“Angela was a great host for our English Cocker Spaniel, Poppy! She is clearly an animal lover and loves on Poppy as if she were her own. Her communication was fantastic and sent us cute pics each day. So glad we found Angela!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where my parents bred Boxers, so caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels became second nature to me from a young age. Throughout my life, I’ve always had pets of my own, and I’m also the person my family turns to when they need someone they trust to care for their animals while they’re away. I currently have three English Springer Spaniels of my own, so I’m VERY familiar with energetic, playful, affectionate—and sometimes very needy!—dogs. 😂 I understand that some pets need much more than a quick potty break. Whether yours needs a good walk to burn off some energy, lots of playtime, extra cuddles and attention, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My experience goes beyond dogs, too. I’ve cared for cats and currently have a snake of my own, so I’m comfortable around a variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I also have firsthand experience caring for pets who need a little extra attention. One of my own dogs is prone to recurring skin issues, so I’m very familiar with the additional care that can come along with that. I’m comfortable following established care instructions, including medicated baths and other routine at-home care, when provided by an owner or veterinarian. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual. If an emergency were ever to occur while your pet was in my care, I would never hesitate to contact you and seek appropriate veterinary care. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I know how stressful it can be to leave your animals with someone else, so I want to give you the same peace of mind I would want when leaving my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and all their little quirks rather than treating every animal the same. I’m dependable, attentive to the little things, and happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I’ll care for your animals the way I would want someone to care for mine. ❤️🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, later evenings, unusual work schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. Whether you need a consistent weekly routine or occasional care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule rather than making them adjust to mine. I know pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll always do my best to keep their feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and medication routines as close to normal as possible. 💕 My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as much like home as possible. I truly believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their normal routines don’t have to change just because their owners are away. Tell me how things work at home, and I’ll do my best to keep it that way! If your pup sleeps in bed with you, they’re welcome to snuggle up with us. If they’re happiest sleeping in their crate, I’m more than happy to maintain that routine as well. Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime, and other daily habits will all be tailored to your pet. We live in a quiet area away from busy roads and have a fully fenced yard with an additional guard along our iron fencing to help prevent even smaller dogs from slipping through. There are no children in our home, and our own animals are friendly, well-trained, and accustomed to being part of an active, pet-loving household. I’m also happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so everyone can get acquainted and we can make sure your pup feels comfortable. For dogs who love getting out and exploring, we frequently visit the Greenway for leashed walks, and I’m happy to provide other outings when appropriate for your individual dog and with your permission. I drive a roomy Kia Telluride, so I have plenty of space for comfortable transportation—and dog hair definitely doesn’t scare me! 😂 Playtime can get messy, and that’s perfectly okay! If your pup loves water, mud, or somehow manages to find every dirty spot possible, I’m happy to provide a bath upon request. I’m also comfortable following established care instructions for medicated baths when needed. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I’ll follow your instructions regarding leashes, crates, feeding, medications, interactions with other animals, and anything else specific to your pet. I want to know their quirks, likes, dislikes, house rules, and the little things that make them feel secure. Most importantly, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering whether your pet is okay. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see that they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Just tell me how you care for them at home, and I’ll do everything I can to make my home feel like theirs. 🦮✨

About: Your fur babies will be treated like my own while in my care. I'm home all day, have a fenced backyard, and am close to walking trails. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I have experience with cats and dogs, young and old, and will give your family member the best of care. Your fur baby will be my job while in my care. I'm available 24/7 for belly rubs, walks, snuggles, and treats. Whether it's snoozing inside or sunning outside, your little one makes the call. My backyard is small but fenced, and very secure. Yours can be the only dog or cat if necessary, as I don't currently have any of my own. You'll get lots of pictures and daily check-ins.

“Nash had a super great experience with Ivey (and Milo). We had a last minute change to our trip and she was more than willing to help us. Nash made himself right at home and was very well taken care of. We are so thankful and appreciative for finding Ivey.”

