About: I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to care for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppy training and crate schedules to gentle senior care, including administering medications and supporting mobility issues. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my care style to match. I also provide clear updates, photos, and honest communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Bonus? I work from home and have a flexible schedule—so your pets get lots of attention and consistent companionship throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need, whether that’s early morning potty breaks or a calm evening routine. I also build in time for cleaning, updates to pet parents, and making sure everything feels just right—because I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping your pets happy, safe, and stress-free—while respecting your space as if it were my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I create a calm, reassuring environment and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own home. I’m attentive to small details—like refreshing water bowls, tidying up pet areas, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on your pet’s mood and behavior. I provide honest communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in kind, capable hands.
About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!

I am available all days of the week, including the weekends. My time schedule is flexible and I would also be able to do drop in visits or stay overnight as well.

Zachariah Z.
“To whom it may concern, I have never seen someone as passionate about dogs as Zachariah. My family was misinformed about my dog's breed for 11 years, and within minutes he correctly identified the breed. He started to express different character traits of the breed. The characteristics were shockingly true about my dog. He does his research to make sure he can understand everything about dogs from their instincts, character traits, looks, and proper treatment. Zachariah is the type of person that will see a dog, and his face will completely light up. He loves to take time out of his day to go up to owners to compliment their dog. He loves all dogs, and believes that they are all unique and lovable. He has stated to me that his favorite work experience was working at Camp Bow Wow, a doggy day care, due to the fact that each day he got to play and interact with dogs. It was the highlight of his day. Zachariah has three dogs as of now. His favorite activities are to run around the house chasing them, going on walks with them, and having them cuddle up on the couch with him. He had multiple dogs that he grew up with as well. He loves all of his dogs-past and present. He finds the most comfort being with dogs. Zachariah is purely passionate and knowledgeable about canines. He is trustworthy and responsible. He will be a great candidate for you. He wants to take on the opportunity to watch your dogs, and he wants to grow to love them. There's no such thing to him as not enough love to go around for dogs.”
Audrey S.
“Audrey is such a responsible care taker of our German Shepard and little Pittie. They loved her so much! We welcome anytime she can care for our dogs again.”
Katie R.
“Loved working with Katie. She made the process easy and made us feel comfortable leaving her with our pup. Thanks Katie!!”
