Lucy is an absolute gem! She is wonderful with our two shy cats, and is great at communicating. We are having to move to another state, and if it were possible to take her with us, we would in a heartbeat.

Maegan was so attentive and great to our cat. She followed directions and my cat loved the attention! My cat requires an oral medication and Maegan was able to give her medicine while I was gone. Maegan also was so considerate and brought in our mail/packages. We will be using her again!

Summer went WAY above and beyond when at a time when our cats were incredibly high maintenance. She was a great communicator, and showed compassion for our cats (and for my husband and I on our honeymoon)!

About: Hi! My name is Audrey! I am a former nurse and used to take care of humans for a living but am pursuing a career change. I now take care of fur babies, but my 7 years of nursing experience has taught me patience, flexibility, and safety skills (as well as making me an expert at cleaning pee and poop). I've been a dog owner and taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I've had multiple dogs growing up and currently own my 10-year old Golden Shepherd Mix rescue, Maxx. It brings me so much joy and happiness to meet any and all dogs/cats and to give them love and attention they deserve. I volunteer at the Humane Society to help socialize those dogs and give them love but also to gain experience meeting as many dogs as possible to learn more on how to identify dog behavior/body language and how to gain their trust when meeting a new person. I also love taking fun pictures, so you will get lots of pictures of your fur baby while you're gone. I also work part time as a barista and will occasionally be working 4 to 8 hr shifts periodically throughout the week, but with enough notice, I can try to adjust my schedule to accommodate for you if your pet can't be alone for long periods of time. I can't imagine a life without having a fur baby, and I hope I get to help take care of yours! I work part time as a barista and my schedule changes every week with shifts varying from 4-8hrs long at a time. With enough notice (usually about 2-3 weeks ahead ideally), I can adjust my schedule to try and accommodate for you especially if your pet can't be alone for long periods of time. I'm willing and able to do any day of the week! I'm fairly flexible, so I'll do my best to get my schedule to work with yours. I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with a lot of space to walk around the apartment complex. There is a fenced in dog runner at this complex too.

We had a meet & greet at my home before the needed drop in. I felt reassured that I had chosen a reliable, kind to pets gal. Emilia communicated back quickly, sent photo's & message. I plan on having her return when a future need for sitter or drop in comes.

Myah is excellent! She bonded so quickly and easily with our dog that it was immediate peace of mind for us. She was always on time for check ins and feedings and her pics and notes assured us our fur baby was well cared for. We highly recommend Myah!

About: I have taken care of dogs since my first dog “Beau” when I was 8 years of age. I’ve since had two beautiful adopted puppies. I look forward to training or assisting with any dog. I can assist with cats as well. My fiancé recently adopted a kitten, and the kitten then adopted me. I am available anytime to take care of your loved pet. I have reliable transportation and will be able to adjust to any schedule needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do walk to the beach every day. I also have a carriage that I walk my kitten in if that is needed.

About: I have experience caring for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping up with each dog’s normal routine. I understand every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give them the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I’m currently working around 30 hours a week. I work right down town in Saint Joesph Michigan. My schedule is very flexible. I work between five and six hour shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I care for pets in their own home based on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I already know how to give certain medications, train certain tricks, and take care of old dogs that might need an extra boost. Im also very willing to learn something I may not already know how to do! I also don't just take care of your pets but your home too, if you need plants watered, trash taken out, mail picked up... just let me know! I Currently work some weeks from 3pm-9pm Monday-friday but my schedule is not always this way. If your pet needs extra care during this time that is something we could work out aswell! I try my best to step into your shoes while you are away to keep your pets routine very similar to what they are used to, but I also try to do extra fun things with them so its like a mini vacation for them while you are on your vacation! I keep a happy environment for you and your pets.

About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.

Incredibly friendly and asked all the right questions. Took expert care of our pets and sent really cute photos that were above and beyond the usual "See? Your pet's not dead" pics. Will continue to use him as long as he'll let us!

About: I've watched and owned not only a German Shepherd for over 15 years, but also cared for exotic animals, such as F1 Savannahs throughout the duration of my life. I just recently retired from the Army summer of 2023. I'm kind of bored and would love to keep myself busy doing something I love. I own a single family home with a small backyard that your fur baby can have access to. With less than a mile if requested I can walk your dog to the dog park.

This was our first time having someone help with our dog since his diabetes diagnosis, and we were a little nervous, but Maegan was incredible. She was willing to learn and felt comfortable giving Oscar his insulin shot, which meant so much to us. It gave us the rare chance to enjoy a night out without rushing home for his 7:30 routine. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her again. Thank you, Maegan!

Rachel agreed on very short notice- like 2 days- to drop in our senior pup, Darla. This is the second or third time Rachel has helped out with caring for her while we go out of town. Hard for old girl to travel anymore. Since the last time Rachel came by, Darla has lost her hearing and now takes an arthritis medication twice a day. Rachel was on it! Darla was hesitant at first to come out of the room, but Rachel figured it out and got our girl taken care of. Rachel is AWESOME!! Thank you so much for helping out on short notice!! ❤️
