“Adelle, Bosun gave you high 4 paws leap. I had never seen the calm dog channel. What is it called in the Guide? Give me a call when you have a chance. The tip connection is not working. Thanks, George”

About: I've have grown up taking care of cats and dogs from a young age. In high school, my education focus was in animal science, where I shadowed multiple veterinary offices. In college, I took several semesters of pre-vet courses before I switched majors. I entered the pet sitting business to help out family and friends when on vacations. I am able to work on training puppies as I have crate trained and obedience trained my own, as well as administer medications for pets old and young. I have even owned and cared for senior pets with varying medical needs. I currently work a full-time job Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM during the week so you can expect your pets will be cared for and played with early in the day for at least an hour. When I return home care and play time will last until I go to sleep around 9-10PM. My weekends are typically wide open and so pets will have opportunities to cuddle,play, and relax all day. My property has a large yard that dogs can play in, along with a pond, and trails for those who like to hike and explore. Indoors I have a large house with a friendly dog to keep your dog company when I'm away. I am able to crate or contain your dog to one area if needed. I also have two cats that are present in the home but can be kept separate from the dogs if needed. I have adequate space to allow for pets needing a playful and/or a quiet environment. I always make sure to build trust with the pets I care for so they are comfortable with me. All areas the pets are allowed to go will be pet proof to ensure the utmost safety.

About: I have had pets for as far back as I can remember. Growing up, we always had dogs. However, over the past 5 years, I have discovered that I am a crazy cat lady. Luckily, there is room in my heart for every kind of animal. From snakes to capybaras, I love them all! Currently, I have availability weekdays after 4 and open availability on weekends. I am open to all types of pets and services. I would prefer at least a one day notice. However, I do accept same-day bookings. I am a very trustworthy woman with good morals and integrity. I will respect your home and pets as my own. I have a small suv to transport pets to the dog park and wherever may be desired. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once and for long distances.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I can’t imagine life without them! My family has had everything from Great Danes to 2lb Yorkies. I currently have a Great Pyrenees Chocolate Lab puppy under a year old. I’m experienced in senior care and special needs/medication giving. I’ve given pills and liquid medications. I have even assisted with under the skin medication administration. I’ve had an old baby that I had to prepare special food for due to kidney failure requiring a special diet. I’ve had a deaf and partially blind weenie dog. My family dog passed away at 17 years old and was deaf, blind, and required special care. I took in a 15 year old pup with cancer and heart failure that required close monitoring, medications, and special care. I had a pitbull who had a trauma issue and separation anxiety that required special care. All of this to say, I’m not one to shy away from any furbaby! Special needs, senior care, small breed, big breed, I will work with you on whatever you and your furbabies need! I also have two cats myself and am willing to watch cats.

About: I pride myself on going far beyond the bare minimum. I’m detail-oriented and take notes during the initial meeting, so I know EXACTLY how to take care of your fur-baby! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and even cattle, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. My goal is to give your pets the same level of attention and love they’d get from you, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my life, and I build my schedule around making sure animals get the attention they need.

I’m also available most weekends, and I don’t mind spending my days off keeping your pets happy and cared for. Whether it’s early mornings or late nights, , I’m committed to fitting their needs into my routine.

I’m flexible with my schedule—whether that means staying overnight or making visits at specific times of day to match their needs. I’m experienced with giving medicine, caring for both energetic young pets and seniors who need extra patience, and making sure they get the right amount of exercise. I also handle cleanup, from litter boxes to accidents, so your home stays tidy while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for, just as if you were there yourself.

“It is a pleasure to be able to recommend this young lady! I never had human children and therefore my dogs are like my children! I am very protective of them and therefore very picky about the person I leave to care for them. Olivia has on many occasion sit with our pets and we were extremely pleased with the care she gave. She also, at times did overnight stays as well. We found her to be highly responsible and caring. Thank you Tammie O.”


Amber P.
“Amber is so good with our cat, Ryan and dog Bristol. Bristol is almost 11 and needs a little more gentle love and Amber is so great with her! Ryan is only 1 so he is a furry ball of playfulness. Amber keeps up with him like its nothing. They both adore her!!”


Sebastian S.
“I have known Sebastian for six years and I can say he loves animals. Since I have known him, I have seen him care for his beloved pet and others as well. His dog was a senior citizen and I watched him do anything he could to make her life wonderful. Having an older dog comes with a lot of responsibilities when it comes to their care. So you can trust that he will know how to handle any extra attention your pet might need. He lavished his pup with affection and even carried her around in a sling! So know he will give your pet all the love it needs. I would recomend him to any friend or family member as someone who I could trust to go above and beyond to care for my pet.”
