About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I’m here to keep your furry family member happy, safe, and well-loved. From playful pups to cozy kitties (and just about any other pet you can think of), I’ve got you covered! With flexible hours and availability for regular visits, I’m all about making sure your pet feels comfy and cared for at home. Plus, with my experience in senior care, medication administration, and energetic play, you can rest easy knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands! Running my own marketing business from home means I’m usually knee-deep in emails and meetings, so pet care is my perfect excuse to escape! I’m absolutely obsessed with animals, so getting out to care for them lets me have the best of both worlds—taking a break, soaking up some fresh air, and playing with pets. Plus, it doubles as a fun way to stay active! Whether it's walking a dog or spending time with a cozy kitty, pet care fits into my routine as my daily ‘pawsitive’ escape from work! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care as if it were my own. I follow all client instructions to a T, from feeding and medication routines to any preferred playtime activities. Safety is always my top priority, so I ensure doors, gates, and any pet areas are secure before and after each visit. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax, knowing their pet is happy and safe. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and right at home, keeping their routine consistent to reduce any stress.


10. Ashton S.

“Ashton was absolutely phenomenal!!! She took time with our dogs each time she came to visit, play, walk, feed etc. We will definitely be asking her to come dog sit for us on our future trips. We came home to 2 very happy pups. ? thank you so much, Ashton!”


11. Allie P.

“Allie was amazing! She brought snacks for biggie when she showed up, she did make sure he didn’t have allergies first and that was really appreciated! I got loads of cute pictures from both visits and it was great she took the time to play with him and set up his puzzles for him before she left! Will for sure be contacting Allie again when we need help!”


12. Brittany S.
“Brittany is reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves your animals like her own. She has cared for our many pets many times! The dogs are always especially happy to see her! Brittany is a strong communicator and is easy to work with. I highly recommend her TLC for any pet sitting needs you may have!”


13. Ameshia C.
“Ameshia has dog sit for my dog several times. My dog absolutely loves her. When she came over to meet my dog he went over to her as if she already knew her. I wished she was still living here so I could still use her. She shows up when she suppose to and I didn't have to worry about my dog not getting her exercise for the day because looking at my cameras she went above beyond her means.”


14. Marjorie & Bernard M.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits and a horse throughout my life. My dog Malia and I would love to have other dogs come and play and stay with us for the day. I currently work outside the home 12 to 16 hours a week. However my husband works an opposite schedule so someone will be here to supervise the dogs 95% of the day We have a fenced backyard and I can crate your dog if necessary. Weather permitting we will play with the dogs in the backyard every day.


15. Hailey M.
“Hailey McDonald has a true passion for taking care of animals and would be an amazing choice to take care of pets, she is responsible.”


16. Lisa P.
About: I have two rescue dogs, Jarvis & Jumbo. They're both poodle mixes and get along very well with other dogs. We have a large, 6-8 ft privacy fenced in back yard with grass and plenty of safe romping room. I know how important it is to have peace of mind for your pets while you have to be away from them. If you are interested in booking a stay in our home, please make sure to provide the last date of vaccinations for your pet by sending a screenshot or photo in messages of their record. Please try to complete your profile as much as possible so that I can make an informed decision about working together for your pup/s. Thank you for considering hiring me to take great care of your pets. Please reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you. We can work out the schedule that best suits your dog’s needs, based on my availability. My dogs use a doggie door and my in-laws come by to check on them if needed. We also have cameras to monitor them throughout in the event of an emergency while we’re not home. I have a large, completely privacy fenced back yard for exercise and play. They have access to all space inside our home as they would yours. If you'd like to have them crated, please bring the crate.


17. Brittany M.
About: My love for animals started when I was a child I was only a few month old when we got a new addition to our family. I grew up with my "baby". She was my responsibility to care for and love. Since then, I have found myself having a passion for caring for and loving animals. I have a 6 year old daughter who also loves to care for animals. She is my side kick. We have a large fenced in backyard for our 2 year old lab and 1 year old cat to run and play. My babies have a special bond with another. They are calm and snuggle, but enjoy play time. They get along perfect with other animals. I will be a perfect sitter/walker for your dog because you can trust that your baby will be carefully attended to, loved, and getting all the attention and play time he/she require. I look forward to meeting you and your special family member. Thank you so much for considering me! I prefer Weekends (Friday-Monday) to ensure your dog gets the quality care they deserve due to a teacher and a daughter in cheer schedule. . I want your pup to have the best experience while away. I have a larger fenced in back yard and a 1 year old lab to play with your dog. My pup is kenneled in an extra large custom kennel when we leave. I will meet your needs when it comes to leaving the house.
