About: Hello! My name is Hailey, and I have been taking care of animals for the majority of my life. I was raised with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish in the home during childhood, and in my adult life I have helped roommates, family, and friends care for their pets. I don’t have pets of my own but I love animals! I have experience with typical pet care duties (feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, litter box cleaning) as well as medication management for older / sick dogs and cats. I am communicative and attentive to all special instructions your loved ones need. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work remotely full-time Monday - Friday, with a somewhat flexible schedule during the day and a very flexible schedule mornings and evenings. I am also very flexible on weekends. I pay close attention to pets regardless of the environment and follow all instructions provided by my clients. I live in a house with a backyard, but since the yard lacks a fence I plan to take pets (dogs) to a nearby park for play if boarding your pet in my home. If taking care of a pet in your home, I ensure the space is as clean as I found it.
About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember.

“Jill was awesome! We found her on the app, had her booked and dropped off the next morning for a long day. She is very competent with dogs. After meeting her we relaxed and had our day out without worrying. She updated us as much as we wanted and Shelby was happy and tired when we picked her up. I would give her 6 stars if the app allowed.”

“Our boy's stay with Tabatha was just what the doctor ordered. Brinkley needed a play date and some serious socialization. He had three friends to play with, a couple of small kids and a lot if acreage to do it in. We got a much needed day off free from worry or stress about our boy. Tabatha even offered to give him food from her private stores when we decided to stay out later than we had originally planned. We will definitely be using her again.”
