I am willing to follow any directions and trust me no fur baby is too high maintenance. All fur babies are just our fur babies and I will treats yours like my own! I often give medicine too so no need to worry if your baby needs any medicine I can definitely handle that! Feel free to reach out and we can set up a meet and greet!

I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Many times I will let you know when I am at your home and give you an update for each drop in visit. I will send pictures. I will also play fetch or other stimulating games that are available in the home or in the backyard. My focus is to let you know I’m in your home and when I leave. My other focus is let you see your dog/cat so you know they are being well taken care of. The third focus is making sure all requests are being filled such as feeding and medicine and others as requested.

About: I’ve volunteered walking dogs at shelters and worked in a vet hospital, giving me experience with puppies, seniors, and providing loving, attentive, reliable pet care. I’m a college student home for the summer with plenty of free time, so I’m available to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet daily or weekly. I prioritize safety by following your pet’s routine and rules closely. During walks and drop-ins, I create a calm, trusting environment to keep pets comfortable and secure.

“Elizabeth was amazing with my 5 year old golden. She was super sweet and Charlie adored going on walks with her. She was always timely and sent photos at my request to let me know how my big guy was doing. Will be contacting her again in the future if we need the help again!”

About: I have been around a multitude of animals my entire life about a year after I graduated. I started working at a Humane Society at this job. I would administer shots, feed & water, and just take care of the most basic needs possible for animals. During this job, I feel more and more in love with taking care of animals. I am currently looking for a part-time job so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry family members. I am able to do overnight housesitting on weekends if needed or sit at home during weekdays as well. Working at a shelter I know how to safely take your pet for a walk and put them back in their crate if that is needed.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, I provide personalized and loving attention to every pup I care for. I've raised many dogs from puppyhood to senior years, across a variety of breeds, and have developed a deep love and passion for all things canine. I specialize in energetic puppies and offer tailored training to help them thrive. My services include daily walks and drop-in visits, all designed to meet your dog’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to your pet’s well-being, my attention to detail, and my experience with dogs of all temperaments. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in safe, loving hands! As a new mom, I understand how important it is to keep a well-balanced schedule that supports both family and work responsibilities. While caring for my baby and managing our home, I also find time to provide reliable and loving care for your pets through dog walking and drop-in visits. My husband works shift hours, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to dedicate quality time to your pets when they need it most—whether it's a midday walk, a morning drop-in, or some afternoon playtime. I treat every pet I care for like family, and I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your dog is being cared for by someone who is dependable, attentive, and nurturing. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and trust. I understand that pets feel safest in their own environment, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine during each visit. Whether I’m stopping by for a feeding, potty break, playtime, or a walk, I make sure your pet gets the attention, affection, and activity they need while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—from shy pups who need gentle encouragement to high-energy dogs who love an active walk. I also keep things tidy, double-check water and food bowls, and give updates so you always know how your pet is doing in your absence. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands.
