About: I've had dogs as pets for my entire life. In fact, there hasn't been a time since I was 5 that I haven't had a dog. I've also been a trusted dog sitter for friends and family. Animals are my favorite thing in the world and they bring me so much joy, especially dogs. I've cared for seniors, puppies, and every age in between. I had a senior dog with medical issues so I am no stranger to providing gentle and attentive care. I am also very familiar with puppy care and using positive reinforcement when it comes to training. You will have complete peace of mind with me as your pet's caregiver! I am currently in a graduate program and my schedule is very flexible and open throughout the week. I can do same day services as long as the request has been made within a reasonable time frame. I have reliable transportation. Establishing trust with owners as well as their fur babies is extremely important to a successful and fun experience. As I mentioned before, I have had dogs my entire life and I have been their protector, caregiver and family for their entire life. I will acknowledge and respect any and all specifications and requirements that an owner has.
“Sam was the best! She was able to accommodate my last minute check ins on my two boys. I felt safe letting her into my home. I arrived home to them waiting and they were well taken care of. I 100% recommend and will use her services in the future.”
“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”
“Karyn is just fantastic. She has the training and experience to take care of pets, but more importantly has the most important skill and the one you can’t teach someone; the love. Book Karyn with peace of mind, I promise your pets will appreciate it.”
About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs. I've fostered several pups—one of whom I adopted—and truly understand canine behavior, needs, and comfort. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family in a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work a part-time remote internship with a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I’m available when needed and always prioritize their well-being and comfort. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I keep pets supervised, ensure they have plenty of enrichment, and create cozy spaces for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and routines, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. In both cases, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience and attentiveness.
About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats ranging from extra large dogs to teeny tiny ones I have patience for all kinds of personalities when it comes to animals it's no question I love them! I have taken care of pugs,corgi,great dane,husky, chihuahua and more I will always provide the best service for you while your little friend is with me so no worries they are in good hands. Im available everyday/anytime/anywhere and for however long you need me I am there. I have so much love for these animals. Its second nature to me to protect them amd help them. I have a big yard with a big green house and two huge barn style sheds and plenty of room inside my home as well.
