About: Graduated with a degree in Veterinary Technology in 2016, worked in clinic for 5 years until I became a stay at home mom. I am trained to administer medications of any kind for cats and dogs if needed as well as standard pet care. Additionally, I have been trained fear-free techniques to make any experience with your pets as nurturing and comfortable as possible while you're away. At this time, my schedule is open and flexible, and I have all the time needed to help care for your furry loved ones while you’re away 😊 While caring for your pets, I am happy to walk or monitor outside playtime, if yard is securely fenced. Feeding and watering, with ability to adapt to any special needs your pets may have. I can provide medications as needed. I will, of course, clean up any potential messes made, to the best of my ability, while you're away including scooping litterboxes and disposing of feces.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, I also have experience as a kennel tech for over a year of helping with surgeries, recover, medication, anything under the sun I am comfortable doing it for your kiddo. I am comfortable with any dog or cat you throw at me, and of course make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home as a content creator or my whole day is pet care. The second I wake up I take my German shepherd for a walk before I even have my coffee in the morning, I include basic training alongside the walk as well. I get back from the walk and of course make sure my 3 cats are fed with all different dietary needs as my male cat has feline herpes so needs special treatment. I get ready for work but before I do I’ll take my dog out again, work, and basically is repeated from the morning. My main phrase I say is either what’s in your mouth or where’s your ball, even during work I will be throwing the ball for my dog, doing training on stream, or even telling my stream to pause as my dog needs attention. I devote every waking moment to my kids. Of course before I accept any job I would come and meet and your kids beforehand to make sure it is something I can handle and to get an idea how eat pet behaves.

Cailee H.
“If you’re looking for someone amazing with animals, look no further than Caliee. I can’t say enough great things about her—she’s just phenomenal. From the moment she started helping care for my dog and cats, I saw how naturally she connects with animals. She’s caring, intuitive, and genuinely kind, with a heart of gold. What sets her apart is how animals respond to her—it’s like they just get her. She guides and coaches them with ease, never harsh, but always in control. Honestly, I think my dog and cats might love her even more than they love me (and that’s saying something!). As someone who’s very protective of who spends time with my pets, I can say without hesitation: any animal in Caliee’s care is in the best hands possible. - Kari R.”
Kamren M.
“Kamren is a wonderful animal lover! She adores her 4 cats and has lovingly cared for mine when we were on vacation. She loved my Guinea pig and trimmed her nails for me. I know she has also taken care of dogs for other people. She is very responsible and trustworthy. She would be a valuable addition to your company!! I highly recommend her! It’s the perfect job for her.”
Cielo C.
“Cielo C. is a truly kind and compassionate person who absolutely loves animals. We were roommates for a year, and during that time, I got to see just how naturally caring and responsible she is—especially with pets. One of our other roommates got a puppy at the start of college, and from day one, Cielo stepped in like a second pet parent. She took care of that little dog as if it were her own—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure it felt safe and loved. I always admired how patient and gentle she was. Any pet would be lucky to have Cielo looking after them, and I know she’d treat them like family. She’s reliable, loving, and someone you can truly trust with your furry best friend.”
