About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry baby. 🐶 Whether it’s a daily walk, an overnight stay, or just some extra playtime while you’re away, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care for every pup I meet.🥰 I treat every dog like my own offering plenty of belly rubs, exercise, and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. I can administer medication if needed and always prioritize safety, comfort, and fun. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away your dog will be in caring, capable hands! Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I have 3 sweet pups of my own that I manage daily 💜 I structure my day around the needs of the pets I have and care for whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding and cuddle time. I keep a detailed schedule to ensure all animals get the attention, exercise, and care they need at the right times. Because I prioritize flexibility, I'm able to adapt to each pet’s unique routine whether it's sticking to a strict medication schedule or providing extra playtime for high energy pups! In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and clean environment where they can relax and feel at home. They have access to cozy sleeping areas, supervised playtime, regular walks, and lots of love and attention. I follow their usual feeding, potty, and medication schedules to keep them happy and stress free. Social dogs can enjoy play with others, while more reserved pets get quiet time and one on one care.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover. Growing up I walked the neighborhood dogs and my family had three lively dogs that had a few behavior quirks, so I picked up a lot of skills managing things like resource guarding, pack dynamics, aggression, high-energy escapism, and general dog behavior. Currently, I have a rescue dog who sometimes struggles with anxiety and leash reactivity. I truly adore animals and find them endlessly fascinating; every moment I get to spend with them feels like a special gift, and I believe we can all learn so much from our furry friends. In my spare time I like to paint, draw, read and watch nature documentaries. Currently, I have all the time to care, walk and play with your fuzzy friends. With enough notice I am available all days and hours of the week/weekend. I am very attentive, having grown up with dogs who would often run off. I'll make sure to closely supervise your animals, even in an enclosed space or on a leash. I'm happy to care for any animal as if they were my own.

About: I've been around & cared for cats and dogs all my life. I have privately been pet sitting for 4 families for over 8 years now! I will treat your babies like my own! I make my own schedule so I am available nearly all the time! Very flexible schedule and excited to get to know your sweet animals! I'm caring and patient with animals. I love snuggling the pets that want to be snuggled, but will always respect an animals need for space!

About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, birds, cats, bunnies and even wildlife such as raccoons. I’ve always been a big animal lover. I’m currently a college student just looking to take care of some fur-babies in my free time. I am a college golfer but I do have a lot of free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also willing to make time on weekends. I will treat the dog like it is my own child, I think our pets are more than just animals, they are our family as well.

“April was absolutely WONDERFUL! She took such great care of our feline fur babies. So much so that our youngest, Sushi, who had developed quite a bond with April (and we have the BEST pics to prove it) missed her terribly. Will DEF use her again, and we recommend that you do the same!”


About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and even rodents! I volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary for a few years and during that time I learned a strong understanding of patience and consistency. So when I care for your pet, I’ll approach it with the same level of dedication and compassion that I brought to the sanctuary! I have experience with a variety of animals, including seniors and special needs! I'm currently working short, part-time hours, so I'm quite flexible! I'm especially available during weekdays to help care for your pets while you're away at work! I love to start things slow when I'm introduced to a pet, especially if I'm inside their own home and space! Introducing myself with patience and kindness is something I always go by; the pet's comfort and trust are everything!

About: I personally have two amazing dogs. Best of both worlds with a 70 lb high energy pitbull lap dog and a 30 lb mellow Boston terrier mix lap dog. I’ve grown up with pit bulls, a very misunderstood breed. I have done a 14 week training course with my dogs so I have quite a bit of knowledge with basic training and animal behavior. Ive had both of my dogs sense they were 8 weeks so I have puppy knowledge as well. I also did a 9 month course for veterinary assistance so I have knowledge in animal health. I am currently working every other week so I will have plenty of time of my weeks off and after work to play with your furry friend! I have found plenty of places to walk that dogs seem to love! I am also able to take them to a dog park for a little off leash time! I have two very friendly dogs to also keep your dog happy! I am currently looking to move out of my corporate job and so what I really love, and that is to take care of and spend my day with animals! I have plenty of time in the evening after work to do just that! I am also working bi weekly so on my weeks off I have all day! I have a two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur babies happy! I take my own dogs on plenty of walks throughout the day, so we would just be adding more to our pack. Or if you would like your dog to have a one on one walk I can more then accommodate that! I administer medication to one of my dogs and have taken care of her though two surgeries so I have experience in special needs. Bottom line, when your dog is with me he/she is part of the pack!
