About: With more than 25 years immersed in the world of animals—from rabbits and guinea pigs to parrots, fish, cats and dogs of all ages—I bring both knowledge and heart to every pet I care for. I currently share my home with three dogs and two parrots, and my lifelong passion for animals has guided my work as a journalist covering pet training, health, and products. I've been the editor of and on a number of pet publications: Dogster (Dog Fancy), Catster (Cat Fancy), Bird Talk, Ferrets and Critters. Whether you have a playful puppy, a wise senior, or a unique exotic companion, I’ll provide attentive, responsible care and treat your pet as the cherished family member they are. I work part-time, so have a flexible schedule. This allows me the flexibility to fit your pet's schedule into my own — morning, afternoon or evening. I have a big fenced yard and large spare room for any animals that need boarding. I am also happy to do overnight visits, feeding, quick visits or walks.

Jayda is awesome! She does such a great job with my mini aussie Athena. Always on point with communicating, on time, very welcoming, very sweet, teaches her tricks, just all around very awesome with Athena. I'm a very picky person and she does a fantastic job with meeting my requests and taking care of my very needy sweet aussie. I could go all day explaining how great she has done taking care of her over the last few weeks. Jayda stops in multiple times a week to take Athena on a walk and I have boarded her with jayda and during every stay and walk I get fantastic updates! I have never met someone my dog loves as much as me. When she stops in Athena just love to see her.

About: I have over 30 years of experience practicing and teaching veterinary emergency and surgical nursing, so you won't find anyone more qualified to care for your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority. Caring for pets while their families are away is very rewarding for me, as I know from personal experience how stressful it is to leave them. I love knowing that I can help people have a more relaxed, enjoyable time away from home. My household and lifestyle have always revolved around pets, and yours will be included in our routine as part of the family while they are here. I have a large fenced yard and can also crate your pet if needed. I allow pets inside my home, so wherever I am, your pet can be by my side, secure and supervised.

About: I've been house and petsitting with my husband Eric for about 5 years now. I'm currently road-tripping around the U.S. and have looked after so many pets and homes in Texas, Colorado, Tennessee, Georgia, Arizona, and California. I love animals, traveling, and being outside—so going on walks (whether it’s around the block or out on a trail) is one of my favorite things to do with the pets I care for. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and have experience giving medications too. Since I don’t have pets of my own, I’ve really enjoyed being an "aunty" to so many sweet animals along the way. I've also loved making so many friends (both furry and human) along the way. Spending time with animals really fills me with joy! My schedule is really flexible right now, so I’ve got plenty of time to give your pets all the love and attention they need. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to their routine—whether that means early meals, midday playtime, or evening walks. I'm up for anything! I currently only care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and safe. I'm super respectful and treat your home like it’s my own—you can count on me to leave everything clean and tidy: fresh linens, clean bathrooms, and everything back in its place. I do my best to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel at ease and keep things running smoothly while you're away.

About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs my entire life. I’ve had many kinds of dogs big and small, at every age. I’ve hand raised puppies who couldn’t be cared for by their mother, and taken care of elderly dogs who need that little extra TLC. I’ve potty-trained and taught basic commands, and I want to give every dog the heaps of love they deserve. I work part time, but I have oodles of time outside of work to watch your fur baby/ies. Animals are my priority; they always get seen to before my own needs. I’m experienced in getting to know new dogs, from shy to overly excitable. Whatever rules you have in place, I’ll make sure your pet and I follow them to a T! Dogs being taken outside will always be on a leash unless we’re in a safe, fenced in environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for around 3 years. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes, ones that shed and ones that don’t. I love hanging out and walking with them and loving on them. I am currently a full time college student at Lee University as an Elementary Education Major. I am currently a substitute teacher so my work schedule is made by me. I am unable to keep them in my own home due to me living with my parents and and they are allergic to dogs. Thankfully I am not allergic, I will make sure they are fed and have plenty of water, they are walked/let out as often as possible and play with them so they feel even more loved.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds but specifically medium to larger dogs like labradors, huskies, and German shepherds. I have been dog sitting ever since I was 14. Family, friends, and others. I have experience in dog sitting, walking and running with them, feeding, and bathing them as well. I have helped take care of many puppies and senior dogs too! I am a college student so I am pretty much free anytime outside of class which is generally anytime before 9 and after 4. I have multiple breaks throughout the day though, so I can walk, feed, or just check in on the pups when needed. I usually just ask how my clients interact with their dogs and do the same. Like where the dogs are allowed to go in the house or outside of it, any command words that they use often, how often they need exercise, etc. I have a lot of experience with different dogs and different dog owners so it looks different depending on the household.

About: I’ve owned pets since I was born, even now I own 2 rescue cats, 2 golden retrievers, chickens, ducks, too many tanks and fish to count and often many rescue animals. I’m the girl that stops my car and moves snakes, alligator snapping turtles and all manner of creatures from the road. I’m not scared of any pets, or animals. I love to meet new furry friends and often am told I have “a way” with animals. My nick name as a child was Snow White. One day we hope to own a farm. I graduated college as an EMT, so I have wound care experience and also am trained in natural medicine as well. I’m the mom of 3 and have the privilege of being a stay at home mom of humans and animals. I’m free most of the time to help care for those who need help! I often dog sit at my home with my family as supportive help for playing with and caring for those in our care. My kids adore walking, playing and loving on any pets. I and (if desired) my kids can easily come to care for your loved ones at your home as well. We cater to preferences and love animals of all kinds! Furry guests in our home usually sleep on a kid and their bed all night unless other preferred requests like a kennel if you don’t want them spoiled.

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently in Colorado for a few months, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!
