About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds), and bike cart rides for the senior pups are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 12-3:30 I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I am working at a school 12-3:30, and going to school online. I recently moved my senior dog up here, but I am missing all the adventures we used to go on! Caring for your pets gives me the chance to go where he can't. I do not offer boarding. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.

“I would totally recommend Thomas to be responsible with your pet and your home when you are gone for an extended period and need someone to check in and let your dog out.I knew Thomas from seeing him in town with his Ibizan hound along with other dogs in his care. He was great at handling the dogs on a busy street and always chatting with people who stop to ask about his unusual dog. Thomas followed the many instructions about food and medication I left everywhere and sent videos and photos of a happy dog. My dog did not seem particularly excited when I came home which means he was well exercised and not anxious that I had been gone.”
About: As a lifelong cat lover and parent, I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs, whether they're playful, shy, or a bit of a diva. With years of experience caring for cats, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each kitty’s preferences. From feeding, litter box maintenance and medicating, to snuggles, playtime, and understanding special needs, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Trust me to keep your cat happy, healthy, and purring until you're back! I work from home as a graphic designer so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your kitties. I would rather hang out with cats than most people so it works for me :) When caring for pets in your home, safety is my top priority. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding your home and pet’s routine, and I always double-check that doors and windows are secure before leaving. Trust is key, so I maintain open communication with regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. I also strive to keep the environment as comfortable and familiar as possible for your pet, ensuring they stick to their usual routine and feel safe in their home surroundings.
“Alexis was wonderful with Finn! He tends to be shy but I was so happy he came out each time she visited! Alexis sent pics and updates and I felt very relaxed while I was away knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend Alexis!!”
“Sophie managed her dog Blue & cat Zdugar Ray very well. I left her lots of notes. k she was diligent about all of them- even playing with him with the boring stick toy he lives. I rarely need sitters, it had an emergency doctor's appointment in NYC.”
“We had a great experience with Abigail! She was friendly, communicative, and took care of everything we needed. She patiently won over our shy kitty and gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. We're grateful for Abigail's help and recommend her to anyone needing some cat-sitting in the area!”
About: I have had a variety of dog personalities so far in my life that I have cared for, through personal pets as well as connections through networking and friendships. Pets tend to be my comfort, no matter the level. I’m currently working as well as continuing my education, so time with your pets will be my own form of self care and routine! Spending time with animals has always been something I have enjoyed at times more than people in my day to day. While in your home, the tasks are asked of in regards to service will be the primary goal, along with checking the emotional/physical state of your pet (visually) and sending a message or leaving a note if applicable.

Shanna G.
“Furever Care was referred to us last year after needing an overnight dog sitter as my son was getting married out of town. When we met Shanna, I just had that "gut feeling" that she was going to be perfect for our two dogs. One a lovable chocolate lab and the other a rescue mix from Mississippi who was still very terrified of people from whatever he endured in his first months of being a stray puppy with his siblings. :( She was very calm, patient and gentle with both dogs. While we were out of town, she emailed me updates and pictures as to how they were doing, what they were doing and how they were all getting along. I was able to enjoy my son's wedding without having to worry or stress about how our dogs were doing. I felt completely relaxed. My daughter is getting married at the end of September and Furever Care will be here again! Shanna is awesome!!!”
Tanya E.

Elishamaria R.
“Elishamaria has always been attentive to what's going on with my pets and made sure they were feed, watered and even medicated when needed on time. They love playing ball or even just lying at her feet. I love the fact I don't have to worry about then when I'm gone because she gives me regular updates and isn't afraid to ask questions when she thinks something is wrong with my dogs. Plus I always come home to a clean house and happy dogs She has even been kind enough to feed my horses & cows occasionally. I would recommend her for anytime. She's is a kind and amazing person and my fur babies love her”
