About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have classes Monday through Friday, generally between 10 AM and 1 PM, although my class times vary by day. I’m available to help before and after my classes, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need! Because I have two cats at home who don’t get along with dogs, I don’t offer pet care in my apartment. Instead, I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Zoe went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent and sent daily photos of our cats!”

“Tricia was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She sent us many pictures and updates which we appreciated but most of all the dogs looked happy and relaxed. She also made homemade dog treats, which are still in the fridge. We can’t say enough, good things about her and look forward to having her in the future.”

About: Hello Hello! My name is Olivia and I have had dogs, cats, fish, you name it ever since I was little. In May, I started working at a doggy daycare/pet hotel and it was an amazing experience and made me realize I want to keep doing it. While I work at the restaurant a few days a week, I’m not gone for too long. I can walk and take care of the babies accordingly! I live in a four bedroom house with three roommates, 1 female 2 male, in a quiet neighborhood. I don’t have a yard but the neighborhood is very good to take walks around!

“Destiny did a great job. She updated me twice a day including photos and the house was in great shape when we returned. I will definitely re-book with her.”

Upon meeting her, she displayed a demeanor that gave us great comfort that our girl would be well cared for. We highly recommend Sarah and look forward to her spending more time with our pup in the future.”
