“Barbara did an excellent job taking care of our cats! She successfully administered medication to a challenging cat. She brought over toys to play with them each day and sent me text and video updates. Barbara made full use of her time at our place, ensuring the cats and home were well cared for and alerting us of anything that may need attention. I would definitely book her again and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Abby is great at interacting with our GSD Loki! Loki is a scary breed for a lot of people but he is a lover boy. Abby did a great job allowing him to get used to her, not pushing or pressuring him but using treats and social acuity to allow them to come close after only a few visits. She does some training with him too, which is always appreciated because he loves learning and working. She is super communicative about the visits and responds very promptly when we reach out or request a visit which is much appreciated!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I’ve enjoyed taking care of my family and friend's pets since I was around 14. I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding place for over a year, taking care of up to around one hundred dogs a day. I often stayed overnight there to make sure they were all doing good. Including all dogs from young to old and dogs with disabilities, illnesses, etc. With this experience taking care of one dog to a couple dogs will be no problem for me and I’ll have a great time doing it! I’m currently in college and most of my classes are online. I’d be more than happy to look after your pups while working on assignments on my laptop. Your dogs will be my first priority and I’ll still have plenty of time to play, go on walks and give them a ton of attention! I’m more than happy to follow whatever schedule your dog is used to with feeding times, meds, etc. and any other particular things I can do make them happy! Along with being respectful to your home and all the rules you have, including taking care of household duties like taking out the trash before pickup and etc.
About: I have taken care of my own pets for all of my life. People have noticed the care and time I put into their lives and have trusted me to train and take care of of others peoples pets as well. I love walking, playing, feeding and anything you can think of with your pets. I am available pretty much every day all day except for Wednesday and Sunday morning. Feel free to contact me and work out a good time. Anything needed I can provide at clients home. Only thing I am unable to do is keep pets at my own home. Just give me details and I’ll be ready.
About: I have taken care of many dogs even ones with medical issues and I also am very active so walking them would be no problem! I work full time but I am able to make it work , I am also doing online college so that makes it easier also! Whether or not your dogs are trained off leash, I would prefer walking them, or taking them out on their leash just in case they don’t listen and runoff!
About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working between the vet clinic and grants farm live stock care! But my schedule has more room and I want to dedicate it to any and all animals I can! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!
“Mary was great! She sent me picture updates, was easy to work with, and most importantly, my dog LOVED her! She’s not usually too crazy about strangers, but she was very very excited to meet her! We will be booking with Mary again!”
“Alicia is so sweet with the cats. She takes special care with our senior kitty. I love that she stays in communication with us while we're gone and has been really flexible. I know our cats are already looking forward to seeing her again.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give every pet I meet. I treat them like family, not just clients. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing basic training and consistency, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle handling, and special care. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or nervous pets, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m a teacher on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. With more time at home and fewer daily commitments, I can give your pet the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's long walks, belly rubs, or just being there to keep them company, I’m able to fully focus on their needs during the summer months. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. I keep a clean, pet friendly environment and always prioritize safety, whether that's securing leashes, monitoring play, or giving them their own cozy space to relax. I also make sure to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy while you’re away.

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.

“Tracie would be perfect for this. She loves animals. She is very kind, caring, honest and has a big heart. I would absolutely let her care for any pet of mine. I know it would be in the best hands possible.”
Kerri H.
“Kerri was such a blessing to us when we were in a desperate situation. Our original dog watcher was cancelled on us at the last minute and we needed a place to board our two dogs. I called around asking and Kerri responded back saying she could. So began our amazing relationship of her watching our dogs. We have two golden retrievers (Bella and Biscuit). We had to go out of town for a funeral and she immediately said bring the dogs. After that she watched them regularly and many overnights. Bella and Biscuit were always so happy with Kerri. We loved having her watch them. You don’t have to worry about your dogs they will be well taken care of.”
