About: I was born and raised with Dobermans by my side, but my expertise does not just span large dogs--but also small dogs, puppies, seniors, cats, and other furry friends. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter, taking care of my friend’s and family’s cats and dogs. I’ve ensured they’re well-fed, entertained, and they have taken care of business 💩. I’ve stayed at homes and made drop-in visits, so I can provide flexible care. I understand that your pets are like family members, so I’ll treat them with the same patience and respect they deserve! I am currently working part time at an office and applying for other jobs. I have a lot of extra time on my hands and I am looking to fill it by spending time with animals and getting my steps in! I am open for last minute bookings!!! I prioritize your pet’s comfort by following your specific care routine. My process begins by gaining your pet's trust through a calm, patient approach, ensuring they feel safe before we dive into anything. I like to keep the line of communication open with the pet parent to ensure transparency throughout the whole process. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and affection to minimize any anxiety they may face without their typical routine away from parents.

All I can say (write) are words of praise and gratitude for Lisa. She is Amazing! She is so attentive, considerate and truly super sweet. I received pictures and updates. My girl (dog) fell in love with Lisa, which shows and proves how well Lisa took care of her. Lisa not only fed my girl by my noted instructions, she also washed all of my pets feeding measurement cups. that was a detail that blew me away. I didnt ask for any of that. Lisa went above and beyond. It was really cold and Lisa walked my girl and let her enjoy a little outdoors. I didnt stress on my out of town travels as my girl (dog) was in good hands. I will definitely ask for Lisa’s services again and again. Thank you Lisa for everything.

Taryn is an incredible human. It’s so nice to be able to leave town and feel completely comfortable leaving your fur babies in such amazing care. She’s punctual, reliable, has fantastic communication and just goes above and beyond treating your pets like her own. One of a kind! ♥️

About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of my furry and not so furry friends!! I grew up in a home full of dogs and a vast range of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and other aquatic life etc. I’m currently working from home so my schedule is generally open as far as Monday-Friday. I’m available throughout the entire weekend as well. I like to keep the animals in my care on a schedule so they aren’t stressed, I prioritize (the animal’s) comfortability and structure because that’s just what makes sense. It’s my duty to ensure your furry friend can have fun AND be safe so please bombard me with any and all information!!!

About: I am a dog mom to two senior dogs, Chloe and Tuni. Tuni is a Doxie with IVDD and Chloe is a grumpy old lady. Both are my world and the light of my life! I am a special education teacher, who works during the day, but I am available on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. I am excited for a change of pace and look forward to working with your fur babies! I have a house with a fully enclosed yard and a finished basement. I am available for house-sitting or drop-in visits, depending on your needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have walked them, bathed them, cuddles , massages, gave medications you name it. I absolutely love the feeling and genuine love that dogs give so I protect and love them at all cost! A stay home wife with no children home currently, so I’m free a lot! Needing a new hobby I enjoy to consume my days now. I have small babies so the house is already baby proofed! Also can purchase whatever is needed to make them feel comfortable! Not big on dogs being in crates and cages but if that’s what your prefer that can be arranged as well! Long as the dog is comfortable I am happy!

Stephanie is highly recommended. She stayed at our home and cared for the dogs like they were her own. She took them to the dog park daily and played with them in the yard. She also texted daily and sent pictures. I'm already considering her for another job.

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

Perniall did great with our girls. It took no time at all for him to befriend our chronically suspicious chihuahua. He was diligent and really paid attention to our pups, getting to know their quirks - it was clear he was truly present with them and not just running through a checklist. He gave us helpful feedback, aiding in elucidating some blind spots we've had as parents. Specifically, he gave us some suggestions to get our big girl to slow down while eating to improve her postprandial comfort. He was in regular contact during our absence, giving us space but always ready to attend to our anxious requests for photos and updates. The dishes are all done and the place looks maybe better than we left it. Thank you, Perniall! I would recommend him to anyone looking for good hands to trust their beloved babies with.
