About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).
“I was so nervous leaving our beast of a dog, Titan. He is tricky due to his deplorable past and emotional issues, but gentle with us. Tracy was calm and positive and it sure seems like all went quite well! We will use him again. We did not worry. Thank you, Tracy!”
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember and in my professional life I've worked in wildlife sanctuaries and zoos. From tigers and reptiles to primates and all kinds of domestic, I've taken care of them. I'm experienced with senior animals and any that need medication as well I'm currently only working at my other job on weekends, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your critters too! I am comfortable taking your pups for walks or playing in a yard. Whatever your specific pets needs are, including cats or anything else, I can handle it
“Mariah is very sweet with my dog Zoe who needs lots of encouragement to walk with new people. Mariah communicates well, reliable and sent a thorough note about her visit. Highly recommend.”


About: We are a husband/wife team. We have owned and loved pets most of our lives. Especially, cats and dogs. We give them that extra special attention they are craving when you are gone. Clint always loved brushing out his doggies fur. We both love to walk and play with our furry friends. We are both very easy going and friendly. Clint is legally blind. He doesn’t need a cane. Leah is my right hand. We do everything together, and together we make a great team! Clints disability is NOT a complication. We have pet sat several times over many years. We both have a completely clean background. We have never had a problem with drugs or alcohol. After years of pet sitting for family and friends, we thought, We should make our own little business! Really looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”

“Edmy and Craig were the absolute best I could have asked for when looking for someone to watch my dog. My dog can be a bit anxious and defensive when meeting new people and these two knew exactly how to get him comfortable. If you are looking for someone to watch/walk your dog that you can trust 100%, reach out to them.”

“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”

About: I was born with the yearn to care for animals built into my core. The day I turned 16 I got my first job in a kennel, caring for dogs boarded there on the weekends and after school. Once I turned 18 I began volunteering at my local shelter, fostering sick and injured animals, bottle feeding kittens, training puppies, and finally making the difference I dreamed of growing up. I was eventually hired and employed by the shelter and trained in many different elements. Feeding, grooming, administrating medications, behavior classes, training, and general overall daily care. I have been fear free certified twice. I was since promoted to a veterinary assistant in 2022 where I’ve thrived working in the medical side of animal care the last few years. There I have gained many lifesaving skills as long as senior care skills to add to my belt. I have most recently had a baby so I’m looking to continue caring for animals in a way that better fits my current life. I’d also love nothing more than to raise my child teaching her to show animals compassion and care! 💜 I am currently staying home with my daughter so as long as you don’t mind she tags along, my availability is wide open! (She is an infant so remains in her carrier) Your pets will be treated like family whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I absolutely PROMISE you they will feel loved and be given all the pets and attention they desire! (Treats as well, if permitted 😉)
