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.
“Megan has been wonderful!! We just adopted our new puppy and she has been great with walking him everyday for us. She sends daily reports and we love seeing the pictures she takes. Always so responsive and takes exceptional care of our new family member. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area that is looking for someone to care for your dog just as you would.”
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!

“My Labrador, Martha, adores Eddie. He’s been helping me with dog walking after I fractured my ankle. Eddie is great with communication and a cheerful, pleasant young man. I am very grateful for his help. I plan to continue the service after my ankle heals because seeing Eddie makes Martha so happy!”
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I've taken care of pets of all ages, from young to senior. 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. By following owner specific instructions when given, I strive to make both the pet(s), and thus the owner, feel safe while under my current care.
“FIVE STARS - WOULD RECOMMEND! Angela loved and cared for our dog while we were away. The report cards were detailed and included multiple photos each day, which warmmed our hearts while we missed him more each day! When I say she cared for him, I mean she actually CARED! When he wasn't eating his dinner, she tried multiple efforts and then notified me of it. We were able to communicate and remedy it! She also took into consideration the temperature of each individual day, and what would be an appropriate time outdoors for MY individual dog breed and personality. She got to know his likes and dislikes, and played with him with his toys. I will be hiring her again! ?”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs.

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. They have ranged from small to large! I may not have professional experience taking care of dogs and cats but my personal experience is extensive. My pets have always come first so I will always put yours first as well. Your pets will become mine in that short amount of time I get to be with them. I will be available at nights starting at 5pm. If you would like me to spend the night with your pets I am very willing to! I know pets get lonely and miss snuggles just as much as their human owners do. I am also available to take care of your lizards and rodents if you have any. I have one of my own (bearded dragon) and am willing to help with them as well! I am a teacher. During the school year I have limited time to help out but any overnight drop ins I can help you out! During the summer, I have MUCH more availability! I can do afternoons and nights. I am a pet parent myself so I am always cautious. I make sure to keep an eye on everything happening in the home. Outside or inside.
“Excellent communication, caring and responsible. Ellie took to both Haley and Alex right away. We are repeat customers right from the start. We will definitely use them in the future for drop ins, walks and future house sitting engagements.”
