“Wendi was wonderful with our cat! She was on time, very communicative, and took great care of our cat. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was in good hands while we were away!”
“Dana is the best! She has spent time getting to know my (very skittish) kitties, and really spends time with them when she's here. We so appreciate her, and we know you will, too!”
“Raleigh did a great job watching our cat, Polly. He was very responsive, anticipated what we would want/need and also very prompt. I highly recommend him! Thanks Raleigh!”
“I am so happy I found Marisa to look after my 2 kitties! Total peace of mind! Marisa sends photos during the visits and keeps you updated! When I got home I knew the kittens had been in good hands by their happy demeanor. They were happy to see me but let me know it was OK if I have to go away again- they will be fine!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 3 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and temperaments, volunteered as a dog walker at the humane animal shelter ,fostered several cats (and proudly “foster failed” my first two—because I just couldn’t let them go!), and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Whether your pup needs energetic walks or your kitty just wants some quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like family. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, cuddles, and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, giving me the flexibility to drop by whenever your pet needs. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels relaxed and happy. I follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress. I provide plenty of attention and affection, monitor their behavior and well-being, and keep the space clean. I also ensure your home stays secure and follow any special instructions you provide to meet your pet’s unique needs.
“So glad I selected Susan to care for my fur babies! She genuinely cares, great communication and flexibility and always goes above and beyond! Having recently moved to the area I was concerned when I travel, not anymore! Thank you Susan for piece of mind and caring for my boyz”
About: Hello! I have worked at a boarding kennel for 5 years and have volunteered at the Humane society for 2 years as well. I am comfortable with everything your pet brings to the table! I am proficient in understanding a dogs behavior, your dog will be in trusted hands. I am currently working remote on Wednesdays and Fridays and would love some more dog time! I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles. I can’t wait to get my steps in with your dog!
About: I have professional experience working with various types of animal through previous workplaces. Both employers and pet owners have found me thorough and reliable when it comes to caring for animals In need. As a pet owner myself, I care for my animals daily. Given that, I have extensive experience in animal care. I make sure to care for animals within a warm, understanding and gentle approach I have administered medication (specifically insulin injections for a diabetic pup.), aswell as administering pills, antibiotics, ear drops for infections, and allergy medications. I am willing to meet the medical needs of your pet. I also have experience walking and feeding dogs. I am able to walk dogs of all sizes. For larger dogs however, they would need to be well-trained on a leash to ensure both the safety of your dog and myself.For cats, I have experience feeding and cleaning up litter boxes. For small animals, I am able to feed and care for guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, gerbil, Bunnies etc. as long as im given clear instruction. Feel free to message me with any questions in regards to my willingness and abilities!
“Michael was great from our initial meetup to the drop in visits for our dogs. I knew they were cared for and looked very happy in the pictures he provided. I will be booking with them again in the future.”
“Carrie took care of our two sweet cats while we were away for three week and she did a great job! She was responsive, dependable and regularly sent us pictures. We were glad to have the peace of mind that our cat babies were well taken care of.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Sara (AKA Rosie) while we were away for five days in South Carolina. She was incredibly reliable, completing every single scheduled drop-in (3 times per day) without missing a beat. What truly sets her apart is how much quality time she spends with the dogs—not just letting them out quickly, but actually sitting with them, playing, and giving them space to run and explore in our large yard. Our doorbell would notify us when she showed up at the house and she was always out in the yard with the dogs while they explored. She followed all care instructions, including administering their daily joint supplements, and kept me constantly updated with detailed reports and at least 10 photos per visit—which meant I was getting about 30 pictures a day of my dogs being happy, active, and well cared for. That level of visibility gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly proactive: when one of my dogs ran off to a less visible part of the yard, she immediately notified me and took steps to make sure he was safe (he was probably sniffing groundhog holes and choosing not to listen because he loves the yard). I also appreciated her sharing a funny moment when my dogs calmly sniffed a wild bunny—they weren’t aggressive, just curious, and it was comforting to know she filled me in on notable happenings while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with our pets again—she’s professional, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a real love for animals. Highly recommend!”
