Aaliyah was truly amazing. We had Aaliyah stay the night with our dogs during our trip out of town. I swear the house looked better than we left it, and the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Aaliyah is very nice and well mannered.. There is no question Aaliyah will be our pet sitter from now on. I hope she comes to visit the dogs and us because I consider her a friend now too. Look no further, Aaliyah is all you need.

John was on time. He was very kind. He and our sweet Savannah bonded and has a great weekend. He completed walks and feedings. He assisted with her vitamin. We will plan to use him again and would highly recommend him.

Chelsea was wonderful, we booked her last minute after a family member became ill and could not sit our dog, Kenzie. She stayed over night and sent pictures and updates. I felt very confident leaving our home and dog in her care. Will definitely use her again.

About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.
