About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
About: I genuinely love & care for all fur-babies! I’ve owned 5 different dogs in my lifetime, & I’m extremely patient when it comes to all breeds. On the more obscure side of things, I’ve also worked with reptiles, birds, fish, & rodents! On the days I do not work my main job, this works as a great side hustle for me to pay for classes & to be able to afford personal items for myself! I will provide attentive service depending on the dog & their requirements. I also do not mind walking any dog for as long as needed & I’m close to parks where they will have lots of space to explore! I also have dog bones & other toys to keep them busy!
“Great! I needed a dog walker unexpectedly and she responded immediately and walked my (very hard to manage) large puppy. I got a nice picture of my sweet and worn out puppy after her walk.”

“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”

“Rachael was a breeze to coordinate with and clearly cared for my pups like they were her own. She kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“This was our second time booking with Mercy. She’s extremely communicative and always makes sure we know what’s going on with our boys while we are away. She gives detailed visit notes and gives us pictures. She also blows us away every time by going over and above by sweeping/mopping after the dogs, taking out the trash, and even picking up around the house while she’s there. Absolutely the best sitter we’ve ever used, and will continue to be repeat customers.”
“Mariah not only ease my concerns and stress; she was also so loving to my Queenie. This was Queenie and I first time and I highly recommend her. Queenie loved her and gained a new friend😊 will return in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I had 2 family dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter! I have lots of experience and I am eager to make your furry family feel safe and comfy while you’re away! I work a full time job, so I am pretty available on afternoons and weekends. Typically after 3:30 PM on the weekdays, and as all day on the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of land! I have a safe and clean home that is super cozy for our furry friends.
“Susan has watched my pup for an hour while I’m at work for about two months now. She takes her on walks and plays everyday. I know Charlie is in good hands with Susan, and she’ll treat Charlie as if she were her own. She goes above and beyond, genuinely cares, and provides good care for Charlie. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”

“Brittany was great to work with! She took notes herself during the meet and greet which was great. She kept us up to date on how everyone was doing with each visit including pictures. It was awesome having someone who was familiar and comfortable with ferrets as well as medicating our cats. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

About: With over 30 years experience taking care of and working with animals, I have been called on by numerous family members and friends to help take care of their pets. I have bathed, walked, house sat and even did nail trims. I’m currently not working a regular job, so my availability is relatively open. Just reach out and I can accommodate! Looking forward to assisting you. I currently have 2 dogs (pittie and a chocolate lab) and 1 cat of my own. I am available to give care in the comfort of your own home.
“Monroe did a great job with my cats. They are very reclusive so she didn't actually see them, but she visited faithfully and took care of their needs. She is very pleasant and cooperative to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.
“Tatum does a fantastic job with our dog Duke! He loves his time with her! She’s got his schedule down and takes such good care of him! We will definitely continue to use her now and use her in the future!!”

“Shaelyn is awesome! So thankful for how she cared for my kitties while I was away- I was slow to message and she read my mind with some of the things I forgot to mention ahead of time (e.g. adding extra litter to the litter box). Reliable and 100% will book again!!”
