About: My household has always had a furry friend in it since the day I was born from small ankle biters like Chihuahuas to hefty cuties like my current Bully Pit that I can safely wrestle in some horseplay. Puppies, seniors, we don't discriminate 'round here! I don't mind getting my hands dirty and have small experience in clicker training younger pups along with an energy to match whichever personality I'm given. A boundless Collie? We can play all day! A sleepy old Bassett? We can chill with some TV. I'm not above being put to work either. Give me a litter box to clean. Give me medicine and I'll make sure it's getting swallowed. Toss a cat my way as well why doncha? I worked as a cat caretaker during my fall and spring semesters in Auburn University, as well as own a lovely kitten named Autumn, so having a feline to shake things up would be a nice treat! Trust me, my hands have a good pain tolerance. Beyond that, I know it costs major bucks to look after your pets. Or pay someone ELSE too. Sometimes a week stay for a pet can run up to $500! That's why you come to me. I offer affordable rates because I'm more concerned with the passion than the money. I have multiple pets of my own and I know the chip they can put in my wallet just from vet visits! So I won't let it get in your way! 🤠 I've graduated happily from Auburn University with a degree in Animal Sciences and am settling into a new job. This means that while I'm happy to take on new clients, my schedule is sporadic as it's determined on a weekly basis. It also means I will be gone for many hours at a time. My current work schedule and thus how long I'd be busy for Aug 11-17 is: Mon: Free Tue: 4-9:30 pm Wed: 5-9:30 pm Thurs: 5-9:30 pm Fri: 3-9:30 pm Sat: 4-9:30 pm Sun: Free Safety is a non-negotiable when it comes to our furry friends. Just like I do with my own pals, I stay by them at all times when outside and encourage their attention with toys or loving scritches when they're not doing their business. If push comes to shove, I am capable of safely wrestling an overzealous dog into calming down or tightening the 'ol leash if need be. With cats, responsibly scruffing rarely fails. Inside, unless stated otherwise where they're allowed to park themselves, I stay with my little friends on the floor and can crate them if specified to do so when it's bedtime. If they're free roamers, I let them tag along where I go! Except the kitchen. I also welcome animals who require daily or periodic medication. Bear in mind I charge $10 per day of administering medication, and it would cover all required meds for that day. Rest assured your friend will be taken care of!

“I'm very happy with how my two dogs were cared for. One has a persistent problem with one of his ears, and she was very consistent with looking after it and giving him his medication when needed. Probably more consistent than I am normally. Usually by the time I get home his infection has gotten worse and requires a lot of attention to get it back under control. But this time he was his usual self when we got home!”


“I cannot say enough good things about my first experience with Maegan. This was my first time using Rover, and my first time leaving my cat for several days. From the very first check in, I knew I left him in good hands. She was EXCELLENT. Detailed updates with tons of pictures. I will most definitely be using Maegan in the future, exclusively.”


“Stephanie was fantastic with dropping in on our cat when we were out of town! She logged detailed notes about her visits, took pictures each visit, and was diligent and thorough. Would absolutely hire her again and would recommend her to anybody.”


About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.


“Atrisha was absolutely the best! She went above and beyond. We had never left the dogs with anyone before other than family. She was so wonderful to the dogs. They were comfortable with her. We were comfortable with her. She gave us complete peace of mind so we were able to enjoy our trip.”


About: I’ve been a proud dog lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, cuddling with a senior dog, or giving a shy rescue some extra patience, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently attend Bishop State as a student athlete, with all my classes being online, which gives me plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable. I have a safe, fenced yard for dogs to play and explore, along with cozy indoor spaces where cats can relax. I prioritize clean water, proper feeding, and plenty of attention so your pets feel secure and loved.


“Courtney was 100% professional from the start. She was communicative, quick to respond (to initial request, questions, a change in the stay plan, etc.) and very clearly is a dog lover! Courtney made drop in visits for Molly while I was away for the weekend, and sent pictures throughout the time I was gone and updates. She also pulled my mail inside (THANKS COURTNEY!) and kept me informed of how things were going. When I returned home, Molly was happy and relaxed. I look forward to having Courtney care for Molly and her brother, Senna, in the future!”


About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.

About: We are a recently retired couple with 50 years combined experience raising children with a variety of pets. Now we have a loving, playful rescue dog that gets our full time attention. We are home all the time. We also engage and play with our pets all the time. We have plenty of toys to keep them amused too. Our large back yard is fully fenced and safe and clean at all times. We constantly clean up debris. We monitor playtime and meals to make sure they are safe at all times.

“Sophie was fantastic! She really cared about my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. She even offered to take him on walks since he loves going outside. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and I can tell my cat liked her too! Highly recommend!”


About: I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, heart worm positive dogs, escape artists, professional nappers, mouthy labs, big mountain dogs, small spaniels, dogs with a daily grooming need and dogs prone to needing bathed. I love dogs of all kinds and will follow care instructions to the T to ensure any dogs I watch are safe, loved, and given the best to maintain their health. I work part time and have a flexible schedule - even on my busiest days our six pups aren't locked up for more than 5 hours. My husband and I joke that one of our hobbies is dogs. With our large backyard, our dogs get about an hour or more in the morning, midday, and again in the evening to play, sniff, and lounge outside - not to mention any additional potty trips or sniff breaks they ask for throughout the day! We have a large fenced in backyard with a playset, outdoor furniture, and a kiddie pool set up for the dogs to use. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed, and we have a spare bedroom we turned into a dog lounge space. We have crates to keep our younger or more mischevious dogs safe when we leave the house and have additional crates for medium and large sized dogs that come stay with us. We can also set up your own dog(s) crate(s) in a separate room if your dog needs a quieter environment. We do have 6 dogs that range in size from 50-75 pounds - they loved cuddles, chasing each other around the yard, and stealing our spot when we leave the couch. None are toy or crate/bed posessive and we separate the dogs while the eat so the speedy eaters aren't tempted to steal the others food!

About: I grew up on a ranch in Montana, we had dogs, cats, chickens, cows, basically our own petting zoo. I love animals and I believe they deserve love and attention. I’d be happy to provide that for your pets! Reach out regarding schedule. I can be relatively flexible with check ins 2-3 times per day. I’ll be able to spend more time before or after work with your pet. I can walk, play with, feed, water, depends on what your needs are, and the needs of your pet. I believe in respecting people’s wishes and homes while making sure their pets are well taken care of.

Danielle T.
“Brooke T is an animal lover, of all sorts. She was raised around dogs & cats as an infant, & cattle as a toddler. She took dog showmanship, obedience & agility classes with her 1st Border Collie pup through several years in 4-H. In College she purchased her 2nd, a Blue Heeler pup. She loves being around animals & is very attentive to their personality, behaviors, surroundings. She loves to play & introduce the dogs to new games or tricks. Animals tend to be drawn to her, & she makes it her goal to befriend the most hesitant or shy one, …patiently & gradually.”
