About: I’ve got the flexibility to give your pup real attention throughout the day (not just a quick potty break). I’m also super active, so whether your dog is high-energy or a nap champion, I’m here for it. I also prioritize routine — yours and your pup’s. Whether it’s feeding times, meds, walk schedules, or favorite bedtime rituals, I make sure their day flows just like it would at home. I’m not just showing up to check a box — I’m present, playful, and always tuned in to what your dog needs that day. I don’t just dog-sit — I build trust. And I can’t wait to love on your fur baby! I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pup the time, attention, and care they deserve. Walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles naturally fit into my daily flow — they’re honestly the best parts of my day! Whether I’m in your home or yours are in mine, I care for pets like they’re my own. I follow your routine closely — walks, feedings, meds, snuggles (lots of those!) — and create a calm, loving vibe where your pup feels safe and seen. I’m big on communication, big on trust, and always make sure your fur baby is loved on and looked after the way you would.
About: I am an experienced veterinary professional and responsible pet owner who will always ensure that every animal under my care is happy and healthy. I have 6 years of professional experience working with animals. I currently work remote as a Veterinary Care Specialist where I work alongside doctors and am responsible for doing tasks such as reporting changes in a pet’s behavior and health, discussing patient cases with doctors and referring doctors, and assisting pet owners with understanding their pet’s status reports, medical records, discharge papers, and after-care needs. I also previously worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant where I was responsible for doing tasks such as confirming symptoms, reporting suspected diagnoses, performing CPR and first aid, checking vital signs, expressing anal glands, examining stool samples, clipping nails, cleaning ears, and administering a variety of different oral, topical, and injectable medications. Besides my professional experience, I have 16 years of personal experience caring for animals as I have had many pets throughout my life. I currently have 2 dogs (one dachshund mix and one black mouth cur mix,) 1 rabbit, 6 guinea pigs, and 1 tortoise. I also previously had a golden retriever, a shiba inu, a bearded dragon, 2 ferrets, and 4 hamsters. In addition to all of this, I have even fostered 16 rescue dogs, raised 2 working dogs, and dog-sat numerous family / friends dogs. I have much experience working with animals of different sizes, species, breeds, and personalities and would love to continue to increase this experience by caring for your pet when you are unavailable and or away. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to further discuss my qualifications and availability. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work from home so I have much flexibility with assisting families with pet-care. For boarding and daycare, I will be able to provide pet-care 24/7. For dog-walking and visits, I will be able to provide pet-care every 4 hours or less, depending on how close the family lives from me. Pets under my care: As a pet-parent, I know how scary it can be when your fur-baby is under the care of someone else and so I will always be sure that not only is your pet’s safety a priority of mine but also your peace of mind. I will do everything I can to ensure that your pet is safe and receives the best care for their mental health, emotional health, and physical health. I will also send you frequent updates of your pet and will be sure to answer you within a few minutes of when you message me about your pet. Pet-care at my home: My apartment complex is a gated community that includes fields of grass and safely constructed sidewalks for walking. It also has both a “beach” area where dogs can dig in the sand and a fenced-in dog park where they can run and play off-leash. My apartment itself is a two bedroom with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, balcony (which is safe for pets,) and 6 cameras installed to help with monitoring pets in-house. Pets visiting my home will be staying in my living room where they can play, free-roam, and lounge on my sofa-bed or dog bed, when supervised. For the nighttime and when I have to leave my home without the pet (which would be unlikely,) they will be in my gated-off kitchen and will have their very own large-sized dog bed, toys, food bowl, and water bowl. For the nighttime, pets can also sleep with me and my dogs in my bedroom if they need more company and or supervision. In addition to this, for exercise and relieving themselves, pets will be taken on walks and will have the ability to utilize my apartment complex’s dog park (when there are no other dogs present besides my own.) Pets can also take a trip to the beach with me for more fun, if approved by owner(s). Please also note that feedings will entirely depend on the instructions of the owner(s) and that for hydration, a water bowl will always be accessible to pets both in my home and on-the-go. Pet-care at your home: I will care for your pet in any way that is instructed of me in your home!

“We were so lucky to have MaKayla look after our Luna girl while we were away for Thanksgiving! MaKayla was responsive, attentive, and trustworthy.

Cathy T.
“Cathy is one of the biggest dog lovers that I know! She had such a great dog and I know it's because she was such a great dog owner to him. Anytime I go out of town or if I'm out of my house for an extended period of time, I always call Cathy to help look after my dog. She's one of the few people that I trust because she treats my dog as if she was her own. My dog doesn't warm up to very many people outside of my household. But, she adores Cathy! Any dog would be lucky to hang out with Cathy! :) ”

I believe it’s his caring and kind spirit that brings these dogs back to being able to be excellent family members. Collin has the proven skills to be a loving pet caregiver, to train and care for pets of all varieties. He is extremely trustworthy and follows through on his commitments.”

She is experienced in caring for different breeds. She always puts their needs above her own and seeing the smiles (yes the dogs smile) on all their faces when she enters the room proves their love for her. She is always the first person her friends and family ask to watch their pets because they see her love for animals and are confident she will give their loved ones the best care.”
