“Kelsey took great care of our kitty boys (and was very kind to agree to care for them at the last minute!). She was great at providing us updates and sending pics while we were away, and I know my 2 cats liked her because we came home to happy kitties :) Would highly recommend Kelsey!”


“Rhiannon was really great with my cat! She did daily feedings and spent extra time playing with her, and sent me pics daily. I would definitely hire her again.”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life- currently have a 13 year old Morkie with Addison’s disease who is a very spoiled girl! I have experience dog and cat sitting I’m a physical education teacher on summer vacation looking to get some extra exercise. I have a very open schedule and am able to check on pets multiple times throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, and giving them exercise and playtime that matches their usual activity level. I also make sure to give them plenty of affection and attention, while respecting any specific training or house rules the owner has shared. I always keep the space clean and leave detailed updates with photos to give peace of mind. Safety is my top concern, so I stay alert to any changes in behavior or health and communicate with the owner immediately if anything seems off.

“Shelby does an amazing job with Hondo! He loves her and really enjoys spending time with her. Such a relief to have a kind, efficient and reliable person helping us with him. Thank you!”


About: I currently have a dog ( who is my baby) and 4 cats. I have learned so much about taking care of animals while caring for my five fur babies I am off for summer and typically have an open schedule. I will be back in school in the fall and will update my schedule. I do not have a fenced yard but I have plenty of grass to walk on leashes if needed. I’m happy to go to a dog park as well.


About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.
