“Carlea is amazing! My two cats connected with her instantly giving me peace of mind during my travels! I will use her to take care of the cats over and over as long as she is available!! Thank you so much!”

About: Hello! I have been volunteering for a local shelter for over five years taking in an array of cats and dogs of all ages. I have fostered over 100 dogs and 200 cats. I have a fenced in back yard and let the dogs out and spend most of the time outdoors. We have a dog, cat, and my daughter. Someone is always home so we don’t have to crate (unless necessary) any animal. I would love to open my home to you or get to know yours! Someone is always home so your dog/cat will always have someone there for you. I will give your animal 100% of my care and attention while they are in our home. In my home I am able to be in the same room with with the dog in care. My dog sleeps in our bed so I am around animals constantly. There’s a fenced in back yard so when outside my dog is always with me as well. If I go to a clients home we will be just as attentive and respectful in this home. Whatever they need/ special diets / any special accommodations will be met (able to admitted meds or special foods /diets).

I myself have two dogs that are very friendly and love to play together. My neighbors have 2 dogs who are also super friends and love to play as well. I live on a farm so I’m surround by animals. When I go to take care of someone else’s animals I also like well laid out instructions on how you take care of your pet just so I can to it the same way and not Change or mess up a routine. I love the animals I take care of as if they were my own, and will most definitely fall in love with them!

About: I have been caring for people's furry (and sometimes not furry) babies regularly for the past 8 years. I have cared for dogs and cats, who have needed medicine and who have not, and who have needed extra special care and attention around walks. Most of my experience is around short and long-term overnights/stays, but can come for just walks or other shorter term care as well. I mainly work remotely and have a flexible schedule right now, so I am often available for last minute requests in addition to in-advance ones. In general, I work best with clear instructions. If you outline what you're looking for and what you're needing to best support your fur babies, I will make sure those things happen!
About: I started taking care of neighborhood animals when I was 12 years old and continued down this path of animal care and rescue into my adulthood. I took care of a childhood dog for 16 years of my life before rescuing three of my own as an adult. All three of my rescues have their own unique behavioral issues. One I cannot have around small children from trauma inflicted on her by them. My other cannot regulate her emotions when she gets overstimulated, and my youngest is a deaf and mostly blind double merle! I have taken care of my own pets, taken care of countless neighborhood pets, and I have also worked on a horse farm where I was trusted to take care of the horses, donkeys, and pigs. My passion is taking care of animals. My empathy for them is great and its my goal to make sure that even the saddest animals have a full life and find happiness. I also like to make sure that when they are missing their families I can make them as happy, loved and cared for as possible until their families return. I currently work full time and have Mornings, Evenings and Weekends free with flexibility to take time off throughout the day to care for animals who need more frequent attention. Unfortunately, due to my own three rescue dogs at home I will not be able to take pets back to my house for care at this time.

Emma C.
“Last year both of my dogs, Daisy and Drama, came down with a terrible case of fleas. I treated them, bombed the house, treated the yard, everything I could think of but nothing worked. When I told Emma she inquired about what remedies I had tried, sympathized and offered further suggestions that worked in her experiences. The next day Emma knocked on my door. She had purchased a very pricey flea medication for both Daisy and Drama. She helped me apply it to both of my pups and made sure I understood all the instructions. She would not accept the payment for the treatment simply telling me “as long as their happy (Daisy and Drama) I’m happy.” Within a couple days both my pups and my house were free of fleas! I’ve never met anyone that cares for animals and their people as much as Emma does. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for my girls and I.”
