About: I will lovingly care for your pets like they are my own. I have experience with special needs pets, elderly, puppies, and everything in between. I work from home part time, so I have plenty of availability throughout the day and in the evening to care for your fur babies. I can take your pets on walks, play with them, and provide them with exercise in your yard. I will also feed and clean up after them. In addition, I can provide any needed medication. One of my dogs has epilepsy, so I am very familiar with special needs animals.

“Kassadi was awesome! We enjoyed seeing the pictures of our pets and the house was clean when we back. Our cats are anxious and skittish and they were calm, clean, and fed when we returned.”
About: I have a deep passion for animals combined with hands-on experience in caring for pets at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to beloved senior companions. I don’t just “watch” pets; I engage with them, keep them active, and provide the structure and affection they need to feel safe and happy while you’re away. I have grown up living with many cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have my own 3 dogs and 4 cats. My love for animals doesn’t go unnoticed by my peers and friends. I am happy to provide the best pet care for your furry friends whenever you need! I currently have my summer off and will return to college in the late fall for my nursing degree. This summer I’m available all weekends and weekdays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and give plenty of playtime and affection. For dogs, that includes daily walks and exercise suited to their energy level; for cats and other pets, I spend quality time engaging with them based on their personality. I also keep the home tidy, give updates with photos, and follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: Thirteen years ago I rescued a puppy from a shelter and bought a positive dog training book. Training my dog was fun, and I realized I was good at it. Since then I've been helping friends and family with their dog problems. I'll be happy to watch your animals. I am currently working part-time in the afternoon until evening, usually 2-8. I'm available in the morning, lunch and after 8 or 9pm. The days aren't consistent. I'm off 2 days anytime during the week. I have a large backyard which is fully fenced. The front yard is very large, but no fence. The only animals currently at my house are fish.
“D‘Ashia took very good care of my two kitties and made sure she always communicated with me. I received the drop in notifications with nice pictures and important updates. Overall a great experience.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets all my life and started taking care of the family pets on my own ever since I was old enough to. I love animals and think they are all deserving of love and care. I underwent service dog training with my youngest puppy, so I know a little more than your average person about pet body language and how to handle reactive behaviors. I’ll take care of any pet, no matter the size, breed, or personality! I have plenty of time to care for some little buddies! I’m available for all day service, single-time service, and more! Feel free to message me for more details if you need! I live in a fenced in 3 acre plot of land. All of my animals are friendly, but if there are any problems we have two crates available, as well as free rooms that I can hang out with your pet in. In other people’s home, I only touch what I am allowed to and will focus 100% of my attention on the pet. I make sure to have them within my eyesight at all times, and will bring my own cleaning supplies and materials (unless instructed otherwise).
