About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs, which taught me the responsibility and patience required to be a great caregiver. My experience ranges from energetic small breeds to powerful large dogs, so I am comfortable and confident handling pets of all sizes. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand the gentle touch and extra attention they often need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam or a calm presence to sit and play with them at home, I prioritize their safety and happiness above all else. I pride myself on being reliable and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m excited to provide your pets with the same love and care I’ve given my own throughout my life! I have a very pet-friendly schedule! I work from home every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which allows me to provide your pet with constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. While I am typically in the office on Mondays and Fridays, I have the flexibility to work from home on those days as well with a little bit of notice. Your pet will rarely be alone. Because I don’t currently have pets of my own, your pet becomes my sole priority and receives my 100% undivided attention. In your home, I focus on maintaining their established routine to keep them stress-free. Whether it’s high-energy walks and active play or simply hanging out in their space to provide a calm presence, I adapt to their vibe. I’m happy to offer a 'hands-on' approach for cuddlers or a hands-off approach for more independent pets, and I am always flexible with special accommodations to ensure they feel safe and cared for.

“McKaylee thank you so much for the great care you gave our sweet Amaretto. It was the first time leaving our pup since losing her sibling. McKaylee gave us the comfort we needed by sending us pictures often and staying at the house with Amaretto. We will definitely use her again soon! ♥️♥️♥️”

I hate leaving my babies…but I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for a week and booked with Nancy. She sent me updates on my fur babies daily, and they were very happy and well cared for. When I got home, my house was immaculate and my dogs and my home were absolutely cared for as if they were her own. She did everything exactly as I asked, and made sure they were all comfy and spoiled while I was gone. I would highly recommend her for anyone who looks at their animals as their family. She really does love and care for them. I can not say enough good things about her and the care she provides. 10/10 recommend. If you look at your pets as family, definitely book her. I will always look to her in the future if the need arises, and I hope she will always be available. 100% happy customer here.

Tiffany did such an amazing job with our Lelo! She also went above and beyond the care with helping with the watering of the plants and other helpful things around the house while we were on vacation. I would definitely recommend her and will contact her again for care for Lelo! 💕

Thank you Chantal! We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Our dog Zeus and our cat Tigger were both in such good hands. From the regular walks and medication for Zeus to the clean litter box and fresh water for Tigger, everything was handled with care and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing someone responsible, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover was watching over our fur babies. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
