Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!

About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 I am currently home full time so have all the time in the world to spend with the animals. In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.

Shannon is great! One of our dogs is a little scared of new people sometimes, so she took the time to come meet the pups before our appointment. They were friends in no time. Will definitely be booking again for the future. Thanks again!

Hasn't happened for family, so I think we've found a keeper !! She did a great job and kept us posted on activity. Thanks Michele !

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now four years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if applicable, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day and can provide potty breaks when needed and playtime during lunch hour and in the evenings. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during lunch or evenings to check in, feed, and give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I prefer to host pets who know basic commands and can respect my dog and home.

About: What sets me apart is the love and care I give every pet. I treat animals like family and understand how important it is to know your furbaby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I had three furbabies of my own who were truly like my children, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, affection, patience, and care so they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I work full time from home, so furbabies will receive constant attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day. I understand the level of responsibility it takes to take for your loved ones. I provide loving, attentive care in a spacious home with a large backyard. No children or pets means your furbaby or furbabies receives my full attention.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 2 years, but they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.

About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.

Julia has a kind, gentle and fun way with animals. She has worked with a wide variety of animals. Prior to her initial visit, Julia was easy to communicate with regarding my wishes and concerns. During her visit with my 4 year old Portuguese Water Dog, she exceeded my expectations. She has a great attention to details. My dog was all smiles in the pics from her visit and seemed less needy than usual for my attention when I returned home from work that day. I have booked Julia for regular future visits and would highly recommend her to other pet parents!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I’m well educated on them. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and do dog grooming now so I’ve learned lots of tips and tricks. I have my own dog named Finley who is a mini Australian shepherd. I would love to help attend and take care of your fur babies!! I’ve decided I want to switch my job and do something I love more which is to be with animals! I have lots of free time coming up and would love to spend it with more dogs! I have a big yard, and live on a bog which means lots of fun walks and adventures! My dog loves running and being outside playing fetch, and I would of course do any dogs favorite thing such as walks, swims, fetch, and more! My dog gets crated as needed, and of course if your fur baby is under my care then I will be going by your rules and how you prefer things for your dog.

Entrusting a beloved pet to someone else’s care can be a daunting experience, filled with concern and apprehension. However, discovering Sam who is both compassionate and highly reliable transforms this process into one of ease and reassurance. I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Sam, whose dedication, attentiveness, and genuine affection for animals have truly enriched the lives of both myself and my girlfriend as well as our cherished companion Bentley. One of the aspects we most appreciated was the consistent and thoughtful communication Sam provided. Each day, I received detailed updates, including photographs and descriptions of our pet’s activities. These messages allowed my girlfriend and I to remain connected with Bentley afar and eased any anxiety we might have felt about being away.
