About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised and helped raise multiple dogs from puppyhood, with experience across all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is real-world experience and reliability. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. This flexibility enables me to provide dependable, attentive, and consistent care for your pets while accommodating scheduled visits as needed. At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.

Took very good care of our two cats while we were out of town. Really put effort into getting the shy one to come out of her shell.

Amber was absolutely awesome. My 2 Dobermans felt so comfortable with her, she gave me updates every time she was there feeding/walking them, also sent updated pictures of them. We are so grateful and happy to finally found someone to care for our pups while we are away. 10 ⭐️

About: I am an animal lover of all kinds but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I am a mom of 3 boys and 2 fur babies. Goose is a Australian Heeler mix who is very smart, playful and always keeps me on my toes. Sadie is a Yellow Lab Mix who is the most gentle,sweet,and playful girl.Both of my pups were adopted from the shelter and if I could adopt more I would. Since I am limited to two caring for your animals helps to love all the animals without creating a small farm at home. I love walking, hiking, and being outdoors in our beautiful city. One fun fact about me is I have found and reunited at minimum 9 dogs in the past couple years. I seem to be a canine magnet. I hope to get a chance to meet your pet and see what kind of adventures we can have. I am have been a stay at home mom for 13 years and during that time I have volunteered at my children's schools. Now that they are older it has opened my schedule up during the week and some weekends. I have a fenced yard in a nice calm neighborhood that is built for safety. The dogs are welcome to hang out with the family but I am also comfortable kenneling.

Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.

About: Family and friends have entrusted me to watch their pets as I have grown up with them myself. We have a dog and cat at home, both of whom are my top priority. I enjoy walking, playing, and most importantly, giving them the attention they so much deserve. Because I am a college student, breaks between classes make pet-sitting and walking convenient. I am also available during scheduled holiday breaks and in the summer. At your home, I am flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether outside or in, I can be your dog’s partner in crime (while safety comes first) and keep them company.
