About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between—both in my own home and as a volunteer at animal shelters. I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique personality, whether it’s energetic puppies and kittens who crave playtime or senior pets who enjoy gentle cuddles and slow strolls. I’m especially skilled at building trust with shy or anxious animals through calm, patient care and plenty of positive reinforcement. I also love being outdoors and would be happy to take your pet along for a jog or relaxing stroll. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and provide personalized attention, loving care, and total peace of mind! I have a flexible work schedule where I only go into the office a few days a week. I update my calendar each week to show my availability for the days that I am working from home and over the weekends. I have experience caring for all ages of pets and can administer medication if needed. Please let me know if you have any particular care requests. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am very communicative and will send photos and messages to keep you updated throughout the day. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

About: I've spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pup like family. From energetic walks to calm companionship, I adapt to your dogs needs. I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Your pets safety and happiness always comes first. As a college student who is home for the summer. I have a pretty flexible schedule, I'm available morning, afternoons, and evenings - perfect for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I care for pets in their home by sticking to their routine, give them lots of love, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed.

My husband works from home and loves dogs and cats. Your dog or cat will have tons of attention and be well cared for. I love to go for walks in the land trusts and parks!

We look forward to meeting you!! I am a yoga teacher and mother of three. My family and I love animals and have boarded in the past. We took a break when my twins were babies, but now that they are older, we are excited to welcome pets into our home. I am home quite a bit as I have a very flexible schedule. I love to go for walks and would always take your dog with me if that's what they like to do. If they prefer the couch, they are welcome to get cozy and hang out. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat. We have a safe and loving home for your furry baby. We provide lots of play, cuddles, and frequent walks or play in the backyard.
