About: I have 8 years of experience being a veterinary assistant and 10+ years of caring for dogs/cats of my own. I’m capable and more than happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may require! I have a lot of experience with oral and injectable medications. I’ve cared for pups that have had epilepsy, dietary restrictions, and anxiety or other behavioral concerns. I currently have class sporadically throughout the week but my husband works from home and is happy to fill in any gaps I may be away from the house. We are both happy to devote weekends entirely to your fur baby. My husband and I can be available select weekdays and can be flexible around your schedule with a little heads up! We have a large fenced in yard and two friendly pups of my own to keep your pet company. I’m also happy to work with your pup on training or learning new tricks.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

“Matthew showed up as scheduled to walk Oakley to give him a potty break and some excercise. After their walk he fed Oakley his lunch. It is so nice to know Oakley was care for while we are work. We will use him again.”

About: I've had animals all my life. From cats to dogs to hedgehogs. It's always been important to me to show animals how much they're loved and appreciated because they have feelings too. I am 19 but didn't really start actually feeding a walking my animals until I was older to do it with my family. When I go to my friend's house I always love taking the dogs on walks, drives, or even just cuddling. I've experienced all animal ages from puppies/ kittens to senior dogs. I am currently on summer break from college. I will be a sophomore in the fall. I have a cat and family dog. My cat tipsy is who I take back to college with me. I wake up, feed him, play and cuddles then he usually naps and does his own thing. I clean his box and then feed him at dinner time. Same goes with my dog Lucy if my parents need me to give her, her medicine if they aren't there. They're both lazy and keep each other entertained so I have so much time throughout the day. I am very good with instructions and directions. if animal needs medicine I am great with that; my dog also takes medicine morning and night. If needing crating when I leave that's great too. I'm good with what ever you need my help for.

About: My husband and I have always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up around pets taught us both how to care for them with patience and love. Together, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. We’re comfortable giving medications and sticking to routines. We’re calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets fits naturally into our routine because my husband and I genuinely love spending time with animals.

Our flexible schedule lets us give pets the attention and consistency they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, check-ins, or overnight care. Whether in our home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. My husband and I follow routines carefully, give lots of love, and let pets adjust at their own pace. We always respect your home and treat your pet like family.

About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals. I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family, neighbors and friends have entrusted me to walk, feed, and sleep over with their pets. I have trained my past 3 dogs since they were puppies to all behave properly off leash, and listen to all commands. My current dog has a set schedule we adhere to, which includes play time, feedings, and walks. Pet care is part of my daily routine as I have a dog of my own. It is something I am just used to now. We have a daily routine, and then throughout the week I will take my dog out in public with us at least twice to practice more training. I have a dog who loves to play that will keep your fur baby company. If need be, I can crate your dog as well. We have a closed in play area and a nice walking area.

Zoey T.
“It’s truly a pleasure to write a reference for my friend Zoey. She is one of the most dependable, kind-hearted, and driven individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Whether she’s stepping up to help someone in need or throwing herself fully into a project, Zoey leads with both compassion and purpose. Her ability to balance empathy with accountability makes her someone that others naturally turn to and trust. Zoey brings a sense of calm and confidence into every space she enters. She’s a great listener, an even better problem solver, and consistently approaches challenges with a level-headed and thoughtful mindset. I've seen her stay composed under pressure, offer support without judgment, and find creative solutions to even the trickiest situations. What sets Zoey apart is her genuine nature and unwavering integrity. She doesn’t just talk about values—she lives them. She’s the kind of person who will show up early, stay late, and bring positive energy every step of the way. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a teammate, friend, or collaborator. I’m proud to know her and even prouder to recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Not only does she make some of the most amazing gluten-free awesome dog treats, she truly cares about animals from the deepest part of her heart! Nothing would make her happier than to work with a family and their dog! My dog always loves to see her and knows that she always comes bearing treats!”
