About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.
“We’re always so happy to have Christy to do drop-in visits with Sammy. She takes great care of her, going on walks, playing and feeding her. I always get detailed information on how Sammy did, which brings relief on days when we need to be away for extender periods of time.”
“Stephanie is a great pet sitter! She's very friendly, caring and kind. My cat, Domino, warmed up to her right away and she took time to play with him during her drop-ins. I loved getting daily pictures of Domino and a little run down of each drop-in!”
“Kristen was fantastic. We needed last minute pet care for a weekend and she responded quickly and was able to set up a meet & greet within a couple of days. She took excellent care of our pets. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Amy has cat sit for us several times now and is very reliable and responsive. Our cats liked her immediately when they met her. Amy has given us great peace of mind that our cats are well cared for when we are away!”
“We loved having Julia for drop-in visits for our two dogs! One of our dogs, Chip, was recently adopted (<1 week), so we were nervous leaving him, but Julia took such good care of them and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was also very flexible with our different needs, such as feeding at evening drop-ins, followed all the instructions, was very responsive and sent lots of photos of each visit, which helped me worry less about Chip. I would definitely recommend Julia to care for your fur babies!”
“This is our first experience with Rover, we were unsure about it at first but Nicole was amazing! She went as scheduled and we got a sweet and detailed update every day. It's obvious how much she loves cats, our kitty walked right up to her at the meet and greet so he could tell too! We are so grateful to Nicole for giving him so much love while we were away!”

About: My family has always had at least one cat or dog, so I have grown up with these wonderful animals as well as learned how to care for them with walking, feeding, cleaning, playing, etc. I am familiar with the body language of dogs and cats and want to provide a fun and safe experience for them while taking into account their unique temperaments and personalities. I treat every dog and cat like the beloved family member that I know they are. I am currently on summer break from college, so I have a lot of availability! I would love to fill my time by getting to know your pet(s). I will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I want to be an asset that will unobtrusively care for your animals in and outside your home. I know and honor how important every animal is in their family's life.
About: My name is Thalia and I’m ready to make your pup feel like they’re one of my own. I provide a safe and welcoming environment to make your pet feel right at home. I work from home, so I can be there for your pet daily or weekly. I can provide your pet with frequent potty breaks and walks as well as allow time for play. I always make sure my pets are safe inside my home. Providing them with fresh clean water and a safe place to have their meals. Pets are allowed on the furniture in my home and I have various dog beds throughout my home.
About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings that are safe and dog friendly, and I am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.
