“From the meet and greet to her last visit with our pups, Kayla was wonderful. She communicated with us during and after every visit, sending us pictures of our fur babies and reassuring us that they were doing well. Our minds were at ease knowing how well they were being cared for, and we came home to two very happy, healthy puppers! Our family highly recommends Kayla, and we will definitely request her help in the future!”
“Amy stopped by to meet our pup before her first visit. Our pup took to her immediately! On visit day she arrived on time and did exactly what we asked. Thank you Amy!”
“Alexandria is always so wonderful with our cat. This time around, she had the added task of administering medicine, and she had no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I am an avid pet lover, having owned two dogs and a cat. I have experience with anxious and senile pets, as well as walking cats. I am also a quick learner for any other needs, so just let me know pet-specific needs! I love to cook elevated pet meals enriched with beef, fresh veggies, fish oil, etc and also am a strong supporter of animal enrichment such as treat puzzles and learning new tricks! If your pet needs to be the only pet, let me know and I can accommodate for you. I work from Monday to Thursday, and I have the rest of the time with no other commitments. As this is my only obligation, I have the time to give my full attention to your pet! Before booking, I would love to chat with you to make sure this is a good match! Getting to know you and your pet can help ensure a successful trip for your pet. I would love to know details such as your pets’ personality, likes/dislikes, fears, and anything else you deem important. I am located walking distance to a vet as well as Zonolite Park. We can go for long walks there or doggy play dates with a close neighbors’ dog if you would like! I have many years’ experience babysitting, so understand this dynamic well. My goal is to help everyone feel comfortable and priority is your pet’s wellbeing and happiness. I am excited to meet you and your pet!

“Shaynna is absolutely amazing! She came to meet the cats and talk about their routine a week before we left for vacation. We were out of town for 10 days, and never worried about our cats. We received daily reports and pictures. Shaynna will be hired again if we go out of town. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for three years and I truly love what I do. Please note that I cannot provide cat care as I am allergic! I’m currently part of the team at Good Dog Paws, a facility that has been voted Best Pet Training in the Tri-State area for 2023, 2024, and 2025 — and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of such a trusted and respected organization. At Good Dog Paws, I handle a wide range of responsibilities that have helped me become confident in working with all types of dogs. I bathe dogs, manage feeding routines, administer medications (including oral and topical treatments), and closely supervise group play to ensure every dog stays safe and happy. I’ve learned to read body language, manage group dynamics, and handle unexpected situations calmly and professionally. In addition to my work at Good Dog Paws, I’ve also volunteered at the Washington County Humane Society as a dog walker. That experience helped me become more comfortable with dogs who may be shy, nervous, or still learning basic manners, and I’ve developed a gentle, patient approach to building trust with animals who need a little extra love. I’ve also provided pet sitting and house sitting services for both family and my boss. These experiences have taught me how important it is to follow routines closely, keep pets comfortable in their own home, and maintain regular communication with pet parents while they’re away. Whether I’m taking care of a senior dog with special needs or entertaining an energetic pup with tons of personality, I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time for pet care in my schedule! Please reference my calendar and message me as needed for availability! I plan to keep your loved ones safe through supervision and attentive care. Through my years of experience caring for animals, I will give them the best quality of life as possible!

About: My family has always had pets. I’ve grown up with birds, rabbits, hamsters, cats, dogs, and tons of other crazy pets. In the last few years, my family has started a dog rescue from out of their home. I also work in and out of peoples homes for my job as a private house cleaner, where I come in contact with many pets everyday. I also have five pets of my own currently. I am currently working a part-time housecleaning job where I am working afternoons tuesday through thursday, and a part-time serving job. However, Im very passionate about animals & i’m more than happy to help whenever needed and can do so :) I have lots of experience letting dogs out, keeping dogs on leashes, walking dogs, feeding dogs, and more. We have a strict routine at the rescue since we have brought many new dogs in.
About: I’ve had a dog in the home since I was 8 years old, and since moving from my parents I’ve helped with caring for their current dog. If I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d have a dog myself. I love walks, and scooping poop doesn’t scare me! In my eyes, Dogs are members of the family. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. Pet care is more than just replacing water and feeding, it’s playtime, engagement and grooming as well. Maximizing the amount of time spent with animals is important, even if they are considered “low maintenance”. I am very affectionate with animals, and careful with how I speak/act around them. Animals are to be treated with care and respect. I am comfortable with letting dogs out to go to the bathroom/play, playing with them indoors and/or outdoors and walking them. I am able to feed animals, and provide treats. I am also able to follow instructions in regard to commands. With cats, I can feed them, play with them and change the litter box. I am also comfortable brushing animals, cleaning ears and administering most medications.
About: I love spending time with animals every day! I bring fun, care, and belly rubs to every visit. Your pup’s happiness is my priority. 🌿 I’m available weekdays from 12 to 8pm and weekends 10 AM to 9PM. Flexible with last-minute requests—just let me know! changes lot too. thank (: I care for pets safely in their home, follow all instructions, maintain routines, secure doors, and provide updates to keep owners confident and pets comfortable.
“I needed someone to let my 2 fur babies out mid day and play in the yard with them and Anna was great. She was very flexible with meeting. I appreciated she updated me and sent pictures of the boys. Peace of mind. Will use again!”
