Emma was great with my diabetic cat! She communicated well, and voiced her questions/concerns rather than assuming. My cat also loved her, will definitely be asking her to take care of him again.

About: I’ve had a passion for dogs and animals from a very young age and have spent most of my life around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience through owning, caring for, and training my own dogs while learning the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and building trust with every animal. For the past year, I’ve been working with dogs professionally through dog walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training, and daily care. During that time, I’ve continued developing my skills in canine behavior, leash handling, crate training, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m especially passionate about helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions while making sure they feel safe, exercised, and cared for. My experience as both a lifelong dog owner and a professional pet care provider has taught me that every dog is different and deserves individualized attention, compassion, and understanding. Whether working with puppies, high-energy working breeds, or family pets, I take pride in creating a calm, positive experience for both dogs and their owners. I work from home from 8AM to 5PM. So I have plenty of time in the morning and in the evening for feeding. I also have the freedom of taking breaks to play with your pets regularly. The safety, comfort, and trust of every pet in my care is always my top priority. I work hard to create a calm, structured, and positive environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and cared for like family. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and comfort levels, so I take the time to build trust patiently and respectfully. Whether I’m walking, training, or pet sitting, I focus on maintaining safe handling practices, close supervision, clean spaces, and consistent routines. I pay attention to behavior, stress signals, and each pet’s individual needs to help them feel confident and comfortable while away from their owners. As both a lifelong pet owner and someone who works with animals professionally, I know how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

About: I’ve been working hands-on with animals for over 5 years and am currently a professional dog groomer, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday life — not just a side job. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and comfort. I have special experience with senior dogs and understand how much extra care, gentleness, and awareness they require. My own dog and his brother are both 13 years old, so I’m very familiar with age-related needs like slower mobility, medication anxiety, and knowing when a dog just needs calm companionship instead of high energy. Because of my grooming background, I’m especially attentive to body language, stress signals, and subtle changes in behavior. I’m comfortable with dogs who may be nervous, sensitive, or need a slower, more reassuring approach. Whether your pet is playful or prefers a quiet environment, I adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to provide reliable, loving care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I already work hands-on with animals as a professional dog groomer. Caring for pets before and after work, as well as on days off, is something I’m very used to and genuinely enjoy. My schedule allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely walks or drop-ins, and calm companionship rather than rushed visits. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and preferred activity levels. I’m especially mindful of stress, body language, and comfort—particularly for senior dogs—so pets can settle in and feel secure. I keep a clean space, offer plenty of supervision, and adjust care based on each pet’s personality and needs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, working with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training and routines that owners are already working on at home. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and photos during every visit. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work as a 3rd grade teacher at a private school. During June/July/August I will be home full time since school is not in session and will be able to care for your pets! I will make safety my top priority. I prefer not to keep any aggressive dogs as mine are very friendly and want to play which may make an aggressive animal uncomfortable. Rabies vaccine must be up to date as well as flea and tick prevention if possible to keep all pets safe and healthy.

About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up on a working ranch, which gave me the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets, chickens, goats, sheep, donkeys, and horses.etc. That background taught me how to confidently handle animals with a variety of needs, personalities, and energy levels. I have had all breeds of dogs growing up, but currently, at home, I have two large dogs — a Doberman, a Cane Corso, and a boxer/pocket bully mix — so I’m no stranger to strong breeds, high energy, or big personalities. I understand how to manage powerful dogs calmly and safely. I also have three cats. What sets me apart is my wide-ranging animal experience, my confidence with large and exotic pets, and my professional training. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care while following your instructions closely. Whether you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs, exotic pets, or farm animals, I’m here to offer safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I am currently switched my schedule where I work a lot less and pick what days I want to work, so I can have more time on my off days doing what I love best, caring and loving on animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the home with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions carefully and stick to the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. JUST A HEADS UP! I do require all boarding dogs to come with a crate, for comfort and safety! I understand how important it is to create a safe, stress-free, and trustworthy environment. I’m calm, reliable, and always make sure pets feel seen, heard, and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medications, or just providing company, I handle every task with patience and care. I’m also certified in pet CPR and first aid, which gives added peace of mind in case of an emergency. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and happy while you’re gone.
