“Megan is great! Always very communicative and sends pics with updates. Spends extra time giving kitty loving pets for my special needs senior cat. Would highly recommend using her to anyone with fur babies.”

“Amanda was great! I loved all the pictures and videos she sent. I could tell my pets enjoyed her visits. I 100% recommend her and will be contacting her in the future if we need her again ?”

“Carly was absolutely incredible! My new rescue pup was very scared and shy and ended up hiding under our yard barn, refusing to come out. Carly immediately called me to explain what was happening, kept me updated the entire time, and truly went above and beyond by staying until I could get more help to the house. Her patience, kindness, and genuine care made such a stressful situation so much easier, and I was so grateful to know my dog was in such compassionate hands. I couldn’t recommend Carly more highly—she’s exactly the kind of person you hope to find to care for your pets!”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.

“Kamela is wonderful! I am a new puppy parent and I’m lost but she is great at holding my hand during this process with encouragement and helping me reinforce what I’ve been doing with my pup.
