“Kaylee was amazing!! She was able to help us out while I was out of town. She paid attention to our guy and let me know he wasn’t feeling well. She was also flexible and kind as we worked to help him feel better! Absolutely would recommend!!”


About: Hello! I have been a dog owner for more than 20 years! I have owned 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, several hamsters and fish! I have owned a dog from birth to death, adopted a senior dog (10 years old) who lived to be 14 and currently own a 5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. I owned a small dog and 2 large dogs. I'm comfortable with any breed! I currently working full time but due to my flexibility with my schedule, I oftentimes find myself working partly from home almost every work day. I own a dog so I know the importance of fitting their care into my daily life. My dog is allowed on our furniture and is crated at night due to his snoopy nature when no one is looking... I make sure to have play time with the animals as well as lots of cuddle time!

“Shelby did an exceptional job taking care of our elderly cat! She played with her daily and she also did some additional tasks around the house that we requested of her. We were very pleased with her enthusiasm and the gentle way she handled our cat. We will definitely call her again!”


About: I've taken care of puppies to the elderly dogs. Treat them as though we are a pack or family. Have had to take care of a high anxiety dog that required meds and territorial dogs. Coexistence is key. This is my full time job so I take your pets care seriously. I learn their cues to when need food, water, and outside time. I require detailed instructions written out so as to best take care of your fur baby. I like to get to know them to provide the best care I can.

“Shannon was great. She was patient, kind, and and willing to help with letting my cat outside and bringing her in. My cat get stir crazy after several days and I want to try and let her out. She was even willing to water the plants! Thank you Shannon.”


About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!
