About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. I started caring for other people's pets when I was 12 yrs old, maybe younger. During highschool, I worked at a horse farm. During college, I worked at a local veterinary hospital for almost 10 years. I'm currently a stay-at-home momma to my almost 3yr old daughter and a wife. While she's in school for half days, I can care for your fur babies in the mornings and in the afternoons. We will play ball, go on walks, play tug-a-war, get lots of belly rubs and ear scratches, do some tricks for some yummy treats. If your pup gets scared of storms, I will make sure to stay with them until the storm passes or you return. I will lay with them to help calm them. They can sit on me if needed, whatever works for them to feel comfortable.
“Wonderful stay for our little guy in our home! Samantha did so good with our puppy and on such a short notice. He was just training and she was understanding with him. We appreciated that he did not suffer any regression with his new training and actually was progressing right along as would be hoped. Definitely would love to have Samantha stay for us again, and would recommend highly!!”
“Ella was a great sitter. She accommodated us with both leaving and coming home and on the times she was so good to the puppies and the kitties and when we got home the house was just like we left it she was awesome and definitely would be hired again on our next trip.”
“Crissy was able to house and pet sit on very short notice. The animals all loved her and she kept us regularly updated. Will defiantly use again!”
“The best! Keiaria was awesome. From the initial contact to babysitting and afterward, you can tell she truly loves pets. She did a great job caring for our boys, Comet and Astro, and communicated with us any thoughts or questions. I know us and the boys recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have taken care of family and friends pets for many years. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring their well-being and happiness. I will care for your dog as if they are my own. I currently work full time from home which allows me more time to be hands on with potty breaks, walks and some attention if needed more frequently. We will play in the back yard together. Go on walks around my property. We'll play in my finished basement. And have plenty of time to relax if they would like as well. I have the space where I can easily crate your pet if necessary.

“Jessica is very kind and friendly. She is responsible and updated us everyday with pictures of Belle and comments on how she was doing. Jessica took very good care of our home as well and we highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had a dog for about 10 years. I walked him and played with him. I can administer medicine to your dog. I can brush them. I will take care of them like they were my own. I love dogs and taking care of them. I work but I’m home a lot and if something happens then I can take them to the vet of your choice. I like to go on walks and I like to walk dogs. I had lots of animals growing up especially dogs. I can walk them after 3 on most days. I do have a camera in the house so I can watch the dog(s) of something should happen if if I’m at work. I love dogs and can’t wait to have them in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and if I thought I could be a vet I would, but sadly I have always cried at the “in the arms of an angel” commercials. Luckily, I have a very flexible schedule with my job and can take care of your animal whenever your schedule permits! I wake up early so morning walks/feedings are no issue and generally have free afternoons to tend to your animals needs. I have a fenced in large backyard and one fur baby who loves other dogs and to play but also understands not all animals feel this way. As someone being trusted with your animal, I do believe it is very important to understand the temperament of each fur baby as well as access their body language. I never want your animal to be uncomfortable just as much as I never want to be uncomfortable!
About: I've taken care of pets of family and friends for three years now. I have three sweet dogs and a bird, and I'm comfortable with all animals no matter how big or small! I'm currently working part time with short shifts that make drop ins super easy! I am in college but out on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am very attentive and interactive with animals and will make sure I get all the information needed to take proper care of your fur babies!

About: I have owned a massive 75 pound golden doodle/irish wolfhound/lab mix for 5 years now so I am comfortable with any size animal. I have also cared for other animals from fish and snakes to horses. Due to the holidays being over, I am working less and have some free time on my hands. I figured this way a good way to spend my time, caring for animals! I have a fenced in backyard and a golden doodle/lab mix. I am available for walking, feeding , cage/enclosure cleaning, daily check ins, and bathing.
“Raniyah was absolutely amazing. It’s easy to tell that she is a kind soul as soon as you meet her and our sometimes-nervous animals took to her calm spirit quickly. She left the house just as she found it and followed our instructions exactly. Communication was A+. Our pets could care less that we’re home, which is always a sign of great care! We love Raniyah and hope to hire her again. 5 stars! Two thumbs up!”

“Kristie house sat with our dog for an overnight trip. Our dog is, shall we say, special. He's very nervous and takes a while to warm up to new people. Kristie was great with him! She sent lots of photos and was very responsive to our messages before booking, in the lead-up to our trip, and while we were gone. Winston had as good a time as he was ever going to have, which is the best compliment I can give! When we go out of town again, we will certainly be looking up Kristie's availability. We strongly recommend booking with Kristie for your dog.”
About: I've had pets since I was young. Every pet I've had has lived a long and healthy life. I use to find wounded animals around the neighborhood and tend to them until they were healthy. I'd care for neighbors pets while they were gone all the time. As of now I am free anytime Friday to Sunday and overnights. Soon I will be full time at home and will be available everyday. I have a yard with no fence and a large basement for running around and a 12 week old puppy. Gets feed regularly. And walked at least 5 times a day.

“Cat is awesome! She kept our furbaby while we were out of town. Knowing we were missing Delilah, she often sent updates and photos/videos. She and her little took Delilah on walks and gave her all the love! Delilah was happy to see us when she got home, but it was like she never left. She wasn’t anxious and she did not forget her manners. I will be booking with her again very soon and recommend her to watch your furbaby 100%. They will feel so loved while you are away and the care is top tier!”

“After careful consideration, I decided to give Rover a try and I'm glad that I did. My MiMi is usually slow to get acclimated to strangers but she was instantly drawn to Sharonda! That was a huge plus for me! I feel a sense of reassurance knowing that MiMi has a caretaker other than myself that she's excited to be around.”
