About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to seniors needing extra attention. One life experience that truly sets me apart is caring for my own dog who has frequent seizures. Through that, I learned how to stay calm in urgent situations, follow a care plan precisely, and provide comfort and reassurance when a dog is scared or disoriented. This experience has given me the skills and confidence to handle special medical needs with patience, compassion, and reliability. I’m currently a sophomore at Auburn, and my class schedule is Monday–Thursday from 8–9:50 a.m. and Monday–Wednesday from 12:30–1:50 p.m. Outside of those times, I’m completely free and can be flexible to whatever a customer needs. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I have large blocks of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, as well as evenings and weekends open for longer stays or overnight care." Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, so they feel at ease even when their owner is away. I give plenty of attention and affection, keep water bowls full, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise. If a pet has special needs, like medication or medical conditions, I follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Mrs Catherine is the best person that took care of my golden doodle and this’s priceless to me. I really love that she was sending pictures and videos every single day and updating me on how Karol was doing. Please Do not hesitate to contact her for the care of your pet, as she will provide excellent care.She’ll be my dog sitter on our upcoming vacations.”


“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”


About: I have worked with animals as a kennel technician for 3 years. All knowing of many dog behaviors outside and in play yards. Knowledge of if a pet needs to be seen by a doctor or if it is not feeling well. Yes I do go to school but I also have a pet of my own who I care for. While at home my dog is out playing and having fun with me. When I am in class he is in his crate for an hour until I get out of class. I live in a pet friendly apartment with lots of room to go on runs or walks. My apartment has a dog park that my dog goes to everyday unless weather permits. My dog is friendly and gets along with other dogs very well.

“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”


About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.

DO NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE; Jennifer is the person you want to watch your baby. YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED. I will only book with Jennifer. She is Amazing!!! I’m so happy with the way she cared for my baby. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! SHE IS THE BEST! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her family. They are the nicest people I have met in a long time. I’m not just saying this either. JENNIFER ANSWERS TEXT IN A TIMELY MANNER. She scheduled a meet & greet and showed me where my baby girl would be staying and her back yard is big enough to fit an entire litter of pups/dogs without them bumping into each other. My baby stayed with Jennifer & family for 7 days. I even messed up on drop off/pick up time and she was very understanding. This was my first time using this service and Jennifer helped me through the process. Anyone who has read this far, believe this if you believe nothing else-for her price YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOU EXPECT!

“A lovely house with attentive charming owners who let our kitties choose their own rooms. They have a friendly kitty of their own who got on well with our cats and a golden doodle who was also gentle and friendly. Great photos of the cats every day kept us in the loop and reassured.”


About: I have been caring for pets and animals since I was merely five years old! They are my passion! I have experience with cats, hamsters, squirrels, rabbits, horses, and even our fishie friends! 🐠 I am especially fluent in doggy language and their needs 🫶🏼 and have cared for all life stages that our canine companions go through. I’m also very experienced in caring for cats, as I have two of my own. 💕 I have a flexible schedule, and can be home and available most of the day for your beloved family member if you choose to board. My home is a very pet friendly environment with a fenced in backyard for safety. My 8 year old son is comfortable with dogs and cats, and has been taught to respect their boundaries. I have one dog and two cats in my home that are living their best lives! ✌🏼

“Mia and her husband are extremely nice and welcoming. They watched my dog and they took care of him like their own pet. Got plenty of walks and play time. When I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave.”


“Elena came through for us when we needed a last minute dog sitter. Great communication and sent photos and videos. She was reliable and attentive to our labradoodle, who tends to be anxious.”


About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, bunnies, and horses. I have also been trained by a dog expert when I was concerned about adopting large dog straight from the shelter and into my home of two other smaller dogs. My aunt is a veterinarian and she is always one call away from any questions Ive had about animals. I am currently enrolled in college and I am taking self defense classes. My weekends are free and I am available during some of the weekday depending on the time. In my home we allow our animals to take luxury of sleeping on couches and beds. We always clean up after them in the event something happens. I always treat my pets with respect and always show them kindness. I am very patient with my animals but do not let them run the house.

“Amber and her family were so sweet to our Marcus! They helped us out in a pinch when we needed someone to start watching him same day. Amber gave us updates throughout the day and sent us pictures of Marcus and their dog Ranger lounging around the house. We will definitely have Marcus stay again when we’re in town!”
