“Michelle always takes care of our kitty boys so well! We appreciate her communication and attentiveness.

Thanks, Michelle!”

About: I've owned dogs for the past 35 years and absolutely love them! I currently have one of my own who spends time at my daughter's house. Winston loves meeting new friends and coming over to visit. If you decide to board with us, please note they'll want to check you out first. I just recently retired and would love to help people and their fur babies out by being there for them. I know it can be difficult to find someone to watch the dog when you need to leave town so that's why I'm on here. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them because it's important that they release some energy and don't stay inside all day. Hope to hear from you and your fur baby real soon. Can't wait to meet you! I am currently retired so I am home mostly all day unless I have an appointment. With me being home, I can make sure they get the love and attention they need! I have a fenced in yard where they can run and play freely. They are allowed on the furniture if it's OK with the owner. I treat them like they are my own and follow their daily routines.

About: Hi! I'm Laney, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From high energy puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC, I pride myself on providing personalized, dependable care that fits each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach - whether it's long walks, playtime, or just cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet like they're my own. You can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry family members safe and happy while you're away! I currently work remotely part-time, so I have tons of free time in my day to give love to your babies! I love going on a daily walk when its not storming so getting your pups exercise in for the day will be no issue! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and familiar environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine - whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime - so they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I always keep the space clean, pet-proofed, and cozy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions to a T. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, special diets, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what each pet needs.

About: Hi! I’m Jada, a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even horses. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry, of finned family members. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits into my daily routine through my lunch breaks—I work a typical 8–5 schedule, but I always make time mid-day to check in on pets nearby. It’s a great way for me to break up the workday and spend time doing something I love. I know many pet owners can’t make it home during lunch, so I’m happy to help by providing walks, check-ins, or some playtime and attention to keep their pets happy and comfortable until they’re back home. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s needs—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just some quiet companionship. I make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and comforting, and I treat their home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I also love sending photo or text updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
