About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have 3 years of experience helping care for pets for family and friends. I have a very spoiled dog myself, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention. Weekday mornings fit best with my schedule with also managing another part-time job, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company I’ve always been really attached to animals, especially because my own dog is basically treated like a baby at home. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I have years of pet care experience! I have spent my life wanting to make dog parents' lives easier. Not only have I had animals all my life, I have 5 years' experience at dog boarding facilities that also include daycare and grooming. I love all dogs, big or small. I also have experience in puppies, older gems and those who may be considered "difficult". I am here to make your life easier when you have to leave your pet. We all know it isn't fun to leave them, but I am here to ease your mind! I will make sure your pet is at ease while their human is gone! I can't replace you, but I will make it more bearable! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet! I can make time for morning, midday (depending on location) and evening potty breaks! I will come to your house so that your pet feels secure and comfortable in their own home. Unless you request that I bring them into my house, I usually like to keep them in their normal routine and place!

Amber really loves my baby!! She also reinforces the commands and reprimands that I do so I’m not starting all over every day with my puppy. She takes time to update me and makes sure she has a good time even if it’s for just 30 minutes. So grateful for her!

About: I have years of hands-on caregiving experience through both personal and professional environments. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and small furry friends. Include owning a dog, cat and few snakes personally, operating a dog grooming business. I am especially passionate about snakes and reptile education. I understand the patience, attentiveness and calm energy animals need to feel safe and cared for. As I build my animal care business, pet care is becoming part of my daily routine, allowing me full availability to provide dependable, attentive, compassionate care. For drop -in visits, I provide dependable and attentive care by feeding pets, refreshing water, taking dogs out for walks and potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, caring for reptiles, bringing in newspaper, mail, or packages. Watering plants, and giving pets companionship and comfort while their owners are away.

About: With 7 years of experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, I understand their unique needs and provide loving, attentive care. From frequent potty breaks to scheduled medication and everything else in between, I’m here to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I did discover that I have an allergy towards dogs that shed heavily, so boarding is limited to low- & non-shedding dogs. I work full-time but I make sure to come home every day around lunchtime for midday feeding and potty breaks. I’m home right after work and usually spend weekends at home — unless I’m traveling with my furry friends 🤭 I have a gated yard and two fur babies to keep your family member engaged and safe. I do not crate dogs during the day, unless they are actively working on crate training but I do crate at night for safety purposes. Please be sure to bring your dog’s crate as most feel more comfortable in their own. While I do have crates available, I also prioritize your pet’s comfort. To ensure the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I require that all boarding dogs be up to date on vaccines and flea treatments, with vet records to corroborate this. This requirement helps keep everyone safe and ensures your dog returns home as healthy as they arrived.

Trinity took this job last second over the Holliday. She took great care of our dogs and would let us know if anything happened. Seeing the pics daily I could tell how much our dogs enjoyed having her there to watch them and spend time with them.

Our anti-social kitty likes her better than us! Allison is incredible!!! From the moment we met her for a meet & greet I knew she was perfect. We felt 100% comfortable with her coming in to our home, and knew our cats were in great hands. She’s responsible, great at communicating with us, and so sweet. She must be a cat whisperer because our shy kitty not only snuggled her day 1, but even let Allison rub her belly! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful professional do checkins/feeding while we were away.

Madison is a Godsend. Our senior dog had just lost his eyesight and we moved to NC. I was traveling a lot and we needed help. She has been wonderful with our dog and she is kind and caring and lets us know how he is doing. We couldn’t do it without her. And our furry boy loves her. She takes such good care of him and knows just what to do for him. Thank you, Madison! ❤️
