“Thank you, Joy for doing such a great job taking care of my zoo. I really they were very comfortable with you. That makes me feel so relieved. I truly appreciate it and I have already rescheduled my next booking with you. Thanks a bunch!”


“I had a fantastic experience with Adriana! She was punctual, respectful, and incredibly trustworthy, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog, Shirley, can be a bit particular, but she absolutely loves Adriana—which says a lot! It’s clear she has a natural way with animals, and I appreciated how attentive and caring she was. She followed all instructions perfectly, and I never had to worry about Shirley’s safety or happiness. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”


“Stephanie is amazing. From the moment she entered the door her and my pup bonded in friendship. My pup never barks indoors and rarely outdoors but when she left my pup was barking for her to come back. She did an amazing job and knows how to handle a very energetic pup and even walked her. Will definitely use her again”


“Melinda was great with our pets, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to be here for our fur babies. It’s always hard to find someone that does great with our dogs as they are large breed (Great Dane & Lab) & our kitty Gussy too and they can be a handful. She was extremely comfortable with them and they loved her. She was always there for them to feed, potty & play and even picked up their poop in the yard and cleaned out cat’s box out daily, brought in my mail and trash cans too. We would recommend her and will be using her again! Thanks Melinda you’re the best ?? ??”


About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs and cats. I take pride in giving them every bit of love that I can and doing what is needed for the specific animals. Also, I will catch cute pictures of them to share with you. Dog Walking and Pet Sitting is my full time job right now. I’m available during the the day time to take your puppy out on a walk or check in on your kitties. I am here to do what is needed for your pet(s) and will follow all instructions you give. I find it best to have written instructions to look back on and have you show exactly how to care for your pet.

“Christy took good care of my three cats for 2 weeks. She showed up on time , took pictures, played everyday, cleaned litter boxes, swept, did whatever was necessary and beyond. I would recommend Christy to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of our kitty for a few days. While you can tell she loves animals, she also treats caretaking seriously as a business. Jessica was right on time for each visit. She took the time to provide detailed feedback on each visit- not just providing cursory info. She was very responsive each time I reached out to her. I asked that she wear our cat out with play each time, and Jessica delivered. Can't recommend more highly. Your fur babies will be in trustworthy hands.”

In your home I will provide the best care for your pets with the upmost respect. I will follow whatever guidelines you have step by step To ensure they are cared for exactly how you would care for them yourself. In my home we have a huge fenced in backyard where the pups can roam and explore their hearts out all while I helicopter mom around to ensure their safety.

I currently remotely freelance and take online classes, so my schedule is pretty open! Please feel free to ask me questions or make requests. Let’s work something out! I will be unable to care for pets in my own home, because I feel that it is best to keep their routine as normal as possible when theirmom/dad are away! The little things matter to them - like sleeping in their own bed, in a house they know, with their own backyard, go on walks in a neighborhood they are familiar with, etc.

I’ve watched her gently cradle tiny, injured sea creatures back to life, guide wandering ducks across busy streets, and rescue lost dogs from the roadside, nursing them to health and finding them loving homes.
