“Monica is amazing. She is professional and dedicated. She makes my dog gets walked in a timely even when weather conditions aren't optimal. My dogs loves her.”
About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.
About: I have five cats and a lizard at the moment. We have also had many dogs boarding with us in our home for the last three years. I will be starting college in the fall and need some part time flexible work to meet college expenses. With college classes I will have the flexibility to take great care of people's furry friends. I will exclusively visit pets in their own homes. I have a flexible schedule due to college classes. I am also available for house sitting.

About: {I do watch after cats as well. } I've been tree hugger of every type of animal for as long as I can remember and simply taking care of our four legged friends brings me nothing but joy and happiness. I've been with the same little pup for the past 7 years and he is now 8. Sadly, the first year of his life he belonged to a puppy mill and I've been working on his social skills ever since. After I had him adopted, he would just shiver and cower away from me. He wouldn't warm up to anyone and would just sleep away in the back of my closet. Since then he has improved to a healthy, loving dog that I play with on the daily. All dis deserve some love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. Whenever it was ensuring they get plenty of exercise, attention, a bath, or a spot to relax. Any dog that comes in my care can be certain they get whatever they need. I currently work a rotating schedule so my hours will differ depending on the day. I am available Mondays in the afternoon, Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day, Thursdays and Fridays in the mornings. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love to run around outside. I can also accommodate if your pet needs to be separated and/or crated
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m confident handling big breeds, and I know how to read animal body language to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed. What sets me apart is how much I truly pay attention to each pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to them. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular pics and messages so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pup has special needs, anxiety, or is still learning — I’ve got you. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work part-time Thursday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. My schedule allows me to give pets lots of attention before and after work, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to crate time or medications if needed. I always keep a close eye on pets, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of space to relax and feel at home. Safety is always my top priority.
About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 19 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am currently in school from Tuesdays - Thursdays, 8 am - 6 pm so they have plenty of water and food while I'm gone and a doggie door to go in and out as they need. With pet owners, I can only schedule from Fridays - Mondays at any time of the day that you need me. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have a dog named Scrappy who inspired my passion for pet care. Through him, I’ve learned how to connect with dogs of all temperaments and understand their body language, needs, and routines. I have experience with basic puppy training (crate, potty, leash walking) as well as caring for senior dogs who need patience, gentle movement, and medication. I offer calm, one-on-one attention in a cozy environment that feels like home. Every dog I care for gets the same love and respect I give Scrappy. I just graduated high school, so I have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule! I work a part-time job with plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love spending time with animals, whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or cozy evenings in. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust to your dog’s needs and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs can feel safe and relaxed—no overcrowding, no chaos, just lots of love and attention. I’m careful with introductions, keep doors secure, and always supervise playtime. If I’m in your home, I follow your routines closely and treat your space with the same respect I give my own. I pay attention to details, give regular updates, and make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“Shannon was able to groom my cat, Snowball. He is a long haired black cat and he wasn't cleaning his area above his tail, and even with brushing, he still got some matting. Shannon was able to use thinning shears and take out the matting, and make his fur look nice and smooth. he was so soft afterwards! I'm sure he is so much happier! She did not snip him, and while he was scared, Shannon was able to keep him calm. Thank you!”

If he needed to stay overnight, he will show the utmost respect for your home. He cares and it shows, your pets will be in excellent hands with Bryce!”
