“We could not have been more thrilled to have Cynthia take care or Diesel. Because of his age and, tremendous anxiety we were nervous leaving him. Diesel usually goes with us everywhere. We had one day of our own anxiety and then knew he was in great hands! We received so many pictures and updates on how he was eating, sleeping and getting his medications. We will definitely use Cynthia again if we have to go out of town without him or just a day out without worry.”

“TeAsia has done house sitting for us several times now, caring for our 14 year old dog and cat. She does great with our dog that has some mobility limitations. Is very responsive and makes sure to send us photos while we are away! Highly recommend if you are looking for a good sitter.”
“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”
“Aubrey was wonderful staying in my home and caring for my dog and cat. She stayed in touch during our vacation which gave me peace of mind that all was good. I will definitely request Aubrey in the future!”
“Leah and her sister made a great team taking care of my pup! He was so calm and happy when I came back. I was really nervous to leave him, but they put me at ease with their capable caring hands. They spent plenty of time with him and communicated with me late at night and in the morning too. It gave me so much confidence that I actually can spend a weekend away from him if I need to!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.
“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”

I love friendly dogs, old dogs, hyper dogs, small dogs, big dogs, all except MEAN dogs! I give dogs my full undivided attention and treat them as if they are my own.

About: From a young age, I've had a deep passion for animals! 🐾 I always dreamed of having my own little zoo, but my family wasn't quite as enthusiastic about it. I did have the wonderful opportunity to attend vet school during high school, which gave me some valuable experience with medications. I also spent some time working at a vet office! Currently, I share my home with my sweet baby-dog named Leilani and a sassy cat named Selena, so I have a bit of experience with different furry friends. To add, I've even had rabbits as pets growing up! 15 years of bunnies to be exact! Additionally, I work as a pet grooming technician, so if your beloved pet needs a bath or a nail trim, I would be more than happy to help! 🐶🐱🐰✨ I'm working a 2nd job (in the animal business) but I'm usually only working 3 days a week so I have a lot of free time off. I will make sure your home is pet-safe while you are gone! If there is a mess made, I'll make sure to let you know and clean up said mess. If needed, I can crate your pet for a little while. Whatever you need or want me to do for your baby, I'll do my best!
About: Hello! My name is Bethany and I have been caring for animals for my entire life. I even made a career out of it for a decade! Including schooling, I was in the animal care field from 2010 to 2014 and was a registered veterinary technician from 2014 to 2022, after which I pursued other career interests. If your pet has special needs, especially medical, I am equipped with the knowledge and skill to make sure your pet is well taken care of. My prices reflect the loving expertise I will show your pet while caring for them. While I am available and more than happy to look after your pets while you are temporarily away, such as for a vacation/business trip, I am currently unable to provide regular, long term care. If you would like services in addition to those listed here (nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, bathing/brushing, etc) please ask! I am a strong advocate of rescue/adoption, Fear Free techniques, and positive reinforcement training, however my passion lies in helping senior pets with hospice care. My first dog, Chewie, was diagnosed with cancer and I discovered this passion while caring for him in his final year. Currently, I have adopted a rescued puppy mill mama Yorkie named Rey and a Miniature Schanuzer named Wicket. However, I have experience caring for a whole range of animals including cats, rabbits, pocket pets, and exotics. I currently work part time, 5 hours a day, in either the evenings or the mornings, depending on what day of the week it is. While I am available and more than happy to look after your pets while you are temporarily away, such as for a vacation/business trip, I am currently unable to provide regular, long term care. While at a client's house, I prefer to keep to the pet's normal routine as much as possible as disruption can cause stress. So please let me know how you take care of your pets at home, what their daily routine is line, and how they spend their time so I can make sure they can be as stress free as possible while you are away.

Elizabeth L.
“I have known Elizabeth since she was a young child. She has always been such a wonderful person to have in your life and around your animals. She always tried to help any animal that she saw, even animals that seemed threatening. My husband and I had a cat named lancelot who had a bob tail because of a deformity while his mother was pregnant. A lot of people overlooked him but my husband and I did not when we went on a very long vacation, Elizabeth came over every day, called us with updates, and sent pictures. Lancelot passed away a couple of years ago, but he loved her and she loved him and she was just as heartbroken as we were. She has taken care of many other animals I have owned along with my family and our other neighbors in the neighborhood as well. She actually rushed my dog to the vet when she realized that something we had accidentally left out had been swallowed and stayed with him until she knew he was okay and that was well after we had arrived. Honestly if there's any person I would trust with your pet it would be her. She's got such a gentle soul and really can understand how an animal is feeling.”
