About: I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. I previously have fostered puppies, adult dogs, and kittens from a local shelter. I also used to have 12 rats! I love all animals, but especially small animals like rats, mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters! I currently don’t work, so my schedule is wide open! I can stop in any time during the day or night for anything! Or stay all day or night! I will take care of your pets like they are my own! My dog is my everything so I know how important animals are to us! I will follow all instructions and take care of them the same way you would!
About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.
About: The care I have for dogs goes above and beyond. Wether it be small dogs, or big dogs, i’m always up for a challenge. I have had experience with both small and bigger dogs. I used to have a pug named Daisy and a bull mastiff named Buddy, just to give notice of the difference in size I have accustomed too. I have since gotten a black female pug named Nova, who will be 7 on July 16. I also have two big breeds, Charlie, who is a german shepard/lab mix, and Daisy, who’s a mutt. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was only 6 years old. But then again, what kid hasn’t? Nursing school takes up half of my schedule, so that leaves the other half to love up on my own pups (or even yours!) Owning 3 dogs may seem like a lot of work, but it’s the craziness from it that keeps me sane. Going from owning a lazy, sleepy pug, to an energetic crazed lab, I’ve gotten accustomed to caring for dogs with different needs. I feed my dogs two meals a day, while also maintaining time to make sure they are playing enough to get their energy out. I attempted to crate train my dogs, but at the end of the day, I think they want cuddles more than I do! I can be lenient, but stern when it comes to behavior or needs.
“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.”

About: I have loved and tried to make friends with animals since I knew they existed. I have taken care of family members and friends animals for many years and being an animal owner myself I am well educated on their needs and body language. I currently work a part time job from 3 to 8 on week days and every other weekend so I do have a pretty tight schedule so the day I can work would be the some weekends, holidays and days I don’t have work.

Jennifer S.
“Jennifer is the most compassionate animal lover I have ever met. Not only her selfless acts of fostering older adoptable dogs, but also even a group of 6 kittens as well. When it comes to our pets, I would trust for Jennifer to care for mine in a heart beat, knowing they would receive the same love and attention that we give at our own home 💕”

“Jeff is very good with my dog. Chandler loves walking with Jeff. I recommend Jeff if you need any help with your dog for walks, playtime or dog sitting.”
Philip O.
“Philip took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away on a week long vacation. He spent lots of quality time with all the animals and made sure they were all fed and well cared for. He sent us daily pictures of the pets. He administered our cat’s medication twice a day. He also watched the house, took out the trash and watered all our plants, I 100% recommend Philip and plan on using him every time we go out of town.”

Lee B.
“Lee is my go-to dog care when I take random short trips away from home and my yearly vacations. I have an older dog that is very aggressive, another that has a big bark but is scared of everything, and a hyper dog that has no act right. Lee does great with all of them & they all love her. She listened at the very first visit when I told her of their habits and boundaries and we’ve experienced nothing but happy dogs upon returning home. We even get random, cute pictures sometimes when the mutts are posing for her 🙂”

Connor S.
“Connor has always been raised in a home with animals ranging from dogs, cats, and fish! He has had multiple breeds of dogs ranging from small and large, so he knows his way around caring for pets. He’s always been an animal person and I’m our 15+ years of friendship he’s been exposed to my families pets as well, in which we always had multiple cats and dogs. Anytime I need someone to watch my cats when I leave town Connor is the person I trust the most with them, they love him and he doesn’t just stop by to feed them and leave. He stays to socialize and play with them as well! Connor is not only familiar with animals but also friendly.”
Mariah L.
“In two words, Mariah was a professional JOY! I have 2 very demanding animals. One is an 85 pound German Shepard who speaks only German. The other is a 9 pound cat, needier than any dog I've ever owned. Not only did Mariah excel at learning the german commands for my energetic pup, Sampson, but she also handled the tense energy flawlessly between him and the cat...who at the time, we had only had for 1 month! My husband and I were in the process of integrating the cat into a dog's world (STRESSFUL TO SAY THE LEAST!). But lucky for us, when we had to jet out of town, Mariah was patient in our chaotic household, never put the two animals in danger, and most importantly, respected their boundaries by following our very detailed demands. We had her coming over 4 times a day for food, play time, walks, and snuggles. Our pets were never lonley thanks to Mariah, and they loved the comfort of staying at home instead of boarding them. Mariah is definitely someone who I now have saved in my phone book. Not only do our pets just adore her, but we do too!”
Tessa S.
“Tessa is amazing with all animals large and small. She is smart, compassionate, and a true animal lover. She wants what is best for the animal and goes above and beyond to give them excellent care.”
