“Awnna was awesome. Our cat became ill during our trip out of state. Awnna reported that our cat wasn't acting well and when requested got her to the emergency vet on a holiday. It was a situation nobody wants but Awnna handled it perfectly.”

“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our kitties! Mckenna was wonderful throughout the whole process - it was just easy. Great communication leading up to our vacation and during. We’ve got two cats: an older one, who is a bit more shy, and a younger one, who is rambunctious and pretty friendly with strangers. Mckenna was wonderful with both. She took the time with our older one to help coax her out of her shell, and she gave our littlest one lots of play time and snuggles. She gave great, detailed report cards that included pictures each day she came over. I’d definitely book with her again!”

“Emily checked in on all times that were discussed, and walked Captain on the check-ins. I enjoyed all photos of Captain with his bones, on his walks, or just hanging out. The accessibility that Emily had with my apartment was great with Captain being at home and feeling like he was home and loved. I appreciated that we could contact if we were running late or coming back early from vacation, so that we could time everything out. Overall, Captain enjoyed his time a lot with Emily, and I appreciated all check-ins and photos.”

“We are so lucky to have found Ashley. She goes above and beyond to care for our pups. Whether it’s a walk or just a drop in to feed and to take out for potty time, Ashley is patient and gives thorough reports of her visits. We have used her services many times now and will continue booking with her in the future. She really gives us peace of mind knowing our dogs are in good hands.”

About: Finishing up my Navy career as a Military Working Dog Handler. I did this for 5 years and loved training the dogs. I currently work from home which allows me more time for taking care of your pets! I have experience with all types of dogs along with emergency care training and basic medical needs. Any questions or special requests don’t hesitate to ask! I currently work from home so my schedule has become quite flexible. I am available most days and times. If you ever need to make changes I am almost always able to accommodate. On nice days I like to sit outside with the dog(s) while they run around and enjoy some sun. We have a 5 acre lot but live on a 20 acre lot that we have total access to.

“Emma was friendly and good with animals. She was able to get our elderly cat to take his medicine while we were gone. Would book again.”

“April came over in kind of a last minute scenario, but she still made it work and we came home to a very happy puppy dog later that day! April got Roxy all of her medications, fed her and loved her as I would of if I was home. I work for the railroad and have a wild schedule, and April was there to save the day! I highly recommend April; your pooch will love her!”

About: Experienced & Loving Dog Care | 14+ Years in Rescue, Training & Medical Care Dogs have always been at the heart of my life—growing up, they were truly cherished members of our family, and that philosophy guides how I care for them today. For over 14 years, I have worked hands-on in rescue shelter environments, giving me deep experience with dogs of every size, age, and background—from tiny toy breeds to gentle giants. My time in rescue has taught me patience, intuition, and deep compassion. I’ve had the privilege of working closely with extremely fearful dogs, including those rescued from puppy mills who had never known human touch or seen the light of day. Helping them learn to trust, feel safe, and discover the joy of just being a dog is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. What I Bring to Your Dog’s Care: Specialized & Behavioral Care: Experienced in basic dog training and working with a wide range of unique personalities (from energetic pups to timid rescues). Medical & Recovery Support: Proficient in administering oral medications (pills and liquids) and supporting dogs through physical therapy and post-op recovery. Family-Level Love: Every dog in my care is treated with the exact same warmth, attention, and affection I give my own. Dependable & Adaptable: I have a flexible schedule, pay close attention to detail, and follow your home and care instructions to the letter. (I also have experience in caring for small mammals and reptiles!) I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a safe, comforting, and fun environment while you're away! Pet care isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule; it’s central to my day to day life. With a flexible schedule, I am able to dedicate focused, quality time to the animals in my care without rushing. Whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, precise medication timing, or dedicated cuddle and play sessions, my routine naturally accommodates their specific needs. I prioritize consistency so your pet’s daily rhythms—feeding times, exercise, and rest—remain uninterrupted while you’re away. Safety and trust are the foundation of everything I do. Having spent over 14 years working in animal rescue, I am trained to maintain a secure, low-stress environment and anticipate potential hazards before they happen. In Your Home: I strictly honor your pet’s safe space and established routines. I keep doors and gates secure, ensure all foods and medications are safely stored, and strictly follow your home rules. Building Trust: I let pets approach me at their own comfort level, using positive reinforcement, soft body language, and patience—especially with anxious or rescue pets. Health & Safety: I am highly experienced in monitoring health cues, managing medical recoveries, and administering medications, giving you complete peace of mind that your pet and home are in capable, loving hands.

