“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule. Jaylene took her time to win over Remi, who can be a little shy and skeptical upon meeting someone new. They went for a walk and Jaylene updated me with everything Remi did. Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”

“Super nice. Came when she said she would. Met all requests. Updated me with a message and photo for each visit. I’d definitely use her again! Also Clark my pup, warmed up to her immediately, which was a special bonus!”

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

About: I have had and cared for pets all my life, and have an extreme love for animals. Dogs are my favorite and I care for them with all my heart, but my love of animals spans much further. From four legged family members to barnyard beauties there is no animal I would not love to share some of my time with. I have also worked in a Vet office in the past, and even teach Dog Yoga on occasion! I treat all animals as I treat my own pets at home, with love, kindness, and respect. I am a Yoga Instructor, and usually teach classes in the morning and at night. This leaves my early mornings, afternoons, and late nights free. I have had many pets over the years that required different care. I can crate animals if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I am used to leash walking dogs if needed. I have a kitten at home who love to try and escape outside, and am always aware of pets’ location and safety.
About: My husband and I have been boarding our friends dogs during their vacations for years. We also have 4 teenagers that LOVE helping. We have an American Bully we adopted from one of our previous clients who couldn't care for him anymore. We want more dogs but are a busy family. So instead we love on those we care for as if they were our own. Tony is currently in school to become a certified dog trainer so he'll be First Aid and CPR trained soon. We understand that every dog has different needs. We are sure to pay attention to the instructions given to us by each owner to ensure the dogs are comfortable and feel at peace and safe when with us. Dog walking has become our specialty through this app. We have so much fun with them. This is something we want to do more of. Why choose us? Because we are like the aunt and uncle that give extra attention and love to their nieces and nephews! Tony is fully dedicated to the car of your pet. This is his full-time job and loves pets more than people sometimes. Lol. Leyda works from home full-time. She helps inbetween calls and fully available on the weekends. At my house we do walks 2-3 times a day and play time in the backyard at least once a day depending on the weather. We don't have any little kids but you'll find toys all around the house from the dogs we care for. There's no way a dog can be bored with us. Love and attention is what they will get when with us.
