Melissa is extremely good with all animals and I would highly recommend her! Years ago when one of my german shepherds had a behavior issue we asked Melissa to work with us and the trainer to help correct the problem. Melissa understood what the trainer was doing and helped us to learn how to work with our dog. She has also fed, walked, and administered meds to our dogs while we were on vacation. Melissa is very reliable, knowledgeable about animals and extremely good with them. I trust her with all my animals care!

Sara has been AMAZING to work with! Our Davy girl needed some time to adjust to a new person and Sara was so patient and understanding! Sara has always been incredibly responsive and professional and is excellent at sharing pictures and videos of our pup. Sara is a great problem solver and noticed that when a certain leash was not working with Davy was able to switch to another leash and truly met Davy where SHE was at. Davy loves spending time with Sara and we’re so happy she’s been able to work with our schedules! Thanks Sara, appreciate you!

About: My name is Saira, I am 23 years old and have been caring for dogs for about two years now. I have experience in both dog walking and in home visits. I have dealt with many breeds from Huskys and Pitbulls to chihuahuas and Yorkies and various personalities. I also have experience in administrating oral medication as I know some of the older pups may need them. I am super friendly, reliable and trustworthy. I will take care of your buddy as if they were my own. You won’t need to worry about them while they are under my watch. I just lost my pup a few months ago so I am in need of extra loving your poochs! Don't hesitate in asking any questions! I Hope to see you soon!

Jess was lovely with my dog. I have a German Shepherd and I’m always a bit worried with strangers. Jess came to my house to meet my dog beforehand to make sure they were a good fit which made me feel so much more at ease. Jess even sent me pictures of their walks! She was very accommodating with my instructions and I’m so grateful for her service.

About: I am an experienced animal caregiver, for over 25 years! I have experience with, puppies, all size, all type of dog breeds, kittens, cats, birds, sugar gliders, lizards, ferrets, etc. I have boarded animals in the past and taken extra care of them while owners are away. I am compassionate, patient, and am an animal lover at heart. I'm 44, a vintage lover and vegan. I am a dog owner myself and have had my own dog cared for during vacations. I have a 13 year old baby chihuahua (she will always be my baby). I also had a 100lb+ pup up until a couple years ago. I have grown up around cats since I was 14 as well, my partner I live with has a 3 year old cat that I care for as well. I will take care of your dog/cat like I would want mine to be taken care of. Your pup will enjoy my company as I will try to entertain your dog and send you updates as much as possible while you are away so that you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands. I currently make my own schedule and I do have obligations but I can be super flexible and for the most part I can work from anywhere. I currently am not offering to pet sit in my own home as there is not enough room. But I’m happy to sit at yours.

Richie stayed with our Yorkie Nicky and Chihuahua Pea while we were away. He is very professional, followed the dogs schedule to a T, kept us updated and our dogs were calm and comfortable when we returned. We will definitely be booking him again!

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been around and caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog Max, who I got when I was 14 and truly consider my soul dog. He passed away in July 2025 from complications related to megaesophagus, but for a year and a half before that, I helped manage his condition after we were initially told he only had 30 days to live. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and providing attentive, specialized care. Because of these experiences, I’m especially comfortable with dogs who may need extra patience, have medical needs, or experience anxiety. I work full-time during the week, but I’m always available for morning and evening visits, including feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m off every other weekend, as well as some Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for longer visits or overnight stays. I’m also happy to accommodate overnight care when needed, so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets consistent care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things as consistent as possible—following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up after pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy while you’re away. For overnight stays, I help maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their environment.

About: I have owned cats my entire life and have had my own beloved dog for 11 years. Working as a private instructor and teacher, I routinely enter clients' homes and have mastered the art of reading animal body language. I consider myself a bit of a dog and cat "whisperer"—I have zero fear or nervousness around animals, and pets quickly sense my calm, positive aura. I treat every animal I care for with the exact same love, respect, and high-quality attention that I give to my very own pets. As a teacher, my summer schedule opens up beautifully! While I will still be working with a few students, I schedule my lessons earlier in the day to ensure I have maximum flexibility for your pets. My weekends are 100% completely free and dedicated to pet care, and my late afternoons and evenings are entirely open as well. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always know exactly when I am coming and going. Security, safety, and a calm environment are my top priorities. Because of my professional background as an in-home private instructor, I am deeply respectful of my clients' spaces, privacy, and household rules. I know how to keep a home secure, stick to strict feeding and medical routines, and handle any unexpected situations calmly. I excel at maintaining a stress-free environment so your pets feel completely relaxed, safe, and loved while you are away.

Stuart had an issue getting my dog to go back in my home after her walk was over. Christmas Eve wanted to stay laying on the grass outside. Stuart immediately contacted me for assistance in getting Chrissy back in the home. She finally was coaxed to oblige with her favorite dog treat. Thank you again Stuart
