“Marie was great! She updated us daily with photos of Poker and all the fun he was having through the week stay. We can’t thank Marie enough for taking such great care of our fur baby and would certainly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Ever since I was little my family has always had pets. I have a dog of my own and I enjoy spending time with him. I think animals are very special. I’m currently on summer break. So I am always at home and have a free schedule. I can take care and walk pets at anytime. I have a fenced in backyard but my front yard is also unfenced so if your dog likes to run around I have both to offer. I have 2 dogs of my own who are great with other animals. I also will be able to separate them from other dogs if your animals don’t get along with others. I also have crates if your dog needs one.
“Renee was so kind and helpful for us. We were in a bind when traveling and needed to find a comfortable place for our senior dog for a few days. Renee was kind enough to accommodate our travel schedule and offered to meet us on our route - on our way to and from our destination! This was above and beyond. Our dog seemed very relaxed and comfortable when we got her back. Renee sent pictures and updates so I knew our dog was in a safe setting and well taken care of, and her communication was quick and responsive.”

I’ve worked over 5 years in animal care at a small zoo and nature center, and also volunteered for animal rescues. I’ve raised and released orphaned baby squirrels, cared for injured wildlife, and spent countless hours making animals feel safe, understood, and loved. At home, I’ve lived with just about every type of pet: dogs, cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, amphibians, horses, chickens—even a pig! I’m confident with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I bring calm, kindness, and attentiveness to every interaction. Professional Animal Care Experience Includes: 🐶 Dogs & cats 🐰 Rabbits, rodents, and small mammals 🐍 Snakes, turtles, and frogs 🦜 Birds—including raptors and a macaw 🐎 Horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, and chickens 🦝 Wildlife like raccoons, deer, foxes, opossum, bobcat, prairie dogs, armadillo, and even alligators Whether your pet is shy or social, high-energy or mellow, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the care and attention they need to feel secure while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your animal family! Currently working from home which allows me a very flexible schedule. Available for visits, walks, boarding in my home or overnight care in your home. Care according to your pets needs following their regular schedule.

“Maddy was wonderful with my dog Arrow. She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure that Arrow was well cared for. Arrow loved playing with her dog as well. Arrow came back happy and tired!”

“Sharon has cared for my pets for years. Having worked in a zoo, she is comfortable with exotics, birds, dogs, cats, critters, even my ponies. She is capable of medicating them and small emergencies, and does so with love and affection. I do not hesitate to fully recommend her for whatever pet care you need, from pet sitting to daily walking. Honest and reliable.”

Jill T.
“Jill has a real talent with pets. Maybe it’s the way she notices them? My doggies, when they were puppies and when they were old, loved her. They always perked up when she was around. And I’ve seen this with other people’s pets as well. She’s worked in many different animal environments throughout her life, such as interning at a zoo and animal hospitals and veterinary clinics. Jill has a lot of experience and really knows how to take care of them. See if you can get her to take a picture, too. She’s a pretty darn good animal photographer!”
