“Had Amber come over for a training session. She was punctual and prepared when she showed up. Listened to directions super well and was really friendly! Loved working with her and will definitely book again!”

“Georgia was so helpful and really gave us peace of mind that Chloe was taken care of while we were away! She’s diabetic, so we had to find someone willing to come by twice a day to give her insulin and Georgia was perfect for that. We will definitely book her for our future travels!”
“Gabrielle was great! She was available for me last minute. She kept me updated about the dogs and sent me photos that gave me a reassurance that they were in good hands! Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs—from those on strict schedules requiring medication and extra attention, to high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as more easygoing pets who simply need love and companionship. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m committed to following your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy building my schedule around consistency and responsibility. I plan my day to ensure pets are fed on time, get the exercise they need, and receive plenty of attention and care. Whether that means morning walks, playtime during the day, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs, including longer visits, extended walks, or additional care if needed. I’m very dependable and make pet care a priority, so you can feel confident your dog will be well cared for and treated like family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I also treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. I provide updates while you’re away so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Rachel was fantastic, and our Penny loved her! Rachel was very prompt with all of her communications, and she offered to come by and do a meet and greet before our appointment with her. We also appreciated her willingness to stop by for a second puppy visit after we found out we would be delayed getting home. Great young lady and a great puppy sitter!”

“absolutely the best! when Jaclyn is booked for my cat, i always feel confident when going out of town. she’s prompt, courteous and accommodating and i know my cat trusts her! 😊”

About: Not only have I had pets my entire life, but I've helped care for friend's and family's pets, too. I worked in a doggie daycare for a bit, so I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I'm currently on summer break from teaching, so I'm home with my kiddos all day and am available to help care for your fur babies. I'm comfortable letting animals out into fenced yards or on leash as needed for potty breaks. I can help cleanup accidents inside or scoop liter during visits. I'm happy to help supervise playtime, feedings, or general activity during visits. I'm comfortable crating dogs when leaving, if needed. Whatever instructions you provide, I can execute and ensure your pet is well cared for!
“Bill and Marie did an excellent job of taking care of our cat Holly. She is a shy cat and this was the first time that we had left her for an extended time period. After a few days she warmed up to them and sat on Bill’s lap. They watered our plants and shoveled the snow which was much appreciated. When we need someone to take care of Holly again we will definitely contact Bill!”
