“Holly is the BEST. Tuesdays are now Poncho's (and my) favorite day of the week. He has the time of his life running around the yard and playing with other pups, and is exhausted by the time I pick him up- which every puppy owner knows is the BEST feeling ever. Holly is so communicative, sends the cutest pics, and I always know Poncho is safe and spoiled with her. You need to book with her!”

“Leslie did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. She was very trustworthy and I could tell my dog had a good time and was treated like family.”
About: As a devoted & experienced SAHM, I have proudly cared for a variety of animals for over 15 years. Dogs, cats, rabbits - you name it! Families entrust their furry companions to my care, often rebooking my services due to their satisfaction & peace of mind. From feeding and exercise to cozy snuggles and playtime, I will create a joyful, nurturing environment where your pets thrive & your family feels confident in my care. I am able to seamlessly incorporate pet care into my daily/weekly routines because my schedule is often flexible. I ensure all of your pets needs are met with consistency & love. I prioritize their well-being alongside my family responsibilities. In my home, I provide a warm and welcoming environment for pets to feel comfortable and cherished. I designate safe areas for play and relaxation, ensuring they have ample space to roam and explore. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or pet daycare, I tailor my services to suit the specific needs of each pet and client. For dog walking, I take pups on enjoyable strolls in the neighborhood or nearby parks, providing them with exercise and fresh air. If house sitting is required, I ensure the pets receive round-the-clock care, maintaining their routines, and offering companionship in the comfort of their own home. In the case of pet daycare, I create an engaging atmosphere filled with toys, interactive play, and socialization opportunities, allowing pets to have a fun-filled day while their owners are away. Regardless of the service provided, I prioritize safety, hygiene, and regular communication with pet owners, ensuring they are informed and at ease throughout the entire process.
About: I am a previous Veterinary Assistant of 5 years who is now a SAHM. I would love to provide your fur baby with a pleasant time while you are away. I have knowledge to give medications/insulin if needed and know that some pets have specific diets and certain accommodations. I personally have 2 dogs and 3 cats myself so I can guarantee that they would be treated just as if they were my own animals. I am currently a SAHM so if the pet is animal friendly with cats and dogs they can stay here with me while away. If they are not then I am more than happy to load up my kiddo and come to your house to take care of them. However I can not do an overnight stay with them as my child needs to return home for bedtime in his crib. I can do drop in visits only or the pet can stay here at our home. If pets are in my home they must be cat friendly and dog friendly as I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. They will be leash walked and fed separately just as I do for my dogs. If they are a cat they will get their own litter box and space until they can get accustomed to everyone. I am also perfectly fine with going to your home where they are comfortable. I am fine with leash walking, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, administering medications, or really any special accommodations you may have just ask!
“First time using Rover and Aeyla was great! Very friendly and my puppy Molly seemed to have so much fun playing with their pups as well. Will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I can remember I've had dogs, cats, brids, ferrets, rats, hamsters, fish, snakes, you name it! I love animals and love watching them thrive in healthy, happy habitats! I am a stay at home mom and spend a lot of my time at home taking care of my children, house, and mini farm. Your dog can follow me around (on or off leash) while I'm in and out of the house or I can put them on a leash, let them burn off engery in the backyard (fenced-in) as long as they are not a chicken killer.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and taking care of them. My family has a poodle, a great Pyrenees and 10 cats which we all rescued from the streets. I work everyday 6 am to 3/4 pm, but as soon as I get off work I can come and spend the rest of the day playing with your loved ones. I treat my pets like gold and like the princess and princes that they are and would love to give the same care to yours. I am clean and responsible so you can have peace of mind while away that your pets are in the best possible hands.
