About: I've cared for a wide range of animals in my life; but mostly cats and dogs. I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs and I find it very easy and fun to work with them. I've raised kittens and puppies, as well as elderly animals. I have no issues with feeding, walking, or cleaning up after any animal. During the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, I have some time off from college and want to spend that extra time interacting with pets! I can work every day of the week and the weekend and can also do overnight care. I have a very reactive dog at my house that can be hard to control, but I'm able to get him on walks without escaping my grip. I'm stronger than I look! But I also treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness. I don't believe in negative reinforcement and I will treat your pet like royalty!

“Angela was great and took such good care of our 3 dogs especially on such short notice. Angela was great at sending updates daily with pictures of the pups.”


“Lori was absolutely amazing!! She was super communicative and considerate of our and our pets needs while she house sat for us over a long weekend. The pets were so happy and healthy when we got back and she kept our house very clean and tidy for us too! I would very highly recommend Lori for any pet care needs!”


“Michelle was great with our pups!! They were all super comfortable and she made us feel really comfortable. We have never left our dogs with someone we didn’t know before so we were nervous for our first time but honestly she makes it feel like you’ve known her forever. She’s easy to communicate with, loves the animals, and was great at listening to the (probably unnecessary) amount of information and instructions I left about our dogs’ routine. We’re so grateful to have found a dog sitter we can trust! Would highly highly recommend.”


“Bicky was more than we could have ever hoped for! We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family, and never for this long.

We will for sure be using her for any future needs.”

She's absolutely delightful and has a beautiful spirit. I would definitely rehire her again and again!!!”


“This was my first experience leaving my fur babies with anyone other than friends or family. Cayla was very patient with me and my apprehensions of using a dog sitter.

Bonus points for our house being super clean when we returned from our trip!”
