“Melinda was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and communicated often with photos during her service. Having Melinda stay in our home with our large dog, Luka, was the perfect fit! I was very impressed how comfortable he was with her right away and settled right in during the stay. Thank you Melinda for the peace of mind that our baby was well cared for while we were away!”
“Our dog seems happy and well cared for and the house is clean and very well looked after. Tommy even cleaned the things he used and left the house looking very clean! We would love to use him again!”
“Gabriella was just delightful. She loved Flynn and Flynn loved her! She sent pictures and status updates every day, and it was obvious that he had the very best of care. I highly recommend Gabriella and will be requesting her again for future trips. Thank you so much, Gabriella!”

About: Hello, I am a college student who is going into an environmental field, I love the wildlife and any animal, ive taken care of pets my whole life from neighbors to relatives to family friends, I am a dog person but any pet is welcomed and I always try to keep them as close to home as possible I currently have a job Monday- Friday, from 8-4 but I am always open on weekends and if its not a problem with the owners willing to take care in between my Job I always try to keep the pet care as closely similar as the animals daily schedule. I try to keep the animal stress free and relaxed, I used to spend time trying to understand these amazing animals and giving them what they need
About: I’ve cared for many of my own pets, more than just dogs and cats. Family and family friends have relied on me to watch their pets while on vacay. One of which is on 2 meds morning and night. With puppies I can do simple training I’m currently unemployed, so my availability is open to care for the fur babies that can’t do it all for themselves. Your furbabies routine becomes my routine My fur baby, Milo gets fresh water daily, refill food as needed, scoop litter every other day. And when it’s time to clean up after him everything gets a good wash especially the litter box because I myself cannot let that get disgusting. He gets his nails trimmed by me, and bathed from time to time
About: I've been around animals my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I've always had cats and dogs and care for them with so much love. I grew up with corgis and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Right now, I have two cats, a long-haired dachshund, and a Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix who keep life interesting! I've also cared for guinea pigs, a mouse, a bearded dragon, macaws, and lived with a pet snake growing up. Whether it's a kitten or a senior pup, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the same love and comfort they give us. I would love to be a friendly face your pet can feel safe with while you're away! I currently have open availability and a very flexible schedule. I'm seeking full-time work, so right now I'm available any day of the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet's safety is my top priority, in-home or out on a walk! I will follow any care instructions you provide and keep you updated as often as you'd like so you always feel confident they're in good hands.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since childhood, and my love for animals has only grown stronger over the years. I’m genuinely passionate about learning more about different species and what makes each one unique. My pet care experience comes from a lifetime of caring for my own animals, helping out family and friends, and volunteering whenever I get the chance. I am a full-time student, but I’m confident in my ability to manage my schedule and dedicate consistent time each week to pet care responsibilities. At home, I care for my dog by taking him on regular walks and making time for play and connection, it’s a meaningful part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their established routines to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment.
“Alyssa stayed at our home to watch our 12 year old German Shephered and 9 month old Belgian Malinois. We were very nervous about our Belgian as it would be the first time leaving her. Alyssa came twice to meet us and go over everything prior to the watch date. She communicated with us often and sent photos. We came home to our house in order and both of our doggies well loved. Highly recommend!!!”
About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.
