About: I’ve cared for dogs of varying breeds and personalities since I was 10. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I also raised and lived with my two beloved Jack Russell Terriers aboard a sailboat full-time, so I’m no stranger to keeping pets calm, happy, and safe in all kinds of environments. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs, and I bring a calm, confident energy that animals trust right away. I’m available 24/7 and absolutely love spending time with animals, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or overnight care, I’m flexible and ready. Your pets will get all the attention, exercise, and love they need—anytime you need it! I only provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, where they feel safe and comfortable. I respect your space, follow your routines closely, and make sure your pets feel loved and stress-free while you’re away. I’m experienced, trustworthy, and happy to accommodate any special instructions—from medications to crate time or snuggles on the couch.

I have a fenced in yard and three very friendly dogs who love to run and play! My dogs love to go on walks which I hope I have the opportunity to do with yours as well or play in the yard!

About: I have always had a love for animals. I had dogs growing up, and now have a cat, Nick. I began volunteering for the Beacon Animal Shelter about 9 months ago. It has absolutely changed my life in the BEST way! I promise to go above and beyond and love your fur babies just as much as you do, if not more! I work full time as a Records Clerk, and part time as a 911 dispatcher. I am available all days of the week, but I am pretty flexible.

My cat, Nick is getting older, so we have to take special care in making sure his food is soft enough for him to chew. As I had mentioned, I volunteer at Beacon Animal Shelter where I give those fur babies as much time and love as I can. It brings me absolute JOY to see an animal happy and thriving! I will listen to you regarding your animals needs and follow your instructions to the letter.

I love taking dogs for walks, creating that bond and letting them do what is vital for their physical and emotional well-being. I promise to care for your dog like my own whether it's taking them for walks or creating a fun and safe environment to play while you're away. Don't hesitate to contact me for more information or if you have further questions. Thank you!

About: I work as a musician on cruise lines , but am home with my two dachshunds (Hansel and Gretel) most of the year. Other breeds are fine as well. I am very available 8 months per year.

So, before June, I've got a lot of time available, and I'm comfortable being flexible or fitting to your hours and needs.
