About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, taking full responsibility for both dogs and cats in my own home. Over the years, I’ve expanded my experience by pet-sitting for a variety of animals including fish and birds. I understand that every pet—and every family—has unique needs, and I pride myself on being flexible, dependable, and attentive. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful pup, providing gentle care for a senior cat, or just making sure your fish get fed right on time, I’m here to help with compassion and consistency. This summer, I’m taking a break from school and formal work, which means I have full availability—every day, all day! Pet care is my top priority right now, so whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here and ready. Just let me know the dates, and I’ll be there to care for your furry friend like they’re my own. I provide care exclusively in your home to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to maintain not only your pet’s routine, but also the cleanliness and security of your home. I treat every space with respect and care, leaving things just as I found them—or better. My goal is to create peace of mind for both you and your furry family member.

“Tara is phenomenal! She was so timely in her communication, flexible with changes, and kept us updated with pictures of Hamilton along the way! We are so grateful to have such a kind and trustworthy person walking our dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking.”


About: I have many years of pet care experience! I have taken care of pets for family members and neighbors as far back as I can remember. Growing up, my aunt and uncle owned an animal store- and I was there every weekend for multiple summers to help care for the animals and tend to their needs! I’m currently a part time student online and a stay at home dad! So pet care/dog walks/check ins fit perfectly into my current schedule. School work and being a parent may make certain times of day more difficult than others, but nothing that should ever be an issue! :) I definitely have plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve! I will follow all instructions for the pets given to me and give care to the standard expected by the client. I will care for and treat the pets like my own!

About: Hi! I’m Emily and I have the best job in the world! I work with humans and dogs to create a strong foundation built on trust, guidance, respect, and leadership. Backstory: I mentored with a veterinarian through high school, and I was so blessed to get incredible hands on skills medically caring for dogs and cats (and even some hamsters and birds)! Due to this, I’m very comfortable with the often not-so-pretty side to dirty messes and medical needs. If you have a pet with special needs, let’s chat about how we can keep them the most comfortable and cared for in my home! I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies before moving overseas. There, I ran an animal rescue, overseeing the care and fostering of about 100 cats and dogs at a time, many of which I helped foster. Once stateside, I decided to continue working with animals and add in “human” training. I began training basic obedience and correcting behaviors for puppy and adult dogs, and I also worked with psychiatric service dogs. Throughout this, most owners I spoke with felt THEY were the ones lacking knowledge, and so I’ve adapted my training and care to the needs of ALL family members. Turns out, my degree wasn’t for nothing ;) About our family: I have a baby girl, two wonderful stepsons, three dogs, and three kitties that make our family wild and so lovely. We are an outdoorsy family, and we all take part in the care of the animals. Our kiddos have grown up learning to respect pets’ boundaries, and we are well versed in the proper introduction for the safety of all. I can’t wait to hear about your family and how we can best serve your pet care and training needs! I work from home, so I’m available during the day to accommodate your needs. Please, look in advance for weekend and holiday availability, too, as we try to help others with their pet care needs during busy times when we know we’ll be around! I have a vinyl fenced in yard. My dogs are crate trained, and I typically crate dogs overnight who are comfortable with it for their safety and to keep them out of trouble!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including my own pups and those of family, friends, and clients. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering medications, crate training, and providing enrichment through play and exercise. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and those with special needs. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and loved while you're away. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks, and I can accommodate overnight stays or extended check-ins as needed. My part-time hours give me the ability to prioritize your pet’s routine and comfort while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays, I can create a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I always follow any specific instructions you provide. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful environment and make sure your pet feels secure and loved in their familiar space. I also prioritize clear communication and send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was in high school and have experience in cats and dogs. Although I love cats, I'm currently only looking for dog-walking gigs. Most recently, I've dog-sat a blind and energetic lab for six weeks. While it was a challenge, I loved getting to know the dog and learning his style. My days are free and so is my schedule. While I prefer walks on week day afternoons and weekends, I can also do week day mornings. Pet safety is of the utmost importance in my pet care. While on walks, I keep dogs on a leash to ensure they don't run into something unsafe and don't become lost. I also stay aware of my surroundings in case something unexpected happens.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 25 years. I have taken my dogs to obedience school when they were pups. My dogs are gentle and get along with other dogs. I do work day shift and preparing to retire. I would love to care for your dog in my home when you have a get away planned. I have a fenced back yard. One third of the yard is made into a dog kennel. There is access to the garage to get out of the weather. They have almost 1/8 to 1/4th of my garage. I would love for your fur baby to come stay at my home.

“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

About: My family has always had dogs growing up and I have taken care of family and friends pets while they’re away. They have trusted me to walk, feed and play with their animals. Growing up, my family had a bull mastiff, so I have plenty of experience dealing with large dogs. I now have 2 energetic puppies and know how to deal with high energy dogs. I love to walk my two dogs, so I have plenty of experience walking more than 1 dog at a time. I also have experience taking care of cats! I currently only have sports in the evening, so I am able to spend all day playing and taking care of your dogs. Also, as the days get hotter, I am able to get up early and take your dog out before it is too hot outside to ensure that your animal has the best walk. I am available 7 days a week. I have a fully fenced in yard and two dogs that love to play with other dogs. I can crate your dogs if necessary, as well as bathe them and love on them.

About: I’ve been caring for animals in a variety of capacities since I was 10 years old, from hosting pets overnight in my home to visiting multiple pets daily around the neighborhood. As a nurse by profession, I bring a strong background in administering medications and following specialized care routines, which makes me especially confident in working with animals who need a little extra attention. I absolutely love animals and genuinely enjoy getting outside for walks and runs with them—combining exercise with quality companionship. Right now, I’m finishing up my senior year of college, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I spend most days studying. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine—it gives me a reason to get up, move around, and spend time doing something I love. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks or visits and I genuinely enjoy the break that caring for animals brings to my day. The care I provide is always tailored to each individual animal. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs, habits, and preferences—whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, preparing a specific diet, or simply maintaining a comforting routine. As a nurse by trade, I’m highly detail-oriented and confident handling special care regimens, from administering medications to observing restrictions or special needs. My background ensures that your pet receives attentive, safe, and compassionate care at all times. I take pride in being someone you can count on to treat your pets with the same level of care I’d want for my own.

“Leah is absolutely amazing! She is such a sweetheart and loves animals. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She is able to recognize and cater to his every need. Definitely will continue to book with her!”

Naomi W.
“I’ve had the pleasure of Naomi cat-sit for my baby girl Jackie several times and have always felt so grateful for her care of my fur baby. While Jackie and I get along very well she has been known to be more difficult with new people. I was amazed at how Naomi was able to take a gentle and caring approach with my cat, making sure she was taken care of and providing me with text updates along the way! When my Mom was going out of town and needed someone to look after her corgi I knew Naomi would be an excellent fit. I think Tilly the corgi got more exercise and snuggles that week than she had in months, which my Mom was sooooo happy to see.”

Sarah has been wonderful to work with. She was highly attentive to my pup’s needs and took extra time to make him feel comfortable around her. Sarah communicates clearly and will put your mind at ease by keeping you in the loop. When you book with Sarah, you can rest assured your fur babies are in excellent hands!

We continue to deeply appreciate Jacquelyne's care and conscientiousness toward our pets and our home. We feel confident in being gone with her taking care of things at our place. Our grumpy anxious dog clearly loves her - he is smiling in all the check-in photos.
