About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.

Keana has been great! Very easy going and adaptable to my changing work schedule. Sends pictures from her visit and keeps me updated on my dogs mood and behavior. We have used her multiple times now and I will continue to use her in the future.

About: About Me Hi there! My name is Mariah, and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life — caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I currently share my home with my sweet pug, Honey, our curious cat Phoebe, and my 7-year-old son — all of whom adore meeting new furry friends! When your pup stays with us, you can rest assured they’ll feel right at home. Think of it as their very own vacation spot — complete with a large, securely gated yard for playtime, plenty of cuddles, and a loving, family-style environment. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I provide regular photo and message updates to help you feel close to your pup no matter where you are. Whether your dog loves playtime, snuggles, or just a cozy spot to relax, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for like one of my own. 🐾💛 Pet care fits so naturally into my daily life! I work from home, so I’m here all day to give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to the pets I care for. Between my own pug, Honey, and cat, Phoebe, there’s always some fun and furry energy in the house. My 7-year-old son and I love spending time outside, so our large, fenced-in yard gets lots of use for play, potty breaks, and sunshine. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just hanging out, your pup will always have company and care throughout the day. At home, my pets are part of the family! My pug, Honey, and cat, Phoebe, get lots of love, attention, and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m around to keep them on a regular routine with feeding, walks, and plenty of snuggles. They have free roam of the house and love spending time in our large, fenced-in yard for fresh air and playtime. I make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and always feel safe — whether we’re relaxing inside or running around outside.

This is the second time I've booked cat sitting with Sheila and I always arrive home to happy cats! Even our extremely shy cat comes out of hiding to say hello and get some treats & pets from her. Highly recommend.

Shelly did everything I asked her to do. She was great about posting updates each day. I have had sitters in the past who didn’t pay careful attention to instructions and texted me often while I was away. Shelly paid attention and handled this job as a professional. I would definitely hire her again!

About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay

Sherice is a very good sitter, I highly recommend!! She communicates very well with me about how my dogs are doing while she's there. Sherice let's me know if they used the bathroom, played, also if they are acting anxious,excited, or cuddley lol. Sherice is also very prompt, flexible with her & my schedule, & she does very well with my skiddish rescue pitbull. I will be having her drop in on my doggys again!!
