About: With a lifetime of experience growing up with dogs and over a year working at a doggy daycare, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of all kinds of pets. I’ve fostered dogs of various breeds and temperaments, learning how to offer personalized care and help them thrive in new environments. As a current cat parent to two playful kittens and the proud owner of a senior dog, I'm experienced in caring for pets at all life stages—from high energy puppies to older dogs who need extra TLC. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, playtime, or just cuddling up for a quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a loving, safe, and engaging experience for your pets while you’re away. I take pride in creating an stress-free environment, making sure every pet feels like part of the family! • Monday & Tuesday: I work 8am to 4pm. During these days, I’m available in the mornings before work or in the evenings after 4pm for pet care, walks, or feeding. • Wednesday & Thursdays: I work from 10am to 6pm. I’m available early in the morning before work, and in the evening after 6pm. • Fridays: I work from 3pm to 9pm. I have the entire morning and early afternoon available to care for your pets, plus late evening after my shift ends. • Weekends: I’m off Saturdays and Sundays, so I have all day to offer full-time care, walks, playtime, and overnight stays if needed. During my free time, I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays, ensuring that your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I’m also available for pet sitting or providing companionship when you’re out for a long period, making sure you’re pet feels loved and safe while you’re away. Growing up, I had the privilege of fostering dogs, which gave me a deep understanding of how to care for pets in transition, adapting to their individual needs, and helping them feel comfortable in a new environment. At home, I follow a structured yet flexible routine to ensure both my playful kittens and my senior dog feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. My kittens have daily playtime with interactive toys, cuddle sessions, and a consistent feeding and litter box routine to keep them comfortable. For my senior dog, I focus on gentle walks, light playtime. I also keep close eye on her health and managing any medication she is taking. With my experience working at a doggy daycare for over a year, I’ve learned to care for pets of all energy levels and personalities. I’ve handled everything from puppies needing lots of play and socialization to older dogs who need a calm and comfortable environment. This experience has given me the skills to manage multiple pats at once, create positive routines, and ensure each pet’s needs are met. When caring for your pets, I’ll offer the same dedication and attention to routine. Whether your pets are young, active, or senior and more relaxed, I’ll adapt their care to ensure they feel secure, loved, and at ease while you’re away. From feeding to walks, playtime, and meditation administration, your pet’s well-being will always be my top priority.
“Kenzie was amazing with our two dogs. She took wonderful care of them and our home. I would recommend her to anyone. She went above what was asked of her. I will definitely be asking for her again.”

About: Hello friends! I'm so happy to express my experience with you. I have had dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life. Helping my friends out is what gave me this idea. We have 4 dogs of our own, 1 cat and chickens. I'm not shy to say how much we love animals. Why choose me though? Well, it's simple. I'm doing this service because I know how important it is to HAVE to work in this economy. I know how important it is to take a vacation from all the craziness. We will be taking a vacation as well. Guess who will be watching my pets? But what about YOUR animals? I've had experience in a kennel environment and I know your animals are less stressed, less risk of disease like kennel cough, and happier being taken care of in the comfort of there own home. That's where I come in. I want to make sure your babies are safe, stress free and happy until you arrive home. Don't let your lifestyle be the reason why you couldn't have a pet or worry about them in the kennel the whole time. Having a person who loves animals like I do is the difference. It's not just a service, it's peace of mind. I currently own my own cleaning business. I love being with my children and homeschooling them. We have been going strong for a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and making my own schedule. I am picking this job up to help others and these pets. With the economy I'm seeing more and more moms having to go back to work. What about your pets? I love animals, so this is a perfect fit for me to embark on. I'm also showing my kids that a simple service makes the biggest changes in someone life. I would treat your pet the same way I do mine. With calm energy, love and happiness. These pets deserve the best. I want to make your life easier knowing your pets are being handled with care and respect.
“Corissa did wonderful taking care of my dog! She watched him over the 4th of July weekend and he’s afraid of fireworks. she made him as comfortable as possible and sent me lots of photos and videos to put me at ease! I will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: Through my years of pet care, I’ve learned that every critter has their own way of needing to be cared for and loved. I enjoy focusing on outdoor exercise and exploration. It’s a fun way to wear everyone out and meet all the needs for nap time. I currently work a full time remote job, so my schedule is very flexible. Boarding is easy to fit in to my daily schedule. In-house visits can be scheduled easily throughout the day. Let me know your situation and we can see what’s possible! I live on some land that allows for wide open ranging with safe boundaries from any roadway or neighborhood. I have a friendly dog myself, Roo (m/neutered), who gets along well with anyone who likes fetch as much as him. He is off leash with me on site everyday and tends to keep everyone within the established safe zones. However you need routine to look, I’m happy to accommodate.
About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.
“Maci was amazing! She took such great care of our boys while we were away. She sent pictures and kept us updated. Our boys LOVED her! I highly recommend and will absolutely be booking her for future trips we take! ☺️”
“She did a great job with 3 difficult dogs. She gained their trust and stayed to comfort them. It was our first time leaving them. We recommend her and will use her again if she's available. She's so easy going!”
About: I love all animals, however, Large and Giant Breed dogs are my passion. I currently have 3 Great Danes and 2 cats. I have had large and giant breeds my entire adult life. I know the special care they require and understand their needs. I am certified in Dog / Cat first aid through the Red Cross. Having the ability to work from home allows me to spend my days loving, playing, caring for my 5 animals. If you have wifi, I can work and stay with your pet not only in the evening or overnight, but during the day as well. Whether it is playing, walking, or just loving on your dogs you can know they are in good hands and not alone while in their own comfort zone...Their own home!
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life big and small. From a Great Pyrenees to a Boston Terrier. I stay active with cardio daily so running or walking and especially playing with your pet is no problem! I am looking to not only love your pet like my own, but give them all the love, care, and attention they need. I’m working with full availability as of now so anytime works for me! All I ask is a few days notice so that I may prepare in any ways necessary! How I may care for a client’s pet in their home varies on the service they need and the type of environment I will be working in. All details can be discussed once you reach out to me!
