Jen is very kind to come at short notice. She is attentive to detail, and we are confident that we can trust that the visit will be just fine. Our cats are not lovey to strangers, but at least we.are able to determine that nothing is amiss.

Carmen did a great job with our cats while we were out of town. She did two drop-in visits, and the cats were in good spirits when we returned. We will absolutely book her again if the need arises.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Fur babies have a special place in my heart and I will take the best of care of any kind of fur baby. I currently have a two golden doodles(<1), an Australian Shepard(2), miniature Aussie(12) and a cat(13) I rescued from the humane society. I currently work 3 days a week and attend college. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than the days I work from 9 to 6:30. I am available on those days before 9 and after 6:30. I live in a home with a fenced in yard and three large dogs. The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

About: I am no stranger to walks, fancy meals, muddy paws, messy accidents, and lots of love! I have one rescue dog of my own, Aarya, who is more than just family to me. I have experience caring for several dogs with all sorts of personalities and needs. I am currently working a part-time summer job while I am home from college. My schedule is flexible and can fit with your schedule. I usually work 4 days a week, but have the opportunity to come and go as needed! I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them run and play in the backyard while supervised, crate them if needed, and keep up with their regular feeding schedule. I will make sure they get plenty of bathroom breaks, attention, and care while you're away! :)

I don't have any fur babies of my own, but am lovingly called the "pet auntie" by my friends. I'd love to be your go-to! I'm a teacher, so my summer schedule is highly flexible to meet the needs of you and your pets! I do stick to Monday-Saturday mornings and afternoons. While I can't keep pets in my own home, I am more than willing to travel to check-in on your pets at home.

About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up. From big dogs to little dogs, I can take them on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them all the love that they could possibly want. I am a teacher and currently have my summer off. I can stop by any time you need me. I prefer to come by during the day but will stop by any other time if needed. I will treat your pet as one of my own. Let me know of any requirements your pet may need and I will do my best to meet them.

Caroline is great! She’s prompt, friendly and very kind to our dogs. When we say her name now at the house, their heads pop up, their experience has been so pleasant that they know in a way who we’re talking about. A+.

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Animal enthusiast! What sets me apart is that I’m not only an experienced pet lover, but also a responsible and attentive caregiver who treats every animal like family. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, reliable care when needed. I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat, Gus, which has taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially patient and gentle, which helps with both energetic young pets and older pets who need a calmer, more careful approach. I also make sure to follow instructions closely, communicate clearly with owners, and provide updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. I'm committed to being reliable, responsive, and available when you need someone you can trust with your pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel secure and stress-free. In a client's home, I respect their space while maintaining their pet's normal schedule for feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I pay close attention to pets during visits and walks, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and make sure pets receive the same love, patience, and care that I give my own cat, Gus.

Your Pet's home away from home. Taking care of your babies is important, by providing a Pet friendly neighborhood with a park a block away and a fenced in backyard for your pets to enjoy. My experience in Pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I'm availble weekdays and weekends from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I'm an empty nester so can provide your fur baby with all the attention they need. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Elaine was great! She came over beforehand to get aquainted with our kitties and the supplies, and went out of her way to take great care of them while we were out of town. She even noticed that I had left wet laundry in the wash and offered to move it over so it didn’t get moldy. Highly recommend and will definitely book kitty care with Elaine again.

Before becoming a mom I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have been a stay at home mom now for almost 7 years and now that my kids are getting older I’d love to start getting myself back out there and what better way to start than spending time with pups!
