Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.

Wonderful job taking care of our bunny. Daily drop ins were a success. She went above and beyond when our bunny ran out of pellets and ran to Petco for a refill. She even brought in our mail daily. She provided updates and pictures daily! I would totally trust Jenn in the future! She makes it easy to vacation knowing our bunny is in good hands.

Sara has been wonderful with Jett! She has cats of her own, so that really put me at ease. She is easy to communicate with and fast response which I really appreciate. She also sends pictures every check-in. I am thankful as I was first nervous about using this service.

About: I have had pets all of my life. I am a teacher so I am used to schedules, responsibilities, and caring for others with a high level of care. Our pets deserve to have the same love and care that they give to us! I am a teacher but will have plenty of availability in the summer months. I have early mornings, afternoons, and weekends otherwise during the school year. I am able to care for your pet in your home. I am happy to follow any necessary food, walking, and play schedules that work best for your pet and your family.

About: I have experience with high-energy dogs like doodles, as I have one of my own. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, so I’m able to keep dogs well exercised and engaged. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. For the month of May, I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays, and from 8 AM to 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting June 1, I will be working a full-time internship and will be available on weekdays from 6 PM to 10 PM, and on weekends from 9 AM to 3 PM. I care for pets in their own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise based on their energy level, while always keeping them securely leashed and monitored. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and any specific routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether they’re high-energy and need longer walks or more relaxed and prefer a slower pace. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always provide updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

About: With over three decades of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and versatility to ensuring the well-being of animals. My journey began with a deep love for creatures of all kinds, evolving into a lifelong commitment to their care, training, and happiness. From nurturing playful puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, I’ve mastered the art of meeting animals’ needs at every stage of life. My expertise extends beyond canines to include horse training and ownership, as well as caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and fish giving me a uniquely broad perspective on pet care. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across such a diverse range of species. Training puppies has honed my ability to foster trust, teach essential behaviors, and create lasting bonds using positive, patient methods. Caring for elder dogs has deepened my understanding of their unique needs, from mobility support to tailored nutrition, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and dignified. My work with horses has refined my skills in handling large animals, mastering their training with a calm, confident approach that translates to all species. Meanwhile, my care for smaller companions like rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets showcases my attention to detail, from crafting enriching environments to monitoring their delicate health needs. This diverse background equips me to adapt to any pet’s personality, needs, or challenges. I pride myself on creating safe, nurturing environments where animals thrive, whether it’s through customized training plans, meticulous health monitoring, or simply showering them with love. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to lifelong learning about animal behavior and care. With 30 years of hands-on experience, I offer not just expertise but a genuine passion for enhancing the lives of pets and their owners, making me a trusted partner in their care. As a former elementary art educator now a stay-at-home mom, I seamlessly blend my pet care experience into my daily routine, ensuring our animals thrive alongside family life. My flexibility and availability allows for a harmonious, pet-friendly environment with ease. Dedicated to care, love and enrichment, I ensure your pet’s safety, trust, and comfort in my home. My securely fenced yard includes a designated pet relief area, kept clean for hygiene. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs offer companionship, with interactions carefully monitored to suit your pet’s temperament. If crating is needed for rest or anxiety, I am happy to use your dog’s crate. My expertise spans puppies, senior dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and fish, allowing me to adapt to any pet’s unique requirements with confidence and care. I foster trust through transparent, personalized care, consulting with you to understand your pet’s routines, feeding, and preferences. My pet-friendly home is a safe, enriching environment, free from hazards, with spaces for rest, play, and feeding. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m present to provide constant supervision, ensuring your pet feels loved and secure. Regular updates and photos keep you connected, giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is thriving in my care.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.

Natalie was just fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet and my dogs instantly loved her. From the moment she met them I could tell she was a dog person and animal lover. Coordinating a drop in with Natalie was super easy. I really appreciate she was able to take my dogs for a walk with only a few days notice. You can't go wrong with Natalie!

About: “I have spent most of my life caring for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. Having a family pet is a true joy and blessing, and I understand how important they are to you. Life can get busy, but you can rest assured that I will care for your furry (or feathered!) friend as if they were my own.” I’m currently working part time so my schedule is flexible to help with your furry friends. My schedule is open M-F 8am-3pm and 4pm-7pm. Also available for overnights on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and a 2 year old rescue mixed breed Shepherd . If they get along great. If not I can crate my dog when your pet is in the house.

While we were away, a heat wave hit and temperatures at home rose into the 90s. Our indoor thermostat was still set for heat, but Valerie noticed the issue, proactively contacted us, and worked with us to switch the AC on. We can’t imagine how miserable our cats would have been without her attentiveness. We’re very grateful for her care and quick thinking!

Me and my boys (two senior male cats) are repeat customers of Jamie - and for good reason! Jamie is the best sitter... I never worry when I know Jamie is coming to visit as she treats my boys and my house as she would her own. She is also a pleasure to deal with, listens to instructions, and leaves great visit cards! Best of all, my boys are happy and peaceful when I return. I could not recommend more highly!
