About: Hi, I’m Britnee! I’ve loved animals my entire life—I grew up surrounded by pets and can’t imagine life without them. I currently have a 5.5-year-old Golden Retriever and a spunky tuxedo cat named Kitty, so I know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring when you need help with your furry family members. I’m happy to assist with dog walks, feedings, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs. I look forward to meeting your pup (or kitty!) soon! I work full time, but I’m happy to offer walks, feedings, and snuggles that fit into my morning or evening routine. Whether it’s a breakfast visit, a dinner drop-in, or some evening playtime, I’m flexible and committed to giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. I truly look forward to spending time with them! Loving on animals like they are my own is my secret skill! Whether that’s tug in the yard, a walk around the block or quiet snuggles on the couch - you can assure your pet is in loving hands.

“Pam provides excellent service for pet sitting. I’ve used her to take care of my two cats. She takes the time to sit with them and give them the attention they’ve been missing while I’m gone.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Growing up, I had two dogs, two cats and a hamster. Additionally, I would dog sit for neighbors. I’ve been around puppies, administered medication and I love walking! I have plenty of time to take care of your pups as I am working part-time at the moment! I am available everyday and willing to adjust my schedule. I am quite experienced with dogs and I have to confidence to care for them in any way you want. If there are special circumstances I will 100% honor them!
About: All my life I have had multiple pets so I know what are their needs and desires and I have lots of energy and great communication skills to make their experience with me perfect. Your doggy is returned smiling ))) My brother and I both work from home and take care of our elderly mother so my schedule is super flexible and days of the week or holidays do not matter. I offer any type of service necessary and I give complete attention to the animal as if he/she is part of the family. Your furry baby is safe with me❤️❤️❤️
