“Patty took such great care of our Max. I think she spoiled him as much or more than we do! He always looked happy in her daily updates. We loved getting our “Max Report” in the mornings, afternoon and evenings. I knew I could enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good, loving hands.”

About: I've taken care of dogs , cats for both my own pets, my friends , and pet sitting jobs. Looking forward to being able to spoil more dogs and cats! I'm currently unemployed and aside from possibly interning at a animal shelter I'm relatively always available unless I have a plan set up in advance A house with a yard that is not fenced in . 2 cats already living there. Have responded pretty well to dogs and other cats

“Brittany was wonderful! She kept me informed daily, took pictures of the puppy Buddy. He always looked happy. And we did a meet and greet and she was great. When we picked Buddy up everything went great. We will definitely be back and refer her to everyone!Exceptional service and kindness.”

About: Dogs have been a significant part of my life, holding a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother was involved in rescuing dogs, and we even took part in fostering. This experience exposed me to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I've undergone basic dog training and share my life with a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Millie. Prior to Millie, we had a beloved hound dog named Evie, who was a cherished companion for 15 years. My love for dogs spans every age, and I appreciate the unique needs and characteristics that come with each stage of their lives. I currently work from home full-time however, my schedule allows for flexibility through the week day where I can be available for walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. I would be happy to come get your pup out for a long walk before you return home. I would be happy to take your pup to a park to walk or around your neighborhood. I have a dog harness for safe traveling. I could also bring your pet to my home to play with my dog for a playdate. We have a nice fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run. Our dog is wonderful with other dogs as well- big and small.

“an absolute lifesaver! They were available last minute, communicated far above expectations, and shared photos that gave me total peace of mind. They were wonderful to meet and clearly cares deeply about the dogs theywatches. I would absolutely recommend this family and will be booking again.”

Laura H.

“Our dog was well cared for and loved. Megan even attempted to get the mats behind his ears brushed out! We will be using Megan again for watch him.”

Leslie B.

“Kalon did such a wonderful job!! Great communication, pictures, and care for my dog Frank. I will definitely be using her for future dog care needs!!!”

Marina B.

“A really fantastic dog sitter. So flexible and accommodating. She gave some great updates of our pup and took some of the best pictures of him. We could tell he had a really good time as he slept the whole ride home. This is our second time utilizing Nikki and we are very happy we did.”

I have a highly flexible schedule and can accommodate last-minute changes as needed. Since my college coursework is asynchronous, I can adapt my work to fit around your schedule seamlessly. As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.

About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I've had lots experience with potty training dogs. Many friends and family have trusted me with their pets (dogs, cats, lizards) while they were on vacation all in their own home. I currently have a large fenced in yard that my sheepadoodle loves to run around in and play fetch. All pets will be kept separate from each other during their stay. They will be cuddled and loved as our own! I work part time 2 minutes away from my home and come home around lunch time to let my dog out so I could very well let yours out as well. I have a large fenced in yard, I also have two large crates in our house and a larger cage in our garage to use if needed. Your pet would be kept inside our home and treated as our own.

“Kendra was a great sitter for my rambunctious coonhound! She came home happy and tired from playing. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various ages and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 3 year old and an 8 year old, both of whom I’ve raised from a young age. One of my dogs is an indoor companion, while the other is a well-trained outdoor dog. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have shown dogs of various breeds and have collaborated with breeders, which has provided me with valuable insight into different training techniques and dog behaviors. I’m passionate about spending quality time with dogs, whether it’s through daily walks, adventures on rail trails, or simply enjoying their company. I believe that understanding and adapting to each dog’s unique personality is key to providing exceptional care and building a strong bond. My approach focuses on trust, consistency, and creating a positive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Even though I work full-time as a CNA, I make sure to dedicate time each day to caring for animals, since I have two of my own at home. I’m already used to balancing a busy schedule while still giving pets the attention, structure, and affection they need. From feeding, walks, and playtime to maintaining a clean and safe environment, I treat pet care as a priority. My background in healthcare has also helped me build strong time management, reliability, and caregiving skills, which carry over into providing dependable and loving care for fur babies. I provide exceptional care for animals in a comfortable, home like environment. In my home, I ensure that all their needs are met, including medication administration, playtime, and baths upon request. I offer a variety of toys and treats to keep them engaged and happy. Additionally, I have a dedicated, remodeled dog room equipped with everything a dog could need for a safe and enjoyable stay.
