I am pet CPR certified through American Red Cross. I’ve looked after cats, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish as well! My current dogs are a Shih-Tzu mix and an American shortie bulldog. I also have tons of experience with bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, and nail trims so feel free to ask me for grooming! I work in pet care full time so I can easily adapt my routine for your pets.

“Mckenzie was great!! She stayed and hung out with my dog while I was gone much longer than I expected and she sent me pictures which I love! Also she was very organized and timely! I definitely plan to use her more in the future and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.

“Sydni checked in with us daily- we appreciated the report cards with photo(s). She also vacuumed up cat litter so not tracked all over our house when we got home.”

About: I have a lot of experience helping close neighbors as well as my family watching over their animals such as cats,dogs as well as various reptiles! I currently am a stay at home mom and have a ton of time to spend with your dog or cat! We are also home bodies and tend to stay home on the weekends. I currently only have foster dogs from time to time and have a spacious fenced in backyard that dogs really enjoy! Our foster cats/ resident cats are all indoors and have their own space!

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

“Absolutely incredible sitter! Katelyn took care of my dog, Lola, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lola adored her from the very beginning, and it was clear every single day that she was in loving, capable hands. Katelyn went above and beyond—not only did she keep Lola safe, happy, and well-loved, she even taught her a couple of new tricks while I was away! She sent updates, was attentive to everything Lola needed, and treated her with the same affection and patience that I would. Coming home to a relaxed, confident dog who clearly had the best time was such a gift. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, reliable, and genuinely great with animals, I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She’s fantastic.”

About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.

“I liked that Jillian came to pick up the key and meet Macie and Honey. She sent updates on each visit. Macie liked her. When Jillian made her last visit, she left the door key on the table in the kitchen. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends, family, and neighbors. I also grew up around animals, so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I love making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my day because I’m home and available throughout the day. I enjoy giving pets the time, attention, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I make pets feel safe and loved by following their routine, giving them playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. Whether in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs part of my life since I was young. I’ve rescued, fostered, house/dog sat for friends and family for years. They rescue us too. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pup(s) for a day or multiple days, whether they are large, medium, or small. My priority is ensuring your dog feels comfortable in their own home while maintaining their routine—feeding, walks, medications, and all the little things that keep them happy and healthy. When caring for your pets, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to create a trustworthy, secure environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I respect their space and routine, ensuring that they are always safe, whether it’s keeping hazards out of reach, maintaining a calm atmosphere, or sticking to familiar routines.

“Jessika was the best! She last minute accepted checking in on my new puppy. She was very thorough in her note and did great with him🙂”

“Lauren took incredible care of our cats while we were out of town. From administering meds, to play time and treats, our boys loved spending time with her and we felt total peace of mind knowing they were in great hands with Lauren. She even moved in our packages from the rain without us asking, which she didn’t have to do but was much appreciated. We look forward to booking with Lauren again!”

About: Instead of "what sets me apart", I'll talk about a recent experience during the snowstorm. During the snowstorm, I had to pick something up. I was in my (previous) car, when a beautiful dog walked up to my window. Sometimes I feel like animals are telepathic, because it just felt like she was saying "Please help me". She was infinitely sweet, and adorable. That night, I spent 5 hours with her, getting her chip checked, getting people to give a damn about her, getting her to authorities for her to be reunited with her family, and hopefully spreading some warmth and love into her heart. I refused to end my night until I was sure she was safe. Extremely flexible. And I'm more than happy to accommodate any changes to your schedule. As long as we are communicating well, any day is available! Each individual pet is different, but I do my best to pay attention to each individual need. Some dogs want walks, some don't. All need attention (and reassurance if their family is leaving on a trip, or won't be back for a while).
