“Megan is a wonderful dog walker. She is always on timer and takes extra care to figure out what’s best for them. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
2. Debbie A.
“Debbie is an amazing pet sitter. I’ve been using her services for around 5 years now when I go out of town. I have 5 cats and a dog. She would send me picture updates daily of my fur children to let me know they were doing good. She would follow all my instructions for care and feeding. I’ve never once had an issue. When I’m out of town I can always have a good time and not worry about if my pets are taken care of because I know Debbie has it covered. She really loves all animals and she always has their best interest at heart. When I need to go out of town my first call will always be to Debbie”

About: Welcome! I’ve taken care of dogs for 10+ years and would love to meet your furr baby! I have experience with different sized pets, age, and temperaments. As a dog mom with special needs, I understand the complexity of trusting someone with my pets, and thats the same commitment I offer to you and your loved one. I have a full time job with 2 furr babies and otherwise open availability. Fully available on the weekends and for the most part major holidays as well. I would love to be of assistance! The services that I offer would all be at your home! Unfortunately as of now, I dont have the availability to host pets at my place.
6. Joan G.
About: I’ve had a Basset hound and a Weimaraner over 15 years. I’ve owned 4 extremely well behaved, adjusted, and playful cats for over 20 years. I am available anytime Monday through Friday and Sunday night. I would rather try dog walking and sitting before I start boarding your fur baby. I love cats - they’re so curiously entertaining ! I can bathe dogs, play an excellent round of fetch, and give them lots of love a attention. Cats: play toys, scratchpads, shoestrings, balls w bells, and brushing, when they prefer. I’ve got lots of dog toys- balls, chew bones, frisbees squeaky toys. I gave away my dog harnesses, but still have my retractable leash. If they like going out on the town, I love going to pet smart to just look around and pick out a toy. They have pup cups at Pelicans- if their sugar is under control, and then go to dog park, or just playing and keeping him company in the home. I’m very good at attending to both dogs & cats. I do not spank ( with my hand or an object, like a newspaper) or hit animals, nor use a water sprayer to punish animals if they’ve done something bag/ wrong. I use redirection and a stern tone and shake my finger at them. They usually respond well to that. Then when I see them doing the right thing I reward them with enthusiastic positive talk. For bigger issues, I always have treats in my pocket, using instant gratification.

8. Jaylah-Skye H.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and attention to each pet's needs. I make sure to give your pets plenty of care, attention, and playtime while you're away, so they feel comfortable and happy. Whether it's following their routine or offering extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they're my own. I have 5+ years of experience with pets, I've had many pets over the years, and even dog and cat sat for friends and family! I'm currently in college with a bunch of extra time on my hands. I only have classes Tuesday-Thursday and I still can accommodate you and your pets needs on those days as well. During drop-in visits, I focus on providing the same level of attention and care your pet is used to at home. I’ll follow your pet’s routine—whether it's feeding, playtime, or walks—and make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’ll also spend quality time with them, offering affection and companionship to keep them relaxed while you're away. If your pet has any special needs or preferences, I’ll make sure to follow those too, so they feel safe and well cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of my own fur baby for the past 10 years and have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their own fur babies. I know the attention and care our fur babies deserve by everyone. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment which allows me the flexibility to take care of your fur baby as needed. I am available weekdays and some weekends as well. I myself have a dog who is very anxious and scared of other dogs and people so I know how to handle certain dogs with special attention.

There will be plenty of potty breaks, walks, treats, rubs, and cuddles! I work part-time from home and spend all day with my dogs. I have plenty of time during the day to cater and take care of any animal in my care! I have 2 friendly dogs that can keep your fur babies company if they suffer from separation anxiety or just love to play! I am able to keep them separated without being crated if you don't want them interacting with other animals. If you want them crated, I am also able to do this. If your pet will be with me all day, then there will be several walks taken and plenty of play time. If they need medicine, I am able to give them any meds they need.
