“Kristin was very thorough with we of her drop in visits and her notes while we were away from our fur kitties! She was also quickly responsive and even called us when she was concerned about our kitty not taking all his meds. The kitties clearly took her no problem by the photos she sent. We would definitely let her care for our fur babies again! Thank you!”
“Kara did an incredible job handling my anxious big boy. Talking through some things she was seeing and keeping me incredibly well informed. Her care and attention is clear to see from the moment she starts interacting to the conclusion of the visit. Many thanks Kara!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
About: I have been around and had cats and dogs all my life. In the past 5 years I’ve learned even more since having a German Shepherd in my life 😂😍. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 7 ferrets. I spoil them and love on all of them. I have trained my dogs to not jump on people, sit and stay. A few of my ferrets let me potty train them lol. I just left my career in corrections to be a part time nanny and pet sitter. I have commitments at various times on different days but have breaks in between and no on-going commitments in the evenings or weekends. My pet first aid/cpr certification is through the Red Cross. N/A. My services will be drop in and walks. If it was ever necessary for a dog to come to my home I have a fenced in back yard. 6 foot privacy fence.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, the last 13 years we have had 5 dogs and 2 cats in our home. Like most animals lovers we treat our animals like family, because they are. Three of our pups are seniors (12, 14 and 15 years old) that requires daily meds and special treatment. So I have no problems giving medications if needed. I have a passion for making sure each of our animals feel loved, appreciated and safe every single day. I'm available every single day, morning, noon or night, what ever your pets needs are, I'm here to help. Please contact me for your scheduling needs. We have a fenced in yard for our dogs to go outside and play as much as they want. Safety is no issue at our house.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a teenager! I will take care of all your pets needs! From dogs and cats to birds and rats, I love them all. From puppies to seniors, I will make sure they get all the love and attention they need while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule and I can work around all of your pet needs. I'm available on weekends, overnight and extended stays if needed. I have 4 dogs at home that love playdates, a fenced in yard and a dedicated area for them to have some down time away from all of the action.
“Lexi took great care of our senior dog and was attentive to all of his needs. She responds quickly to messages, and is pleasant to deal with. We would definitely use her again.”
About: I have a dog of my own he is a 4-year-old 105lb golden retriever named Finn. I also have done dog walks for family and friends. As well as feed them or be their pets buddy for a little bit while they're away. I do have another part-time job but asides from that I'm pretty free! I would be willing to do dog walks in the morning, afternoon, or early evening. I take my dog on walks every day. I also feed him, bathe him and play with him. He's an energetic dog so we must do a lot of play time! I live in an area with many houses but not on a main road so the pet's safety will be excellent!
“She was very flexible and accommodating with my last-minute requests and changes to the schedule, and kept me well informed on feeding and care updates. She was thorough, attentive, and greatly put my mind at ease that my cats were okay while I was gone for almost three days. Thank you so much Brook!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of various kinds for as long as I can remember! I have always found pride in being reliable and trustworthy to take care of my friend’s and family’s animals whenever asked. I have a full-time job, but can be available for drop ins multiple times a day! I currently work between the hours of 8:30AM-4:30PM, so I can do drop-ins both before and after work! :) It is extremely important to me that you feel comfortable having me around your fur baby. I always ensure that I can have the pets in my eyesight, whether we are indoors or outdoors.
About: I grew up with dogs..German Shepards, Labs, Poodles, Shi Tzu. Over the years I, and now my sons, have been dog sitters for friends for years. Recently our family has expanded with Remington, Remifor short. He’s got a loud bark, but a gentle and very playful soul. Id love get to help you care for and love your pet when your schedule is needing it, and it allows more furry friends for Remi! Scheduling is somewhat flexible. Your baby will have all of the attention and love needed. I have a 1/2 acre yard that has the entire backyard completely fenced in. We have ponds in our community and lots of areas for your baby to run and play. I have no doubt you’ll have great peace of mind in knowing your fur baby is well taken care of. We have a dog of our own. So he goes out at 7am & gets his first walk and feeding of the day. With my fenced in yard he has the freedom to come and go as he wishes when weather permits. He gets a few treats during the day, as we’re always working on his manners and tricks. Around 7pm he gets last feeding and a treat before bed. He’s usually ready to crash about 9pm. I have a fenced in yard, one male dog, and flexible scheduling to accommodate potty breaks and feedings. I also have a large crate available if needed.

Hayley C.
“We chose Hayley to walk our Gracie while we work. She absolutely loves her. Grace does this little excited twirl thing when she sees people she loves,..so of course she puts on a little tap dancing show when she sees Hayley walk through the door. At one point, we had her come stay at our house while we went out of town for the night,..that’s how much we all love her. Thank you, Hayley for being my ‘go-to’ for helping with our Grace❤️”
