About: I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to care for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppy training and crate schedules to gentle senior care, including administering medications and supporting mobility issues. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my care style to match. I also provide clear updates, photos, and honest communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Bonus? I work from home and have a flexible schedule—so your pets get lots of attention and consistent companionship throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need, whether that’s early morning potty breaks or a calm evening routine. I also build in time for cleaning, updates to pet parents, and making sure everything feels just right—because I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping your pets happy, safe, and stress-free—while respecting your space as if it were my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I create a calm, reassuring environment and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own home. I’m attentive to small details—like refreshing water bowls, tidying up pet areas, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on your pet’s mood and behavior. I provide honest communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in kind, capable hands.
About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!
About: I put 30+ years of pet care experience on here but it’s really more like 45. I’ve been taking care of our family pets since I was 8 years old. I always took care of family and friend’s pets, stayed at their homes when they needed me to watch them or just played with their fur babies so they wouldn’t be alone during the day. I feel a very kindred connection towards dogs and cats (& other animals) and give them as much love and happiness as I can. I’m currently working part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a lot of availability on the weekends and during the day, especially during the summer and spring break. Additionally, I create a schedule so I can work around yours and mine. I have a fenced in yard, but walk my dog daily on a leash when I take him out. He is showered in love and is very well behaved.
About: I am starting a new chapter in life and now choosing to care for and love on your pets in your home! They have the truest hearts!

I am available for pet sitting in your home as well as potty breaks, playtime, and walks. I am very detail oriented so please know your pets will be cared for in the exact manner in which you wish! Your animals will be loved and cared for just as you would.

This is a person who will work with YOUR schedule and will try to make your pets feel safe and secure while you’re not home.”
