Jada did a wonderful job watching my three pups for a week while I was out of town! The communication was on point and the photo updates of my babies were greatly appreciated. My favorite part was that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions instead of assuming things. Would definitely recommend Jada to anyone looking for a sitter that fills all the boxes!

About: Passionate and Experienced Pet Care Provider Hello, pet parents! My name is Addie, and I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members. With over 18 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes to ensure their happiness and well-being. My background as a veterinary technician for three years has given me extensive knowledge in animal health, behavior, and medical care. Whether your pet requires special attention, medication administration, or simply an extra dose of love, I am fully equipped to meet their needs. I have hands-on experience training dogs, helping them develop good manners and confidence, making me a great match for pets with energetic personalities or specific training goals. I offer a range of services, including dog walking, house sitting, drop-in visits, and personalized pet care tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs a structured walk to burn off energy or your cat needs a little extra playtime while you’re away, I strive to make every interaction enriching and stress-free. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated like my own—with love, respect, and attention to detail. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets! Let’s create the best pet care experience together! Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life and something I am truly passionate about. Having grown up caring for animals and working as a veterinary technician, tending to pets’ needs has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s going for walks, providing companionship, or ensuring a pet’s health and well-being, I genuinely enjoy every aspect of pet care. Since I recently moved to the area, I have full availability to dedicate my time to your pets. This flexibility allows me to accommodate various schedules, whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care. No matter your pet’s routine, I am here to provide consistent and attentive care to keep them happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away. I currently offer pet care services in my clients’ homes, ensuring that pets remain in a familiar and comfortable environment while receiving the best possible care. Whether it’s dog walking, house sitting, or drop-in visits, I tailor my approach to fit each pet’s unique needs and routine. When staying in a client’s home, I provide attentive and loving care, maintaining their pet’s usual schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I keep their environment clean, follow any special instructions regarding medication or training, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. If a pet requires extra care, such as medical attention or behavioral reinforcement, I am fully equipped to handle it with my veterinary technician background and dog training experience. For dog walking, I provide structured and engaging walks that suit the dog’s energy level, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a high-energy walk, I adjust to their pace and preferences. No matter the service, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering reliable, compassionate care to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Hailee was AMAZING!! Ryker took to her right away like he had known her his whole life. He did great while we were gone. We were worried he wouldn't eat well and be sad (he lost his companion a few months ago) but he did so good and ate well. I think it's because Hailee has a way with animals, I think they are drawn to her ❤️. We will definitely use Hailee in the future!

I ended up canceling the booking right before the sitting but the experience I had with Ashley was wonderful! She was willing to come over and meet my pup beforehand and Rue took to her immediately. I felt very comfortable having Ashley stay over for the week at my house. I hated that I had to cancel at the last minute because I know Rue would have LOVED Ashley. Highly recommend her!!

We recently had the pleasure of having Riley take care of our pets during an 8-day family vacation, and we couldn't be happier with her service. From the moment we left, Riley provided us with daily updates and pictures, keeping us informed about how our pets were doing. This thoughtful communication gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. Riley's dedication and care were evident in every update. Our pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for throughout our time away. It's clear that Riley has a genuine love for animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. We will definitely be rebooking Riley for any future pet care needs. She is reliable, compassionate, and goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are well taken care of. Thank you, Riley, for your outstanding service!

About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.

A true pet lover! My male adult cat is a bit stand of fish. She always treated him with kindness! Even when he ran off with her hair ties! Good natured , bubbly personality. Took care of Loki when I was gone. Feeding him and filling his water glass. YES, he’s one of those! Spoiled !
