“We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.”

I'm fully insured as well, and I can't wait to meet your pets. I make your pet the priority, your pet's care is very important to me. I can flex my schedule around your needs so you can be worry free. Keep your pet stress free by keeping them home vs. at a kennel. I have a fenced in yard for my pets to play safely. I will respect your home, as if it were mine, and we will keep it mess free!

About: We have a 3+ acres fully fenced yard space. There is a tangiable metal mesh and wood, reinforced, fence AND a tandem electric fence that we can train your pet to if requested. Double saftey set up so that our own animals, and yours, can run free on the sprawling yard and play in various bushy "jungle gyms" :) We are experienced in caring many breeds, ages, needs, and types of animals. Open to any and all! Animals are our passion and we can take any situation and care request in stride, because we get it and have been there! I can fit my schedule around your pets needs! No seriously, self employed and fully flexible. Our own animals are never alone more than 5 hours at a time and more often I am home all day. With advance request I can provide 24/7 care for young or high need pets. Animals come first in our home, always <3 We have a large property with 3 acres fully fenced in for our own dogs. Their personal dog park and playground! They can enter and exit at will; yours too if appropriate. We can also have eyes on them at all times depending on your pets needs. Inside they have free run of couches and dog beds. We have a side by side queen bed sleeping arrangement so everyone can pile in. If needed, we also have a spare room that can serve as a private space if your pet is overwhelmed and I can personally cuddle them while our own crew hangs with my hubby. We have several animal care professionals we work with closely. Including emergency vet services, terriers, groomers, and more. We understand what it takes to trust your fur baby to someone else! It's one of our own biggest hurdles and anxieties when we travel. You can be assured that your pet will be given the care and attention they need to feel safe and loved, on they same level we shower or own fur babies <3

“Thank you Cassandra for taking care of Poe! Cassandra came and met Poe before our scheduled drop-in / walk appointments. He’s a big guy and she was ready to work with him. Sent pictures and updates about how each day went, and I came home to a happy pup. She clearly cared about him and is reliable. Highly recommend and will book again as schedule permits. Five star”

About: I have been tending to family and friends' pets for years, including stopping by their homes to care for their furry loved ones by providing food, walks, and companionship. These pets ranged in age from a few months to 14 years!

I have a reliable vehicle so I am able to go to your home for your pets whenever is needed. I also am a fast and reliable responder to keep you updated throughout the visit and to alert you to any possible issues that may come up.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

About: Hi! We’re a loving family offering calm, attentive pet care in a peaceful home. We know how hard it is to find sitters who truly treat your pets like family — that’s what we’re here for. We’re hands-on, experienced, and genuinely care about helping your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved. We don’t have any pets of our own (just our daughter’s goldfish 🐠) so your pet gets our full attention! What You Can Expect ✅ 1–3 photo updates per day ✅ Personalized routines ✅ Several daily walks ✅ Tons of affection (if wanted!) ✅ Low-stress, quiet home ✅ Gentle, patient settling-in process ✅ Medication administration (if needed) 🧡 Specialized Add-On Care We offer extra support for pets with higher needs (please select at booking): Anxiety Support: +$50/night Puppy Supervision: +$50/night Senior Care: +$50/night Medical/Special Needs: +$50/night ✨ Optional Add-Ons Brush-Outs: $15–$50 FaceTime Check-ins: $15 (15 min) High-Energy Playtime: $60 (1 hour) Extra Updates: $10 each Home-Cooked Meals: $25/day 🧼 Other Fees (Only If Needed) Cleaning (Excessive Accidents): $20 Per Accident Damage: Cost of repair Emergency Vet Transport: $50 + vet cost or transfer to emergency contact 📋 Drop-Off & Behavior Policy At your meet-and-greet or drop-off, we’ll ask you to sign a brief form outlining our policies. We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family. We do not accept pets with: 🚫 Aggression or reactivity 🚫 Destructive behavior 🚫 Ongoing house-training issues 🚫 Unsafe behavior around children 🚫 Excessive barking, howling, whining 🚫 Inability to be left alone briefly for long stays 🚫 Have owners who are unresponsive to urgent concerns 🚨 Undisclosed Behavior Fees: Severe Separation Anxiety: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Excessive Barking: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Aggression or Reactivity: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Unsafe Around Kids: Immediate pickup or $250/Night 💛 Why This Matters We’re calm, patient, and truly love caring for animals — but on rare occasions, we’ve had difficult experiences with neglectful pet owners that created unsafe or stressful situations. That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love. Availability: Joshua works full time from home, and Kaitlin stays home full time so we tend to have open availability to care for your loved pets. Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)
