About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

Molly was fabulous while watching our 3 cats for a week in our home! She was very attentive to their quirky needs and individual personalities. She was very patient while waiting out their shy, adjustment period. She administered meds to 2 of the 3, twice daily, which sometimes isn’t a smooth process! Molly was efficient and resourceful when dealing with our “disappearing” older female who re-surfaced after Molly’s efforts! She followed our instructions and reached out very responsibly when she had questions or concerns. We returned to a perfectly clean, fresh smelling home and 3 very content felines! We very much appreciated her daily updates with pictures! Will definitely hire her again for our next trip! Sincerely, David and Nora

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

I have an elderly dog which can be challenging, but she handles every situation with care and understanding. Kathy was even so kind as the bring in our packages and the trash can (we have a very long driveway). I highly recommend Kathy. She was the perfect house/dog-sitter.

About: I’ve lived with animals all my life and have experience with several different species, including dogs, cats, birds, and rodents. I have been responsible for my own pets since a young age and am familiar with general care, as well as administering oral and topical medications. I am a lover of all animals and am not easily frightened by them. Neighbors, friends, and family members typically turn to me if they need pet care for a trip. I am working part-time and attending college part-time, so there’s plenty of free spots in my schedule to turn my attention to pet care! I am quite flexible although my availability may change from week to week, so be sure to take a look at my I am confident but gentle when working with pets and I would never do a job I didn’t feel comfortable with. Safety for both me and the pet is my top priority! If I agree to any service you are requesting, you can know that I feel 100% confident I can do the job well.