“She took amazing care of our dogs for 5 days, coming every day and spending a full hour playing with them and making sure they were happy and well cared for. She is reliable, kind, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We would highly recommend her!”

About: Hello I have been taking care of all sorts of pets since I was very young! I have experience with potty training, crate training, walking, and lots of play time. I also can give any puppers bath if need be. I also have experience with cats and many other small animals. I am free all week as I stay home with my 4 kiddos. I have 2 young kids that are 2 and 3 years old and my other 2 are 9 and 12. I always make sure that my pets and anyone else's pets are fed at a certain time, made sure they get their walks and exercise, but also make sure they get their cuddle time as well. I also make sure that they have water on hand at all times.

“Hailey was amazing! She was super responsive and agreed to watch my dog last minute over Labor Day Weekend and was a lifesaver. She sent plenty of pics and let me know how Delilah was doing and what they got up to on her visits. I will absolutely be reaching out again in the future!”

About: I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, house sitting and plant sitting if needed. I have a senior cat myself and two other younger cats but I also grew up around dogs and love to dog sit and take dogs on walks when the weather permits. My schedule is usually very flexible. I’m a full time student and I’m working part time from home in the Miami area. As long as I have a solid Wi-Fi or data connection for a hotspot I’m good to go. If there isn’t already explicit instructions my usual schedule would be to walk the dogs every 2-4 hours (puppies more than that till their potty trained) and feed the animals as instructed. Cats and dogs both need their daily playtime as well. I’m willing to spend the night if you’d prefer or just come and spend the workday with them 12+ hours a day.

“Kirstyn was fantastic with my elderly dog! He is slow and needs encouragement at times to get up and go outside, and Kirstyn handles this with ease.”

About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs. I understand it can be hard to trust someone new with your beloved pet, so please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or specific instructions. I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I’m flexible, understanding, and passionate about keeping pets happy and active. I look forward to meeting your little companion! PS you will see a lot of photos on my profile of my family golden doodle Coco, who is my whole world😌 I I often have the flexibility to work remotely and do grad school online which allows me to be quite adaptable. I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, all with very different personalities and needs. I’ve put a lot of time into training and creating a successful multidog household, which has given me experience with everything from basic obedience and leash manners to reactivity, resource guarding and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, using the training methods and equipment your dog is accustomed to, and adjusting my approach based on each individual dog. I understand that not every dog is a social butterfly, and I’m happy to give dogs the space, patience and structure they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your dog. I’ll care for yours with the same attention and respect I expect for my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care and medication instructions. I am not only certified in human CPR but also Red Cross Dog/Cat/Pet CPR and first aide certified. I’m also used to communicating clearly, so you can expect plenty of updates while your dog is in my care I’m an RN with a rotating schedule, which gives me several days off during the week and plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and plenty of attention! I am home most of the time and my husband works from home so someone will usually be here. With the occasional instances of going out a few hours at a time. We do keep our dogs crated while we are gone and have cameras on the kennel/dog room to keep an eye on them. I know every dog has their own routine, personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your established routine and any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates or training. I have experience with multidog households, reactive dogs and special-needs dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away

I work from 7:30-4 Monday-Friday I am available to stay at the house to be there in the morning for the pets. I will be there right after work. I unfortunately cannot watch pets at my place, but I can stay at your place or can just stop by to feed and let out.
