About: I have taken care of various dog breeds of all ages since I was 11 years old. I also plenty of experience with cats, I currently have a cat and small dog of my own so I know what it takes to care for pets and will treat your pets as my own and give them the love care and attention you would. I currently do not work so I have a very flexible schedule, I do have a grade school child but am completely free weekdays from 9am-2pm. Weekends my schedule is also very flexible but will have a little less time available due to dedicating time with my child. Overall I am very flexible and willing to work around both our schedules and needs. I am very trustworthy and will respect the privacy of your home and family while present. I will provide a safe environment and companionship, play time, or any care necessary for your pets.
“Ashley was great! She took care of my two kitties and gave me lots of pics and updates on feedings, play times, and litter box cleaning. I definitely felt better about leaving them for a weekend. Thank you Ashley, we will definitely rebook you soon!”

About: I've always been great with animals. Whenever I was 10 I had a tuxedo cat who needed medication for failing kidneys, I was the only one who could administer her pills swiftly. I've dealt with high energy dogs like labs and stubborn dogs like my 100 pound pitbull. My schedule is flexible at the moment. My kids are grown and I'm looking to stay actively busy. I love outdoors so walks and playing outside would be ideal. I am an empathetic and nurturing person. I have always cared for animals and people alike. I have raised 5 daughters and 3 are in the army.
“I was scared at first because I never let someone else see about my fur babies 🐕. She was really patient and kind to them, they really did fill comfortable with her. I will be using her again.”

“Strongly recommend Stewart. He was attentive to the needs of my two cats and effectively communicated any questions he had about providing care. I plan on asking for his help in the future. I would HIGHLY encourage you to hire him.”

“My Iverson is an handful to say the least but Jessica is well equipped to handle him. Iverson jumps, nips and tugs on the leash like hr is playing tug of war. She displays extreme patience and goes above and beyond to ensure Iverson is safe. Also she stays the whole 30 minutes, I really like that!!!”

About: Since I was a little girl, I would sneak away to care for stray animals. Some would make their way into the house "some how". I have always enjoy making a difference in animals lives! Now I work for a dog daycare and would like to care for even more animals on my free time. I can, walk, feed, bathe, and of course have the best play time of our lives with you furbabies! Can't wait to meet you FUR-amily! 💓 Pet care fits PURR-fect in my life. At the moment I work at a dog daycare. Although I see MANY dogs a day, I believe there's so many more pups I could care for. I also enjoy kittens/cats. Unfortunately their aren't many cat daycare. I would just LOVE to have the best of both worlds of caring for both cats and dogs on my free time. enjoy caring for furbabies in their home. I work at a dog daycare and noticed some pups would like some company, but looooove being home more. Not all pups are extroverted, but thst is okay! I enjoy taking long walks with my dogs to a dog park. I have 3 other pups for you pups to socialize with if socializing is something you find important for your pup. Depending on your pups weight and gender will determine which pups i bring. I always start socializing pups one at a time and with the same gender and size before bringing in another pup of the opposite.
“Dorothy did a great job again of taking care of my elderly cat. She is reliable and caring!! My cat is very shy with strangers but he comes out of hiding when Dorothy arrives and he even lets her pet him!”


“Amanda was wonderful! She flexed with our plans and sent plenty of great pictures of our dogs which we always enjoy receiving from our sitters. Highly recommend her services!”

“Hanna was very thoughtful. Went above and beyond in caring for our pets. Even sought them out when they hid upon her arrival and sent photos. Hope she's available next time we no need someone”

“Meaghan was fantastic! She was very responsive and took our reservation last minute which was a life saver. Our doggos were so happy and well taken care of. We loved the pictures she sent when she stopped by! Thank you again!”


“Valerie did amazing watching my cat while I was out of town for the weekend! She was very attentive and communicative, so I never felt worried about the care he was receiving while I was away. When I got home, he was very content and happy and I knew he loved having Valerie drop in every day!”
