About: i! I'm Harleigh – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's part of who I am. I’m currently raising my energetic puppy and my sweet, independent 2-year-old cat, and every day with them reminds me how much joy, patience, and love animals bring into our lives. With a young pup, I’ve learned all about the importance of routine, playtime, and positive reinforcement. And thanks to my cat, I understand the beauty of quiet companionship, respecting space, and the occasional 3 a.m. zoomies! 😅 Whether your pet is a high-energy cuddle bug, a curious explorer, or a shy soul who needs gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of belly rubs (if they’re into that!). Let’s give your pet a new friend they’ll wag or purr about! 💛 I’m currently working part time, so I have extra free time right now until school starts up! I’m fairly open and am willing to work around your schedule☺️ I can’t wait to meet your wonderful babies! I understand just how much your furry friends mean to you. Whether you're away for a weekend or just need a helping hand during a busy day, I’m here to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they get from you. From playful pups to cuddly cats—and everything in between—I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience tailored to each pet's personality and routine. I believe in gentle care, regular updates for peace of mind, and lots of belly rubs and tail wags! Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. And when they’re with me, they’re part of mine too. 🐾💛

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 3 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 1 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together. I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

About: I have taken care of animals for about 7 years, mainly cats and dogs with some snakes as well. I currently own 4 cats and a dog of my own so my house is always busy! My dream is to open my own rescue. I do have experience as a veterinary technician, handling animals and giving medications. I promise to love your animals as if they were family! I am currently working part time however I only have one client so I am still availiable most of the time. I am availiable for services monday-friday 8am-330p and 8p-overnight(leave by 5a), as well as weekends 24/7. I am big on spending time with the animals to make sure they get enough human interaction so I usually stay for 1hr per visit. They need lots of love while they're family is away! I am versed in giving medication and am availiable to take your pets anywhere they need to go while I am with them. I'm unable to board animals in my home as not all of my animals enjoy others however I absolutely can spend most of my day and nights with the pets if they need more constant care!
