About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and over 40 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m very comfortable with large breeds and currently own a German Shepherd, so I understand the structure, exercise, and consistency they need. I’m also experienced with puppies, seniors, feeding routines, and daily care. One of the main reasons I do pet care is because I know how hard it can be to find someone who truly works around a real schedule. Many sitters expect dogs to be done for the night far too early, which simply doesn’t work for most households. I believe dogs should be let out when they actually need to go — including later evening potty breaks. Now retired, I have the flexibility to design drop-ins around your dog’s normal routine, whether that’s meals, walks, playtime, or letting them out between 9–10pm. I treat every pet like my own and focus on calm, dependable, loving care so you can leave with peace of mind. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I can accommodate early mornings, later evenings, and customized routines for meals, walks, and potty breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions and take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with large breeds, puppies, seniors, and pets who need consistency and structure. In your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed carefully, and pets are never rushed. I’m happy to provide updates during visits so you know your pet is doing well. If requested, I’m also happy to bring in mail or packages during visits, which can be helpful while you’re away. Being retired allows me to be fully present and attentive, so both your pet and your home are well cared for.

The dogs enjoyed Jessica from the first meeting. She was there on time for drop ins and fulfilled our dogs needs as we asked. She even tested our collars upon letting the dogs out and reached out about the concern that one wasn’t working. Definitely satisfied parents and dogs. Will use again!

Mandy did an amazing job with our dog. Our dog is very anxious and doesn't like many new people and Mandy was able to work with her very well. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated!

Selena was able to watch my cat with only three days notice. My regular sitter canceled at the last minute before my vacation. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. The feeding schedules were a little different than he was used to because we were squeezed in at the last minute.

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.

Kerry was very patient and understanding of our reactive dog while watching our cat as well, and she did a great job with him. Communication and punctuality were excellent and she was receptive to any feedback or suggestions about the dog. She even committed to an additional meet and greet to help make him more comfortable for the pet sitting.

About: My family has always had animals and we couldn’t live without them. I’ve always been the biggest animal lover 🖤🐾 no matter the size or breed, I’ll treat them like I would my own! My current schedule is flexible. I am always wanting to help others and I’ve been successful with making plans that work best for me and my clients needs. I prioritize my own health so daily walking and playing with your fur babies will be enjoyable for the both of us! 🥰 I am a nurse first but if I didn’t take care of humans for a living, I’d take care of pets without a doubt. I am patient, honest, gentle, and trustworthy. I’ve never met an animal who didn’t gravitate towards me. You can rely on me to get the job done.

About: I'm always available and I love all animals. I'm CPR certified and I calm with emergency situations and know how to handle them. I have two dogs of my own and a spoiled rotten cat as well as a friend who lives with me and helps with the animals. I am very flexible with my hours and rates. I'm open to sitting for cats and dogs only. In emergencies I will be happy to transport to owners vet at their expense. I do not potty train. All animals must have some obedience training and be housebroken before I can make any pet sitting exceptions. I will provide food, toys, crates, or anything your pet needs during its stay. I can't wait to start watching your pet. I am willing to help with obedience training. For grooming or any kind of pet services I will need copies of vaccination records as well as emergency contact numbers as you pet will use my own professional groomer who is paid 40.00 per pet at your expense & I will need time to book an appointment in advance with a groomer. I am home all the time, I stay home so I can take care of my own dogs & keep my home clean. Rover is my job I have a fenced in run connected to an enclosed patio & I allow them to be inside bedrooms in their crates or play in my living room & kitchen area with supervision, they must be house broken
