About: I’ve loved animals my whole life — I’ve had cats and dogs since I was five and spent my summers helping on a family friend’s farm. To say, I am very well versed in the animal world, as I have cared for tortoises, fish, hamsters and all kinds of other babies than just claws and paws! Please to not be afraid to ask! & understand that every animal is different, with their own quirks and needs. I treat each one like my own, with patience, love, and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or calm company, I make sure your pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. Also, just for transparency, I do typically work part-time as a waitress on the weekends. However this is a very flexible schedule and would be more than happy and change it as needed to care for your babies! I have Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays off each week, and I’m looking to fill that time doing something truly rewarding and fun — spending it with animals! Caring for pets isn’t just something I enjoy; it’s something that makes my days brighter. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I love giving animals the care and happiness they deserve. Your pet will always be safe, trusted, and well cared for in my home. I have one friendly outdoor cat who keeps himself busy, and I’m mindful about making sure visiting pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have a large crate that can fit medium to small dogs if needed, along with clean food and water bowls ready to go.

“Shelby is amazing! Our dog loves her. She goes above and beyond! She provides updates, offers extra help, and very reliable.”

About: I’m a biologist and animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I had my first dog at age 7, adopted a reactive dog in my twenties, and currently share my life with an 8-year-old dog—so I truly understand how different every animal can be. For the past 3 years, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family, caring for senior dogs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Because I work remotely and do this full-time, I’m home most of the day and able to offer consistent attention without leaving your pet alone for long periods of time. I adjust my energy to match each dog—happy to be playful with energetic pups, or slow and gentle with seniors and sensitive dogs. When house sitting, I keep routines as consistent as possible, so pets feel safe and secure. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals. I enjoy using enrichment toys and puzzles with my dog as I have seen how helpful mental enrichment can be for keeping dogs calm and happy, so I’m comfortable using these tools. With my background in biology, I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and always approach pets with patience, care, and respect. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. If you give me the opportunity, I’ll do my best to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Lindsay is great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions when needed, sent over lots of pictures and our cats were comfortable with her right away. Recommend!”

About: I've never not had a pet (or five) at home. Primarily cats and dogs, but my brothers were known to bring home a lizard every now and then. I can run and exercise your dog or just love on them and take them outside. I have no problem staying at your house - it's often the best way to make sure your dog is comfortable! I understand the special needs that older dogs and puppies have. I have a wide variety of experience - from my own animals, to other peoples' pets as well as professional animal training experience. I will help you leave your beloved animal in good hands so you can enjoy your time away and return home to a happy pet! I'm currently working freelance and remotely. So I am able to spend most of my time with your animals, and give them as much attention as they need. I have been staying at other poeples' homes to watch their animals for a few years now. I'm very respectful of your home and belongings. I do think it is the best way to make the animals feel comfortable. Even the shy ones have the comfort of "home court advantage", and it helps them warm up faster.

About: I have been babysitting my aunts dog since I was a kid. Her dog is very afraid of everything and I was able to keep her calm and loved. I have also owned three cats in my life and loved them with my whole heart as well. Also, here and there I have babysat a few of my neighbors pets throughout the years. I am a part-time student, so I have a lot of free time to play with your pets! I am free everyday except for monday after 5pm, and I am also available for sleepovers on those days as well!! I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run around and have fun, i can crate animals easily, and i have plenty of windows to make sure they are safe outside.

“Thank you Alexandra for taking my monster out today! I never know how she’s going to act with strangers and I’m so grateful she was receptive and got out and played and went potty while I was at work all day.”

Melissa K.

“Excellent. Will do it again with my eyes closed.”

About: I'm patient, attentive and truly enjoy getting to know each pet's personality so they feel safe and comfortable. I have cared for dogs, cats and small animals through all life stages. I love caring for animals and stay busy with walks, pet visits and 3-5 overnights a week. I am currently accepting new clients and would love to meet you and your pets. I treat your pets like my own. Beyond loved! They are a gift and bring so much joy to life. Pets do well on a routine so whatever their needs are, they will be in caring hands.

“Claudia is great with my cat, he absolutely loves her. I feel very comfortable leaving him knowing I have someone who cares looking after him. She gives great live update along with photos. I've used her a couple of times and will continue to do so.”

Booking early is strongly encouraged. 🏡 What Sets Me Apart: ✅ Personalized Attention: Your pet will be treated like a member of our family, receiving individualized care, walks, cuddles, and playtime.

Daily walks are provided, based on your pet’s needs. I work from home and can provide several potty breaks a day in my large, securely fenced yard. Dogs are separated when unattended, and all animals are separated during feeding times. ✅ Experienced Caretakers: I am a passionate pet lover with over 40 years of experience in handling a variety of animals.

Boarders have their own space in my home, where they can relax in their own bed and have all their favorite things. Requirements: ❤️Pets must be housebroken. Accidents happen, but your pet must be trained to potty outside. ❤️Pets must be up to date on all vaccinations and flea prevention.  ❤️Pets must not have a history of aggression. I am not a trainer, and not able to handle a dog with a history of aggressive reactive behavior. Restrictions: Dogs under 1 year old, unaltered dogs, dogs not current on vaccinations or flea treatments, or dogs over 30 pounds cannot be accommodated at this time. I work from home, and take my two small dogs on two daily walks. Play sessions occur nightly, and occasionally they tag along when we are away from home for more than a few hours. We welcome additional pets to join us! I have a fenced yard, and always monitor any animals in my care, including my two small, friendly dogs, while they are using it. All meal times are monitored, and pets are fed in separate rooms to ensure everyone's safety. While your pet stays with us, I will have their bed/crate/food bowls set up in my home office, so they can have their own space while they are adjusting to our home. They will always have access to the main living area, where there are several dog beds, toys, and water. Our home does have stairs, which can be restricted if your pet has trouble navigating them.
