About: Hi, I’m Michael! Here is a little bit about me that hopefully will help you get to know me and trust me with the care of your pets. I have been taking care of animals for 13 years of my life. Those 13 years of experience include taking care of my own dogs, working at a doggy daycare, and also working in vet offices in my hometown, as well as working as a veterinary technician. I have dedicated a huge part of my life to caring for animals, so I understand what needs to be done to take care of them best! I am trustworthy, reliable, genuine, hardworking, and caring. Your pets and getting them the care that they deserves are my top priority. There is no job that is too big or small for me to do and I am here to meet you and your pet’s needs. I really hope this helped you to get to know me a little more and that it helps you feel comfortable with me watching and caring for your pets. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. I am constantly taking care of pets, whether it's at my own 2 dogs at home, the pets of family members, or the pets of friends. I understand the need to have a set routine and general flow of care. I will be available to take care of your pets on the weekdays and the weekends when I am not at work. In your home, I will make your pets feel as at ease at they possibly can be. I am in their space and I want them to be able to get the same amount of care as usual.

“Myleigh was able to come within a hour of my request for dog walking which was incredibly helpful. I needed someone to come for a day and a half and Myleigh was available and on time each time, even in the rain. Very nice, Molly loved walking with her!”


“Matt is absolutely great! He was very responsive and always on time. He always took great care of my dog Jane, and she looked forward to him coming by every day! I would 100% book with Matt again. Definitely recommend booking with him!”


About: I am very responsive and flexible able to adapt to a change of plans on short notice to make it easier for our furry friends and owners. Having an energetic dog most of my life I will make sure your furry friends get lots of love and exercise while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most owners schedules on a short notice. I have most of my availability during the morning and early day! Would love to help out in anyway I can! I make sure your pets needs are met and receive a good amount of play time! Living next to a park makes this easy! Whenever I care for a furry friend they are my number one priority and have all my attention.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life (“good” and “bad”) and understand anxiety related to finding trusted pet sitters. Currently Mom to my foster failure, Bali♥️ I’m currently retired so have a lot of flexibility. Happy to take your fur baby for a walk or throw a ball in your backyard! Caring for your fur baby in your home, I follow your rules. Snuggling on the couch or bed allowed? I’m in! Prefer Fido crated? Okeydoke.

About: Hello! I'm Annie, and I run a local premium pet care service with my partner Robbie. I've been professionally pet- and house-sitting since 2018, though animals have always been a part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (1–85 lbs), including senior pets, pets with special needs, and those requiring medication or specialized care. Whether it’s using a crate, leash, or harness—your pet’s safety is always my top priority. You’ll notice that your pet(s) warm up to me quickly—animals tend to sense my calm, nurturing presence and years of hands-on experience. I genuinely love what I do and feel honored every time I’m trusted with such an important member of your family. I send regular photo updates during my stay so you can always feel connected and reassured. Important Note (Please Read): Moving forward, I only work with families who are comfortable with my baby daughter joining me for all pet care services. My partner, Robbie, also joins me for all overnight stays. Because of this, it’s essential that any pets I care for are well-socialized and comfortable around children and new adults. If your pet(s) have any history of reactivity or discomfort around babies, children, or unfamiliar people, I kindly ask that we do not move forward with services—safety comes first for everyone involved. What to Expect: I typically start with a quick phone call to go over the basics. If it feels like a good fit, we then set up a meet-and-greet with your pet(s) to ensure compatibility and go over all important details (house rules, routines, medical needs, vet contacts, favorite activities, and more). These consultations usually last about 30 minutes. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away—and that you feel peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I run an online business with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care in a consistent and dependable way. I’m typically never away from the home for more than 4–5 hours at a time, and I always communicate clearly about my availability before booking. As a new mom, I will have my baby daughter with me during all pet care visits and house sitting stays. Because of this, I only work with pets who are well-socialized and comfortable around infants. When house sitting, I keep my schedule light so I can focus on your pet’s needs and provide a calm, loving environment. Pet care is not just a side gig—it’s something I love and integrate thoughtfully into my week. I work with dogs ranging from 1-85 pounds and have experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and giving medications. I am comfortable using a crate, leash, and harness for your pets safety. I ask that any specific rules in regards to safety be discussed during out meet and greet.
