“This was the the fourth time we had Breanna come for drop-in visits to our outdoor cat and as always she followed all instructions, showed our kittie love, and was great in communicating all the essentials. Highly recommend Breanna for either cats or dogs. Very reliable and really cares about your animals as though they were her own.”

We will definitely be asking her to check on the boys on our next trip.”

About: I have a little orange cat and three dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages in my home. I also recently had one of my senior pups cross the Rainbow Bridge. My pets are my kids, and I would do anything to ensure they receive the best care possible when I’m away from them. I understand how much anxiety goes into choosing someone to look after them and then wondering if you made the right choice. Rest assured, that with me you are working with someone who has spent his whole life care for his own pets as well as other people’s pets. Over the years I’ve gained experience in senior dog care, palliative care, puppy and kitten care, adult dog and cat care, dog walking, pet sitting, large group daycare, and bottle feeding and administering medication. I take pet care extremely seriously because animals matter to me and I know how much your care about your by virtue of you being here. Although I don’t feel comfortable quite yet in labeling myself a dog trainer, I’m on a journey to become one someday as well. Pet care is my full time job. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be able to do this for a living because I truly love my work. I work every day, so as long as I have availability, we can make a schedule work. All I ask is that you understand that I do have several clients, so I need some flexibility to align everyone’s schedules and to plan accordingly. In my client’s home, I care for their pets in the way that they request. That’s why meet and greets are so important so we can go over all the details of what you want to see in terms of caring for your pet. I always do my best to follow instructions to a tee and will read anything you leave or send me.
“Angel was great with all of our babies! Our cats unplugged the auto feeders and she was able to pivot on the spot and start feeding them manually. I definitely recommend her! Our dogs seem to have loved her too!”
“We had to fly out for a three-day trip on very short notice. We have two cats: a 13-year-old diabetic orange cat who we call our "love sponge," and a thee-year-old lever, mischievous tortie. Morgan understood the assignment. She had not given insulin to a cat before. I showed her how to do it, left written instructions, and all insulin doses went well. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned. My diabetic cat had a veterinarian appointment when we returned, and his glucose and neutrophils were within a good range.”
About: I’ve provided pet sitting services for friends and family for the past few years I’ve made it a point ensuring that they receive the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, and providing companionship to your fur babies. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your fur babies while you are away. I am currently working a part time job with the flexibility to be able to accommodate you and your fur babies needs when you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on fun and stimulating walks. I enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and special needs to provide the best care possible.
About: I grew up with many pets in my life, German shepherds, cats, fish, and even reptiles to name a few. Animals have always gravitated toward me and I feel as though we have a special bond. I’ve always taken care of friends and family’s pets through out the years. I’ve rescued 2 geriatric dogs in the last 6 years. Sadly they’ve passed but I was so happy to have given them a great home for the last few years of their lives. I’ve always had a soft spot for older rescues, every dog deserves a happy life. I’m currently going to school part time so have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I work part time as well and have plenty of availability. I have learned over the years that pets just like people are all individuals and shown love/ care differently. They all have different personalities and need to be treated as such.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, fishes, and rabbits. I’m very caring, and loving, with every animal I'm around. My family and friends always come to me first when they need their pets taken great care of. Every animal that comes into my home is loved like my own and admired by myself and my family. I'm a stay at home mom who has reliable transportation so anything fits my schedule. I'm very open to changing anything for your pets needs. I have a fenced yard for playing and potty breaks. When I'm in others homes I am very aware of the dogs needs to keep them fed and safe

Anytime we see her out on a walk, my boy is beyond thrilled to see her, and honestly more than he is to see me sometimes lol. I cannot recommend her enough!”
