Samantha took great care of our fur babies! We were able to go on vacation and relax, knowing they were in loving hands. A few unexpected things popped up, and Samantha didn’t hesitate to step in and take care of it.

Ashlyn was amazing! She sent pictures to me for each visit, let me know when she arrived and left each time, and what Maui did while she was here. When we got home, we also had a cute snapshot of Maui laying on the counter. Ashlyn went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her!

We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have owned 8 dogs total, with as many as four at one time. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds and personalities, from Great Danes and German Shepherds to Sheepadoodles, Airedales, and mixed breeds. I’m very comfortable with both large and small dogs, energetic dogs, and puppies. I also have experience around litters of puppies since one of my dogs had puppies multiple times while I was growing up, so I’m used to younger dogs and all the energy that comes with them. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s playing, going on walks, giving attention, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m very patient, responsible, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m a college student home for break, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of free time. I just ask for 3 days notice for changes! I have two big dogs at home, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs and daily care routines. I love playing, cuddling, feeding, and keeping pets active and comfortable.

About: I’m a big animal lover and enjoy being around pets of all kinds. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I know how important pets are to their families, so I’ll do my best to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working a part time job for a couple hours a day a few times a week I’m a very active person I like to get out of the house and get things done. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine and any care instructions from their owner.

About: I grew up with dogs and all of my kids have dogs, so not only am I a grandpa, I was a dog grandpa first! I also sit and love cats. They always find me. Had four dogs in my house for many times watching when my kids traveled, but now they moved so I have more time to get my fur feed. I take walks and would love to walk your pups but also can follow your guidelines doing the best to keep their routine. I work from home but occasionally have appointments outside of the home, so I am very available to work with your schedule. I will share my schedule with you when booking. I have a fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walking. Friendly home environment with access to fresh food/water and sunshine. Your dog/cat will be well-loved.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages and sizes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to provide personalized care, attention, and affection. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a full time nurse with a flexible schedule! As a nurse who works night shifts 3 times a week, I have flexibility to provide reliable pet care at all different times. My schedule allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I am organized, dependable, and accustomed to caring for others, which carries over into the attention and patience I give every pet. I make pet care a priority in my routine and ensure each pet receives the time, affection, and care they deserve! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner's instructions to maintain their normal rutine. In a client's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well.

About: Hi, I’m Shanna! I provide care at your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their normal routine while you’re away. As a remote worker, I’m able to stay at your home during work hours - great for pets who are used to company throughout the day! My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I am happy to follow detailed instructions, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. Specialties: I have a soft spot for shy or nervous pets, and I take extra care to follow their lead and let them warm up at their own pace. My experience caring for my own anxious and reactive dog has given me extra understanding for pets who need a predictable environment and time to build trust. I am also experienced with puppies and young dogs, and I understand the importance of consistency, routine reinforcement, and providing outlets for their energy while they’re still learning. Meet & Greet: I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet with new clients to make sure everyone feels comfortable and that we are a good match. For safety, my husband Nathan may join me for this first visit, but all pet care and in-home services are always provided by me. I work primarily from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around your pet's needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, or spending extra time keeping them company. I truly enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the care and respect I’d want for my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet (and your space) in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. For pets, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, and their safety and well-being is always my top priority. In your home I am very mindful that I am a guest. I keep things clean, make sure everything stays secure, and treat your space with respect. I aim to leave everything just as you left it. I am happy to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, either from friends, my own house, partners, parties at houses, and more. Every dog I’ve met I’ve become friends with and we usually vibe together at every meeting. I love playing with dogs and getting their energy out, but I also love chilling with low energy dogs and having some quiet time. I truly am open to all kinds of dogs to watch and I’d love to be friends with your dog too! I’m currently working two part-time jobs and I am starting classes back up on August 18, but I am still available for over-night house sitting and potty breaks throughout the day. Weekends should allow me some more time to spend with the pet(s) as I won’t be as busy during the day. I make sure to always follow any rules set by the home owners, as I believe the place I’m staying should be respected and kept tidy. I make sure to cross off any lists I’ve made of supplies that will be needed during the time the home/pet owners are gone. I also love staying places because it feels like a mini vacation for myself. And, I get to do it with pets around?? Heck yeah!

Thanks so much to Amanda for taking such good care of my two little ones while I was away at MD Anderson this week. It meant a great deal to me to know they were in such caring and capable hands during a stressful time. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved when I got home. My family and I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the care she gave our sweeties.
