“It's always a pleasure to bring Seven to see Jenny. I don't trust many people with my dog, but Jenny is definitely someone I can trust. Seven likes going over there, and as long as he is pleased, I am happy. I highly suggest her. Thank you, Jenny, for caring for my puppy.”

“Myra is calm, patient and extremely kind. Peanut (a min pin mix) is a rescue dog who takes time to warm to new people. Myra was welcoming and generous with her time during our meet and greet. She has a lovely home. She was so patient with Peanut and her love for animals and willingness to adapt to their personality and needs was obvious. Myra sent pics throughout the day and Peanut had a wonderful time. I have already booked Myra to watch Peanut for a longer stay. Thank you Myra! Peanut can't wait to come back and play!”

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10. With over 7 years of experience, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Whether it’s energetic puppies or gentle senior dogs, I always treat them like my own-with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, sitting, or boarding-weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just steps away from several parks-perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. The building is secure and quiet, and I always create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines to help them feel right at home.

About: We’ve had dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats…..many pets we loved and cared for through the years. Although we don’t currently have pets of our own, we have lots of love & care to share. My husband and I are retired and have a flexible schedule to help your pet while you’re away. I can also do chicken and farm animal sitting/checking at your home and am able to care for pet birds in your home or ours. We have a large fenced country yard surrounded by farms and fields with lots of room to run. We can also leash walk your dog if preferred.

About: I’ve always been the “pet sitter” it started when I was 13 walking to my neighbors taking care of their cats, dog, reptiles & birds while they would leave for vacation. I’ve always loved animals of all sizes & species. I’ve always had pets from cats & dogs to chickens & Guinea pigs. Animals are apart of my daily life already at home& I always love to meet new fur babies. I typically feed my own animals twice a day & let my dog out at least every 2-4 hours depending on his body language & scoop my cats litter every other day. The same expectation would be upheld at my client’s residence. I personally have to walk my dog where I live so walking or fenced in yard is no big deal. I have three pets of my own 1 Dog & 2 cats they’re all on a daily routine that never changes even with travel. Fitting other pets into my day makes it that much better for me I’m doing what I love on a flexible schedule. I love cuddling with pets if they allow , holding or picking them up , feeding them treats and sun bathing now that it’s almost summer. I always encourage enrichment for all pets so if toys are available I will take the time to play with them & clean their puppy pads or litter boxes (or cages) for small caged animals.

“Cheryl, her family, and their dog Max are the sweetest. She’s super nice, took great care of my dogs, and kept me up to date with pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.

“Karen was great from the start! Beginning with our meet and greet last week and then today during my 14 yo Maltese’s first doggy daycare day. I had my own separation anxiety today leaving my dog Bailey for the first time in 12 years! Karen was reassuring, cared about my senior dog’s special needs, and was sincere in her love of dogs. She took pics too! I appreciated her attentiveness and will be using her services again for an upcoming extended family vacation. I feel comfortable leaving Bailey in her care and a bonus was that he got along with her sweet dog Bella! 🐶🦴”

“My dog always has fun at KC's. Her goldens are so much fun that he can't help but want to play too! Despite his separation anxiety, he actually started to leave me several times on the 2nd day to go follow them!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Around 5 years ago I got a few of my own. I have been around all types of animals from cats to Cane Corsos. I have never had any problem being around any type of animal regardless of size. I love going on walks. I normally stop by and feed my family's pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I have also trained puppies and have handled senior pets as well! Pet care is not something interrupts my daily or weekly routine. It is something that I actually prefer to do with my time. I love being able to help people with their fur babies while they have prior engagements and cannot be there at a certain time! I will follow all of your rules while inside your house. If you need your pup crated I can easily do that. I can also let them out in your fenced yard or take them out on a leash.

“It was lovely to meet Athena. I asked her to watch my dog, and she immediately said yes. My dog had a lot of fun. I highly suggest her and will absolutely bring my dog to her again.”
