“Our dog Finley had an unfortunate accident before madi got to our apartment for their walk. Not only did she clean it up for us but she went out of her way to mop the floor and take our trash out afterwards! 100% recommend Madi to anyone. She goes above and beyond for the pets she looks after!”

About: I have had at least one pet my entire life. I am as passionate about Cats as I am Dogs. I recently lost my 15 year old Dachshund. He was the love of my life ( sorry Husband). Currently we have three Senior Dogs. We would have more if we had a bigger home. I recently left my position as a Client Care Supervisor at a local Animal Hospital. I was there for twelve years and it was by far the best work experience I have ever had. I adore Senior Cats, Kittens and every Cat in between those life stages. Same with Dogs. Senior Dogs delight me as much as any Puppy. Any Animal in my presence is immediately my favorite Animal. During my years at the Animal Hospital I was never medically trained . I did however learn to recognize symptoms of common medical issues and signs that a Pet needs immediate medical attention. I would love to make your Pet ( or Pets ), my new Best Friend. I am currently unemployed while I participate in an advanced 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have a fairly flexible daytime, night and weekends schedule. I would like to meet any pets and their owners before walking them or house sitting. I would adhere to the pet owner’s standard of care. I will provide as many photos and updates as the pet owner wants.
About: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications orally and topically, cats, reptiles, large mammals, and more! Happy to learn what makes your pet an individual. I work from home full time, which allows me to love on your pets even more! whether that’s going to your place during the day or them coming here, whatever works. My cats love company and I am more than happy to travel to your place. I love walks and will be so happy to take your dog on an adventure!

“Rachael is very reliable, she’s always on time and spends more time with my dog than she has to which shows that she really cares and wants to make sure my dog is well taken care of while I’m at work.”
About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!
About: I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and personalities; from tiny lap dogs to powerful Akitas, and from playful kittens to senior cats with medical needs. With 28 years of experience, I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s giving medication, going on long walks, scooping litter boxes, or just offering some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m able to tailor my routine around their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my day; I genuinely enjoy it and always make it a priority! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or instructions closely to help pets feel at ease and keep their environment familiar. I make sure they’re never left unattended for long, always have access to fresh water, and get plenty of love and attention. I also keep spaces clean, secure, and calm; whether it’s cozy nap time or active playtime, I aim to create a stress-free, loving environment.
“Gretchen has a real love that for animals which shows. She was flexible when I had plans change, and spent extra time with my pets, even showing extra concern for the security of my home. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to take care of your family!”
“Gaby is awesome all around and attentive to my dog, Emmy’s, specific needs and personality.She is a very clear and prompt communicator, and goes the extra mile for your dog!”
About: I have close attention to detail, which is important when caring for pets. I’m able to identify behavior and appetite changes and provide proper care. I am patient, kind & caring. I have an open schedule during the summertime. When I’m not caring for others’ animals, I’m spending time loving on my own cat and often caring for my MIL’s senior dog. I pay close attention not only to giving your pet lots of love, but also their behaviors and appetite to ensure they are healthy & happy. I love to take dogs for walks and provide a comfortable and clean environment for cats & dogs. Pets can sometimes be apprehensive when meeting a new caregiver, so it’s important to be patient & kind as they get to know me and become comfortable.
“Madison is really patient and sweet with my 3-year-old Boxer, Sophie. Madison's communication is great and she's very reliable. I am so happy that I found someone I trust to walk my dog. Sophie's had 4 walks with Madison so far, and she gets so excited when she knows Madison is coming to get her!”
About: I have a lifetime of animal care experience and have been running my little business, Pet Care Partners, LLC, since 2019 and have offered a variety of services. I currently offer dog walking, dog training, day time drop ins for dogs, cats and critters and dog boarding in my home. I live with my husband and our children ages 14 and 11 who help me care for the doggos who stay with us. I'm passionate about providing excellent care for your pet and frequent communication with you. I require an in person Meet and Greet before committing to caring for a new dog to make sure this is a great fit for all involved. Please inquire at least 2 weeks before you need care so we have plenty of time to meet beforehand. I work part time hours and typically have availability 7 days a week. For drops in your home, I am available between the hours of 9:00am and 7:00pm so my services are the best fit for cats, critters and doggos are who are just alone for the day. I always require a meet and greet for new clients, so please inquire at least 2 weeks in advance if you are new to Pet Care Partners! I have a fenced in backyard, and protocols around doors to prevent escapes. We prepare our home for the well-being of each individual dog guest. For example if your dog loves to play with plush dog toys I will leave plenty out! If your dog is at risk for swallowing toys and getting hurt I will put them away during his visit.
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently between jobs waiting for a seasonal position, so I am available anytime, other than the occasional appointment or vacation. Available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.
“Sounded like a great week of daily walks. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Daniel was awesome! Not only did he wipe their muddy paws after the walk, but he took off their muddy jackets. Thank you for going above and beyond for my girls. We can’t wait to have you come again!”
