“Meaghan is great! I use her for drop in services for my two dogs (one adult and one puppy) when both my husband and I work schedules overlap. The dogs love her! She is great with communication as well!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “We couldn’t be happier with the care provided for our two older dogs. She went above and beyond with every visit—making sure they were comfortable, well cared for, and sending us thoughtful updates that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares for animals, and we are so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!””

“We were very impressed with Emily knowledge of animals and especially for our fur babies. She took such good care of them and I love that she was able to connect with them right off the bat. She sent pictures everytime. Thank you Emily for such great care!!! 😊😊😊”

“Sometimes I have to leave for a few days for work and when I leave I don’t want to board my elderly cat. Samantha is always so flexible and happy to come and visit in the wee morning hours when my boy gets his liquid treat (spoiled) and vitamin. He’s always in fantastic spirits when we come home and she always gives him plenty of love when she’s here. Samantha is a lifesaver!”

About: I grew up working on a farm, and since coming to college, I’ve continued caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from large, medium, small, and exotic. For large animals I cared for horses and cows. I have hands on experience with daily care routines including early morning and late night feedings, catching and handling, mixing and measuring feed and medications, water changes, brushing, injury care and reporting, hoof care, and bathing. I also have experience exercising horses on lead ropes and riding them. For medium animals I have experience with pigs and goats. My responsibilities included feeding and watering, bottle feeding babies when needed, milking goats, changing bedding, and providing hay or pine straw. In colder weather, I ensured animals were brought in from pasture and had proper shelter and heating. For small animals my experience is with chickens and meat rabbits. I’ve cared for chickens and rabbits by feeding, watering, brushing, cleaning cages and coops, collecting eggs, and securing them safely at night. For cats and dogs, I have experience with rescues, reactive pets, and both high and low maintenance animals. For dogs, I have experience with all ages from young puppies to older seniors, indoor, outdoor and working dogs more specifically hunting dogs. This includes feeding (kibble, raw, fresh food), administering oral and topical medications, walking, playing, kennel cleaning, training exercises, nail trimming, bathing, brushing, coat care, and post surgery care. For cats, I provide food and water, administer oral and topical medications, clean litter boxes, and offer post-surgery care. I also engage in play, provide brushing and coat care, and have experience walking cats when needed. While I haven’t administered injections, I’m comfortable doing so with proper instruction. For aquatic animals I have cared for fish and turtles.I have experience with freshwater aquariums and ponds, including water treatment, testing, water changes, and feeding. I’m open to learning about saltwater care. For reptiles and exotic pet I have experience with bearded dragons and snakes. I cared for a friend’s bearded dragon for five months, during which I upgraded her tank and lighting, took her to the vet, and managed her diet (veggies, fruits, crickets, roaches, mealworms), tank cleaning, and shedding care. I’ve also cared for non-venomous and low-venomous snakes for friends, including feeding (live and thawed frozen), water changes, and warm soaks during shedding. While I haven’t owned a snake yet, I’ve done extensive research and feel confident handling them with proper guidance. For birds I have limited experience with birds but am comfortable caring for them with detailed instructions and a walkthrough from the owner. As a college student, I’ve built my schedule to allow time for pet care throughout the week. I have one class on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:00 to 2:15 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have four classes between 8:30 AM and 2:15 PM, with breaks in between. These gaps give me flexibility to check in on pets, handle feedings, walks, or other care tasks during the day. Outside of class hours, I’m available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to maintain consistent routines for animals that need daily attention. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Growing up on a farm and continuing to care for animals throughout college has made it second nature to prioritize their needs. I’m used to early mornings and late evenings dedicated to feeding, cleaning, and checking on animals. I regularly schedule time for walks, play, grooming, and health checks, and I’m comfortable adapting my routine to meet the specific needs of each pet—whether it’s administering medication, handling post-surgery care, or simply spending quality time with them. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. Since I’m only allowed to have fish in my current housing, all of my pet care takes place in my clients’ homes. I take this responsibility seriously and always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for the pets I care for. I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, clean up after pets, and ensure they have fresh water, clean bedding, and a safe environment. I also pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and health, and I communicate regularly with the owner to provide updates and peace of mind. In the event of an emergency, I stay calm and act quickly. I contact the pet owner immediately, follow any emergency instructions they’ve provided, and seek veterinary care if needed. I keep a list of local emergency vets and pet hospitals on hand, and I’m comfortable making judgment calls when a pet’s health or safety is at risk. My goal is always to protect the pet and keep the owner informed every step of the way. Whether I’m caring for a pet for a few hours or several days, I treat every animal and home with the same respect, attention, and care I would give my own.
“DeAndre provides excellent service. He is trustworthy and dependable, and he will go out of his way to make sure my dogs are well taken care of. Highly recommend and will book with him again.”

“Elana is very professional and caring. We were very fortunate to have booked her last minute before a holiday weekend. She was promt with all her visits, sent us loads of pictures of her snuggling and playing with our babies each time, and we had no concerns they were in good hands. Elana kept great communication as well. We won't hesitate to ask her to sit for us again. Highly recommend!!”

“Ashley does a fantastic job with my puppy! She has a great skill to adapting to the surprises and takes tremendous care of my home while dropping in on my pup.”
