About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, cats, fish, and even ducks! I have a deep love for animals and always treat them like family. My experience includes everything from high energy puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. I understand that every animal is different, so I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, or making sure they get plenty of play and cuddles. I’m reliable, attentive, and passionate about making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and work from home specific days during the week, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care on weekdays and weekends. Whether it’s a walk or overnight care, I make sure your pets get the time and attention they need! I tailor my care to meet your needs, whether that’s walking your dog, stopping by for check-ins, or staying overnight in your home. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have access to a fenced yard and will be kept company by my roommate’s friendly dog, Maggie. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust, and I’m committed to making your pet feel right at home, wherever that may be.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.

“Janie is really conscientious about making sure your pet is coping well with your absence. Great at keeping you in the loop and very responsive to questions. Took our first long trip away from our very anxious kitty. After the first 24 hours we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing she was in good hands.”

My name is Alicia and I have cared for and loved animals as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets. Any species you can imagine, I had one! However, my heart has always been with dogs. I have been a rescue foster for two years and it is the most rewarding way to give back. I have a large dog friendly home in a neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and a large field right across the street. So your pup will not be lacking in space to run and play ooorr lounge and snooze. I have one puppy, he is a medium size cockapoo that’s quite shy but a gentle teddy bear and loves to play chase with other pups! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Every dog that stays in my care is immediately assigned a tracking device on their harness/collar for added security. I also provide you with the link to their location for your peace of mind. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I’m able to provide uninterrupted care for your beloved fur baby. Sun-Mon I’m home most of the day. On the occasion I am away I may bring my furry house guest to pet friendly spaces or I’m gone no longer than 4 hours per at a time. I live in a beautiful neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and large fields to run and play. I also have a friendly playful pup that is always down for a game of chase. I can crate your dog if needed. I assign a tracking device to every pet they enters into my home for an added layer of security.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up in a home where we always had up to five dogs at a time—ranging from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds. I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I have plenty of experience keeping up with high-energy pets who love to run, play, and explore. There’s nothing better than seeing the pure joy on a dog’s face during a good walk or a fun play session! I’m a firefighter/EMT, which means I work 24-hour shifts—but only about 9 days each month. This gives me plenty of free time on my days off, and I’m often available for pet care during weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and flexible, especially for last-minute bookings or ongoing care needs. My fiancée and I share our home with two Australian Shepherds and a Border Collie—so I’m no stranger to energetic, intelligent dogs that need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Even on our busiest days, we make sure our dogs are well-fed, loved, and cared for. I bring that same level of commitment to every pet I look after. You can trust that your furry family members will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own.

At just 25 years old, he brings a wonderful balance of youthful energy and mature professionalism to everything he does. Over the years, he’s cared for a variety of pets—including dogs, cats, and even some more unique animals—and he treats every one of them like they’re his own. He’s incredibly patient, attentive to each animal’s specific needs, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just checking in to feed and play, he goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What truly sets him apart is the peace of mind he gives to pet owners. He’s trustworthy, punctual, and always communicates clearly. I never had to worry when my pets were in his care—I knew they were in excellent hands. If you’re looking for someone who takes animal care seriously and truly has a heart for it, Jerin is the one to call. — Jennifer”
