“Nathaniel has been amazing with our new pup! He’s reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about providing great care. Since we recently got our puppy, it’s been such a relief knowing someone trustworthy is coming by to take our dog out while we’re at work. He’s always accommodating, communicative, and great with our pup. We’re very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable pet care!”


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: 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.
“Lindsey was great with my pup. She was communicative and responsive when scheduling the meet and greet. She also did a great job on the service day as well. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Lindsey!”


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’ve been a dog owner and lover since I was a child, have had my own dog for 10 years now. I’ve been caring for others dogs since I was 10 for neighbors and friends. I love all breeds of dogs and would love to help love and care for yours! I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a lot of free time to give for caring for your pets! My day to day schedule is open to be able to care for all you and your pets needs. When caring for your pet, I would use the utmost responsibility in treating your home with respect and care. I would make sure that all was taken care of and your dog was in the best hands.
“Morgan was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and provided great updates while we were gone. Even our neighbor commented on how friendly she was. It’s so nice to know your pets are cared for by great people when you have to leave them.”

“Lilli was excellent! She came on time when she said she would, the communication was fantastic, she built a great rapport with our dog and sent us pictures everyday while we were away. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more! Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“She is amazing with my dog! She went above and beyond and took such great care of my old man! I came home from my trip early and he didn't want her to leave. He wanted to go with her! I received tons of pictures and let me know how he was doing and made me feel so much better about him being at home while I was away. She will definitely be watching him every time I'm out of town”

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!

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.
“Rachael is always fabulous! Very communicative and great with my older dogs that have special needs. I greatly appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting.”

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.

Nicole was AMAZING! From start to finish, she was so communicative, kind, and flexible, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The updates and photos were wonderful, and it was so clear how much care and attention she gave our girls. It meant so much to us knowing her daughter also spent time loving on them — especially since our own daughter/niece was gone and is usually the one giving them extra snuggles. When we got home, we could immediately tell our girls were happy, relaxed, and truly loved on. We are beyond grateful for Nicole and would 100% book with her again. Highly, highly recommend!

Michaela was amazing! She took this booking very last minute when we were in need and she was nothing short of perfect! She had open communication, sent photos, and provided updates on our two fur babies. When traveling, it can be stressful to leave your pets but she took all of that away by providing great care.

Elizabeth took great care of our Penny while we were away for the weekend. She was fantastic at using the app to send pics and provide details of what all Penny did at each drop in visit. She was on time for each drop in and loved on our sweet pup. Elizabeth really was helpful, patient, and kind. I’m grateful she was available on short notice, and I will use her again!! Highly recommend!

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.
