About: With 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I have a deep understanding of animal care, from cats and dogs to exotic species. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments—whether they’re energetic and playful or more reserved—and I’m comfortable providing care for animals with special needs or medical conditions. In addition to my veterinary experience, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for clients who visit our veterinary hospital, which has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of fur babies in their own homes. I also have experience with exotic animals, having worked at a botanical garden where I cared for a wide range of species. From reptiles to birds and small mammals, I’m familiar with the unique needs and care requirements of different types of animals. Whether you have a cat, dog, or exotic pet, I am fully prepared to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I have my own fur babies, so I truly understand the trust and love that goes into finding someone to care for your pets. Whether your pets need medications, extra attention, or just a familiar face to keep them company, I’m here to ensure they’re in the best hands possible. I offer flexible and open availability for all your pet sitting needs! Whether you need someone for a few hours, overnight stays, or extended care, I am happy to accommodate. As a pet lover with a background in veterinary medicine, I prioritize the well-being of your pets and can be available on short notice. My schedule is open to fit your needs, so feel free to reach out for any day or time that works best for you and your fur babies! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, which is why I strive to create a calm and familiar environment for them. With my experience as a veterinary technician, I am equipped to handle all aspects of pet care, from following specific routines to administering medications if needed. I believe that safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. I’ll make sure your pet is always secure in their surroundings, keeping doors and gates closed, providing supervision during outdoor time, and ensuring they are never left alone in unsafe situations. I also make sure to follow any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away, from feeding times to favorite toys or special cuddles. I treat your home as I would my own, respecting your space and keeping everything neat and tidy. I also offer updates and check-ins to keep you informed and help ease your mind while you’re away. With my experience and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in the best hands, enjoying their time at home while you’re gone.

“Josh just started walking my 9 year old pup. He took the time to do a meet and greet and get my old gal use to him. She was already so excited to see him today when for her first walk with him. He takes lots of pics and provides great information. He kind and gentle with animals and is so sweet! Thank you Josh!”

About: I know that pets can become confused and upset while you are away. I will make sure their needs are met with compassion and love. I will spend whatever amount of time needed with them to assure they are happy and comfortable. I take care of my husband who is a disabled veteran and have free time to meet your pets needs, treating them as if they were my own We have two dogs and three mischievous cats. I'm available to take as much time as needed during visits to ensure all of their needs are met and they are comfortable and loved

“We will definitely be a repeat client! Our girl was so happy to get her visits during the day and she was in constant communication with us! Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”

About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my entire life. I have taken care of dogs for a while as well. I am very reliable and love to see animals happy, so I try to give them the best experience possible. I currently work part time at a doggy daycare, I am available for drop in’s in the morning and afternoon. Otherwise I’m fully available in the afternoons. I have plenty of time on my hands to make sure your pet has a great time! I have a spacious house with a big backyard for your pup to run and play. I have a 4 year old pitbull who loves meeting new friends and zooming around!

About: I am a vet tech with 5 years of experience. Your pet will be very well cared for and loved when they are with me. I am currently a stay-at-home-mom so I am available throughout the week and weekends. We are home often so your pets will get plenty of attention and potty brakes. I have a fenced in yard so they are able to run and the exercise they need. I am available throughout the week and weekends. I usually run errands throughout the day but usually not more than a few hours so your pets won’t be left alone for long. Your pet will always be on a leash when I am watching them to avoid unwanted encounters outside with other dogs, animals or people. I am very comfortable advocating for your pet to ensure their safety. I also have a fenced yard so unless walks are requested than we will spend majority of our outdoor time there.

“Crystabella was great! She communicated well and gave our dog a great walk when we couldn’t be home until later in the night. Would use her again!”

I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well.

You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe.

“Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I've had pets for about 7 years - raised two Huskies from puppies, and after moving out on my own I started taking care of cats. I currently have three cats at home. Friends and family have counted on me to feed, walk, and look after their pets when they're away. I'm comfortable handling both small and large dogs, and I know bigger breeds like Huskies need a lot more exercise and stimulation than most. With cats, I deal with them every single day, so I know when they're just being moody and when something's actually wrong. My schedule is very flexible - I'm taking online classes this summer, but they're all self-paced with no set class times, so I can work around any pet care needs throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust to fit your pet's routine! For drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and keep the pet's normal routine as close as possible. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes before anything else - especially with bigger dogs. I grew up with two Huskies, so I know how important it is to keep large, energetic dogs secure and properly managed. I'll send updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and currently care for three of my own. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I understand the unique needs of each dog. I offer lots of love, patience, and consistency. I’ve helped with basic training, medication routines, crate training, and leash manners. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets my full attention. Whether it’s a weekday walk or weekend overnight, I’m available to provide consistent, loving care. Since I already care for my own dogs, pet care naturally fits into my everyday life. I keep a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with secure spaces and lots of love. In your home, I follow all your instructions closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and anything else your pet needs. I believe in building trust with pets through positive reinforcement and calm energy. Your furry family member will always be treated with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Chelsey was so great with my fearful puppy, we are working on his people skills, and she was a great match! My dog ended up getting used to her and really enjoyed his walks.”

I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.
