About: I've been around pets all my life, and have watched my parents puppy on multiple occasions. I treat all pets as my own, with love! I work from home Monday through Friday so my schedule is very open. I'm only away in the evenings for a couple of hours for my sons muay thai practice. I have a home with a big fenced backyard for your pups to run around and enjoy. I only have 1 senior cat that keeps to himself.

“Ra-chel was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, punctual, and followed all of the instructions I gave her. I have a puppy and a 3-year-old dog with anxiety, and she took the time to make sure both of them were comfortable and cared for. She sent plenty of updates and photos—and from the looks of it, they were both very happy! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets and pet sat since I was 9! I’ve had my own cats and cat sat! I had a giant mastiff and owned a show bunny through high school! I I’m going to school for Animal Science and Veterinary Sciences so I’m trying to get as much experience around more critters. I’ve had a cat who had multiple surgeries so I’ve had to administer medications and help soothe anxious animals. I work at a hospital Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. So the rest of the week I am able to have a lot of outdoor time with pets. My patio is completely closed off and I have a grass patch and flower bed. All the plants I have are 100% dog and cat safe!

“Natalia was amazing with our dog, spent good time with him and made sure he felt loved and cared for while we were away. She took lots of pictures of them having fun and playing and went out of her way to keep us informed of how he was doing. She’s great! Would highly recommend her for drop in services.”

“I cannot rave enough about Alex, on EXTREMELY short notice she was able to help me out in a bind. My fur daughters were in desperate need of a bathroom break. Alex showed up and provided care when I wasn’t able to.”

“It’s always bitter sweet to leave Dee reviews—she’s an AMAZING sitter, but I don’t want anyone else to book her because my cat and I cherish her. She’s reliable, caring, and once again, went above and beyond to make sure my cat was given the best of care! Thank you for all you do, Dee!❤️”

I have a full time job Monday - Friday and am a part time student . My homework load is pretty light so I usually have weekends available and my dog likes to go with me places so if the client is comfortable with her around I’d love to bring her to work with me! I live in an apartment so hosting all types of dogs would be difficult. if I am at a clients home I will treat as if it my own by mankind sure the dog is comfortable, had water , fed at his/ hers regular time, play with them and make sure I’m making the most of our time together to bond so both the client and dog I can build that trust over time.

About: With two years of experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of dogs at every stage of life. I’ve regularly cared for litters of puppies, ensuring they are happy, safe, and well looked after. I’m attentive to dogs who prefer their own space, respecting their boundaries while providing the care they need. Having a senior dog of my own has deepened my understanding of patience and specialized care. I also regularly walk my own dog, who has gone through many different stages—from tugging and reactivity to calm, controlled walks. Because of this, I’ve learned to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs, handling different behaviors with patience and confidence. Additionally, I have experience caring for cats and understand their unique behaviors and body language. I’m familiar with signs of discomfort and know how to create a calm, respectful environment for them. Having watched and cared for multiple cats, I ensure they feel safe and cared for, whether they’re social or prefer their space. As current full-time student in college, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while providing attentive care to pets. During the school year, I’ve learned to manage my time efficiently, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Now that it’s summer break, I have even more time to dedicate to caring for and playing with pets. Whether it’s engaging walks, interactive play sessions, or simply providing companionship, I’m available to meet their needs with patience and consistency. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their home environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care requirements. I engage pets in play, offer companionship, and ensure they receive plenty of attention. For pets that prefer their space, I respect their boundaries while monitoring their well-being. If any concerns arise, such as changes in behavior or health, I will communicate with the owner to ensure the best care for their pet.

“Nannette is incredible! She came last minute and really saved the day. My pup adores her.”
