“Brabara, took care of my Little Miss May the last few days. This was the first time I had left May at home by herself over night. Barbara was able to come by for walks, drop-ins & feedings which kept May on her schedule. As usual Barbara took great care of my girl and allowed me to enjoy my weekend away.”


About: I’ve been around animals since the day I come home from the hospital to today. For my 6th birthday i was gifted my first cat to call my own from that day I knew I wanted to take care of animals. I’m available anytime on the weekends. Also I’m available before 6 AM in the mornings then I can go straight after I get out at 1 PM Monday-Friday. I can’t really answer this question because every pet is different based off of feeding schedules, exercise, medication, making sure they’re not going to hurt themselves, lastly making sure they’re comfortable.

“Wonderful dog walker. Treated my beagle with such care. Very sweet. My dog took to her immediately. She made sure he went potty and gave him snacks. Highly recommend! :)”


“Sam has been an absolute lifesave,r my sweet boy Tobias can be a little hard to get to know at first but she has been so patient and has been accepted into his pack. I can tell the difference coming home after she has spent some time with him, he is less anxious and a happier guy having someone visit him while I'm at work.I would highly recommend her to anyone that is concerned their dog might have trouble accepting a new member to their family.”


“Trustworthy, easy to communicate with, loves animals, Kelsey is awesome and I’d recommend her to anyone looking to have their animals loved and cared for!”

“Jazmin was super communicative, attentive to my baby’s needs, and followed each instruction provided! I’d definitely have Jazmin walk Beaux again if schedule’s aligned!”

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life and many cats. Your pet will be loved and played with by me and my two homeschooled, pet loving boys. I'm currently a stay at home mom and I'm homeschooling my children. I'm available most weekdays and some weekends. I'll be home with your pet most of the time. I have a small fenced yard and well behaved pets are welcome in my home. I have two cats. They can be separated from pets we're boarding if needed.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since I was a freshman in high school. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—feeding, walking, bathing, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently have two pups of my own—a playful Frenchie and an energetic Pit Bull—so I’m no stranger to managing different temperaments and energy levels. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just providing love and comfort, I treat every pet like family. Although I work full time during the week, pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it. I’m available on weekends from early morning to late night, and I can also do Friday evenings. I make sure to plan my schedule so your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. When providing drop-in visits or walks, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for in their own environment. I stick to their regular routine—whether that’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, or just some comforting company. For walks, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and I always prioritize safety and their unique needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure you stay updated with how they’re doing.

“Ashlynn is great!! She’s super responsive and kind. I’ve been using her for about a month now and it makes me feel so much better that I have her to walk my sweet Penny when I am at work.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life, especially dogs of all ages, including seniors with medical needs. I currently have an 18-year-old cat who requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable with administering meds and handling special routines. While I haven’t walked or sat for others professionally yet, I bring decades of hands-on experience with my own pets—treating each one like family. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and attention to detail. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, lots of attention, and flexibility with scheduling. I understand how important it is to keep dogs feeling safe, loved, and well cared for while their people are away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, timely care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins, or extended company, I can usually accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! I care for pets with the same attention and respect I give my own. At home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines, keep fresh water available, and provide enrichment through play, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to help pets feel secure and loved while you're away.
