Despite heavy snow and cold weather Xiana was able to check on our dog and let her out as requested. We really appreciate her devotion and commitment to the pets!

About: As a proud owner of three lively Australian Cattle Dogs, I live and breathe dog energy every day. My passion for dogs (and cats too!) drives me to provide reliable walks, playtime, and check-ins that keep pets happy and healthy. With my own high-drive pack, I'm equipped to handle all breeds, sizes, and temperaments while ensuring lots of fun and exercise. Why Choose Me My home is a dog haven where my three Aussies thrive, so I know how to match routines and personalities. Expect updates with photos after every visit, plus a fenced yard (if applicable) and safe, loving care. Pet parents love my reliability and the wagging tails that follow! My schedule is very flexible. I schedule my own hours, so I am available when you need the right care for your pups to continue their routine! I provide all pet care services directly in your home for a stress-free experience. This includes energetic dog walks around familiar neighborhoods, drop-in check-ins with playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and medication administration right where your pets feel most comfortable. My approach with cats focuses on gentle interaction, litter maintenance, and cozy companionship without overwhelming them.

My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

About: I have a year experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own as well. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I am available 7 am to 1 pm & 4:30 pm to 9 pm Monday through Friday to walk or care for your pet as needed for walks or if they just need checked on. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

About: I love dogs. Big or small they are smart, intuitive, loyal and good judges of character. We will do different activities depending on your dog's personality, temperament, and age. Wether we go for a walk or play your loved one will get that one-on-one attention they so desperately need. If you need someone to wear out that puppy and make sure they get that good exercise, I'm your girl. If your dog is older and just needs a good pampering, I got you. I am available early mornings, brief afternoons, and late nights 7 days a week. My availability short notice will vary based on how close the pick up and drop off are. I live next to a dog park! And I know lots of other parks and good neighborhoods with nice shady sidewalks for your dog and I to explore. I am willing to share GPS location so you always know where your pet might be while with me.

Madison was incredible! She watched my two older, very particular cats for nearly an entire week, and every time she checked in (with lots of photos!) I felt a huge wave of relief. She did everything she asked for and more! I would book Madison again in a heartbeat, and if you're looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and goes the extra mile then you should book her!
