About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I have several references I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that sometimes allows me to work from home. Your dog, however, will never be alone because my husband is home during the day. I take your dog for a morning and night walk and on weekends three short walks. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture
“Jeaneé is the best. We’ve used her several times now. We always get pictures of the adventures they have together, and updates! We know our animals appreciate having her around.”
“Meghan was very attentive to our elderly cat, Iggy (19). We also have Nova (11) and one foster kitty (2). I received pictures and summary each day. Meghan would summarize Iggys feedings. This put us at ease when traveling”

I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time for your fur baby for walks , belly rubs, treats & tail wags everything we're together! Safety is always a priority!!

About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
About: I’ve been a proud rescue dog mom for 6 years and understand how much our pets mean to us. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I have experience caring for both dogs and comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I am especially sensitive with dog with separation anxiety as my own dog suffers from that as well. I'm reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I bring a strong background in responsibility and trustworthiness from my job as an Asset Protection Manager. My job requires attention to detail, discretion, and a high level of reliability-all qualities I bring to every job. I’m here to be a responsible and reliable pet care giver while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve—so you can have peace of mind while you're away! I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving pets the time and attention they deserve! I'm able to adjust my routine to meet each pet's needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions you provide. I pay close attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether that means giving them space to settle in or showering them with affection. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things tidy and calm. In my home, pets have a cozy, safe environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to relax. Communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats my whole life. I have always been an animal lover! I currently have one 3 year old Golden Retriever who I love and adore. Having to leave my own dog to go on vacation or needing someone to drop-in or bring him for a walk can be stressful. My dog is my family and I want to know he is in good hands while I’m away. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! Every dog is different and needs different care and I will be there to give your dog their essential needs, exercise, belly rubs and love while you’re away! Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me. I work part-time so I am very flexible for your pets needs and this gives me a lot more time to spend with them as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am good with putting on harnesses and maintaining control while your dog walks on a leash.
About: Since I was 12 years old I have cared for many different pets. Many families have trusted me with their pets, and I know how important they are to our families. I always take care of any pets with the utmost care and responsibility. I feel comfortable with any size dog, as well as senior dogs as I was the owner of a very sweet blind and deaf dog with many medical problems. I also specialize in cats, small animals, and reptiles! I have plenty of availability as I am currently in school online! Any time or day I am typically available! I am available multiple times a day for care as well. I am comfortable caring for your pet however you see fit. If the pet needs walked or crated, I am comfortable doing so, as well as any cleaning/bathing needs or any special food requests.
About: I’ve lived with 3 dogs and I’ve been responsible for one since I was 8. I also worked as a kennel assistant and currently work in a doggy daycare. I have experience with boarding cats and dogs as a kennel assistant I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits on the weekends. During the week we can discuss what times you’re looking for and perhaps we can work something out. I will happily drop in and feed your animals and play with them if you would like. just let me know what you want from your drop in visit.
