“Rebecca was wonderful - dependable, caring and knowledgeable. She sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that our cat felt totally comfortable with her. Will absolutely be a repeat customer!”


About: I’ve owned a Labrador and Rottweiler, so I’m experienced in handling breeds with good and bad reputations. No dog is too big for me to care for and no dog is too small, either. I have about 200 hours of job shadowing experience at a veterinary clinic, so I’ve had exposure to cats and dogs of all kinds of sizes and behaviors. I currently own 4 cats and am experienced in caring for them and their environment. I also have experience in caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I own 2 rabbits currently. I’m unemployed, so I tend to have lots of free time, meaning I have lots of time I can spend caring for your pets with the utmost care. I have a large, fenced yard and large areas inside my house for animals to roam and play in. All my pets are friendly towards newcomers.

“Jen is top quality dog care. She puts her heart and soul into your pet. Prezi loves her. I highly recommend Jen. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my baby girl. Thank you for being so good Jen”

About: I've taken care of house pets since I was 8 years old and loving and caring for animals has been my passion ever since. Life without pets is a life wasted. Each day I care for my pets by nurturing them to happiness, protecting them from harm and id like to extend my love for your animals. I'm available the following days and times daily... Monday, Tuesday & Thursday: 10:30-11am & 8:30-9pm Wednesday, Friday & Saturday: 8:45-9:15 & 7:30-8pm Sunday: 9:45am-10:15am & 6:30-7pm I care for pets like family; with love, enjoyable activities, attention and care.

About: I'm a special education teacher who has lots of experience taking care of others. My patience is very high and I have a high need to take care of things. I've owned a dog that I loved. Taking him for walks was one of my favorite things to do with him. Taking him out to do his business, no matter the weather, never bothered me. We would have fun going to parks where we would play fetch and where he could run around. I'm willing to stay at homes to take care of your pet if you feel more comfortable with that than your pet staying in my home. I have a lot of love to give and, if you'll let me, I would love for you to allow me to lavish your pet with that love.

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

“Madison was great with my cats. So glad I chose her to care for them while we were away. She did everything perfect. Definitely will choose her again. Love the picture updates as well.”


“Between being responsible, a good communicator, offering fair pricing and all the great photos Brooke gets my seal of approval! She even worked on tricks with my puppy Snoopy and fed the fish so thumbs up.”


About: I have developed a strong set of skills when it comes to providing care to animals. With a deep love and understanding of their needs, I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being. My ability to administer medications to animals, whether it's a dog, cat, or any other pet, is a testament to my commitment to their health. Additionally, I take pride in my capability to care for both senior dogs, offering them the attention and support they require as they age, and energetic puppies, providing them with the playful and nurturing environment they need. Overall, my diverse range of skills makes me a reliable and compassionate caregiver for all animals. My schedule for working with animals is quite flexible and pet-friendly! I'm free on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows me ample time to dedicate to our furry friends. On weekends, I'm available before 11 in the morning and after 6 in the evening, ensuring that I can accommodate a wide range of pet-related activities. Mondays and Wednesdays are also open for animal adventures, with my schedule freeing up after 2 in the afternoon. This flexibility allows me to be there for our beloved pets whenever they need care, attention, or a playmate. I'm well-versed in various types of leashes and collars, making me a confident and responsible pet caregiver. Whether it's a standard leash, a harness, or a gentle leader, I know how to use them safely and effectively to ensure a comfortable and secure experience for the animals. I'm also well-acquainted with the rules of crate training, which is a valuable tool for both discipline and safety. Additionally, I pay close attention to any extra special care instructions for the animals, such as dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or specific grooming needs. This knowledge and attention to detail ensure that I can provide the best care possible for our beloved pets, meeting their individual needs with care and expertise.

Anna W.
“Anna Wood is a very dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and loving pet sitter. She watched our new 11 week old English Mastiff puppy, Kodac last spring; while we were out of the country and I was super anxious. However, I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our new baby. He had been a surprise birthday present; so he was only with us 3 weeks before we had to leave him. She came over ahead of time to learn him, and his (our) schedule; was very attentive to him; kept his training on task; and even sent us daily pictures and FaceTimed to let us know how he was. She definitely goes above and beyond with all the animals she cares for. I have used her numerous times; and Kodac still loves her visits. I would, and have recommended her to family and friends- if I don’t need her.”
