About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My approach is calm, patient, and safety‑focused, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and understood while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart • Experienced with all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication reminders, and a slower pace. • Strong communication — I keep owners updated with detailed messages, photos, and honest observations so you always know how your pet is doing. • Behavior‑aware care — I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, and routines to help pets feel secure and supported. • Clean, organized, and respectful — I treat your home and your pets with the same care I’d want for my own. Special Skills • Puppy routines (crate training basics, potty schedules, positive reinforcement) • Senior dog support (mobility assistance, patience with slower movement, comfort‑focused care) • Administering oral medications • Experience with shy, anxious, reactive, or rescue dogs who need extra reassurance • Maintaining feeding, walking, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed During the school year, I work full‑time at a school from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, which means I’m fully available for pet care after 3:45 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m also completely free all summer long, giving me plenty of time for daytime visits, longer stays, and more flexible scheduling. Weekday Routine (During the School Year) • Early evening drop‑ins or walks after 3:45 PM • Dinner‑time visits, playtime, and routine check‑ins • Evening house sitting or overnight stays • Consistent communication throughout the evening with updates and photos Weekend Routine • Fully open availability for:• Morning, afternoon, and evening visits • Longer stays or house sitting • Extended walks, enrichment, or extra playtime Summer Schedule • Wide‑open daytime availability for all services • Perfect for pets who need midday walks, regular check‑ins, or full‑day companionship • Flexible scheduling for multi‑day house sitting or vacation coverage When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. What I Do in Your Home • Stick to your pet’s routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime are followed exactly as instructed. • Provide calm, attentive companionship — whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I match their energy and needs. • Keep your home tidy and respected — I clean up after pets, maintain litter boxes or outdoor potty areas, and leave your home just as I found it. • Monitor behavior and well‑being — I pay close attention to body language, appetite, energy levels, and any changes that might need your attention. • Send consistent updates — you’ll receive clear communication, photos, and honest notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Additional Care You Can Expect • Administering oral medications if needed • Supporting shy, anxious, or rescue pets with patience and gentle handling • Maintaining multi‑pet household dynamics safely • Extra enrichment like play sessions, brushing, or outdoor time (as allowed)

“Did a great job with my timid dog during a drop-in visit. Patient, gentle, and respectful of her space— she warmed up quickly. Would highly recommend!”

About: Expert in aquarium animals and cats because of my axolotls, cat and senior cat. I’ve taken a liking to dog care since I was 12 years old. I work Monday-thursday from 6-10, so my availability lies before 5:30 on those days with a little more flexibility on nights and weekends. For those that need help those specific times. I have basic knowledge about dogs: food, house, walks, and handling. Though I’ve never owned a dog you may want to communicate any special instructions to me beforehand.

“Rish is nothing but amazing. I was nervous because of my difficult dog. She took pictures and you could see the joy in their faces. Will rebook in the future!”

“Ashley did a great job of taking care of our cats, one of whom is an active young cat who needs playtime! We appreciated the daily reports and photos, and could tell that Ashley was giving them the attention and affection they needed.”

About: I have experience caring for neighbors dogs and love to be around them. I take pride in always being willing to expand my knowledge about breeds, different care methods, and always improving. I’m currently working part time as well as attending college so my schedule can be a little hectic, however I pride myself on managing my time effectively. I prefer as many care details as you’re willing to give, and I will probably take notes as well. I like to take walks to stay healthy so your pet will have plenty of time outside. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality and quirks is half the fun for me!

“Nicholas and Caitlin were so great! They communicated well and sent pictures, showed up promptly for the check ins and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our boys most importantly you could tell the dogs really loved them. We have big boisterous dogs and they are not for the faint of heart-Caitlin and Nicholas didn’t bat an eye and even won over our shy guy. We will absolutely be booking again in the future.”

“Holy Cow Maggie was the best with our cat and dog. She was friendly, on time for her visits, sent daily updates, followed directions and I had nothing to worry about. If she’s available, book her!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and animals my whole life. Growing up I always have had animals in my house. I love them and care for any animals deeply. I have cared for puppies, older dogs, etc. You name it! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life and give you an extra hand. Pet care is part of my weekly routine through feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets while owners are away. I balance responsibilities by staying organized, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and fun environment by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I have a large yard, kennels if needed, and lots of toys to keep pets active and happy while following each owner’s care instructions.

“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”

About: I have been around cats, dogs and farm animals my entire life. I have had multiple cats and dogs at all times and of all sizes. I am very hard working, communicative, dependable and very flexible!

About: I have lived with many different dogs over the years and like being around them. I currently don't own a dog because I live in an apartment and want to have a yard if I plan on owning one. So walking and caring for them gives me the experience I need for my own someday. Right now it's just part time but by summer I am hoping for full-time. I can take Dogs for walks or spend time playing with them. I am also more than willing to pet sit if needed. I also enjoy just chilling with cats. I currently do not own any pets although I have owned cats and horses in the past. I am currently just enjoying taking care of others peoples pets as that fits my lifestyle best at the moment. I am more than willing to give meds if needed and if I am sitting with take time to walk dogs or cats if they need it. I also don't mind grooming daily if needed as well.