About: I have taken care of animals for years. Pet sitting for friends and family. I went to school for animal science pre-vet and also worked in multiple veterinary hospitals as an assistant. I myself own a Saint Bernard and know what it takes to single handedly take care of a large breed dog. He is socialized, docile, kind, and loves other dogs. He doesn’t have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body thanks to all of my hard work and training and love. My best friend is a local vet and will always be there if anything happens. I have also pet sat for her and she trusts me with all 8 of her animals. I spoil animals but also read them very well and gain their trust. Your animals are safe and loved with me! I am more than willing to do a meet and greet before I officially do any service. If you want me to provide doggy day care or boarding I can bring my big guy to a park and we can meet eachother or I can come over and meet your dog and you before you book me for walking or just drop ins. Whatever makes you the most comfortable with me and your precious baby! I currently work remotely part time. I can add pet sitting to my routine easily. I can attend to any needs and have free time the majority of the time. I live in an apartment and have a dog that can keep your fur baby company. He is a Saint Bernard and neutered. He is docile and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. A professional trainer even said he is the most happy go lucky dog he’s ever seen. Your fur baby will have a great time playing with him. He is also great with cats. He has three cat siblings. My cats are good with other cats I just ask you confirm your cats are feline leukemia negative if you want your kitty to stay here. If you want your cat to stay here but not be with the other cats I can make arrangements so they don’t interact. My apartment is a one bedroom but spacious. The complex has a dog park and plenty of places to walk and enjoy time. The dog park is usually empty so it’ll just be yours and mine fur baby. I have a large and extra large crate so you don’t need to provide one if your dog is crate trained. My car is a Chevrolet blazer and large so it can carry large breed and small breed dogs safely. The community I live in is nice and not far from multiple parks I can take your dog too as well. I am home all the time and work remotely so I can pet sit and board.

About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and love having them around. We have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever of our own who is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. At least one of us is always around to keep your dog company and provide supervision. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and downtime. We understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and we’ll make sure yours feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. My husband works remotely, and I work part-time. Between the two of us, at least one is always home to provide supervision, company, and attention. We can fit walks, playtime, meals, and rest into our daily routine while following your pet’s usual schedule. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play, as well as a crate available if needed or preferred. We also have a friendly 2-year-old Golden Retriever. We’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they have a comfortable environment. We’re happy to discuss any specific needs or preferences before their stay.

“Sonia and her family were absolutely fabulous! We had a last minute booking and she totally came through for us! I felt so comfortable having my pup stay with her and we got so many photos and updates! I would highly recommend using her services for your own pup!”

About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodle, a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!

About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care

“Sara was great. She sent a ton of photos and Reilly had a great time playing with dog Nani who seems very friendly and playful. We would definitely use Sara again”

“Beth was amazing! She was very communicative and kept us updated the entire time, sending so many pictures of our dogs which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I have a dog and he’s my best friend. I probably like dogs better than people. I have patience and lots of love to give to any pupper. I’m available All days of the week. 6am-10pm. I have walked multiple dogs so that shouldn’t be an issue. I like to give lots of attention to the dogs but also understand when they just want to relax. I have trained my dog to do the basic commands so I can keep up with their training if needed as well. I constantly monitor the dogs to make sure they have food and water and aren’t too hot or uncomfortable. So you should hire me to take care of your dog or dogs! I also like cats and can sit them!

About: I have four pets of my own and know how challenging it can be to find care you can trust. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, and am adept at giving medicines, walking, house sitting, and engaging play. I value your animals as I expect my sitters to value my own.! I am a teacher Monday-Friday during the school year from 7am-2:30 pm, but I am happy to do drop in visits before and/or after school during the week and on the weekends I have full availability. I do offer house sitting as long as any family is ok with their pet/s being alone during the day while I am at my other job. On the weekends they would have my full attention unless I am at a drop in. Summers I have wide open availability. I am happy to visit your pet as often and long as needed during those time frames. Because I have two large dogs of my own, I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I provide feeding, walking, medicine-giving, litter box cleaning, stimulating play, and really any specific needs your pet may have.

About: I love animals! I will take care of your pet as my own and love them as my own while you are gone. I am responsible and dependable I am a substitute teacher and love animals.

“I have a 3 month old Goldendoodle puppy and I was hesitant to let her stay overnight anywhere, but I had to this past weekend. Thankfully I connected with Kelley! I felt very comfortable after dropping off my pup and seeing her home and how happy the other dogs were. I really appreciated the updates and photos of my pup Riley throughout her stay. My puppy hadn’t been socialized at all before this stay and with just this one visit I see a big difference in her behavior! She was scared of other dogs and now she is just so comfortable! Thank you Kelley!!! I appreciate you and will be seeing you again soon!”
