About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and they bring me so much happiness. I’m deeply committed to making sure they feel loved and cared for. With 4 years of experience working at Town and Country Animal Clinic, I’ve had the chance to care for dogs and cats of all types and temperaments. I understand the unique needs of every pet. I have a 1 year old at home, so I’m unable to care for reactive dogs at this time. I’m a stay-at-home mom offering flexible pet care services to fit your family’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight stays at our house, I’m here to provide your pets with the best care. Services: Dog Walking Adventures Drop-in Visits Daycare & Boarding Bathing I offer flexible scheduling and personalized care in a safe, home-like environment. Let me make your pet care easy and stress-free! I will provide updates and pictures often. Recently, I used Rover for the first time to find a sitter for my own dog, and that experience inspired me to offer my services to other dog owners who need a safe and reliable place for their pets. We have a fenced yard, private access to the beach, a 7 month old pup that needs friends and a 1 year old son that will shower your pet with love and affection. We look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐾🎾🌲💛

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior pets, I provide the same level of love, patience, and attention. I’ve done many overnight stays and have cared for dogs both big and small, as well as cats and older animals with special needs. I’m also familiar with handling medical concerns like skin conditions, allergies, and administering medications when needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety is my top priority — I aim to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! I have complete open availability. Whenever care is needed, I am happy to provide! I am easy to work with and happy to work around your schedule. I will make sure to go by your guidelines when it comes to safety in your house. I will read any and all information regarding the pet, and take extra safety precautions when entering and leaving your home.


“Thank you Amber for taking great care of my pets! I appreciate the excellent communication and the pictures. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”


About: I've grown up around animals from farm animals to always having a dog that was like family. My mom and brothers are a big help there is always someone home giving full attention. Having pups over for people leaving town or people visiting the area is always fun. We like giving peace of mind that their fur baby is in good hands being taken care of while they are unable. We like to see the different personalities in each dog or cat and gain their trust and distract them from being away from their owners. They will be treated like family and have free roam of the house and fenced gated yard. Cant wait to meet your pet. Adjustable and flexible schedule between my mom and I someone is always home. Times for drop offs and pick ups are flexible to your schedule We ha e baby gates to give privacy if needed a fenced side yard and back yard incase bigger and smaller dogs need to go together. Pets are welcome on furniture and can give supplements or medication if needed and I feed each dog separately for allergy and aggression and so they dont feel rushed.

“Diane was so sweet to schedule a meet and greet before the actual days I needed her to drop in on my pup. My girl Lexie loved her. She was responsive, on time, compassionate. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”


“Samantha is absolutely fantastic! She has been so helpful taking care of our pups and left us detailed notes and pictures every time she visited. She even stopped in during the power outage to make sure they were doing okay! I can’t recommend her enough and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! 10/10 recommend!”


About: I will provide excellent care for your fur babies because I've had animals all of my life and know what it takes. I've also had pet sitting jobs through family friends since I was 2018 that included things like day sitting, walking, overnight sitting and farm animals. I will treat your pet as if it was my own, because every animal deserves the same kind of love that they pour out to us. If you're interested in the fantastic care for your pet then I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration 😊 Currently, I have open and flexible availability as I am between jobs. This means pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine! I can dedicate significant time and attention to your pet's needs, whether it's for frequent walks, extended playtime, cuddles, or just being a comforting presence. I am more than happy to cater to your pets needs no matter how detail oriented they may be. As a loving dog/cat mom myself, I know the lengths we will go to make our fur babies comfortable and happy. Whatever that may be for you and your pet, I’ll happily accommodate. My main goal in caring for your pet(s) is not only the basics, but making them feel safe, secure, and most importantly loved when you are away.


“Amber did a wonderful job. We really appreciate her caring ways with our fur babies and we felt very comforted knowing she is professional and trustworthy. She was very quick in replying and we are grateful to have met her! Thank you Amber!”


About: Dogs have always been in my life and part of the family since childhood. I’ve owned a lot of different breeds with different personalities and different sizes. I have a lot of free time on my hands. So I’m looking to fill it with something I love doing. I would enjoy spending time and caring for other people’s dogs while they are away. I understand how much dogs are part of one’s family. Not just a pet. While in my care I would treat them in such a way. I have a dog of my own that I love. I would treat and care for a clients dog no different than my own .

About: While I was in college, I helped my roommates take care of their dogs while they went to work during the day. I would take them on walks in the neighborhood and feed them when needed! I also helped take care of many animals while their owners were away on a vacation or work trip. I also just recently got my own miniature dachshund of my own to start my own little family. I will take a lot of pictures to ensure to you that your pet is doing well so you can enjoy your trip! :) I’m currently working a 1st shift part time, I am typically available all day on Tuesday/Wednesday and late afternoon/evening during the work week. I’d love to take care of your pup! I can drop in your house to make sure your dog is doing okay or take them out for a walk. I will make sure your pet is cared for by ensuring all safety needs are met of your home and your dog. I can make sure all of your dog’s basic needs are met. I am happy to do a prior “Meet and Greet” to see if we are a good fit.

Courtney B.
“Courtney was great with my husky. My dog is high energy and Courtney was able to keep her happy during her stay by walking her playing with her and even having children around to play with her as well. Courtney also sent picture updates to me so I knew my dog was well and happy. Would be glad to use her service again. *Highly recommend♡”


Alivia B.
“I cannot recommend Alivia enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I could tell right away that she genuinely loves animals. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to her immediately — a true testament to her gentle and patient nature. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again”
