“Danielle is leash training and has made great progress in a short period of time. She also has taken the time to share her strategies so we can reinforce the training on our own. We are excited to continue. Danielle is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We had to reschedule due to local storms and the stress that this causes our boys. But she was mindful to check in and verify that it was what we preferred.”

I take care of animals every single day, that is mostly my own, but it’s a job that comes naturally to me.

Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard.

About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.

About: I have been taking care of my own animals since I was little. I have experience with puppies and kittens to seniors dogs and cats! I have 2 cats and 4 dogs of my own so I'm a good fit with multiple furry friends! I work part-time but my job is flexible with my schedule. Just let me know 1 week what special care your buddy needs in advance so I can plan accordingly to their schedule! I have my phone ringer on 24/7 and I can give many updates. If something seems off about your pet I will contact you immediately.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, I’m confident handling different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to each pet’s routine and comfort. My goal is to make your dog feel secure and loved while you're away—just like you never left. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and companionship during most daytime hours Monday through Friday. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to help them feel secure and relaxed. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite walking routes—and make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and rest in a calm, stress-free environment.

About: I am just a huge fan of animals. I have taken care of friend’s and family member’s pets for over a decade now, and really want to spread my love of animals outside my circle! I am a Cat Lady through and through, and really love to meet new cats. I have experience with anything from scaredy cats to rambunctious ones. I love learning about cat psychology, and I definitely think it helps me connect with new feline friends. I offer predominately feline care, but am happy to meet their canine siblings and see if I’m a good fit for your family! I am currently a stay at home wife who really wants to contribute financially to our household. We have no kids, and my husband works from home. Essentially, I’m fully available to take care of your animals! Because we are both always home, I definitely have large freedoms in the times and days I am available! I am happy to follow any and all care instructions you may have for your furry family member. Personally, I am the main pet caretaker of our home, and I take great pride in making sure my animals are always fed on a schedule, clean and comfortable. Litter box scooping and disinfecting happens every day or every other day. All our animals (and your animals too if I have permission!) are showered with high quality treats, chews, bedding and food. Sometimes I get jealous of how good our pets have it! Lol

“Debbie Albano for Lauren Lauren’s just been a blessing to me and my dogs. She takes my little Yorkie, Goliath, for walks and gives him all the attention he needs.
