“Cassaundra is amazing! If you can have her take care of your animals consider yourself very blessed. She does a great job with our girls. She is punctual, attentive, and responsive to questions, and requests.”
“Jenna did a super job taking care of my 4 cats and cockateil. She is always on time for her drop in visits and had some play time with the cats and paid close attention to their feeding schedule. She kept everything clean and tidy for me while I was out of town for a week.”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”

About: I have plenty of experience with dog walking, I have also fostered puppies and dogs. Making sure they’re healed and ready for the forever home. I love taking care of animals and I will always treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m currently in school but it’s in the evening. So I set my schedule to work with that. Other than the evenings, I’m open to helping whenever I’m needed. I always want to make sure they’re comfortable, I’m not going to come in and treat this like it’s something for money, I’m going to treat them like they’re my own. Making sure they feel safe and cared about while I also take care of what is needed from me.
“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”
“Ragen did such an amazing job watching over our dog babies. She did more than what was asked of her and both our pups really loved her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Ragen.”
“Alana did a fantastic job! The pups took right to her from the beginning. She was very prompt and never missed an appointment. She sent pictures of their walks with a detailed report. We will work with Alana again!”
“Excellent job just like last time, great care for our pups and they love seeing her! It’s great having someone that is reliable and that we trust with our dogs!”
About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.
“Alida was wonderful with our puppy and cat! Stopped by twice in one day to feed them, walk/play and they were so happy she was there! Easy to communicate with, followed any/all given instructions, and most importantly, made sure our girls were well taken care of!”
“I have a puppy and Lisa was able to come take care of him twice a day while I was at work and on short notice, she sent me pictures and kept my worry at a minimum while I was gone. I came home to a puppy who was fed and happier than he would have been otherwise. Ill definitely be using her again!”
“Aryn has been a gift to my new cat and me! I was worried about leaving her alone during travel and Aryn plays with her and takes such good care of her. Aryn tells me how she is doing and sends beautiful photos. I cannot be more pleased to have her as my pet sitter!”
About: I have had a deep love for animals my entire life. I’ve always grown up around cats, dogs, rabbits and even reptiles! I also used to raise & show lambs for 4H at the Clark County Fair, so I am used to the routine and responsibilities that come with animals. I have experience working at DogTown where I learned valuable skills on keeping dogs happy and calm during their boarding experience. I know it can be very stressful leaving your animal in someone’s hands, but I’m willing to do everything I can to make sure your pet is well taken care of! 🐾 I work as a part-time EMT (I usually work overnight shifts) and I am a full-time college student, but I have control over which days and times I work. Overall my schedule can be flexible and I am happy to work to ensure your pet is getting the most quality care and attention! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, I am more than happy to come to your home for care! While being in a clients home it is my goal to keep it as clean as possible and respect that space! I can also do walking or playtime where the owner prefers to ensure the pet is as close to their normal routine as possible.
