About: First thing is having a dog of my own allows me to understand what it feels like to have help from a new person. I will be very accommodating to your pets needs and make sure I send pictures so you know you pet is happy and well taken care of when I am needed. I bring a deep understanding of animals that comes from personal experience and genuine love. I’ve raised both a dog and a cat from a young age, so I truly understand the patience, attention, and care they need at every stage of life. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes—from playful puppies and tiny breeds to large, energetic dogs—as well as cats with unique personalities. Whether it’s senior care, daily walks, or just providing comfort while you’re away, I treat every animal like family. I’m calm, reliable, and always focused on making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I am mainly available on the weekends! I am currently pursuing becoming a dentist but it costs lots to do so. That’s why I love to take my passion of animals and help everyone around with there furry friend. I have one dog who would love playing with any other dog and keep them company and my apartment has a nice little dog park for small and large dogs. I have a car so I can come to you and walk your dog or stop in to help your animal!
“Kicky did a great job at making sure the cats were taken care of while I was out of town. They sent me really cute pictures of the babies and gave them lots of churu! 10/10 from me and the cats :)”
“Tommy took such great care of Holly and was very communicative. He was timely and followed all of our requests. Holly had a great time with him also!! We definitely would have Tommy care for Holly again!”
“Kacie did a great job caring for my boy”
About: I have grown up with large dogs, specifically Great Pyrenees, and cats since birth. This early experience gave me a great understanding of animal body language and I feel confident when forming relationships with new animals. In addition, I am comfortable with pets of all sizes (big pups welcome!) From brushing to administering medication, I am experienced in providing everything your pet needs to thrive. I am currently working full-time from home and would love to walk/check-in on your pet during my mid-day break! Additionally, I will be available in the mornings before 8am and after 4pm. I am available most weekends anytime of day. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I would be happy to care for your pet in yours. I prefer to learn the rhythms and routines that you have with your pet so that I can create the most comfortable and consistent experience possible.
“Tina was a wonderful help! Super updates throughout and we came home to a healthy, happy cat. Thank you, Tina!!”
About: Grew up taking care of cats throughout my childhood (5 in total) and have seen every personality you could imagine a cat could have. This past year I was lucky enough to bring not one but TWO amazing former breeder corgi mommas into my life and have learned a lot about how to transition older dogs into a new forever home. I currently work full time. Typically it is a Monday-Friday schedule with select weekends. With that said, I looking to be your weekend getaway sitter and walker and a last minute sitter and walker for those weekday nights you get stuck in the office, want to enjoy a happy hour right after work ,or have a self care night. Making sure an animal feels safe and comfortable is most important, especially, when their routine is changed. Lots of love, attention, and sense of normalcy is what I hope bring to your pets while you are away.
“Devin checked on my cat son Bruce for a week while I was away and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Her detailed recaps of the day allowed me to feel comfortable and make changes as needed to his care, which she easily adapted to and made Bruce happy and comfy while I was gone. She administered 3 pills a day and a 4th one as needed with no issue. She also washed all his bowls every day, ensured his water was fresh, and brought over a toy she thought he might like to add to playtime. It made me so much more relaxed during my travels to know he was in good care and I will definitely be booking with Devin again 🥰”
“Andres did a great job dropping in on Ladle. We would book again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. I believe dogs have as big as a heart as humans do and should be treated equal to us. I've owned every single pet possible growing up and understand what it takes to show the proper affection an animal needs. I currently work from home so I’m available all day every day. I have two cats at home that I care for so I can not currently board any animals. I believe you should gain an animals trust fully when entering a new space with them. Showing them that you’re not a threat and you’re a provider and friend is the best course of action.
“Sean did a great job with my cat! He followed all my instructions carefully and she was well cared for. Would definitely book again and recommend to anyone :)”
“Jessica did an awesome job watching our puppy for us on short notice while we went to a concert! It was such a relief knowing our dog was in good hands - he loved her! Will definitely reach out again next time we need a sitter. 5/5!”

Casey W.
“Casey is a thoughtful and caring individual since I have known her. She takes care of animals pretty much her entire life from her childhood animal named sundae and cookie a small dog and medium dog whose breeds were shi-zu & a younger mixed breed. She pretty much took reign over those animals due to her parents always working to skim by. When she grew older she always wanted to have a dog because she grew a passion to take care of animals. That’s when Leo came. Leo is a golden doodle that’s she has been taking care of since birth. Leo grew to be a trained and wise dog. Animals are Caseys first love and she will do anything to protect them and be near them.”

Anna F.
“Anna is a natural with dogs. Anna was my neighbor and frequently walked my dogs for me for about a year. I have a 4 year old 25-lb dog and a 2 year old 90-lb dog. The bigger dog is strong and rambunctious, lunges for rabbits or stray balls on walks, and is overly excited by young children, but she handled him well! The other one can be a bit timid at first. Anna was very patient with both dogs and continued to enforce the rules I asked, even of the little one (sit for pets, no jumping, sit for food, etc). She is also very communicative, and I could always count on her to come when she said she would. I've had a hard time finding a replacement for Anna. The dogs and I miss her!!”
