“Taylor was prompt in her replies, even when I did a last minute booking! She was great with the kiddos, they were taken care of very well. My dog Vali got nice walks and lots of pets. Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”

“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”

“Deb was amazing with our pups! This was their first time with a new sitter and immediately fell in love. Deb sent detailed updates every day and spent a little extra time with them when one was not feeling well. She even cleaned up some poopy accidents! (Sorry again for that additional unexpected work!). Will definitely be booking her again. My dogs would be very upset if I didn't!”

About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember, with over 13 years of hands-on experience covering walks, cuddles, vet visits, and everything in between. I recently lost my beloved pup to cancer, so I know firsthand what it means to love a dog deeply and care for them through every stage of life. I'm experienced with senior dogs and administering medication, and welcome large breeds . My partner Max is also home to help, so your pup is always in good hands. I only host one household at a time and am committed to giving your dog my full attention. Right now we have a pet-free home and will give your pup gets all of our attention. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive. Fri-Mon there is someone home at all times, so potty breaks can be kept to whatever schedule your dog requires. We don't often host midweek, but if we do, Tue-Thu we are able to limit alone time to approximately 4-5 hrs. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks, and will be present with you dog as long as they are outside (no leaving them alone despite the fence). Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I'll stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. I'm experienced with senior dogs and large breeds, and I'm happy to share regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I was a vet assistant and specialized in “difficult “ pets. I will go at your pets speed, whatever helps them be more comfortable. If your pet needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old, and cats aince I was 15. I have trained, bathed, walked, and simply adored dogs for all these years! I worked with a certified trainer to train my Lucy in obedience and service tasks. I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors dogs, senior cats, and kittens. I have nursed and fostered kittens as young as three weeks to get them out of barn dumps and into loving homes. My youngest cat, Courage, is my first ever foster fail! I am not shied away by medications either, as I have plenty of experience with administering them to both cats and dogs. I currently work full-time as a special education teacher. I am available on weekdays after 4:30pm, and I'm very open on weekends. I can also accept longer bookings on weekdays that fall under school breaks! I take pet parent concerns to heart, and I follow written directions down to the letter! I am very attentive to detail and strive to make each experience a positive one. I will ensure I am doing everything possible to keep pets safe and happy in my clients' homes. I can clean up toys as needed, fill water bowls, and scoop litter boxes to maintain a neat environment.

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!

Josh has went above and beyond to accommodate my very shy dog. He has went out of his way during his own lunches to make extra drop-in visits to continue to build a relationship with my boy. He has great communication skills and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for a house visit or stay. Thank you!!
