“Min is very professional and dependable. You can trust your four-legged companion with her. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a house full of pets—including a cat, parakeets, fish, and even a couple of snapping turtles—and have loved both cats and dogs throughout my life. As an adult, I was lucky enough to spend 11 years with our beloved German Shepherd mix, Evie. We completed obedience training together, and I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, routines, training reinforcement, playtime, and all the everyday care that comes with sharing your life with a dog. As Evie got older, I also gained experience caring for a senior dog through arthritis and, eventually, a period of significant illness. Her needs changed considerably during her final months, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications, keeping an eye on changes in appetite or behavior, adapting routines for an older or less-active dog, and understanding when something just doesn’t seem quite right. I’ve also cared for pets for neighbors and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. Since losing Evie in 2022, we haven’t been ready to bring another pet into our family, so I’d genuinely love the opportunity to spend some time caring for yours. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and—most importantly—I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m self-employed and set my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my day. I’m generally available for morning visits beginning around 8:30 AM, as well as midday and afternoon care. I can build walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention into each pet’s normal routine, and I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. I know consistency matters, especially when pets are away from their people, so I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. We are a family of four with two children, ages 10 and 7, and our home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. We don’t currently have any pets of our own, so visiting dogs won’t need to adjust to other resident animals. I know every pet has different routines, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I’m also happy to learn about your pet’s personality, triggers, quirks, and favorite things before their stay so we can make our home feel as comfortable and familiar as possible.

“I cannot say enough good things about Matthew! He was so attentive and sweet with Nattie which means the world to me! Every visit he sent several photos showing her walks, poo's, etc and the big smile on her face. He walked her around the pond which she absolutely loved. He made sure she had food, water and treats and kept us informed on her eating amounts. She is a rescue baby and can be very "scared" of people but he was very gentle with her to earn her trust and let Matthew walk her! I forever grateful for finding Matthew and he is my only go to from now on!”

About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. But i do work 3-11pm 4 days and Sunday i work 7am-3pm. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. I help out my friends and family with their pets when needed. I love playing and walking with pups. I can help with feeding and any special needs or quirks your animal may have. I work from home and love getting outside whenever I have the chance. I have a flexible work schedule and during the weekend I’m home playing with my dog! When going outside I would always make sure a leash is on if there isn’t a fence. Always be on lookout for glass or trash on the sidewalk.

“Ashley is great. She is always on time and very responsible. Our dog loves her and it’s always excited to see her. She has a very keen awareness of what he likes and doesn’t like, and what he needs. I would definitely recommend her.”

“We had Megan come in the morning for a walk and in the evening for a check-in. This is the fourth time we have used Megan. We have always been happy with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to have Megan watch Finley. This was the longest we spent time away from Finley Magee. It was hard for us to leave your 4-legged baby and I know it would be hard for our pup too. Megan put us at ease with her detailed progress reports during each visit. Megan’s knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and patience is incredible. By day 3, Finley was jumping around and excited to see Megan. We are very fortunate to have Megan help us with Finely Magee!”

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

“We love Wren! She’s so sweet and very dependable with our pup Nola. She’s also a great communicator. Would highly recommend!”

About: I love animals and love to share the love with yours. I have a pretty flexible schedule but check with me first so we are on the same page. I have experience dog walking, playing, boarding and general care. I work part time so I'm generally pretty flexible. I'm available for overnight stays and some boarding too. Just ask and I'll book some dates in advance for pet care. I have an open, safe home with a backyard fence. All your pets needs will be met and there is plenty of backyard space for play.

About: I've always been responsible for pets, both my own and other people's such as my grandma's Chihuahua and my friends Husky as well as my own. I'm currently a student full time but have free time to walk pets and take care of them while studying during the week and weekends I have a spacious backyard for dogs to play in and a very safe home for cats to roam inside. The neighborhood is good for walking.

About: I have been taking care of many different breeds of dogs since I can remember. I have walked many neighbors and family’s dogs in the past. I am currently at home for the summer so I am free any time of the day and am flexible with my schedule so feel free to reach out! I have a fenced yard and a labradoodle who will keep your dog entertained. She is very friendly and looking for some friends to play with!!

About: I am an absolute dog lover! I have grown up with dogs and love being around them. We go on walks often so we can get our daily dose of exercise. I will care for your dog as my own. No pups on the furniture but I have two plush dog beds for them to rest their furry heads. I look forward to spending lots of time with your pup and overdosing them with belly rubs. I love capturing moments, so expect to get lots of pictures from me. I’m currently back at work and my hours are usually 9-5. A few days a week I am able to work part time so I’ll be home more. I have a fenced yard so they can spend time outside. We split custody for our very friendly lab so occasionally your pup will have a friend to play with.

About: Paw-parent to the sweetest 4 year old Frenchton. As a former corporate employee in an office, I know the struggles of finding time to give dogs the attention and stimulation they deserve. I’m here to make your life a little easier and provide great care for your best friend. I’ve taken care of family pets since high school but became a first time paw-parent in 2020. My partner Johnny also helps me and he is home during the day since he works from home. I currently have lots of free time and can look over your pets almost any day of the week. Spring break is around the corner and my calendar is filling up fast. Please book soon for March dates. Furry friends will be taken out 4-5 times a day. Can accommodate to more times if needed. Pets will be kept inside the home for boarding at all times. (Potty breaks are done outside in the backyard which is fenced.) If walks are required they will only be done if the weather is safe for pets and me. My current pet Peppers will be at my home if you are boarding but in a completely different part of my home.
