“Kristina is incredible and so empathetic to our dog’s wants and needs. He struggles with separation anxiety and Kristina was more than willing to accommodate to make him comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again!”
About: Ive always been around animals, both wild and domestic. I feel very fulfilled and passionate about working with animals, and understand their language quite well. Im happy to give exercise or comfort, whatever is needed. I can do some behavioral training as well. Im happy to adapt to whatever needs present themselves! I'm currently back at my parents house, waiting to join the Navy. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it taking care of our furry friends! I have been traveling all over the country the past ten years, taking care of others pets and houses. This includes large lands, with chicken, goats, compost...the whole thing! I also have my own husky mix, and have kept her super happy and healthy. Ive also worked in behavioral health for years, and understand the approach that needs to be taken for both people and animals who have suffered from abuse.
“We went away for 10 days to Portugal, which was the longest we ever have been away from our dogs. Rose made us feel much better with her excellent care. She sent countless updates, pictures, and videos. I can tell my dogs were happy and relaxed. She followed our instructions exactly and left our home exactly how she found it. We will use her again!”
About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.

“Nadine was wonderful with Oreo and Henry. She was very attentive, communicative and provided safety and care to our pets when we were away. Would definitely use her again on the future.”
“Pam is the best! She cared for my high energy dog Rizzo while my wife and I were in the hospital for the birth of our son. Pam gave Rizzo plenty of love and attention, was always on time, communicated proactively with me, and was just super nice/respectful. She put me at ease and allowed me to put Rizzo out of my mind knowing she was well cared for. 10/10 would recommend and book again.”

About: Hi! My name is Shelby. I am a dog owner and a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree in Animal Science on the path of becoming a veterinarian. I am looking to take care of pets of any size. I have experience from all over but the most significant one is my current workplace where I function as a veterinarian technician, so I’m more than confident in my pet handling skills. With that job comes responsibilities like medicating animals, watching and understanding body language, looking out for problematic symptoms, etc. all things I succeed in. At the practice I work at, we deal with dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperament, so do not be too worried if you book with me. With that being said, getting to meet your fabulous pet would be a great pleasure for me not only because I love animals but because it moves me forward in what I strive to become, which is, an understanding and caring doctor of veterinary medicine! I’m currently working full time as a veterinary technician. My schedule is Monday through Friday from 9AM-6PM, with an hour lunch break. I do have the weekends off. I have a fur baby of my own so I know how important it is to make sure whoever takes care of your pet is doing their very best and nothing less of that. I am an active listener so whatever you want me to do it will be done to a tee. Crating, giving medicine, enrichment activities, etc. are all things within my capabilities and even if something isn’t I will be sure to let you know beforehand. I have house sit before so updates on anything will always be given and I will leave your home just as it was. Your home and pet is like another part of you so I would never treat it as less than that.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to blend genuine care with adaptability. I’m attuned to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or shy. I also prioritize clear communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with photos and notes after every visit.
