members! By profession, I do lights for concerts!

I care for every pet with love and attention to their individual needs. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, and farm animals. Caring for pets has always been a normal part of life for me, both through my own animals and through pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years I’ve raised my own puppies and kittens, cared for senior pets, and managed medications and special care needs. One of my own dogs (German Shepherd Dog) was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and I cared for him throughout treatment until he passed away at age four. That experience taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention can be when a pet isn’t feeling their best. I also currently care for my senior dog who requires medication. Today I have a labradoodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy, two cats, and my senior dog. I take pride in training my dogs to be well-behaved and socialized. In addition to dogs and cats, as stated previously, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals including lizards, snakes, chickens, rodents, fish, a sun conure parrot, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and pigs. I know every animal is different, and I do my best to learn their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am a career biochemical scientist and lost my job in April. I am now having a blast working as a full-time stay at home mom. My 1 year old son also loves pets and would need to occasionally accompany me! I am available pretty much around the clock. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any household rules you’ve established to the best of my ability. I know that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and reduces stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. In my own home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain a safe, clean environment and supervise interactions carefully. I currently have a friendly labradoodle and two cats, so I’m very accustomed to managing different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.
