“Nicole was so wonderful with all our 5 dogs. She truly goes above and beyond in keeping the area tidy, and we could tell that she truly cares for our dogs. She also utilizes feedback well and is such a team player! We loved her many daily photos, and it was so nice to know our dogs were in such caring and capable hands!”



“Jessica provided excellent care during drop-in visits for my senior kitty. She's a great communicator, took lots of pics and was willing to go the extra mile when there was a small issue. My kitty seemed very happy when I got home. Five stars all around and highly recommend. Thanks, Jessica!”


About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have 2 labs of my own! I am comfortable taking care of any dogs, puppies to seniors. I work full time for our local school district and I'm off all summer until the middle of August. I have open availability every day from 7am until 9pm. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time. However, I am available for check ins and walks as many times a day as your pet needs.

“My two boys loved their visit from Ashley! She was very processing when she came to meet the dogs and she did a very good job with their visit and was very punctual for the appoint. Would definitely recommend her and use her again ?”


About: I have taken care of animals, nearly my whole life. I have a wide variety of skills I bring to the table like walking, giving medications, bathing, etc. Your fur baby will be in good hands with me. I have lots of experience, caring for house pets like dogs and cats, as well as exotic pets such as rats and ferrets. I’m able to give injections, oral medications, and specialized care unique to your baby. I am currently in nursing school, so I have a regular 9-5 every Monday through Friday. Plenty of time to care for your sweet fur babies! My goal is to make sure your pet stays safe and sound throughout the day whether I am walking them on a leash, keeping them fenced in the yard, or simply making sure they’re happy and cozy.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. We had small dogs and large dogs that had strict training schedules, so I have experience. I also have trained my dog from a puppy! I am available anytime! Just message me and I will be happy to be flexible with your schedules. Even if it’s last minute, don’t hesitate to ask! I have a very friendly large dog that can come along if you want a playmate for your dog! Your dogs happiness and health are my number one priority

About: I have had both dogs and cats as young as six years old and took care of all of them. I understand the requirements and exprectations for animal care. I have experience with mostly bigger dogs but also have a few years experience with smaller dogs. I also have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. Including that, I have experience with special needs dogs such as blind, deaf, diabetic, and/or epileptic dogs. I hope I can be the person you can trust with your pet(s) to make your life a little easier. I have a very open schedule and can easily work around your needs and expectations. This also includes weekends, holidays, trips, etc. I can work with you! I have always had a fenced yard for my dogs and like to take them to the park so they get a chance to run around. My cats have their own cat trees, they have a window cage so they can get fresh air without getting outside. I also clean their litter box everyday to ensure that they are comfortable and it keeps the smell under control. All of my pets have an automatic water feeder so that they have access to water at all times. They get fed twice a day, morning and evening, and they get a treat midday.

“Bridget is amazing. She is so kind and caring and you can tell she really loves animals and takes pride in what she does. So happy to have her care for our puppy.”


“Brianna has continued to do an outstanding job of caring for my cat. She has spent extra time giving her love or play time periodically and has helpfully collected mail, packages, and put out the trash for pickup. She responds very quickly to messages and is very considerate in communicating any short, unexpected delays in to the house due to road construction, etc. Brianna was also very accommodating when I had to extend my trip an extra day.”


About: I had a German Shepherd for 14 years. Best friend I ever had. Loyal, protective, never argued or talked back and were always happy to see me! I am retired and make my own schedule. Mornings or evenings. Love dogs. Enjoy walking. They give me joy and serenity and I totally enjoy it. I have a mostly fenced in yard at this point but believe I can seal it off if necessary. Follow instructions to the point and respect property of others and am responsible.

About: Although I’ve never been paid to care for an animal, I assure that I’m well aware of how to take care of puppies to elderly dogs. I have two little fur balls of my own, they are brother and sister and I’ve been lucky to have had them since they were puppies. They both are truly bonded and I cannot imagine not having them around. I also have had bunnies that I adored so much. I never used to like reptiles until my boyfriend’s bearded dragon. He is absolutely adorable and I love love love when I come over and I can see him! It brings me joy getting to know all sorts of different pets and how similar they are to people. I do love all pets but a dog has always been my favorite animal out of them all. I love how they’re never like the other and the love they give without wanting anything in return. At any function or family event, if there’s a dog, I’m more than likely going to be around him/her all day lol. I'm always so happy when I see dogs come into my work, they truly make my day. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted a dog to call my own, a dog I could have adventures with, a dog who I could spoil endlessly, a dog to call my best friend and be there every step of the way. I am 22 and am waiting to get a house when I am ready, so for now I’d love to help out you and your fur baby until that time! Since I am currently working part time I thought this was the chance to make some money doing something I love, taking care of dogs! My schedule is not consistent but I normally work 3 days a week. My calendar will always be up to date so you know my availability! If you have any questions, always feel free to ask! Thank you;) When it comes to anyone’s animal, I will always treat them like my own. I will always be paying attention to what they do and how they react in situations so nothing happens. Takings walks, giving meals/medicine, cleaning up after them, making sure they aren’t in any danger, looking after them at all times, and being able to keep them comfortable with me is always going to be my priority.

“Judith was fantastic! I was so comfortable leaving my anxious pup with her. She traveled out of her normal radius to do the check-ins and she was extremely patient and kind. She has great experience and it’s obvious she cares for and loves animals! She kept me updated and her reports were detailed with lots of pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic caregiver for fur babies:)”


“Brenda took excellent care of my two kittens, providing daily pics and even bringing them new toys while I was on a 10 day trip. Highly recommended!”

About: I am a passion dog lover. I have had multiple dogs in my life since I was 7 years old. I have had a 90LB German Shepard, been involved with 3 different Dachsunds and currently have a lab/boxer. Many friends and family members count on me to watch their dog or board them during their vacations. I believe in exercising dogs and taking them to a dog park, recreational park, creeks to swim or walks around the block. NO size, breed or temperament I cannot adjust to but I have a partnership with my dog to make your paw pal have the best experience possibles...Maddox is great with other dogs and becomes instant buddies with any he is around and has a lot of fun and energy to share
