About: With over 50 years of hands-on experience in pet care. I've dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the well-being of animals, especially dogs. For 8 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician, where i gained in-depth medical knowledge and practical skills in animal heath, emergency care and preventative treatment. My background also includes extensive experience in both basic and advanced dog training focusing on obedience, behavior modification and building strong bods between pets and their owners. Over the decades I've cared for animals of all ages, breeds and temperaments - from raising litters of puppies and kittens to providing compassionate support for senior pets. My approach combines patience, consistency and a deep respect and love for every animal's unique personality and needs. Things to consider prior to booking: • Are they friendly with other pets? I have one dog and 3 cats in our home. • Are they able to jump a 5ft fence? • Are they protected against Heartworm, Fleas and Ticks? • Potty Trained? I am happy to help train but just need to know ahead of time. • Up to date on all vaccines? • Big chewers? • Let us know if your pet has any special need or accommodation we should account for! I can accommodate a variety of needs! I am happy to provide whatever care your pet needs & make sure they are happy & comfortable in our home. A few things to know about what I offer: 100% Love and Care I take photos of your pet (I am not a professional photographer) – I will try not to overwhelm you! I do not require a meet and greet but am happy to do so. My preference is to introduce your pet(s) to mine slowly and very controlled environment. SAFETY is my #1 Concern for your pets and for mine. What to bring for your stay: Collar with a tag & leash Food (Label with the amount per meal) - Slow feeder if needed Medications, if needed Kennel (for boarding stays) - Anything to make them comfortable in their kennel (blanket, toys, bed) I generally don’t use a kennel if they are good house guests (no destruction or accidents) they can have house privileges. I will provide: Water Bowls (I have many throughout the house and outside) Foods Bowls Toys - Treats - Chew bones & treats Dog beds around the house (I have many) A Typical Day can be: Wake up and take them out to potty (I have a big, fenced back yard). Feed them breakfast Out for potty about 2 hours (or sooner) after breakfast. Relax, play and/or snooze as they want. Potty breaks are directed by their needs, they let me know they need to potty, and we go outside (I am their servant, and I stay with them while they are outside). They potty and play and then we come in. This goes on all day as needed. Cuddles on command and if they just want to lay around, I’m ok with that as well. I have taken all my dogs (past and present) through many different levels of training session – Puppy, Basic and Advanced. Let me know what you need, and I am happy to help. SPECIAL NOTE with Regard to Cats Cats do their own things and totally dictate their day to day and I respect and honor their wishes! I do have a room set up that they can call their own (if needed) and I have a secure Catio they can hang out in and enjoy fresh air. I am retired and love to help people and their pets. I have lots of free time and want to offer my knowledge and experience to people who have busy lives but want the best for their furbabies. I live on 3/4 acre and I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a dog and 3 cats at home so any pets that need to be watched at my home need to be able to get along with them. I am dependable, trustworthy and honest and can also take care of your pets in your home. If you need to know anything else, please ask.

“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”

About: I've cared for my own and other people's dogs for about 13 years. I've completed a year of dog training at an apprenticeship program and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes! Along with that, I also worked at a doggy daycare where multiple dogs would play together. I've cared for dogs as small as a 5-pound chihuahua to as large as an 85-pound German Shepherd. I can handle different energy levels, whether that's lazing around and short walks, or as long as 2-hour walks! Let me care for your dog and go on mini adventures! I am currently looking for a full-time dog-training apprenticeship, and I think this is the perfect opportunity to continue interacting with animals! I love being able to enjoy a pet's goofy side and seeing their different personalities. In your home, I will follow your instructions exactly. I can be flexible and am a great communicator. If I ever have any questions or concerns about your pet's safety or care, I will message or call you immediately. As for walks, if there is a specific park or place you would like your dog to walk around within a reasonable distance, I will go to it! If there are also special instructions for walks, such as not letting other people pet your dog, if your dog has certain ways to greet people, etc, I will follow those as well!

“This is the third time I have used Derek's cat sitting service, and the interaction and drop-in visits were at the same high caliber as the first two. Derek is friendly, professional, prompt in communication and appointments, trustworthy, and has easily bonded with my cat. Arbus and I were glad you were available again!”

“My kitten Hazel was well cared for while I was on Vacation. Will use Meghan again the next time I am out of town.”

Hailey S.

“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”

About: I am a responsible and reliable person who loves animals, has had five dogs of her own, and wants to help others keep their pets happy and healthy. I’m currently working a shifted schedule. Saturday I am off most of the day. Sunday and Monday I am off the whole day. This is great for people with busy weekend schedules or long work days who need some extra help. I am also an early riser everyday, so I can let you run out of the door without worry or you can just sleep in and know your pet is covered. I ensure all doors are closed and locked when visiting your pup. If we’re leaving for a walk, my attention is fully on the safety of the dog. No matter what, I preemptively cross the street if another person or dog is approaching so we have a fun and safe walk.

“Ashley is great! She has done drop-in visits for my cat on two occasions when I was out of town. I will continue to ask for her help in the future - so glad I found Ashley!”

Kristen M.

“Overall did a decent job. Made sure our cats had food and water and that the litter box was cleaned up. I would have liked more photos and more feedback each day. I appreciated the times that the broom and dustpan pan was used to sweep up extra litter, but maybe put it back in the closet next time instead of across the kitchen counter and stove since that’s where food is prepared. Also, appears that the dust pan chipped somehow and I found the piece over by the tv stand and it came to a sharp point. I don’t care that the dust pan chipped or how it even happened, it’s plastic, but I wouldn’t have wanted my cats to get a hold of that and something accidentally happen.”

Brianne H.

Claire S.

“Trisha took great care of Grace on a last minute request. The pictures and updates were thorough.”

Kyle L.

“Claudia was wonderful! She kept me posted daily with pictures of my cat. She went the extra mile and swept the floors where Mickey kicked his litter around, which he loves to do. Thanks for taking good care of my kitty! He was happy as a clam when I returned.”
