About: I have more than 15 years dog-sitting experience. I'm a certified dog walker with Dog-tec and am proficient in first aid. I have a decades long resume working as a licensed Healthcare provider. Thus, I'm comfortable caring for animals with special needs. I currently own 3 cats and 2 Yorkies. Keeping a dog engaged is essential to my time with them. I love to incorporate training with my dog clients so as to forge a deep trusting bond with them. My house has a separate baby-gated room for the cats, however the 2 young ones like to be out with the family. I hope to work with you and your pups and kitties! I have lots of time to spoil your pets! My dogs love to walk the neighborhood and enjoy the country air. I recently cared for my senior dog and have provided needed medical care. I have a fenced yard and supervise pets when outside. I have 3 cats and 2 Yorkies who get along with other dogs. I can crate your dog as needed if preferred.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds and sizes since I was 12, and have always had satisfied clients with no issues ever. I have worked in many different settings caring for animals including dogs, cats, horses, and goats.

I have open availability for the foreseeable future, so please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. I am also very flexible with days and times! I am very cautious and protective when it comes to ensuring your pets’ safety and keeping them happy and healthy is my number one priority no matter what the circumstances are.

About: I have been around many different kinds of animals. Family and friends have always been able to rely on me to take care of the animals with my who heart and soul. I work part-time at a restaurant and i work mainly in the mornings and some nights. Usually only to 10-3 or 5-10. So I don’t work a whole lot. Within my clients home their animals will be given the best belly rubs and pets I can give. I will do everything with the best of my ability.

About: As far back as I can remember, I’ve had at least two dogs and would have 10 if I could! I love all animals of all ages and needs.

Drop-in’s even multiple times daily are my favored availability but I can do over night if needed. We have two dogs that are primarily indoor but have access to a fenced yard through a doggie door. If dogs need to be separated, we kennel. Slow introductions to people and pets are a must.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—there’s never been a time I didn’t have at least one dog or cat by my side. I currently have a large German Shepherd and a sweet cat, so I’m very used to managing different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills, ear drops, and topical treatments. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, attention, and lots of cuddles! As a stay-at-home wife, I have plenty of time and flexibility in my daily routine to give pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, giving medication, or just spending quality time playing or cuddling, I’m available throughout the day to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Overnight stays are never a problem—I’m home most of the time, so your pet will have constant companionship, comfort, and care, even at night. My home is a pet-friendly, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for. With a large dog and a cat of my own, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different pets. I provide plenty of walks, outdoor time, indoor play, cuddles, and basic training using positive reinforcement. I prioritize creating a calm, happy space where pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need every day. I bring this same level of care, attention, and affection to your pet’s home, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

“We felt very safe leaving our dogs for an extended time with Pamela. She took great care of our 3 big dogs. Even took care of one who was a week post surgery and she handled giving pills to a dog who was a tad difficult. We can’t wait to have Pamela stay with them again!”

About: My name is Elizabeth. I have taken care of all kinds of animals from chickens to snakes to peacocks and cows. I grew up around dogs and farm animals my mother loved parrots and macaws, so I also know about them and their temperament. Instead of babysitting children as a teenager I baby sat my mom’s friend’s farms and my friend’s houses and pets. I’m a caring knowledgeable candidate that grew up around it all. I was a grounds keeper for a little bit, but I moved. I love all animals, even the reptiles (I had a turtle). I’m currently in the works of starting my own business as an event planner. My schedule is very open and I’m willing to work around my schedule to make your own easier! I treat my pet like she is my child. She is a nine year old Chesapeake bay retriever mix so the temperament of an angel. She is super lazy, but she loves other dogs and is the friendliest baby you could ever meet. She goes outside and she goes on walks 4 to 5 times a day. She gets fed twice a day and her water bowl is never empty. She is up to date on all vaccines and I have proof of all her medical records. If a dog has any issues with her she has a separate area just for her.

We could not be happier with the way Madison cared for our sweet Ruby Sue! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but Madison was so great about sending us updates and pictures of our girl! It was very obvious that Ruby loved her and she loved Ruby!
