About: Growing up with a dog, cat, and even reptiles, I gained about 12 years of hands on experience, fostering deep compassion and patience to provide attentive, loving care for all kinds of pets. With school out for now, I’m fully available all day, every day, making it easy to fit pet care into my schedule and provide your pets with consistent, reliable attention whenever you need. I care for your pets in your home by providing personalized attention, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“We absolutely loved Rebecca and will book her again the future! I have a large 60# pittie mix, medium 30# beagle mix and small 9# terrier mix doggies, and she handled them beautifully! I really appreciate when sitters stop by in advance to meet the doggies so that I can show the sitter where everything is, and Rebecca was super responsive and accommodating! I was also lucky she was available within 2 week's notice and bonus that she was available the week after Christmas. My pittie is shy and was very comfortable around her, as was my beagle mix and she was so attentive with my small newly rescued 9# terrier mix who is an older gent. Rebecca sent me pictures which I loved and kept in touch with me throughout my trip. I loved her messages and she has such a kind and professional demeanor. So happy I found her. 3 dogs - one of whom had only been with me for a week - is no small feat, but she was truly wonderful and took great care of my babies. I can't say enough great things about her. She settled my nerves about leaving my fur kids at home. Look forward to working with her again in the future! Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Kimberly is so sweet and took care of Tillu so well. I really felt so happy that she and Tillu got along well and she is soo sweet with Tillu. Definitely coming back to book her again. Tillu loved her a lot as well”
About: I have watched dogs, cats, and reptiles. I can administer medication if need be and/or put diapers on the animal if told they have to wear them. I work/school from my computer so I can be with them a majority of the time, and they will not be lonely ❤️ I can keep up with their routine whether it’s with their potty breaks or meals and medications(if they have any). If you have a fenced in yard I will let them roam out there, unless specifically told different. If walks are needed for overnight stays, I am more than happy to walk them instead of let out in the yard, just let me know😊 I do not watch animals in my home, but in the pets home only. I do make sure they will not get out of the fence or door in your home.
“Tonya was excellent, my dog can take some time to warm up to new people, she was very patient with her and took the time to win her over. She is very professional and reliable, I have used her several times and will continue to do so.”
About: Hi, my name is L, and I’m ready to meet your furbabies!❤️ Not only do I have so much love for animals and babies, I’ve also had many yrs of experience from wildlife rehabilitation to professional walker and fun/loving times with furbabies of different breeds❤️ I have a mad love for furbabies (reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc included) and make memories while sitting or even to just come check on them, while giving them plenty of attention. ❤️ Growing up raising ducks, opossums, raccoons, snakes, squirrels…you name it, I’ve done it and loved every bit of it. I have 5 furbabies (2 dogs and 3 guineas) of my own, one dog whom is an adopted pit mix and the other adopted as well, she’s a catahoula spotted mix ❤️ the guineas were a rescue situation, as I couldn’t leave them in a bad home…but they’re my world, aside of my daughter. So let’s get together and let me share some love to your babies too. I’m currently a stay at home, as I’m taking time away from the work field, so I’m available 24/7! I’m up early mornings by 7/8am til 1/2am. I’m available and flexible. I care for pets to their owners liking and never go out of an owner’s instructions on feedings, play times, crating if need, medicines…etc. I’m constantly sending owners pics/videos of their furbabies, always reassuring that their babies are having fun and enjoying life.

Alicia M.
“I had to leave for a funeral out of state recently with only 1 day to prepare for my 2 adult cats to be taken care of. I knew I couldn't board them because they have serious attitudes about change. Alicia came over to my house everyday (for a week) to make sure they had food/water and clean litter. She didn't just drop in and leave, she sat with them. One is very social, the other very timid and both were letting her love on them. She also sent photos and I was 100% certain they were being cared for. I appreciated her being available in such short notice and would love to use her again.”
Hope M.
“Hope is a very responsible and loving dog owner. She has lived with me for many years and takes very loving care of our four dogs and one cat. She is a straight a student and is extraordinarily responsible for all her duties In her premed studies.

“Kayla took the best care of my dog while I was out of town. She has a sweet pup of her own to help keep yours company and also takes them to the dog park together. Being away from my Stella for a few days never sits right with me. Kayla began sending pics/videos of my dog playing and having the best time without me even asking her to do so. Seeing my girl happy and playing made my vacation that much better! 10/10 recommend Kayla (:”
