About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with both playful puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I’m super reliable, great with routines, and always send pics so you know your pet is happy and safe! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and play they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just hanging out, I love making it part of my day. In my home, pets get a comfy, safe space with lots of love, playtime, and chill time. I follow their routine and make sure they feel right at home. At a client’s house, I respect their space, keep things clean, and stick to whatever schedule or rules the pet is used to—walks, feedings, meds, whatever they need!

We luckily have neighbors who will care for them if we won’t be home until later than expected and lets our dog out if needed.

About: Since I can remember, I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, fish (fresh water and salt water), birds, reptiles, rodents, etc. I even have some experience with farm animals! I own a pug, 3 cats and a fish tank. I love all my animals deeply. I’m very picky about who I let care for my babies, I assume the same for you. I will go above and beyond to ensure your baby is happy, healthy and safe! Currently, I work evenings Mon-Thur as a private music teacher. Usually, I’m there from 3-7pm. Also, my fiancé is also home during the time I’m not. So, if you book a boarding with me, your animals will be in good hands as he also has plenty of experience with animals, if not, more! When you book a boarding with me, I’m confident in saying that your pet is 100% safe with me. My animals are trained and well behaved. I will make sure they are introduced properly and not just thrown together! I will be sure to follow your instructions and ask as many questions as I need to ensure quality care. If any emergency arises, you will be the first I call. I prefer if you leave another emergency contact, or permission to bring your pet to the vet in case of an emergency. When you book a sitting with me in your home. I will only touch the things you allow me to touch/put in the instructions. I’ll clean up any messes that are made. You can trust that I will respect you and your home. No one will come with me to your home unless you authorize it! I will always be sure that you and your pets feel comfortable with me. I love open communication, so if something feels off to you or if you’d like me to do something different, please let me know!
“Alissa was perfect! We felt bad because our Internet went out for a few hours but she was understanding. She left our house cleaner than when we left. And most importantly, she took such great care of our dog! She made sure he was fed, walked, and loved on. We’ll absolutely have her back!!”
“Madison was an exceptional Caretaker for my elderly cat while I was on vacation. In addition to his basic care and needs, she gave him medication twice daily. She took the time to send daily updates and pictures, that assured me he was in great hands!! I could also see that he greatly enjoyed her company too! She went above and beyond, allowing me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was getting the best care and companionship. I will absolutely book again with Madison and I highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my whole life and have lots of experience taking care of them. This includes feeding, walking, and playing with them. I currently work nights, so I’m at free all day to walk and play with the animals. This also means I can feed them lunch during the day.

I thought it would be cool to have more dogs in it! Or to just meet other dogs at their house! I love dogs and that's pretty much it I live in a nice, sub-urby area, and I take my dog Laz on walks through the neighborhood and to the park. I would be happy for your dog to join on those walks!
