Tank and Little Mama say thank you for watching over us and getting to know us. Candace was very friendly, polite and accommodating- as this was her 1st visit with us. Have scheduled future visits and hope they go even better 🙂

Amber has watched our 11 year old AussieDoodle several times, and we added a Cocker Spaniel puppy to the mix. We are always updated during the sit time with added photos, and we come back to happy pets. Definitely recommend her. She is Responsible. Responsive. Respectful. Reliable. Reputable.

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, i’m an animal lover as they say. We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have a dane of of my very own. I have excellent experience in animal care. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care in any way possible for their animals. I work from home and my job is INSANELY flexible. I come and go as i please for work; and make my own schedule/hours. So attending to your pet all day is no issue what so ever. I am a die hard animal lover, so I would care for your pet the way I care for mine. The only “downside” to my in house dog sitting, in your home; is that my pup would need to come with me. He is large but very gentle and gets along with anything you can think of. He is house trained, and EXTREMELY well mannered. He has been around dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, alpacas, llamas, and yes; a camel. He is my barn pup so he’s very easy going and a gentle giant. I have experience in giving oral meds by hand, and adding meds onto food etc. I have a picky eater, so if you have a picky eater and need someone who can manage, i am your girl! I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect. I have been in the customer service industry for a very very long time; and communication is key, ALWAYS. Now that i’ve written a novel, i am easy to get ahold of with any questions, comments, or concerns! I look forward to caring for your critters! I am a full time work from home employee. I have full access to a very large front yard outside of my apartment complex, as well as a dog park 2 minutes away. I am able to feed at the given time suggested by clients as well as tend to potty needs as well. My job is beyond flexible, so pet care is definitely no issue in my home. I am able to care for your pets by providing multiple updates throughout your pets stay, as well as plenty of pictures. I am able to follow specific guidelines given to me by clients to ensure their pet has a safe stay at my home

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since I was born! I have had many dogs over my 20 years of experience, ranging from new born puppies, to older dogs. I also have cats, turtles, and have had fish over the years, as well. I have even helped my five year old pup deliver her own puppies! I adore animals and would love to play and look after them, I get attached needless to say😄. I would communicate and deliver beyond your expectations- not only because that’s what you want, but rather what I would love to do. It would be the highlight of my day and make my dull day into a fulfilling day! I am very compassionate when it comes to animals, although the extra money would be a highlight, regardless, I love animals! I make sure they get lots of loving, play time, food, water, and of course let’s not forget treats! I inspire them to their very own play day!

About: I grew up with a couple dogs and many outdoor cats over the years, as well as some other indoor household pets. I especially love bigger dogs and even reptiles. I am currently in a job transition and looking to fill the time I have by playing with and caring for animals. My schedule is pretty open for now. For indoor pets I am happy to walk or exercise the pets as needed; for both indoor and outdoor pets I will make sure they get attention and socialization.

Gracie is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors, and made sure our dogs had a good time while we were away. She sent lots of pictures so we would know they were in good hands and we’ll definitely have her back again.

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.

Lani did an exceptional dog watching my two rambunctious labs for the weekend. She was easy to get in touch with and very professional. Lani sent photos and I was so certain that my dogs were in good hands. I think they had more fun with Lani than with me because she made sure to do all their favorite activities.
