“Ashley took great care of my senior dog and puppy during their drop by visits! She was quick to respond and book and sent tons of pictures! I always felt like my babies were being well taken care of! 🐶🥰”


About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring a wealth of experience caring for a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, fish, and reptiles. Growing up in a home filled with pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and comfort in grooming, walking, feeding, and engaging with your furry companions. Rest assured, I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I embrace all breeds and types of animals without discrimination, and I'm committed to providing a warm and welcoming environment for your fur babies. As a mother of two energetic boys, your pets will receive an abundance of love and companionship while they're in my care. My sister will also lend a helping, if needed, giving your pets the extra attention and care they deserve. I can’t wait to make your pets' time with us a joyful experience! I’m currently a full time student and mother. I am very flexible with my schedule with the exception of the hours 8-9a and 330-415p for school pickup. In my home or my client’s home, I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. Most importantly, I provide an abundance of love and attention, keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel connected while their furry companions are in my care.
“Excellent experience! Paige followed diet requirements and my kitties seemed more comfortable than usual around her. She was communicative the whole time and helped prevent their escape artist tendencies.”


“Christine was very nice & caring with my boy simba! She updated me regularly & even sent pictures & videos. Simba had a great time in her care & I will definitely be booking again for future trips!”

About: I’ve cared for pets most of my life, especially dogs, and animals have always been a big part of my world. I’m currently a proud pet parent to a pug and a puggle, so I understand firsthand the daily routines, personalities, and special needs that come with caring for dogs of all kinds. I truly love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions, giving you peace of mind if your pet needs extra attention. My goal is to help other pet owners feel confident knowing their animals are in caring, capable hands and to make sure every tail keeps wagging. I work full time, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m available most mornings before work, afternoons after work, and in the evenings. I also work from home one day a week, which gives me full flexibility that day for walks and drop-ins Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities during walks and drop-in visits. I follow all care instructions closely, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stay alert to surroundings at all times. During home visits, I respect your space, ensure doors and gates are secured, and make sure your pet is safe, calm, and well cared for.
“My dog is super particular and anxious around most, but he was so calm and at ease with Sarah. I am so thankful for her. My dog usually also gets sick when I leave town, but he was doing fantastic and so healthy when I returned. Sarah is so good with dogs, and she was so professional and took this very seriously. I hope to get her help again! She’s the best.”

“Heather was great! All planned drop ins were completed at the times requested and she was very flexible to updates and the needs of our pups. Will use again! Thanks!!!!!”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, but I love animals of every kind. As a biology student who can't have any pets of my own at school, I'll treat your pets like my family! I am taking organic chemistry over the summer, so my schedule will be very flexible. I am an early riser, so morning walks are not an issue for me. I am happy to make multiple visits to your pet each day! For dogs, I walk and feed them regularly and make sure they get as much exercise and socialization as they need. For cats, I feed them regularly, clean litter boxes, and give them space unless they want to be my friend. I will not touch any personal belongings unless I have permission to do so, and I will ensure the security of your home by locking doors and keeping all client information confidential. I am very reliable and I will care for your pet like they are my own!
“Look... Emily is the kind of service provider that I would hire to be my permanent dog nanny if I were wealthy. I typically don't give as high of praise as I will forever give this lovely person! She made a short notice family emergency a lot less of a problem by being "the cool aunt" for our pups while we handled life stuff. For real, Emily is amazing.”

“Abigail did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. She followed all our directions and adapted to one of our cats not wanting to come out to eat. She spent time getting to know them and played with Lavender, who doesn’t always want to play. I highly recommend her to care for your animals, she will do a great job!”
