About: I’ve always had pets growing up and some would say I prefer animals over people. I’ve been involved in rescue since 2004 and have seen firsthand just how cruel people can be. As a former vet tech, I promise to take care of your babies just like my own. You have nothing to worry about while you’re away. Lots of check ins, photos and love! I do work full time M-F but am available before and after work. Depending on location, a quick trip at lunch to say hi may work too. I’m totally available on weekends. while visiting your home, your kiddos will be safe with me. Whether it’s playing in a fenced yard or on leash, They will get all the exercise they need.

About: I've had dogs all my life and understand the anxiety for parents looking for someone to care for their furbaby while they are away. Pets are family, and they require the same consideration as leaving a child with a care provider. We will be empty nesters this fall and looking for more structure, and would love to provide peace of mind for you while you are away from your pet. Let me ease your concern and provide you with peace of mind. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to ebb and flow as needed. My flexibility translates into the ability to care for your pet in their established environment or drive for a walk in the park if your area is not great for walking and you would prefer that option. While caring for your pet, I will follow your rules and guidelines, continue your training and ask questions to ensure we have clear understanding and my interaction with your pet will put your mind at ease and not cause more stress.

About: I am a proud dog mom of a friendly and energetic 5 year old Yorkie . I have been working with a variety of different breeds of dogs for over 10 years . Every dog is treated like family while in my care . My daily schedule is customized by me . That makes me a great fit for last minute pet care and for fur babies that don’t like being alone . After a night at my house your fur baby will not want to go home . I have a nice big back and front yard , big bed couch for them to lay on and lots of hugs and kisses . My 5 year old yorkie is great with all animals & children . *To provide a peaceful and stress free stay for your pup & us we do have a no continuous barking/howling policy*

About: Having grown up in a house with several animals, I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young. I began pet sitting for friends and neighbors when I was 10, and have been doing so ever since. I have a dog and cat of my own, and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I know how nervous I get when I trust someone else with their care, and I promise to treat, love, and care for your pets as my own, and be the pet-sitter I would want! I have extensive experience with medicating both cats and dogs, as well as caring for animals with special needs and high anxiety. I‘m working from home right now as I’m studying for a career certification exam, so I’m pretty much free throughout the day to take care of your pets whenever is needed! I’m always ready to take your dog for walks, to the park, or to stay at home and play with toys! I know many pets get lonely when their families are away, so I will spend as much time as needed with them to make sure they get attention and love ❤️

About: Ive been taking care of dogs for over 10 years as well as raising a kitten in college. I love spending time with them and making sure theyre taken care of like they are my family and that goes for all animals. Currently working remotely and have plenty of time during the day to take care of your furry companions all day. They will be well taken care of with lots of attention I believe pets do best when theyre in their own environment where they feel safe. I will strive to make sure their daily routine is not interrupted so they have the least amount of stress while you are away from home so you can enjoy your time away and handle what you need to without worrying about your furry family

Kimberley A.
“Kim is a wonderful sitter and walker! She communicates clearly and reassuringly about how my pets are doing (3 dogs, 2 cats) regardless of if she is just booked for one walk or a full boarding. She is clearly so passionate about the care that she gives and the animals that she is trusted with. She takes detailed note of any mentioned instructions and is almost too “by the book” at times with how conscientious and vigilant she is of the things i mention relating to my pets care! Incredibly trust worthy, patient, flexible and reassuring!”

So thankful for Zena. I couldn't have made my trip without her. Very responsible young lady. I felt at ease leaving my fur babies with her. Will use again if her schedule permits.

Elizabeth was great!! She sent multiple pictures and videos of Diesel every day. I knew Diesel would be taken care of and have the best time with her. I would recommend her to everyone!!
