About: I've been around animals since I was a kid. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats. I have a dog at home and have dog-sat for friends and family since I was a teenager. Whether it's taking a long walk or cuddling on the couch, I am happy to give your pet whatever they need. I have a dog at home so I am used to going on walks every day and a feeding routine. I've taken her to vet appointments and given her various medications for routine stuff like tick protectant. Over the years, I've helped friends and family take care of pets including walks, dog sitting, baths, and even puppy play dates. I do not offer boarding at my home but I plan to be respectful of both pet owners space as well as your pet's space. No matter where the pet is, whether that's on a walk or in a fenced yard, I will be alert and focused on the safety of your pet.

About: I have been helping my sister with this for a while, trying the app on my own! I also have been taking care of animals since I was a young one, my household was always filled with animals from fur babies to reptiles to fish. However, I didn't just grow up with pets, I learned how to bond with them and really understand what it means to care for an animal. From playful to shy, I meet every animal where they are at and give them the love and attention. I also have experience working with animals from my time spent working at a pet store. I am reliable, communicative, and treat every pal like family. Rest assured your pal is in safe hands! I have open availability. Caring for animals is a peaceful part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks or check ins, I make time for them. For me, spending time with animals keeps me grounded and joyful. It's more than a job, it something I look forward to day to day. My home is calm, clean, and filled with love - pets settle in pretty easily after the owner departs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, so your pal feels safe and secure. Whether they are here long term or just overnight every pal gets treated with 10/10 care!

“Thank you Cassandra for taking care of Poe! Cassandra came and met Poe before our scheduled drop-in / walk appointments. He’s a big guy and she was ready to work with him. Sent pictures and updates about how each day went, and I came home to a happy pup. She clearly cared about him and is reliable. Highly recommend and will book again as schedule permits. Five star”

About: I have been tending to family and friends' pets for years, including stopping by their homes to care for their furry loved ones by providing food, walks, and companionship. These pets ranged in age from a few months to 14 years! In addition, I have professional animal experience as I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior with my most recent position allowing me to work with seals and sea lions- the sea dogs of our world! I am currently between jobs so I have ample time to care for your pets! I am available from early in the morning to later in the evening for walks and drop-ins, as well as available at night for stayovers. I have a reliable vehicle so I am able to go to your home for your pets whenever is needed. I also am a fast and reliable responder to keep you updated throughout the visit and to alert you to any possible issues that may come up.

About: I’ve had animals since I could walk. They have always been a part of my life. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years, working with dogs, cats, horses, and even goats. I bathed dogs, took them on walks, and even administered medicine when needed. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a ton of time to spend caring and playing with your furry friends! My daughter loves animals as well and treats them with respect! I have big yard with tons of space for your dogs to roam! If you would like, I have space for their crates as well.

“My dog loved Grace the moment she came into the house. She has a wonderful calming presence and my dog catty responded well to it. Grace kept me up to date with their walks, posting pictures of their outings. When I’m away, it soothes me to know he is in such loving and capable hands!”

We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family. We do not accept pets with: 🚫 Aggression or reactivity 🚫 Destructive behavior 🚫 Ongoing house-training issues 🚫 Unsafe behavior around children 🚫 Excessive barking, howling, whining 🚫 Inability to be left alone briefly for long stays 🚫 Have owners who are unresponsive to urgent concerns 🚨 Undisclosed Behavior Fees: Severe Separation Anxiety: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Excessive Barking: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Aggression or Reactivity: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Unsafe Around Kids: Immediate pickup or $250/Night 💛 Why This Matters We’re calm, patient, and truly love caring for animals — but on rare occasions, we’ve had difficult experiences with neglectful pet owners that created unsafe or stressful situations. That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love. Availability: Joshua works full time from home, and Kaitlin stays home full time so we tend to have open availability to care for your loved pets. Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)
