About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born and couldn't imagine a life without them! I currently have two dogs in my home, a frenchie and a rescue mix, who are both well-trained and sweet as can be! I have trained several puppies and am experienced and comfortable with giving medications, bathing, and grooming as needed. I have also taken care of my friend’s cats for extended periods of time. My house has a large fenced yard for playtime and the dogs get daily walks. Feel free to ask any questions! Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies 🐶🐱 I currently work 36 hours/week but I am home Friday-Sun and have plenty of flexibility during the week. I do have a roommate who is around the house for part of the day when I am working and she is great around all animals and is free to assist with pet care. Between the two of us we have plenty of time to play with and spoil your babies! I have a large fenced yard for playtime and 2 dogs of my own who love all animals and will be sure to keep your fur babies company! My dogs are free to roam the house, but I am able to crate your animals when I am gone if that is what you wish. I am flexible to meet whatever your needs are!
“Christina was responsive, flexible, and left the house looking exactly as I left it! I trust her completely with my doggie and my home. Thank you!”
“Montana was absolutely amazing! She had to deal with our high energy pup during bad storms and snow and was extremely helpful. She is the sweetest human and Von loved her. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Lacy is fantastic. She did everything we asked of her and then some. She kept our home clean and tidy. With three dogs that’s difficult to do. We cleaned the house before we left and it was just as clean as we left it. Maybe even more clean. Our dogs were well taken care of. She followed up with lots of pictures and updates. It was clear that she played with them, and showed them a lot of attention. She spent most of her time at the house, so they weren’t cooped up alone. We are so happy with the care that Lacy took of our beloved dogs and home. I highly recommend her as a trusted and capable person to take care of your home and pets.”
“Did so great with our babies! Even when they didn’t feel good took time and so patient with our oldest that she’s her new bestie! Means so much to us that they are taken care of! Went above and beyond when we needed someone back last minute she came right back to help our babies! Will use as long as she lets us!”
About: I have had animals my entire life. Solely being responsible for the care of livestock for multiple years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, and fish. I work 8-4 on weekdays with full availability on weekends! On weekdays I will be available for drop ins and walks after leave my job! I abide by any instructions that I am provided.

About: I've been around pets my whole life they are the best thing ever created. I've had a 3 dogs and about probably 13 cats in total growing up. Animals are my passion. I've always taken care of my fur babies before myself. When it comes to my fur babies - they have been a part of my life for nearly a decade. Whether its my own, families, or friends - I'm always striving to offer my attention and care to making sure our four legged friends are not only taken care of but shown love. I'm blessed that I routinely get to balance my week by reducing the burden on pet parents seeing more of my furry friends! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard and a cat that is a sweetheart. I treat other people's pet like my own.
“Lilith was extremely communicative throughout her stay and provided regular updates and photos. She made me feel extremely comfortable knowing our fur babies were in her care!”
About: I previously worked as the Kennel Manager at a doggie daycare and boarding facility, where I oversaw all back-of-house operations. I was responsible for ensuring every dog received top-quality care, from feeding and medication to exercise and enrichment. My role included supervising staff, maintaining a safe and clean environment, and making sure each pup felt loved, secure, and happy throughout their stay. As a full-time nursing student with a true passion for animals, I understand the importance of attentive, compassionate care. Your fur babies will be treated like family—loved, safe, and well cared for every step of the way. Their comfort and happiness will always come first. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for your pets with care and attention to detail. Giving your fur babies the best possible treatment isn’t just a goal—it’s my standard. Their comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priority.
“I recently hired Ian to watch my beloved fur babies while I was away for the weekend, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. From the moment he started caring for my dogs, I could tell he truly loves animals and was committed to making sure my pets felt comfortable and cared for. He sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It's always nerve-wracking leaving your pets with someone new, but I could tell my dogs was in good hands with him. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always loved and have always had animals my whole life. I just love animals and nature overall and most animals love me right back! :) I grew up with my first dog from age 1-5 then I’ve had a bunch of aquatic animals, chickens, bunnies, ducks, turtles, even more dogs and recently had my first cat! I’ve taken care of friends and family pets as well and we always have a great time. I recently moved so my animals aren’t here and I’d love to care for someone’s else’s in the meantime. I now have a pet kitten that we adopted here in Hawaii🥰 He stays in our room for the most part because he still doesn’t rest like venturing around the rest of the house, so he won’t be in the way if I have other animals over. Unfortunately I cannot sit any pit bulls, Rottweilers, or wolf hybrids. I currently work from home and can give all my time to pet care if need be. I’m used to taking care of animals of all ages and different breeds, so I can cater to pretty much whatever your fur baby will need. ***HAS MILITARY BASE ACCESS*** I live on base and I have a small fenced in backyard that they can play in or we can go for a walk around the neighborhood. There’s a really big open area that I love walking around where no one else really goes so it would be nice for animals to walk around there. Other than that your baby will be inside of the house, there’s a bunch of space so they can pretty much go wherever until it’s time for a walk. I also have space for crates if need be.
