About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am fortunate to make my own schedule a lot of the time, giving me plenty of time for pet care! I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.

“Breanna was fantastic. Great communication, care and concern for Lunas wellbeing. Would absolutely book again.”
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family since I was a preteen! I am compassionate, reliable, and fun loving. As many of my closest pals have pups of their own, I would consider myself a professional pet-auntie! I look forward to becoming a trusted caretaker and friend of your beloved furry baby too! I am an English teacher, so I have a very flexible schedule during the day during the summer! I like to spend time outside, running, reading, watching movies, or getting coffee with friends. If your pet is down for an adventure, I will take them anywhere they want to go with me. I am available for whatever in home services you need- from dropping in for walks or visits, to staying to keep your fur baby company all night. For those looking for overnight services, I work as a waitress in the evenings (4 nights a week), so your pet(s) must be okay being alone 6-8 hours. However, nights that I do work, I prefer to chill at home during the morning/afternoon. So your baby won’t be missing any TLC<3 I have experience caring for dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me that your pup will get the specialized care (and lots of love) they need while you’re away!
About: I have never not had a dog my entire life! Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I have always loved dog sitting because I just love meeting new fur babies. I have 3 dogs of my own with my parents. Most recently our 4th and most special fur baby (he’s been with me since i was 5) Crackers crossed the rainbow bridge. He was in diapers and needed no slip socks and other sorts so I am experienced in that department if needed. I am experienced with all dog sizes, I have one massive boy austrialian shepard (Graham) , a girl mini austrialian shepard (Dolly) and a girl chihuahua mix (Ritz). People have always said I am the dog whisper because I have never met a dog that does not like me. I love to throw frisbee and ball with my aussie the 2 girls though would rather just sun bathe then run around. I have had to deal with very crazy dogs like my sisters who need a trazadone once a day and can jump over fences and have had to chase after a few times so I am very patient and well adversed. I currently work full time for my disabled uncle. He goes to a day program Tuesday and Wednesday so that would be the best time for long or short dog walks! I still have availability Monday Thursday Friday and then some weekends for doggy day care or just visits to let your fur babies out or anything else! So my schedule can be pretty flexible. I have 3 friendly dogs and fenced in back yard at my parents house as well as another fenced in back yard right across the street from my parents that doesn’t have dogs. It’s my handicapped uncles house where I live with him, he doesn’t have any dogs but loves to meet new fur babies and would love one of his own but has lots of niece and nephew pups that come to visit. He has 1 medium and 1 large dog crate if needed! So if you would like for your dog to mingle with mine I can take them to my parents house with fence or if you don’t want them with any other dogs I will take them to my uncles house with fence where he would love to meet them!

About: I treat pets as family, ever since I was a little kid I didn’t care of my pets myself, and I’m the first one my family and friends called to watch their pets when they’re out of town. I believe that pets deserve our love and attention because the happiness that they give us is immeasurable. Our best friends. What would we do without them?? I work Monday through Thursday and get off at 4:30 Mom- Thursday will be challenging for anything but playtime and potty breaks.

Aside from a few trips, I am very available throughout this summer. In my home, I have a fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and exercise. I have one dog as well, she is crate trained. When caring for pets in my client's home, I follow their specific routines and preferences to ensure a comfortable and familiar environment for their pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I love to take dogs on walks, give them lots of love and treats.

About: Life long dog owner/lover. Unable to be owned by a dog presently, and miss the company of interacting with a dog. Would provide only the highest level of care in a clean and safe environment. Lost our 11 yr old dog suddenly 6 months ago, and miss his company daily. Always chose home care for him when needed and think it's the way to go if possible. Yard is not fenced, so leashed walks would be provided.

“Lin watched our 4 cats last summer while we were in Spain for 2 weeks. Each cat was on a different dietary plan and Lin followed the plan perfectly. They came in twice a day and played with all the cats and sent adorable pictures and videos. They also cleaned the litter boxes regularly and took care of our waste disposal. I would highly recommend Lin as a pet caregiver and they would be my highest choice to watch our cats again.”

I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!!”
Donna E.
“Donna and Warren have always had dogs but recently their last dog past away. They are heartbroken but because they are new grandparents and their grandchild does not live in the area, they travel quite often to see him. Because of this, they have decided not to get another puppy. I think with all their experience with their own dogs, they would make excellent pet sitters. They are wonderful people and very compassionate. I would have no problem leaving our pets with them . ”
