5. Emily G.
“Emily is fabulous! She has worked with Cats, Dogs, Donkeys, and Horses just to name a few. She loves them all. She has an ability to truly understand how they are feeling about stuff. She talks to them like people. I honestly have never seen an animal respond to her in a negative way.”
6. Emma M.
“Emma was amazing!!! My husband and I were out of the country for about a week and a half and our girl was in such amazing hands! It was very reassuring we didn’t have to worry about anything with her there and our cat was so happy and loved her. I would highly recommend her to anyone! 😊”
7. Jessa P.
“Jessa went over and beyond what I expected for my fur babies. She is in general such a sweet person and was thoughtful in getting to know how my cats needed to be cared for. She is a great communicator and I could tell through her check-ins that the cats were genuinely comfortable around her. When I got back I could tell they weren’t overly anxious which is something I’ve been working on with my littlest one. I will definitely get in touch with Jessa again anytime I am going out of town. Thanks sm!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always been passionate about them since I was a kid. I wanting to be a vet when I grew up but life took a different turn and I settled on being a veterinary assistant. I continue to learn daily about their food, exercise and energy needs to be healthy, happy, content pets. I am blessed to make a living doing what I love and helping animals to be at their best! I currently have 4 dogs and 5 cats and besides my 2 grown kids and 2 grandkids they are the loves of my life!! I hope one day to be able to have a senior sanctuary for pets in my home to provide a safe loving atmosphere to seniors in their last years. I currently work 10 hour days , 4 days a week and mostly have weekends off. I can accommodate weekday evenings check ins and walks and anytime on weekends. I can come to your home and follow a specific guideline that you have scheduled for your pet. I understand how pets get accustomed to a certain routine and come to look forward to and expect scheduled playtime, meals and treats. I also know how they can get lonely while their people are away and just want some attention and cuddle time.
9. Dylan T.
“I recommend Dylan to care for any pets. She grew up with dogs and was always loving and took care of them. Adopted a dog from a shelter and took very good care of him. When we had to go somewhere over night she would come and take care of our two dogs with no problems.”
10. Joshua S.
“Joshua is the most determined person I’ve ever met. He is intelligent but most of all he uses that intelligent well to be very clear. However, he does have his flaws. He has a confidence, although well-founded, it is hard to overlook. However, when you need him to be there he will be there.”
11. Katelyn B.
“Katelyn was excellent with our pups, especially with our vision impaired and possible hearing impaired puppy. We will definitely use her again.”
12. Kayla B.
“Working with Kayla was great! They handled our pup with confidence and care and was incredibly flexible and accommodating when we had to make last minute changes to the scheduled visits. Highly recommend Kayla's services and look forward to working with them again.”

15. Selena O.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Many breeds from labs to aussies to huskies. I can bathe, trim nails, and exercise your pets if need be. I work in a dental office throughout the week but my hours are flexible. I can work around the schedule if I can plan ahead. I plan on following the instructions the client has for the pet. If the pet parent does not want the pet to be off leash or walked in a certain part of town, I will follow those rules. I am particularly about my own dog and her safety so I completely understand where people are coming from when it comes to letting someone else watch their pet.

18. Trinity B.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. From the moment I was born I grew up with Doberman Pinschers so big dogs don’t scare me off. Just recently I’ve gotten a miniature dachshund and she is the best of friends with my current male Doberman. I live up to the challenge if you have a dog with some health issues. I’ve been through it personally with my own so if I need to administer medication it’s no problem at all. Potty breaks I make sure are frequent as I’m still trying to potty train my little one as she’s very stubborn about it. I welcome working with cats as well! I’ve never had one, however, I have lots of family and friends who do for which I am constantly around. If you also have pets that aren’t cats or dogs I would love to help you out! More often available on the weekends or a day during the week on Wednesday on my days off from work. If you have specific days in mine I will need to know ahead of time. I can stop by early in the morning before work and then after work (no more than 9 hours at most between) I have not yet cared for clients pets in my own home, looking to build up a bigger portfolio before doing moving forward with that
19. Amie F.
About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

“Scott loves animals and takes very good care of them. Your pets will be in good hands with him. He is very experienced and compassionate.”
