Erica is seriously the best! I always know that Clyde is in the most loving hands while i’m away. My house is just how I left it (if not, it’s cleaner) :) and I receive daily updates and pictures. I appreciate her and so does Clyde!

Chad took great care of both our dogs. We have an energetic one year old and a laid back six year old..and he was able to keep them both occupied and entertained. He also sent over a bunch of photos daily. Thanks Chad!!!

About: Pet care is what I do! At your service anytime, day or night. Willing to negotiate fees for special needs and circumstances. I have over three and a half years of doggie daycare work experience, and have been pet sitting part time for over six years. It’s been my pleasure to know, care for, and live with more species and age ranges of animals than I can count, including puppies and senior dogs and cats. Animals have been ruling my life for the better part of a decade. Feeding, playing with and administering medication to dogs and cats is what everything revolves around in my world. I like to walk any dogs I’m watching at least twice a day, but everything else, feeding times, medicine, treats etc. is up to the client.

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Ashley on such short notice ahead of the holidays. Our dates were in flux and we couldn't book as far in advance as we would have liked. I was VERY anxious booking someone new for a full week (as our normal sitter was not available) especially given we have a senior cat that requires regular meds, but Ashley did everything in her power to make this paranoid cat mom feel at ease! She stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the booking. She sent loads of pictures and updates, including regular updates on how my senior boy was doing taking his meds. Both cats seemed very comfortable with her as evidenced by the snuggles my senior cat gave and the very limited number of hisses from our spicy girl. When we got home, the house was in impeccable shape and Ashley even brought in our mail/packages, which I greatly appreciated! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley next time we need someone to watch the buddies!

I am so incredibly appreciative and happy with Laci's amazing care for my kitties. Laci was professional, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond. She sent updates, pictures, and videos daily for me which I was so thankful for. Laci's passion, love, and care for animals is so evident. What was most impressive of all was her ability to go above and beyond when it came to medicating my spicy senior kitty, Raina. She was able to brainstorm with me and provide her expertise in how to best go about administering the medication each day while I was gone. She also provided so much affection and love for my younger kitty, Gavin, who can be a handful for sure. :) Laci's care for my kitties allowed for me to fully enjoy my vacation with my family without worrying about anything back home. I will be booking with Laci for as many future trips as possible. Please do yourself a favor and do the same - you and your pets will be thankful you did!

About: Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home. I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.

We recently entrusted our beagle, Kylie, to Stacey’s care—and we couldn’t be more grateful that we did. We specifically chose Stacey because of her extensive experience as a vet tech, which was crucial since Kylie suffers from seizures. Her understanding of animal behavior was another key factor, as Kylie is a former puppy mill mama who struggles with significant separation anxiety. Normally, my husband and I don't travel anywhere without Kylie. But due to a sudden loss in our immediate family, we had no choice but to find someone we could trust. Stacey exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly empathetic and reassuring, understanding just how difficult it was for us to leave Kylie for the first time. Stacey went above and beyond—taking Kylie on walks to ease her anxiety and patiently earning her trust. To our amazement, Kylie eventually snuggled up and napped with her, something she only does with close family members. That moment alone spoke volumes. We wholeheartedly recommend Stacey and will absolutely have her care for Kylie again. She brought comfort and peace of mind to both us and our sweet girl during a very difficult time.
