About: I come from a family of vets and have volunteered for animal hospitals/shelters for over ten years, which means I have experience with all animals big and small (including animals like hermit crabs and teacup pigs)! I don’t have my own pup right now and would love to treat your BFF to some quality scritches, walks, runs (if desired), and play sessions!! I view my own pets as family members and yours will be treated the same way while in my care. I work from home two days a week, am off on the weekends and have a long lunch break on the remaining weekdays. I am also able to stop by before and after work. This enables me to care for your pet morning, noon and night throughout the week. I live on 0.4 acres and have tons of sidewalks near my house, so your pups will have plenty of space to play and stretch their legs!! Indoors, we have a large pet bowl with filtered water and tons of comfy places to curl up and bask in the sun. If at your house, I will care for your pet the same way you would- I will visit you ahead of time and take detailed notes so their routines stay consistent!

13. Payton M.
“Payton is not only sweet but also punctual and knowledgeable about dog behavior. She followed our instructions meticulously and kept us updated with excellent communication. We look forward to continuing to work with her!”
14. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea is a naturally gifted caregiver. For the last 10 years, she has been the first person that I ask whenever I need someone to sit for my dogs (or my children!). My dogs are safe and happy at her home, love her fenced in backyard, and love the attention they get from her and her family.”
15. Jolene F.
“If you are looking for someone to care for your furry friend then look no further! Jolene is a very kind and loving pet parent and will treat your pet like family! She has two of her own dogs which she adores and loves unconditionally. You can trust her to give your pets the attention they need. You will not be disappointed!”
16. Angela L.
“Angela has taken care of many family and friends over the years. She helped me out when I had knee surgery and helped me take care of my dog, Hanson, that is a Yorkie and my cat, Tucker! She has a love for animals especially dogs and cats and has experience taking care of all kinds of animals with her unique personality that all animals love. Her character is impeccable and she would be a blessing for anyone who needs her to help with their animals. I wish she lived closer to me because I could use her responsible, fun, loving personality with my babies.”
17. Anastasia S.
“Annie has watched my dogs multiple times and she is great with them. She will love your dogs as if they’re her own! She is one of the few people i trust to leave my dogs with because they love her so much! If Annie is with your pup, just know they’re in good hands.(: She’s very responsible and the sweetest person ever!”

About: Growing up I had eight dogs, four cats and two rabbits. So I definitely have the experience. 😌 I love being around animals and you can trust that I will treat them just like family. I currently work from home so my schedule is completely open to help you with your pet. I am available during the week as well as the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard and two of my own little fur babies to keep yours company! And they have no problem sharing their toys.😉 I am also able to crate if needed.
20. Allison W.
“Allison is the actual best! She has cared for my family’s dogs and cat before, and I literally can’t say enough nice things about her. She loves animals and treated ours like they were her own while we were away. She is very knowledgeable about pets and has experience caring for animals with specific medical needs. (One of ours had a disease that required he be monitored closely and have meds administered.) Allison was very kind and compassionate throughout our experience. I am picky and have a lot of anxiety when we leave our babies, but I trust her completely with our pets and our home. Can not recommend enough.”
