About: I’ve grown up around and been taking care of dogs since I was born! I love all dogs, especially goldens and bully breeds. I have experience cat sitting for family friends as well, and would be happy to provide your babies with the best care I’m currently working a part time job at a concert venue, so I have plenty of day time availability to take care of your pets. I typically have 1-3 shifts a week and a flexible schedule! I’m experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. I can administer medications or just provide overall attention and play time. I’m a great communicator and attentive to detail, and strive to make sure your animals are receiving the best care they need. I’m also just a huge animal person excited to give your babies some love while you’re away.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages, including senior dogs and those needing a little extra TLC. I work from home and love sending daily pictures for overnight boarders to put your mind at ease so you can enjoy time away. I treat every pet like my own—and I’d be honored to care for yours! I WFH and am very fortunate to have lots of flexibility in my daily/weekly schedule, allowing me to adapt to fit your pet care needs as needed! We have a safe, quiet, clean, child-free, and pet-free home. We are fortunate to live on a walking trail and near several parks to bring dogs to enjoy. We have a fenced in patio for safe outside time in between walks. Pets are treated with love like family!

We look forward to having Mariah visit again soon! Thanks so much again Mariah!”

I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities.

Amrita was an amazing sitter. Our two dogs (chocolate lab & chihuahua) can be a handful, and she took great care of them during her drop-in. She followed all dog and house requests, was punctual, and communicated with us the entire time. We look forward to her watching our boys overnight in a few weeks.
