“Raelee was amazing with my puppy, Wrigley. She was on time, dedicated time to helping with inconveniences, and was very communicative! I will recommend her a million times over and over, she’s the best!”

About: I’ve had pets for majority of my life and they’ve always been my responsibility, I’ve had a variety of pets and currently have my own dog, an English pointer and am hoping to expand the pet family with guinea pigs. I have a high maintenance dog myself and know the time and effort it takes to care for your pets. I would love to be an additional asset In providing your pet with quality care I am working part-time as a caregiver and have plenty of free time on my hands when I’m not working my 2 days a week. I do tend to work additional shifts on the same days, every Monday and some Tuesday’s. I will additionally buddy some days along for the ride, my 14 month son in an effort to enjoy the outdoors more while providing a needed service to those who want an extra hand. I will provide doggy bags and clean up after your pet as well
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.
“Our family really appreciated the care and professionalism Olivia provided. Our cats have never been happier, even the scaredy cat! We would definitely welcome her back to our home.”

“I've used Michaela for years now and and not only do I trust her with my 4 cats, but my house as well. This last trip took 10 days and not only did she come in and feed, water, clean litter boxes, but also brought them new toys and treats, and made sure my house was presentable for prospective buyers.”


About: I have always had a love for all kinds of animals. Ive enjoyed watching family and friends pets as well as caring for my own pets in my apartment. I'd love to get to know you and your unique pet and make them feel even more loved and appreciated. I have past background knowledge on pet nutrition,hygiene and behavior traits. I am currently starting school in March to gain my pharmacy technician certification, I would have open availability to provide assistance for you and your pets. I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend. Maze eats 2 times a day once in the morning and once in the evening with a snack (can of tuna/shredded chicken) in the afternoon. Maze talks walks in a harness to provide safely,we do have an extra! I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!
“Lucas was great! Our shy pup offered a small kiss right away. We got wonderful updates and pictures with each visit and he was always on time. We will be using Lucas again, for sure.”

Nail trimming I can do if they aren't scared of the clippers. My baby girl is but I still do it.
About: As an insurance agent I look forward to my afternoon walks. So why not enjoy them a lot more with your furry family member. I have always had a dog and have two now. I enjoy walking, running and playing with them just like I will enjoy playing and walking your dog or dogs. I'm adult, responsible, love dogs and am even an Eagle Scout :) I have a life time of experience with dogs and always seem to be their favorite at friends houses and parties. I look forward to sharing my day with your dog :) Whether I'm just dropping by to let them out or exploring the neighborhood on a nice walk in good or bad weather. I look forward to making both your dogs and yours acquaintance. I have a super flexible schedule so I can make meeting and playing with your dog a priority. I work all over the city and am able to get to all parts of town. When taking care of your pet I will be fully engaged with them. I don't just let them out the door. I play, pet and make sure your dog is happy and having fun.
“Ali was great to work with. She let us know when she was on her way and sent pictures of our fur babies every time. Process was easy. This will allow my wife and I to go on more vacations. Would highly recommend Ali I We will be using her again soon.”

About: I am a caring, easy going, and loving individual who loves to spend his days hanging out with animals! I have two pups of my own, and several niece and nephew cats/dogs. Theater is a hobby, but animals are my passion! I am a theater/history major and am home during the day Monday-Friday. I spend around 3-4 hours a evening working on plays. However, do take note Saturdays I am typically gone for a few hours in the afternoon-evening. I have enough time to love, care for, and play with your babies! I specialize in caring for elderly and high energy dogs. I have worked with multiple Belgian Malinois and dog sit for a family that has two Belgian Malinois, and a Great Pyrenees. Both of which have drastically different lifestyles. I play with, care for, and love on each animal differently depending on its needs! I had a dog with diabetes who got three injections a day. This required a schedule that was easy for me to pick up on!
