“We have used Stephanie on several occasions to drop in on our doggie babies and she is a God sent. Our pups love her and she is extremely loving and patient with them. During our last trip, one of our babies got sick and she sprung right into action, even cleaning up the mess. Having her to look after our pups truly gives me a peace of mind and I would recommend her to anyone.”


“Rachel went above and beyond to take care of our cats (and our garden)! She kept us well updated with details and pictures. Our house looks great and our cats are happy. Thank you Rachel!”


“Jenna is absolutely awesome! She is a delight to be around, and is super good with our dogs. She went above and beyond simply feeding and taking them outside, she showed them lots of love and took some adorable pics of them! She’s also very communicative.”


“Jackson is absolutely awesome! Everytime I have asked him to help me with drop-ins for my dog, he is always prompt to respond and is very flexible with schedules and drop in times.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life. From dogs of all ages and breeds, cats young and old, birds and even Guinea pigs. My love for animals show in the way I care for them. I am a homebody and would rather stay at home watching Netflix with your pet and my cat. I work during the week but I am free to board on weekends. I have a fenced backyard and a nice neighborhood for plenty of walks. My cat is dog friendly as long as your dog is cat friendly.

“Desirae was very quick to respond and was able to accommodate my last minute request! She took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town, would definitely use her again!”


About: I've cared for all the pets in my family since I can remember and studied animal behaviors since 1st grade along with learning training methods that build trust and respect between pets and handlers. I can handle puppies to seniors and have never met an animal that doesn't like me. I finished a master dog trainer course just to better understand how to take care and train dogs. I'm constantly learning new ways of training and teaching pets since they're all different! I have a schedule set for my pets and follow it while knowing mistakes will happen from time to time. I just finished a dog training school so I can taking care of dogs is a daily thing for me. I treat pets like humans, respect their wants and needs, listen to what they have to say, and set proper boundaries. Building trust with a pet or any animal will always be my first step to care for them.

About: I love dogs and have taken care of our family dog. I understand how precious they are and how they deserve to be treated with compassion and love I'm newly retired and would love to provide love and nurturing care to your sweet furbaby! Plenty of space and a large fenced yard! Plenty of rubs and walks I have a plenty of room, a large fenced yard and a friendly senior dog. I am usually asked by neighbors and friends to care for their dogs for short term or long term


“This was our second time booking with Jordan this time we booked with short notice and she was so sweet!! Our dogs absolutely love her I couldn’t be more happy to have her in our lives!!”


About: I've owned pets my entire life and have been caring for my family and friends pets for 5 years. I love them as my own and ensure they get the quality of care and attention they need. I've walked, fed, bathed, and house sat for owners and their animals of every shape and size. I love getting to know each animal's personality and be-friending each animal I care for. I work in the evenings at 4 so during the day I'm available to walk and care for your pet anytime before then. On my days off, I'm available to walk and do whatever care is needed for your pet all day. Given proper notice for house sitting or caring for your animal, I will requests days off. My schedule is flexible and my days off change but I am willing to shift my schedule around to accommodate your needs. I am more able to move things around if you let me know a week or two ahead of time for times you may need me all day or for house sitting and would like me at the house all day. Communication is key, so let me know what is needed and when and I will quickly respond letting you know if I'm available and can shift my schedule or not. I will ensure your pets are cared for the same way you care for them. By this I mean I will feed and walk them at the proper times as well as give them attention and play with them as much as as possible. I cannot have pets in my own apartment but whatever routine and rules you have in your home I will honor and abide by.
