About: I've been taking care of animals (both cats and dogs) since childhood! Family pets are near and dear to my heart. I can provide quality care for your furry friends and provide prompt updates and photos when you are away from them. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently working part-time before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dependable drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I offer reliable transportation to reach your home and can transport pets if needed. During drop-in visits, I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, playtime, and prompt updates with photos to keep you at ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority.
“Bailey was the best! I have 3 crazy dogs who are a handful and Bailey handles them like a champ. I always get worried when I have to leave my babies in somebody else’s hands, but now that I’ve found Bailey I know when I have to leave they are in the best of hands. The pups love her and so do I! Will be booking her for all future pupper needs!”
About: I believe our animals do more for us than we ever realize.❤️ And I love to help them feel special and loved in return. ✨ A few years ago, I unexpectedly become the happy human to a crazy Aussie, and while I’ve always been a cat person, I have thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the dog community! 🥰🐾 I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are my top priority while I am with them. I go out of my way to make sure they feel loved and well cared-for while you are away. 💛 I am available to care for your pets mid-mornings through early evenings. I can do multiple visits or walks a day, depending on your pet’s needs 🌼 When I arrive at your home, first is a greet and a cuddle if your pet is open to it. After that, it’s outside for some fresh air, walk and playtime with the dogs. 🐶 Or for kitties, washing and refilling water and food bowls, tidying litter box and settling in for some quality time. 🩷
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have dog-sat for many years. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m a college student with a set class schedule, but I’m available outside of those hours to help care for your pup. I’m reliable, communicative, and always do my best to respond quickly. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy.
