“Bri was great! My dog is anxious around new people and Bri first met with both of us making the transition smooth. She did exactly what was asked and my dog loves her now!”

“Katie came to our home for the first time today to let our dogs out to potty, get treats and play for a bit. She arrived on time, communicated well with me while she was with them and sent me pics of each of our fur babies. I will definitely call on her again!”

“Would give 10/5 if I could! I have a senior dog who can be difficult with new people, especially when I’m not there, and Emma did phenomenal with meeting my pets and making them feel comfortable with her super quickly. She was very responsive and it was amazing how much care she provided with my super super last minute booking— I am so so glad to have found someone I can trust with my pets who genuinely enjoys being with them and caring for them. A wonderful person to interact with, cannot recommend enough for easy or more difficult pets!”

About: Hi, I am a professional doggy daycare attendant with extensive, hands-on training in canine handling and safety. Working daily with large groups of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments has taught me how to read body language, manage high-energy play, and keep every pet safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured playtime, or attentive overnight care, I treat every pet with the expert care they deserve. I am fully trained in behavioral management and safety protocols, giving you total peace of mind while you are away. I cannot wait to meet your furry family member! I work at a doggy daycare currently and my schedules very, but I’m will to work with anything and can accommodate anyone, so shoot any questions! When caring for your pet in your home or on our walks, my priority is maintaining their exact routine while utilizing my professional daycare training to ensure absolute safety. During House Check-ins: I focus on personalized attention and home security. Every visit includes fresh water, feeding according to your schedule, clean-up, and plenty of one-on-one affection. I am highly trained in reading subtle canine body language, meaning I can easily spot if a pet is feeling anxious or under the weather, allowing me to step in with the right comfort and care. During Walks: Safety on the leash is my absolute rule. I use positive reinforcement to keep walks structured, engaging, and structured around your dog's energy level. My background has trained me to be hyper-aware of our surroundings—watching out for off-leash dogs, traffic, or hazards on the pavement so your dog gets great exercise and comes home completely safe and tired.

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, snakes, tarantulas, and horses. With my love and closeness to animals growing up, I continued into the veterinary medicine world after high school and have worked within clinic settings for the past 7 years! I am experienced and comfortable with administering both oral and injectable medications, bathing, and much more. I plan to become a certified veterinary technician as well in the near future. While I do work full time during the week, I am still often able to accommodate multiple visits a day due to my lunch break! I don’t mind an early morning to make sure your pets are taken care of before the workday either. Because mid-day visits are on my break, the time I will be available for these visit will be dependent on the travel time. As my apartment is too small to accommodate any dogs or additional cats, I would be treating your home with the utmost respect! It’s your (and especially your pet’s) safe space, and that needs to be protected. I will always clean up after any messes if they are made by your pet and reach out to make sure you’re aware!

About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs from a young age. I also have previously worked at a boarding and grooming facility, and have volunteered at local humane societies. I am currently part-time and have extensive availability. Just make sure to check with me about extended house visits or reoccurring appointments, and I will let you know my schedule ahead of time! I have experience with many different temperaments of pets and can accommodate to whatever the needs of the pet or the owner, just let me know in advance!

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.

“Jacob was able to fulfill my last minute request for my dogs. We had a meet and greet and both dogs loved him instantly! We would definitely use his help again. Highly recommended:)”

“This is our second time booking with Jenna, and we couldn’t be happier. We were away during a heatwave, and she was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was okay. As always, we are grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and care and attention to our baby kitty. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!”

“Our Lucy is a pandemic dog who gets very sad when she is alone. Our Alexa notifies us of her mournful cries. However, with just 2 visits a day Rebecca divided her with enough engagement and affection that we never received even one notification over a 3 day period!! You brought games for Lucy to play and loved on her like she was her own.l She brought games for Lucy to play and loved on her like she was her own. We are entering our older years and Lucy is a young dog. There are some rules that we have for her so that she does not become too exuberant for our aging bodies. Rebecca, listened to those closely when she met us and reinforced them for us, when she was here. That is very important to us for Lucy's overall training and for us being able to keep her for a long time. When we did the meet and greet with Rebecca, Lucy formed an attachment to her. We used Rebecca's name often during that visit. When I told Lucy that we were leaving for 3 days, her ears went down - when I told her Rebecca was coming to visit her ears perked up.”
