About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I have been actively involved in the rescue community for over 10 years and have extensive experience working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. I hold a degree in Animal Science and have gained hands-on experience working at a local animal shelter as well as as a pet care technician in a pet store. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and proper care. I am able to care for cats and am very knowledgeable about their unique needs and personalities. I am also able to board dogs, provided they are friendly with cats and children. Since I work from home full-time, your pets will receive plenty of supervision, attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a calm and loving environment, I am committed to providing the same level of care and compassion that I would give my own animals. My goal is to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and at ease while you’re apart. I work from home full time so I will be on YOUR pets schedule. I do have small children but they have been taught how to be around animals appropriately. They love to play with the animals but will never be unattended with them. I will provide whatever needs YOUR pet needs. They are all different and have different needs and schedules. I allow free roaming. Pets on furniture. Pets sleeping in the bed. Whatever your baby is most comfortable with is what they will get here.
About: I have spent my entire life with animals as part of my family! My experience includes dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from the most relaxed lab to the highest energy pair of cattle dogs. I’ve now also experienced the joys of cats, with my own little kitten! I am ready to be as active or relaxed with your pet as you need. I work part time and have my 3-year-old daughter with me after school hours. I am available for drop ins regularly, and house-sitting/boarding during periods with more availability. In a client’s home, I respect the limits of where you choose to allow your pet and am happy to take dogs on walks or facilitate outdoor time as needed. I have a fenced yard in my home and keep doors to most rooms closed. My home is toddler-proof, so also largely pet proof!
About: I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, including puppies and seniors, ensuring comfort, safety, and lots of love, patience and reliability every time.

About: I have cared for different breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, grooming, and administering medication when needed. Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. Each morning starts with feeding my pets, followed by their daily walk or playtime. This helps them get the exercise they need and gives me a chance to enjoy some bonding time. Throughout the week, I make it a point to spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing, training, or just cuddling on the couch. Grooming is another key aspect; I set aside time each week to brush them and check for any signs of health issues. Caring for pets at home and for clients involves a mix of attention and routine. In my home, I maintain a structured schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime while keeping their living space clean and safe. Regular grooming and vet check-ups are important too. For clients’ pets, I follow their specific instructions, ensuring I meet each pet’s needs through proper feeding, exercise, and play. I also monitor their behavior and health, reporting any concerns. Overall, I focus on creating a loving and safe environment for both my pets and my clients' pets.

I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and loving looking after your pets. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and pet sitting. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while giving you peace of mind. 🐶❤️ I’m currently going back to school online to earn my counseling degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekend . My online classes allow me to work pet care around my school schedule and give your pets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of your home or within my home and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of cats all my life and for the past ten years I've been taking care of dogs as well. I have experience working with animals that aren't my own as well as overnight stays. I am currently not in work, but I typically wake up around 7 am and start my day by feeding my animals and taking my dog for a walk. Then throughout the day I like to spend time with my animals and ensure they get plenty of attention. I have a fenced yard and a super sweet golden retriever who loves to play with all sized animals. He's very gentle and playful and gets along great with other animals. I have a pool in my backyard as well so if your dogs love to swim I can gladly accommodate that.
