About: Your pets will be in purr-fect paws with me! As a proud cat mom of 3 and dog owner of 1, I know how to give the best cuddles, playtime, and treats. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to continue their pets routine while away. I ensure that safety, your pets needs, and owner updates are part of my care. I’m currently taking online classes, therefore I’m available during most of the day and can tailor my schedule towards your pets needs! Weekend availability can be discussed, any scheduling concerns on your end can be addressed before booking. Depending on your home, my services include pet walking, cleaning the surrounding environment (such as litter boxes), play time, and other service requests. For large dog breeds, I prefer to have a brief visit beforehand so we get to know each other and feel comfortable. Having clear instructions also helps me provide the best care for your pet! My priority is building trust with your pet and ensuring safety and environmental needs are met.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. They quickly became my best friends. I currently own 4 and I could not imagine my life without them. It’s their world, I’m just living in it. I have a full time job but always make time to care for our little fur babies. I have very high energy and love to walk to clear my mind. I live in a gated community, with four furry friends ready to meet yours. Lots of lovely walking trails near me and plenty of grass.
About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, including multiple dogs, puppies, and cats.

In addition to my professional experience, I've also provided pet care for family and friends, ensuring their pets are always safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it's administering medication, managing high-energy pups, or providing calm companionship for senior dogs, I am committed to providing the highest level of care for your furry friends. I am available in the morning from 6:30-8:30 and 4:00-8:00 pm. My hours are varied on the weekends. Please contact me for more details. Thank you! My pets are a part of the family, they make us whole in every way. We love to go on walks and play fetch in the yard. We also enjoy a classic hallmark movie together.
“Keira was so sweet and helpful to my kitty girls while I was out of town. Great communication, genuinely seems to love animals and went above and beyond by asking if they needed an extra check in during some bad storms. Will definitely reach out again for her services!”

“Yesi was great!!! I have three cats, and that’s a LOT of food, water, and litter pans to take care of. I was able to relax on my trip and not worry about my animals, bc I knew that they were well cared for. I will definitely be a repeat customer. I looked forward every day to the photo and report card, and laughed out loud one day when Yesi reported that she heard one of my cats snoring!!!!😸😆 I highly recommend Yesi - she’s very professional, from the meet and greet all the way through my trip. I truly had peace of mind the whole time I was gone.”
