About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!

Devon provided excellent care for our two cats with drop in visits in our home during our vacation. She is very warm and kind with our cats and provided them with lots of love and attention. She was also very communicative and provided daily updates and photos. She delivered on all of our many requests and even provided more extended care above and beyond our contracted terms. We are very selective with our pet care and we have worked with many different pet sitters over the years in close relationships. I would say that Devon is one of the best we’ve ever worked with and I would not hesitate to recommend her services.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I live right near a dog park, and love taking the dogs there on my walks. I do walking, boarding, sitting, and daycare. I am home full time and my partner is often home, so we have plenty of time to love on your best friend! We love taking them to the dog park across the street. We love boarding dogs in our home. Since we can’t commit to getting our own dog, it is our passion to spend time with other dogs!

About: I've had a dog for 16 years that I've taken care of, walked, fed, etc. I have also watched friends dogs while they were away. Not to brag - but I've gotten along with every dog I've ever met! :) I’m currently unemployed and can watch your pup whenever during the week (Mon-Fri). Happy to walk or sit your pup in the morning, mid-day or evening! I walk, feed and play with pets of all shapes and sizes! I love to take long walks and go to the dog park so your pup can get a little exercise in. I also love lounging around and relaxing if that's what your dog prefers!

Emily watched my cat Niele again in October and, as always, did a wonderful job! She’s reliable, thoughtful, and keeps me updated with photos that give total peace of mind while I’m away. Niele is always relaxed and content when I return — clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found such a caring and dependable sitter. Highly recommend!
