“Channing was AMAZING!! She came and met Koa and we could just tell how caring she was. She kept us updated and was very reliable. Can’t recommend her enough!!!”



“Jennifer is amazing! Our babies were very happy, she loved them up for us while we were gone & took great care of them. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing someone & will surely wish to have her take care of our babies again.

About: I’ve had pets most of my life, and my heart belongs to my two doodles—Phoebe, a 50lb labradoodle, and Faith, a 15lb mini goldendoodle. I understand the needs of both large and small dogs, including exercise, routine, and affection. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and attention to detail—skills I honed during my career in law enforcement. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need structure or a little extra patience, including seniors or those with unique personalities. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended stay, your pet will be in caring, capable hands. I'm retired, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve—whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s routine becomes my priority. Safety and trust are top priorities for me. In your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, medications, and comfort needs. I stay calm and attentive, which helps pets feel secure and relaxed. You can count on me to show up, stay in touch, and treat your pet like my own.

“As you know, it's so stressful trying to find someone who will care for your pets like you do, but Shari was absolutely fantastic for us! I've never seen our two cats act so well adjusted coming back from time away like they have with Shari taking care of them- We knew we were in perfect hands when we met her- She really cares about pets and their well-being. --Great communication, professionalism, and showed great care! We couldn't recommend her more! Thx Shari-”


“Bob was very attentive with caring for our cats. He provided pictures to us while we were away that gave us the peace of mind and reassurance that our cats were happy.”


About: I am a lifetime pet lover and have cared for my family pets and my own now for over 20+ years. I treat your pet like family while you enjoy yourself knowing your pet is in good hands. Throughout my life, my deep love for dogs has been a cornerstone of my experiences and relationships. Having cherished my 15-year-old Shih Tzu-Yorkie named Winston, and my 18-year-old Shih Tzu-Yorkie, Wee Maggie, I have developed a profound appreciation for the companionship and joy that these furry friends bring. Now, with Nike, our soon-to-be four-year-old Labradoodle, I continue to embrace the responsibilities and rewards of pet ownership. My dedication to animals extends beyond my own pets; I am available for dog walking, doggie daycare and overnight dog care. I have a flexible work at home schedule and am open to all opportunities to assist with your pet care needs. Please feel free to contact me with special requests. I would care for your pet overnight in my or your own home so it is at ease and is not further disrupted. My home is always available.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I was a kid. I love all animals! I had dogs both big and small as well as rescued many cats over the years. I currently have a Boston terrier puppy with the best personality, she’s great! I will take care of your pet like I would my own. I’m available most days and looking for work in the Englewood area. If you need help with your pet please let me know. I’m currently working from home and have extra time to help with drop ins, dog walking and sitting. Feeding and cleaning up if that is needed. I’m very good with animals and will treat your pets like my own making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Also, making sure they feel loved.

About: With over 30 years of experience, caring for both cats and dogs, I understand that pets aren’t just animals – they’re family. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities, including a beloved cat and dog with special needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, handling mobility challenges, and providing the extra patience and attention that some pets require. Whether your pup needs energetic walks, playtime, and belly rubs, or your cat prefers a calm lap, and gentle care, I tailor my approach to each pets needs. I treat every pet like my own because I know how much it takes to leave them in someone else’s hands. You can count on me for reliable, loving, and attentive care that gives you peace of mind and gives your pet a happy, stress-free experience while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day,midday check-in for some planned attention, or evening cuddles, I’m used to building my schedule around the needs of animals. Now that I have more flexibility in my day-to-day life, I have the time and energy to dedicate to giving your pet the care, companionship, and consistency they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do-it’s something I love being part of my everyday routine. From keeping feedings on track to providing regular exercise and affection I treat each pet as a priority in my day. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to ensure comfort and consistency. I provide fresh food and water, go for walks or playtime (as needed), give any required medications, and offer plenty of love and attention. I keep the environment, clean, follow all instructions closely, and treat your home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

“Theresa took great care of our not-very-friendly cat. She visited him for a week we were out of town and kept in touch with us daily with notes and pictures. She soon found his favorite toy and won him over by the second day. Our cat (name OP) is not a great traveler, so he got a break from long rides in a car and we didn't have to worry about him having an "accident" in the car or wandering off when we had to stop. We intend to book her again.”
