“Heather did a wonderful job dropping in to help with my two cats while I was on vacation. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.

“Susan did a great job taking care of our cat Tatum. She went above and beyond, playing with her spending time with her. Very reliable and great at communicating.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of many temperaments, so caring for them has come naturally since I was young.

I’m comfortable giving oral medications and happy to learn injections with guidance. I also work at a doggie daycare and love the work. I’m available most Fridays to Sundays, with flexible mornings, afternoons, and evenings.

I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable by closely supervising them, keeping their environment clean and secure, and paying attention to their individual needs and routines. I handle all pets with patience and care, whether in my home or yours, and prioritize trust, consistency, and a calm, pet-friendly environment.

About: I've grown up with rescue dogs my whole life. For the past 17 years, I've been living and teaching overseas, and no matter where I've been in the world, animals have been part of my family's life.

About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, ensuring each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to their individual needs. From energetic pups who love long, active outings to older dogs who prefer a slower pace, I focus on providing attentive, compassionate care every step of the way. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, following specific instructions, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, so pet owners can feel confident their dogs are in reliable and caring hands. I'm currently wide open during the summer for walks, enrichment and stop by visits. I can come by multiple times a day depending on needs. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and monitor their behavior to ensure they stay happy and healthy. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I keep the home tidy, ensure pets have fresh water at all times, and give them companionship and exercise based on their energy level. I also provide updates so owners feel reassured that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
