About: I have 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, specializing in dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Recently, I’ve expanded my care to include cats, with the past 6 months caring for two wonderful felines. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I set aside time each day for feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible enough to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a regular visit or last-minute care, I make sure pets get consistent attention and affection. In both my home and my clients’ homes, pets are treated with the same care and respect I’d give my own. I keep their environment clean, safe, and free of hazards, and I follow each owner’s instructions closely—from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care.
“Whitney was amazing! Our 16 year old terrier doesn’t take to everyone, but she loved Whitney. Communication was excellent, with several photos sent throughout the time she was here. We returned home to a happy, healthy dog who kept sticking her nose in the spare room to see if Whitney was still there 😂 Highly recommend Whitney for any dog sitting.”
“Cody is a dream! Cody was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive to our beagle’s needs. Our pup has separation anxiety, but they handled it with such patience and care. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup—a huge relief. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Michelle was amazing. She won over my pittie Stella right away and made an instant bond. She sweet talked my anxious little old lady cats, and was able to make inroads on some seriously shy kitties. Michelle came up with a great solutions when obstacles arose and left the house in tip top shape. I would not hesitate to use Michelle for pet care again and recommend her highly!”
“Natalie is great with our three dogs (and cat!). It's great to be able to leave for a few days with the knowledge that our 'kids' are being well cared for. Needless to say, Natalie is responsible, a great communicator and wonderful with the dogs. Everyone seemed very relaxed and completely unstressed when we returned home. Thank you Natalie!”
