About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I’ve been a vet technician since 2018 .I currently have 1 cat, 2 dogs, 1 parrot and even chickens, so I understand how important it is to give every animal attention, patience, and loving care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available evening. after my shift at the vet during the week and available on weekends anytime . In drop by visit, or sitting for a few hours. I love meeting new fur friends and am comfortable caring for pets with anxiety, disabilities, or medication needs. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to give every pet the love and care they deserve.
About: I’m a big dog and cat lover. I have owned and taken care of my own pets for at least the last 6+ years. I take pride in a job well done. I have been working for a vet for the last few weeks and have picked up a few key thing to look for if your animal is sick or having problems. I am home most of the time which gives me great opportunity to focus on your fur babies. When you leave your pet in my care it will be as if you never left. I will give them the undivided attention they need to keep them calm and happy. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies.
About: I have three of my own senior babies that I love with all my heart, and I am looking to spread that love to your babies as well. I have experience with pets of all ages, but caring for seniors is one area where I excel. I am very patient and gentle, and I am very diligent about routines (especially when it comes to medical needs/medications). I currently work from home have the ability to incorporate visits within my daily schedule. I am also free on weekends and can provide extended or multiple visits when needed. I have a fenced in yard at my home, and even when my dogs are outside, I am always watching them to ensure they are safe, which I would also do for your family. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I would be sure to take your loved one outside on a secured leash.
About: Hi! I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have cared for labs and dachshunds to birds and hamster so I am well versed in interaction and first aid. I can also care for reptiles, amphibians and insects/bugs as I have proper training in labs and rehab centers. I am currently going to school for zoology and black world studies and have worked two years as a zoology and lab tech assistant. So you can be assured you animal is in good care. I am versed in behavioral activites, nutrition, training, and age grouped interactions between animals and humans as well as many of the signs for common sicknesses and fatigues within breeds. I love being outdoors and playing games in order to give the animals the ability to express their energy in an appropriate manner. You animal will be in great hands. I also make usually make pet friendly treats if I have advanced notice! I am currently self employed so my schedule works around me. Animal care always comes first, after all a steady schedule makes for a happy pet I have two small dogs one is a baby one is an old man but they get along great and play like puppies. They are friendly and would love to keep your fur baby company. However, if your dog is not up for company for any reason there is a nice sized crate in which the animals that reside here or your own (which ever you are more comfortable with) can reside it. I love to play, study mannerisms and behaviors, I like toys that make their brains work so they feel fulfilled and tired after a good session of play. Walks, breaks and water are a good way to bond and pass the time. Cuddle bugs are always welcome as well. Nail trimming and grooming available if needed.

It is common to hear from me every day, with a multitude of photos.

“Reggie was amazing! Very responsive & sent pics from every walk. My dog was worn out after being properly exercised & slept through the night without waking me up, which is NOT normal! 😂🥳 I will definitely use her services again!”

About: Growing up I've always had a love for all types of pets, I've had a few family pets that I would take care of as well! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I strive to create a bond with your pets! Usually, I would like to set up an appointment ahead of time to meet your loved ones and we can create a bond, I would like to take this time to see if they're comfortable with me based on body language & behaviors! I have experience working with all kinds of pets, and I've worked at boarding facilities. I have experience working with reactive animals and I currently have a reactive dog!! Any extra knowledge I have is because I have a great sister who is a veterinary technician! I currently work 2 jobs, both of which are Thursday-Sunday. At one of my jobs I work overnight, so there is a possibility I will have to leave to work in the middle of the night and will be back by morning. Along with my 2 jobs, I am also a college student, with that being said I have to attend in-person classes during the week. I am able to care for your loved ones before, between, and after work, and make it a priority to give your animals quality care & all the love I can. If you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to reach out! I keep a close watch on my own pets as well as the pets I look after. I would prefer a list/note of what type of pet care you expect, for instance writing a note with your animal's daily schedule and when/what to feed them! If your babies have any allergies or if there's anything specific you'd like me to know about your pet please also disclose that information. At the end of each stay/visit, I make it a point to include a brief summary of how your pet(s) behave, just to bring you up to speed! I like to send lots of photos and videos of your pet, so keep your phone close to receive ALL the love from back home <3
About: Hi! I’m Laurel! I’m a 21 year old college student with a passion for animals. I have been building my business, Fingers and Paws Pet Care, since May of 2025! Since then I have served over 30 happy clients, many of whom schedule regular walks/visits! I am committed to providing pets with a safe and engaging environment, and pet parents with peace of mind! I have been an animal lover my whole life, and an involved pet owner since elementary school! I began pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was in high school. I stayed in client’s homes while caring for their pets to avoid loneliness or a change in routine. This consisted of preparing meals, feeding, walking, giving potty breaks, playtime and other enrichment activities, as well as retrieving mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house maintains cleanliness. Oftentimes, clients would ask me to care for other animals in the home, such as geckos, turtles, and fish, which I am more than happy to do! I also offered drop in visits for neighbors’ pets in high school. This consisted of stopping by, preparing food, feeding, offering potty breaks, play time, walks, and litter changes if needed. Since starting Fingers and Paws, my pet care experience has increased exponentially. I have increased my range of services and now offer house sitting, boarding, drop in visits, walks, baths, and play sessions. Pet care is my full time job, though I am a college student! The majority of my classes are online so I can be as present as possible with your pets! I have one in person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00pm-2:15pm. Whether I’m hosting a pet or staying in their home, my routine depends on the pet’s routine! I discuss activity levels and a pet’s daily routine with owners before booking a visit. This includes feeding times, walk schedules, potty break schedules, treat schedules, and playtime schedules! Pets are sensitive to changes in their environment, so the goal is to match a pet’s routine as similarly as I can! I live in a condo on the ground floor, which means I have a backyard and can easily bring dogs outside for potty breaks or walks. The condo has three bedrooms so if I’m watching multiple pets, that gives them the opportunity for alone time if needed! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and your pet will not go without attention or affection while they are with me!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s unique routine—whether that means daily walks, medication, or quiet companionship. I’m working toward becoming a certified dog trainer, I approach every pet with patience and curiosity. I care deeply about understanding each animal’s individual behavior, needs, and personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking summer classes remotely and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am available at various times throughout the day. I’m home for the summer and primarily serve Trinity and surrounding areas. During the school year, I attend college in Charlotte and offer pet care services in that area as well. I also have a senior golden retriever who keeps me on my toes with regular walks and fresh air breaks, so I understand the importance of consistent routines and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your furry friend in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and happy. I closely follow any routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels right at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, with regular updates so you always know how they’re doing
