Dakota stayed at my house for 5 days sitting my dog Bella while I was traveling. It already was clear at the meet and great that Dakota is a natural "dog person" as Bella connected with her right away and was happy in her presence. During the dog sitting Dakota send me regular updates about Bella via text and included many pictures. When I came home from my trip Bella was happy and well taken care off. I can only say good things about how Dakota cared for Bella. I will hire Dakota again in case she is available. Highly recommended.

Shelby did an incredible job watching both of our pups while we were away. She kept us updated and we were never once worried about being away from Booker & Sassy. She treated our pups like her own, and we returned to happy, relaxed pups. I will absolutely be booking Shelby again in the future.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. They are an absolute joy. Friends have trusted me to look after their pets many times, and their pets absolutely adore me just as much as I adore them. I believe in giving pets ample love and attention, as well as activities so they get exercise and they're not bored. I do not work my full-time job on weekends, which gives me the opportunity to give my undivided attention to your fur baby. Although I work during the week, I will take breaks to check in on your pets and allow them to take potty breaks. I am happy to have dogs in my home, or keep them company at your your home. I will keep them active by going on walks and visiting the dog park, if that is something you think they would enjoy. I do not have children or other pets, so your pet will be 100% safe.

About: I am flexible with any care your pet may need. I have a direct line to a vet clinic where I also work at. I also accept pets with prescribed medications or special needs. Exotics are also welcome, and I provide services for large animal such as horses, livestock, and/or farm animals! I try to be as flexible as possible to work around my schedule. I go to school so most visits would be extended afternoon visits, but weekends would be completely open. I require detailed and clear instructions of the exact care you want your pet to have. Such as do they have specific feed or potty times etc. all written on a hard copy. I take your special care needs seriously and like to make sure everything is done correctly; therefore, please be available to answer a text or phone call at any time.

About: What sets me apart is my 10+ years of personal, hands-on pet ownership combined with professional animal care experience. Over the past decade, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles (including turtles), giving me a strong understanding of species-specific needs, routines, and behavior. I’m experienced with puppies, including patience, consistency, and reinforcing basic training, as well as senior pets, where I focus on comfort, mobility support, medication schedules, and close health monitoring. My long-term experience with cats includes litter box management, recognizing behavior changes, and providing low-stress care, while my reptile experience has built strong attention to detail with habitat setup, feeding schedules, and environmental health. This blend of real-life ownership and advanced animal knowledge allows me to provide dependable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 PM to 8:30 AM, which gives me daytime availability for pet sitting, drop-in visits, feedings, walks, and medication administration. Because my schedule is consistent, I’m able to plan reliable check-ins, maintain routines for pets, and provide attentive care without rushing. This overnight work schedule allows me to be flexible during the day and early evening while ensuring pets receive consistent, dependable attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Whether in my home or a client’s, I ensure the space is secure, clean, and pet-friendly, removing hazards and creating areas where pets can relax comfortably. I follow each pet’s specific routine and instructions, including feeding, medications, exercise, and enrichment, while monitoring behavior and health closely. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and positive reinforcement, so pets feel safe and cared for. My experience with dogs, cats, and reptiles allows me to adapt to different temperaments and needs, ensuring every animal receives attentive, responsible, and loving care.
