“Denni was great! Exceedingly professional and available on short notice, even to do a meet-and-greet before booking, she was quickly able to charm our rather large, rather anxious dog along with the more easygoing members of the pack.”


“Our 2 cats love Marissa. She came and took great care of them while we were away for a few days. She not only cared for them, but she takes great care being in our home as well. We 100% trust her in these situations, and she communicates well regarding what they are doing while she is with them. You won't find anyone better.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs, my own families, friends, and others since I was 12 years old. although I do not currently own a dog due to being a college student. I’m looking for more experiences involving dogs in general and to get more knowledge of training, behaviors etc. for my future. I’m currently taking classes on weekdays, most of my classes on Monday & Wednesday. So I have plenty of time to play with animals! I am relatively very open in my schedule! I want to provide pets with the most positive and reliable care! Making sure pets feel good, familiar in their environment. While giving owners peace of mind. No matter what wanting animals to feel secure and loved. My goal is for pet parents to come home to a reliable service completed! I love dogs and want to share it.

About: I am available over Labor day weekend. I took care of my childhood animals since I was 10. As a teenager a would walk the neighbors dogs and care for their cats and dogs while they went on vacation. As an adult I have had many dogs and cats and a hermit crab called Spidey. I have cared for Animals from puppy/kittyhood to geriatric age. I am retired and when you book me for a house sitting know that I will stay with your fur baby from the time you leave until the time you return.I have been with some animals as pass over the rainbow bridge and have comforted the fur parent. I have administered medicine including insulin to animals. Having a nursing background helps with giving meds. I am a retired RN. I am reliable and caring. Your dogs will have plenty of play time ,nice walks and lots of cuddles. If your cat is anything like mine they will let you know when they are done playing I have a large fenced in yard. Simara enjoys running and playing keep away with her orange football. Obi likes to walk the perimeter. If the owner does not have a yard I will bring the dog to my house to run the fenced yard. I keep my dogs inside just incase my clients animal dose not do well with other animals. In the summer I fill up the baby pool and the dogs romp around in it to cool off

About: Growing up, my family always had cats and dogs, and I cherished every moment spent caring for them. Over my life I’ve cared for a variety of small pets, including guinea pigs, gerbils, degus, hamsters, freshwater fish, and turtles. I’ve personally raised cats, dogs, and guinea pigs of my own. I've been hired by friends, family, and friends of friends and family to care for dogs as drop-ins, over night stays, and boarding in my home (although I cannot offer boarding right now). Currently, I have a Pomeranian named Bonbon that I raised from a puppy, giving me valuable experience in training and care and motivation to continue learning about dog behavior and understanding their needs, which helps me create a safe and loving environment for pets of all ages. I take special care to follow any dietary or health needs your pets may have. With my background and passion for animals, you can trust that your pets will be in caring and capable hands! I work remotely with a pretty flexible schedule and daily work routine - which allows me to step away and do walks, potty breaks, feeding pretty frequently. Depending on the type of care, I would typically need at least 3 to 7 days notice, but don't hesitate to ask if you're in a pinch. I cannot care for pets in my home at this time, but I have experience staying with pets at their homes for up to two weeks. I prioritize following the instructions provided by pet owners and always ask clarifying questions to ensure I understand their needs—communication is key for me, as I prefer not to make assumptions. In emergencies, I remain calm and focused, ensuring the safety and well-being of the pets. Additionally, I respect the owner's home, treating it better than if it were my own.

About: I have had dogs, and have taken care of them since I was 7. I have grown up with puppies, and have experience in training them, as well as taking care of senior dogs. I love playing fetch with them, running around, or just cuddling with them. Any dog, big or small, no matter the breed, I love! I am currently a college student working part time over the summer. I am available anytime I'm not working, so in the morning, afternoon or evening! I take care of my pets every single minute I am home, so it is a normal thing for me. :) I care for pets by following whatever you would like me to do to ensure they feel safe and comfortable around me and their environment. Whether it's walking your dog, playing with them in the backyard, or making sure they follow house rules like staying off the furniture( or cuddling on the couch if that’s allowed) I adapt to your preferences and your pet’s needs!

“Shirley was available at the very last minute to let our dogs out when an unforseen situation kept us away from home for a few hours longer than expected. Our babies just love her! Thanks Shirley!”


About: My experience in pet care goes back to when I was in grade school caring for family friend’s pets and homes while they’re away. I pride myself on understanding animals and making sure they’re comfortable - especially when I’m in their domain! I’m not one to just throw some food in the bowl and call it a day. I make sure to give the fur babies some extra love and have some play time with every check in. I know how important my pets are to me, so I want to make sure clients are cared for in a genuine way. Treat others pets how you’d like yours to be treated, ya know?! I primarily work nights at my “day job,” so I am available every morning & afternoon for check ins or walks. I am also available for late evening check ins after work or midnight walks. I treat my clients how I would want my pets to be taken care of. That means taking the extra time to hang out for a bit and give them some love and pets along with some play time if they’re up for it. Some pets are more playful than others, and every personality is different. I pride myself on catering to each individual and gauging what they want from me. That could vary from giving them personal space to giving them the most pets ever! I take pet parent notes and advice very seriously, and appreciate any insight into how your fur baby thinks. Thank you for letting me care for your family member while you’re away!

“Taylor was amazing ! She was so attentive to the needs of my pup while I was out of town for the day. She had no problems with making sure all of my requests were met and gave my pup so much love and attention! I’ll def. be using her in the future! Thank you again, Taylor!”


“Camrynn did a great job with Gator, she came when she said she would did everything as promised and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely book her again in the future.”


“Megan went above and beyond in caring for our pets. We have a complicated menagerie and had a last minute addition of my daughter's cat. Megan handled everything and kept us up to date on what was happening with our pets. We were able to relax and enjoy vacation, knowing that Megan was taking good care of everyone!!”
