“Meredith did a great job with our senior dogs. One of our dogs requires twice daily injections. She was very thorough and took the time to understand the best method for delivering the medication.”


“Carolyn was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute pet sitter to stop in and let my two pups outside during some long work days. She was always on time, an excellent communicator, and my pups loved her. I definitely recommend her services!”


“Gabriela did a fantastic job with our senior cat while we were away. Our cat is very sensitive and we were worried about leaving him but returned home to find him well cared for and very content. Gabriela kept us feeling at ease with daily updates and was easy to communicate with from the start. We had an excellent experience with Gabriela and absolutely recommend her!”


About: I treat every dog like they are my own. Daily updates with photos, videos,and/or messages. Playtime, basic training reinforcement, medication administration, and light grooming/brushing-all included at no extra charge I currently work part-time and structure my day around the needs of the pets in my care. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead for pet’s routine and maintain regular communication with owners My top priorities are comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure you pet feels relax by keeping their environment as normal and consistent as possible.

“Tim was outstanding!! He was on time, had exceptional communication, and made sure to give my guy the extra love and attention he deserves!! I will exclusively be using him for any future services that I book!! 10/10!”


About: I have grown up caring for cats. And would love the opportunity to help take care of part of your family. Please let me know if you have any specific suggestions to help best take care of your kitty. I am a stay at home mom that is very experienced in multi tasking and juggling a big load when needed. I believe that animals deserve all the love, care, and respect. I am happy to fallow any personal instruction you have to your pet. I believe that your pet is part of the family. They deserve all the love and attention. I would love to take your pet out on walks, play time, and belly rubs.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I currently work full time. I don’t work Mondays so I would be perfect for a long weekend. I work longer days so I am open to being available for any dog but I leave home early in the morning and I return in the evening. Weekends allow for the most availability for me (with the addition of Mondays) I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!

About: I have grown up with high-energy dogs my whole life. My family always had English Springer Spaniels and I eventually had my own Weimaraner (sadly no longer with me). I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes, ages, and sizes. I can provide walk, play time, or something a little more adventurous (ask my last dog about backcountry skiing with my in Colorado ha). Also, boarding and drop-in visits. I currently am working part time while I prepare for law school in '26. I generally have pretty open availability. I can travel to your home area as well. My apartment complex has it's own fenced in walking trail. There is also plenty of walking opportunity around the lake trails. There is no other dog in my care that your pet would need to be adjusted to.

About: Let’s Get Those Paws Moving! Caring for many pets at a time. Lots of care into making into creating a safe and welcoming environment for your pets. Always willing to work with and build bonds with shy or nervous animals. I am free whenever! Looking to start a savings for my trip to Europe come fall. I am willing to build my schedule around pet care needs! I believe attention to detail is the key to creating safe spaces for animals. Watching body language and picking up on queues to make sure the animal is comfortable. I enjoy getting to know each individual pet and cater to there wants and needs and of course giving them extra love when their parents are away from home.

“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”



“LeAnn was very friendly and conscientious with our two cats. She came over before we left to meet them, go over the instructions, and understand where everything is and what needed to be done while we were gone. She spent enough time to play with both cats and give them some much-needed attention. We appreciated her pictures and updates on how the cats were doing. Both of them were comfortable with Leann and were very friendly with her. We are very happy with how she did and plan to use Leann again in the future as our primary cat-care person.”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and some fishy friends as well. I’ve only done drop in visits for four-legged friends, but would love to take care of more! I also have a lot of experience with taking care of small aquarium fish (ex. vacuuming their tank, changing their filter, etc). as well! I currently am working a part time job, and my shifts vary weekly. I’m always available after 6:30 P.M. on weekdays and almost always available all day on weekends. While I’m currently only offering drop in visits, making sure your companion is safe and comfortable with me is most important. I make sure to always thoroughly watch over your friends and watch their body language.

About: I've had a dog in my household for around 15 of my current 20 year long life, and in this time, I have been responsible for a dog for around 10 years of my life. I have grown up around large and small dogs, and understand the nuances required for the care of each. I typically take my own dog on a walk every day, and make sure that her food and water bowls are filled (she doesn't eat a lot, so we typically just make sure she always has food). I am also the one who brushes her coat out every spring. I give my client's pets as much attention as they want, while ensuring my client's instructions are followed to the letter. I always make sure to leave a place as I found it.

About: I've had dogs my entire life; have helped walk, feed, and bath dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was 13. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I currently work flexible jobs that allow me to be free during the day and evening hours to help take care of your animals. I am available to drop in and take your dog on a walk, or give your dog a bath if needed while I'm there. I will follow your instructions on how to best care for your dog while I am with them. I can easily help you out by playing with your dog to get them some exercise.
