About: I have over 4 years of hands on pet care experience and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, providing walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, reinforcing basic training, or giving extra love and gentle support to senior dogs, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. Your pet will be treated like family in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, drop in visits, and daily walks. Pet care is a priority in my routine, so your pet will always receive my full attention, consistency, and plenty of love and playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly, well socialized dogs who love having company. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them or provide a quiet area to help them feel comfortable. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines to make sure your pet feels right at home.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a young kid! As a young kid (and still now!) - my family, friends and neighbors relied on me to care for their fur babies while they were away. I now have dogs, cats & guinea pigs of my own so I have a lot of experience! I also frequently foster & volunteer for local shelters & rescues to help dogs & cats in need! Animals are my passion & I love them all like they are my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my 1 year old daughter, so I am home full time which means your pet will be given lots of love & attention during the day during their stay with us. I try to be as flexible & accommodating as possible! I have a large fenced in yard & two friendly resident dogs (Remi & Chance) to keep your dog company, if they like playing with other dogs. I also have separate dog-friendly rooms with TVs (Petflix!) for dogs that prefer to be alone and I also have kennels (small & large) for dogs that are used to being kept in a kennel for bed and rest times, so bringing your dog’s kennel from home is optional.

About: Growing up I always loved caring for and spending time with many cats and dogs my family had. Today I live with my cat and my golden retriever. I work full-time from 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. Fridays are typically shorter days for me so I can give your pet extra care and attention through the weekend! I am fully comfortable caring for animals in your home. I am familiar with typical behaviors such as crating and feeding, and if your pet has other needs please just let me know and I will accommodate!

About: I have experience having my own puppy when me and my husband adopted our German shepherd was at 11 weeks old. He is now 8 months old and 85 lbs along with my neighbors dog that is a 100+ lbs cane corso that’s 10 months old. I have experience with big dogs and other sizes of dogs with temperaments. I am accustomed to walking 6-8 dogs a day regardless of their energy and I love it. I am more than open for boarding as I have had a cane corso and a German in one household with no issues along with my husband helping me to make it fun. I work in childcare and when I get off work I have more than enough time to walk people’s dogs. I love walking dogs so much I tend to lose track of time and get home late. I have a lot of patience taking care of my dog and other people’s dog and follow the owners instructions accordingly. I make sure to ask for consent before making any decisions and ask questions ahead of time in case there is any unforeseen circumstances. I keep open communication with the owners as well as keeping them up to date of how their dogs are doing. My husband and I love taking turns caring for our dog as we play fetch and walk to mix things up to keep them stimulated.

Y’all, Kristal is the BEST. I messed up my dates and ended up out of town without a sitter. She showed up within 4 hours and saved me. She sent loads of pictures to ease my mind and was kind and playful with my kitty. It’s worth everything to know your pet is safe and happy and Kristal made that happen

About: I've had animals all my life since I was a child. I've volunteered at shelters such as pg county animal shelter and am currently employed at a cat and dog boarding facility. I have a dog of my own, her name is Eden, and she is the light of my life. I assure you I understand what it means to care deeply for a pet as I have all my life with each soul that comes and goes. My utmost priority is providing seamless care for your pet with great attention to detail. I have a part time job at a Dog&cat boarding facility and mainly have availability in the evenings but if told in advance can absolutely fit any morning needs into my schedule as well. I am happy to adapt to anyone's home. Dogs and cats are such routine based animals and any disruption in that routine can often cause stress. It's important to me that I care for your pet how you'd normally care for them day to day to ensure a stress free transition for you and your pet.

Morgan was great with my 2 pups! He followed my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well taken care of. I received daily updates and photos, which was great while I was out of the country. He brought in all my packages, bins and ensured I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend!

Michaela was wonderful with our dog, Bird. There was a thunderstorm when she stayed over and she kept Bird company all night since she gets nervous in storms.

Emily did a fantastic job house sitting and pet sitting for our two small dogs for a week! She was communicative and professional, and very loving to our pups. We left a clean house with two happy dogs and returned to a clean house with two happy dogs! We would definitely hire her again. She even left us a sweet hand-drawn card.
