About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as energetic puppies that require structured routines and basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s administering medication, sticking to special diets, or just offering extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and weekends, and I plan my days around the pets I care for—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication. I maintain a calm, consistent environment to help pets feel secure, and I give updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing. I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s usual routine to keep them happy and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I create a calm, secure, and familiar environment by following your routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m always mindful of safety, keeping doors, gates, and potential hazards in check, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. Building trust—with both you and your pet—is at the heart of how I care.
About: I have experience working for dog boarders and have been a lifelong adorer of absolutely all dogs. I will play with any dog and will tire them out (if allowed). I have never lost tug of war. I am a college student who cannot find a regular job so I am ALWAYS available. I can do mornings, nights, and all days of the week. I have lots of love to show your dogs and a unique ability to follow any and all instructions I am given. I can take your dog on walks anywhere and am able to drive them places if requested as I have a capacious and comfortable trunk. I am very flexible and can accommodate any special conditions that may prove difficult for others.
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Reagan. The daily pictures she sent spoke volumes of her time with Rally. He looked genuinely happy, engaged, and well cared for. He spent time with her both indoors and outdoors, and it was clear from his relaxed demeanor when we returned that he had been in good hands. Beyond Rally’s well-being, Reagan was incredibly professional. She was always prompt responding to messages and our home was in pristine condition when we got back, making it nearly impossible to tell she had even been there, except for the positive energy left behind! If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring, we wholeheartedly recommend Reagan. Rally loved her, and we did too!”
About: I treat your dog as I would want my own dog to be treated. The Golden Rule doesn't just apply to humans. My dog is a Canine Good Citizen so I am good at training puppies. My parents had senior dogs with seizures and diabetes so I am good at giving shots. I'm retired so I have a lot of time on my hands to stay with your pets. I am very flexible as to when I can come to your house. I will treat your pet with the same love and devotion that I give to my own pets. I will adhere to their normal routine so we won't stress them out anymore than they need to be while you're away.
“Seriously cannot thank Susie enough for the care she provided to our pups while we were out of town! She was perfect! I know they were loved because Susie shared pictures often. Highly recommended!! We will use her for care again!”
About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring a deep understanding of a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, and goats. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the level of care, patience, and attentiveness I provide to every animal I work with. I’m confident handling pets of all ages and temperaments, and I have experience with both high-energy puppies and senior animals that need extra care and gentleness. I’m also comfortable managing feeding routines, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn positive behaviors or ensuring a senior pet is comfortable and happy, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Animals aren’t just a job to me — they’re a passion. I treat every pet like my own, and I work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my presence. I am available for drop ins and dog walks everyday but Sunday. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around your schedule as well. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each animal’s needs and routine. In my home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean space to relax, play, and feel secure. I follow their usual schedule as closely as possible—this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions like medications or crate training. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household rules. I keep things consistent by maintaining the pet’s feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules just as their owners do. I also provide updates and photos to help clients feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I treat every home with care and professionalism, and every animal like they’re part of my own family. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable—wherever they are.
“Kathleen was awesome. She came at the time requested. She showed great interest in our dog from the moment she walked in the door. During her stay she stayed in touch with us and provided pictures. We will definitely book again”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
“She is simply the best! The boys loved her, she kept us well informed throughout out our trip, and we came home to freshly bathed dogs and a tidy house! If I could give her 10 stars I would ?! Book her you won’t be disappointed!”
“Jeff was great! He housesat and took care of our cat for 5 days - he provided updates to us and always responded quickly to any messages. I would not hesitate to work with Jeff again and would highly recommend him to others.”
