About: Hi my name is Mike, I have over 30 years of experience with animals. I own five dogs currently. I have had cats, birds, fish, bunnies, snakes, ferrets and iguanas. Heading out? I’ll keep tails wagging, wings flapping, and whiskers twitching! From pups and kittens to bunnies, birds, and reptiles—your beloved pets get all the care, cuddles, and playtime they deserve while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐰🦎🦜 What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. 🐾 Whether your pup needs help with potty training or your senior cat needs extra TLC, I’ve got the patience, experience, and big heart to meet them where they are. I’m confident with all kinds of animals—wiggly puppies, shy bunnies, talkative parrots, and even your bearded dragon with attitude. 💬🦎 From giving meds to managing routines, I treat each pet like they’re my own (spoiled and adored!). My goal? To make your pet feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away—so you can relax knowing they’re in good paws. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐢 I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available everyday. Late nights or early mornings are ok with me. I’m here to help. I care for your pets in their comfort zone—your home! 🏡🐾 I stick to their usual routines so everything feels familiar: same feeding schedule, favorite toys, walks on their route, and belly rubs in their go-to spot on the couch. I keep things clean, cozy, and calm—whether that means scooping litter boxes, watering plants, or giving meds with a treat and a smile. 💊🍖 Plus, I send updates (with adorable pics!) so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Your pets stay happy, relaxed, and loved until you’re home again. ❤️🐶🐱🐰🦎

About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I'm 25. I've taken care of, fostered, and owned many cats and dogs throughout all life stages. As a child, I always had animals in the house to take care of, and I've been dog/cat sitting since I was 16. I am familiar with kittens and puppies, but also with elderly dogs/cats as well as dogs/cats with various medical conditions that may need different kinds of medicine administration or lifestyle adjustments. I am currently available full time for your pet, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available for house sitting and stopping by your home. I understand that keeping our pets safe and happy is of the highest priority, and how I will take care of your pets will reflect that. It is always important to make sure your pups are going on walks fit for their lifestyle/needs and that every cat is getting the stimulation they need while you are away.

“Natalie is great with our pup! She brings her doggies to walk with our little pug (with permission of course) and it’s a big bonus to for her to meet new friends and socialize further. Very flexible, reliable and accommodating! Would definitely recommend Natalie to other pet parents without hesitation.”



“Alexia was beyond amazing!!! Super flexible with my crazy work schedule. She did great with both of our dogs. Always kept great communication between and during her visits. This travel nurse greatly appreciates her!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, from hermit crabs to horses. The last 15 years I’ve gone from volunteering with animals to now rescuing and owning 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m a resident physician but I’m currently on a research year so my schedule is pretty flexible for home visits or walks- but also for boarding given that I have a very animal friendly environment in my own home. I have a three bedroom, split level house with a large backyard and access to a huge field on the other side of my yard for things like fetch and walks. I have 2 energized and social dogs in my own home who are very friendly, love cuddling and playing fetch. I also have 2 cats who do well around my dogs, one younger one that plays along with them and one older one who is still social but keeps more of a distance from play time.

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for over 15 years and frequently dog sit for friends and family. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and even ski patrol dogs. I’m an active person and can provide care for active dogs via running, games, and fetch. I’m also happy to snuggle your furry friends who are missing you when you’re gone. I’m a stay at home mom to a couple of great kids and my husband works from home. All that to say that I have the freedom and flexibility to care for your pet when needed. I will treat your dog like my own while it’s in my care. I will be respectful inside your home and am happy to do any little chores as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs small and large since 2016 for family friends and neighbors. I have a real passion for animal care and my utmost priority is to make sure the well being of your pet is at an all time high. I’ve also gone through online training courses for dogs and cats detailing proper care techniques. I recently started looking for a job but I will update this when / if it changes! Friday mornings are my only recurring schedule block currently. I can tailor the visit to how best it is to fit your pet’s needs. On visits where a potty break is needed, they will be taken out and given treats and lots of love with some fresh water. On meal visits they will be given their meals and fresh water with lots of love as well. On overnight visits I follow the directions exactly and leave the place and the pet(s) looking and feeling better than when I arrived.

About: I’ve cared for small to medium size dogs since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me to feed, groom and walk their furry friends I’m currently working part-time, which allows me the flexibility and availability to give your pup(s) plenty of attention and care. I’m also available for boarding if you’re heading out of town and need a safe, loving place for them to stay. While I don’t have a fenced yard, our neighborhood offers plenty of space for enjoyable walks and grassy areas for potty breaks. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Yorkie at home who loves to play and socialize.

About: I've taken care of multiple pets of all ages, during the day and night. I make sure to always keep those entrusted to me under the best care. Whether it be playing and walking, to washing and grooming, you can trust me to put my all into everything I do. Pet care is currently my one and only occupation which means that no matter what I can find a way to fit all your pet related needs into my schedule. I take care of pets by doing the basics such as food and water, and outside time. On top of that, I use basic trust building exercises and activities to make sure your pets are not only taken care of, but are happy and safe so they can be ready for nail trimmings, baths, walks, and even bedtime in a cozy environment.

“I hired Jessica to walk my 25lb corgi/rat-terrier mix on the same day. She responded very quickly and we made a date for late that afternoon. She was punctual and delightful. My pooch fell in love with her quickly. I went over some of my concerns (no use of cells, watch for large truck and bicyclists, etc.) and she listened intently and engaged with me on each topic, which made me sure that she was listening and understood. Then they headed out. My little guy came back tired and very happy. She took a few minutes to debrief with me and we talked about 'next time'. I will definitely be using Jessica again. I highly recommend her.”
