About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a little girl and I've loved animals ever since I was 3 I think. Any day and anytime im available 24/7 for cats dogs or any type of animal it doesn't even matter if its a bird or rat. Also dog will be caged if aggressive or poop or pee everywhere I have a fenced yard with a gate and a very quiet neighborhood and the dogs would be inside with me unless to use bathroom.
“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”
“We originally booked her for Thanksgiving holiday from Thurs to Sat. We were running late on Sunday morning, so we sent her a message for a rebooking which she kindly agreed to. She checked up on Buddy and Lorax within minutes! She was great!”
“Juanita was amazing! She went above and beyond and all our dogs warmed up to her instantly. Will definitely be regular clients. The pictures she took of our three boys were super cute too and great for peace of mind when we are so far away.”
About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including pregnant mamas and newborn pups—I bring more than just love to pet sitting. I’ve assisted in safe deliveries, cared for litters, and provided round-the-clock attention to dogs with special needs. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and training, so their good habits stay strong even while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, behavior reinforcement, or late-night check-ins, your pet will be cared for like they’re my own. I plan my day around the pets I care for. From morning walks to evening check-ins, their needs come first, and I always make sure to give them structure, love, and attention throughout the day. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and routine are my top priority. I adapt to their personality and needs—whether that means active play, extra snuggles, or sticking to a specific training or feeding schedule. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment they can feel secure in.
About: Greetings!! I LOVE dogs, ask anyone who knows me. AND cats too. I've taken care of my own furry loves, friends/family and client's pets, as well! Let me love and care for your fur babes while you are away, preferably having a great time, or maybe just working. I'm currently available full time for the animals. I've retired as a professional photographer after 30 years and am devoting my time to things that I love, and animals is high on the list! I love to hike and having dogs along makes every trip even better. I spend a lot of time at dog parks as well, and it's relaxing and so entertaining. My first priority is to your pets. Whatever care they require, walking, feeding, loving on, rides to dog parks, whatever they need, that is my concern. My own dogs spend a lot of time with me, and with other dogs. We frequent a lot of the parks and trails in the area. I would love to have yours along! And if it's your cat(s) that need care, I LOVE cats too. I miss having them myself, but I live on a boat, and it's just not the place for a cat.
About: Greetings pet lovers! I’m a friendly, loving, and laid back person here to help anyone with their pet needs. I’ve been caring for pets since I was little boy. That’s over 20 years of experience! Anything a pet needs I can handle from walks, drop ins, house visits and companionship. I treat all animals just like I would treat my own kids. Firm believer in, Pet Lives Matter too! We have to defend animals in this cruel world, because unfortunately they can defend themselves on a political level. Pet lovers across the world need to recognize this and stand up for pets because they can’t stand up for themselves and voice their opinion. I would love to help you if you need it, anytime I’m available.
