Sara is a lovely young lady who has a wonderful rapport with our dog. He loved her from the moment they met. She is very responsible and we trust her with our fur baby.

Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.

Heather is truly amazing, she gave my anxious pup time to warm up to her and eventually he had no choice but to love her! Her updates are excellent, personable and funny, I knew my pup was being well cared for and loved while I was away- she really went above and beyond 💕

About: I have great experience with all types of animals in all ranges of age and necessities. I have worked at a barn as well as volunteer at my local animal shelter. I also grew up fostering puppies and kittens as young as days old. I have multiple pets of my own and they are my whole world, I treat any animal with the same level of respect. I work part time but my schedule is very flexible with an enough time in advance. I am free pretty much all day on weekends and most consistently after 3 on weekdays. However my schedule does shift and I am an early riser so I can make most other times work. I currently do not offer home services in my personal house. At a clients home I will listen to whatever instructions are given and keep everything as similar as possible for overnight and drop-in visits to help keep stress levels down for your animal.

About: Hi everyone! I am currently in higher education, looking to spend my time away taking care of furry friends in the neighborhood. I have experience with animals going back to my first job at 14, working as a pet bather for a groomer for about 3 years. This gave me a range from working with rowdy fun labs to small and fun chihuahuas. I am very active so taking your friend on long walks is perfect for me as well. I am also fine with any different dog breed or cats. Also, no allergies for me! I love all pets large or small, cat or dog, and thank you for trusting me with an important piece of your life. Please feel free to contact me with any more information or questions you may need! I am currently working in higher education, and have some flexibility in my scheduling! Message me anytime if you have specific dates in mind as I will always try and accommodate. I have my own puppy with a fenced in yard. But I am also an active runner and hiker and am able to go on long walks as needed with your pet. I will am very willing to do a meet and greet with you to make sure I can care for your furry family member as needed.

About: I have plenty of references and experience with pet care. Growing up, I always had a dog and cat in the home. Currently, I live in an apartment and can’t get a dog. My boyfriend is allergic to cats, so I can’t get a cat either 😢 But I have plenty of friends and family who I have given pet care to. I can read animals pretty well and always prioritize their needs. I currently work full time but would love to use any extra time I have to help out your family. I work 3pm-11pm Sunday-Thursday. I am available all weekends unless my calendar says otherwise. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their needs and make sure they have everything needed. I like to keep the parents in the know of how they are doing and update with pictures as often as possible 😊

About: Hello! My name is Jess, and I am excited to offer my pet services to you and your furry family members. With 35 years of experience as a pet care provider and over 20 years in rescue, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. My commitment to animal welfare includes over twenty years volunteering for a local rescue organization, as well as six years on the board where I'm currently serving as President. Having recently retired, I now devote all my time to my one true love—pets. I'm a foster failure many times over and I'm looking forward to spending my days with my pups. My extensive experience includes special needs care, managing diet and allergy restrictions, light physical therapy, basic pet CPR and first aid, senior care and administering medications. I'm well versed in animal behaviors and speak their language. I know what they want to do and what they don't want to do with just about any pet I come in contact with. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, a sample delivered to the vet, transportation to vet/medical appointments, grooming services, or a comforting home away from home while you're away, I've got you covered. I offer overnight boarding (longer stays available) for vaccinated and friendly pets in my home, along with check-ins and walking services. I have a grooming room in my home to provide a full service spa day for your pet, ensuring they feel pampered and loved, and look like a million bucks when you return. It can be one of the hardest things we do, leaving our pets. Having someone you trust and your pets love can make or break your travel plans, or your decision to add a pet to a working family. Life is better with dogs, let me help you live your best dog mom/dad life... I look forward to meeting your pets (and you of course).. I'm retired, so I'm flexible. I'm available almost any day/time, with some notice. While a booking is preferred, I can usually accommodate last minute requests (at least an hour or two notice). If I cannot, I can refer you to another trusted pet care giver. I have over an acre of property with a fenced in yard. Quiet cul-de-sac in village area. No thru vehicle traffic, light foot traffic. I have four rescue pugs who can't wait to meet their next best friend. They love play dates with other pets, I'm in rescue and frequently host meetups, transport drops and foster, so there are always furry friends for play time. However, if your pet is a little less energy and enjoys nap time and quiet, I can easily accommodate that as well. Take away, your pet will be safe, secure, loved, pet and very well cared for. They'll ask you when they can come back!

I am available most days of the week and weekend except for a select couple weekends this summer. My availability ends mid August. I care for the animals I am in charge of with acute attention. These pets are peoples loved ones, their furry children, and I don’t take that lightly. They deserve love, attention, engagement, and a safe environment for them to succeed in.

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

Lynne is a genuine dog lover and took excellent care of our pup while we were away. It was clear in the pre-meet we were in great hands and we will certainly become repeat clients of hers. Highly recommended!
