Sounds great pictures of the cat and I'm very grateful to her.”
“So happy to have found Lauren! She instantly bonded with my two cats during the meet and greet, and I could tell she truly loves animals.

They are like my children and getting the photos from her and seeing how happy my cats were with her around made my work trip something I could focus on. I wish I could give more than 5 stars - truly!”
About: I've taken care of pets a lot of times and I am sure I get along with them because I show them love and care every time I enjoy taking care of pets they make our planet a better place let's protect them as part of our family 🐾😉🐾. L.U.V.Pets if you need any help to take care of them just let me know I can take care them with responsibility if they need special cares medication etc I play with them as well in order to have fun and protect them
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of pets over the years. I grew up surrounded by animals - all of which needed daily care, love, and attention. Growing up on a farm taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and compassion when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or simply giving your pet company and comfort, I treat every animal like part of the family. I’m a stay at home wife so I’m free all day most days besides shopping and normal life. But I will always put the pets first and plan around them and their schedule! I will take them on many walks, potty breaks and play times. My yard is unfortunately not fully fenced, but I am more than happy to take them to a near by doggy park or play inside/go on longer walks.
About: From one fellow dog mom to another- I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and energy levels, whether it’s taking long walks, going to the beach, or visiting the dog park. I love getting active and making sure pups have both the exercise and mental stimulation they need. When it’s time to wind down, I’m just as happy snuggling up on the couch (if they’re allowed!) for a movie night or quiet companionship. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or senior — I meet them where they’re at and treat them like family every step of the way. I have been caring for friends, family and neighbors pets since I was about 10 years old, always providing them a friendly face and companion until their family returns to find a happy healthy tail wagging pup ready to be reunited with their person! I’ve also raised two dogs — a pit bull and a pit-lab mix — from 8-12 weeks old into adulthood, both of whom had anxiety and tummy sensitivities requiring special diets. That experience taught me not only how to care for pets physically, but how to support them emotionally, too — with patience, consistency, and love. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently in school finishing my accounting degree and only attend in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 1:30 PM. I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins before class, and afternoon/evening care after class. On weekdays I am not in class I am available for whatever fits your pets routine! I also offer weekend availability and overnight stays in your home for pets who do best in their own space. From early-morning potty breaks to evening feedings and medication routines, I’m able to work around your pet’s specific needs, energy levels, and schedule — whether that’s a puppy with crate training needs or a senior pet who enjoys quiet companionship. I provide pet care in your home, where your pets feel most secure and comfortable. I follow all care instructions to the letter — from leash protocols and feeding times to special diets, crate routines, and medication schedules. I take time to get to know your pet’s behavior, energy level, and comfort zone so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. For dogs, I always double-check gates, harnesses, and leashes before walks and keep them on a consistent routine. For cats, I’m attentive to litter box cleanliness, hiding spots, and signs of stress. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and loved — just like they are when you’re home!
About: Hi! I have a rescue cat and 2 rescue dogs, the last one being a foster fail. I've had cats and dogs since I was a kid. My life pretty much revolves around my animals and I would like to extend my love and knowledge to those in need of a reliable, responsible pet helper. I'm experienced in dog behavior, giving meds and basic training. I have read up about k-9 heimlich maneuver (never have had to do it though!!!). Hope to meet your fur baby!! I work part time 20 hours a week and am looking for a side job that I LOVE.. I love animals and it's a great thing for me I have a fenced yard but am currently no taking pets to my home as I have 2 dogs and a cat. I gladly will come to your home, whether for a walk, feeding, or just to play or pet and snuggle your pet and give them some company.

Karleigh D.
“Karleigh does great with my dog. She spent time making sure she was all pottied and had an energetic walk. My dog princess loves to sit and watch animals and set the pace of her walk depending on what new scents there are, Karleigh did great adapting to what Princess needed to be satisfied and tired from her walks. Karleigh also takes the time to play and make sure princess was stimulated with her toys and bonded well with treats and cuddles. Princess gets so excited to see Karleigh she tends to have an accident, but that just means karleigh does a wonderful job and is one of her favorite people to see.”
