“Jacqui did great with our cat, Flower. We were gone for a week and Flower seemed very at ease when we came home. Jacqui went above & beyond making sure our porch light was on/off when necessary & bringing in our mail. She was on time for every visit & sent photos/updates through out the week. She also responded to texts very fast which was relieving because our service was choppy. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”

About: I love taking care of furry friends! Family and friends have relied of me to pop in and take their fur babies on walks, get them all clean, and make sure they get their tummies full. Not only do I take care of pets but also people! I am a registered nurse with a passion for helping others! Have a last minute trip you need to go on don’t worry I offer same day services.

About: I grew up with all different species of pets and am comfortable and more than happy to care for any pet you have! I have loved animals my entire life! I have experience with companion animals, pocket pets, and reptiles/exotics. I worked at a doggy daycare center for two years and have professional veterinary clinical experience for three years total, so I am most knowledgeable about animal behavior, health, and wellness. Bonus: I graduated from Purdue University and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science! I have always had a huge passion for animals of all breeds and sizes! I have dog sat for friends and family, and would absolutely love to have furry friends over to give them lots of love while you’re gone! I am currently not employed, which is subject to change. I have open availability M-F as well as weekends for all of your pet needs! My biggest concern is to give your pets a safe, stress-free, and fun atmosphere.

About: Most familiar with cat care all the way from little kittens to senior cats. I do dog walks and dropin visits on the Wag app and have a perfect 5 star rating for every job I have done and am looking to expand my clientele here. I absolutely love being able to care for pets and see how happy they are when we go for walks or play fetch. I also dogsit my family's golden doodle who is learning tricks and has anxiety around people. I have a part time job and do contract work on my own schedule so I can fit pet care around my current schedule easily. I intend your home space to be the same as you left it when you return from your trip with a happy pet waiting for you.

“Kylie was wonderful with our dogs! They loved her and are happy to see her! I was nervous about leaving them for a week, especially with my older dog being on a demanding medicine, but as soon as I met her I was instantly reassured and far more comfortable! I cannot recommend her enough! We get pictures and updates as we ask for them and as an emotionally attached Fur Mom, that’s exactly what I need when I’m away from my babies. THANK YOU, KYLIE! ♥️”

I have a cat and dog at home so unfortunately I cannot watch dogs or cats here. The chihuahua has bad anxiety and I am just now making progress with him so I want to ease into that when the time comes. I take good care of my cat and dog by making sure they are flea free, both fixed, well fed, potty trained, etc.
