About: Animals have been part of my family for most of my life, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 14, when we brought home a puppy. My experience spans puppyhood and kittenhood through the senior years. Today, I share my home with my two senior ladies: Gandalf, an 18-year-old cat and Leeloo, a 14-year-old pit mix. I adopted my dog from the SPCA when she was two, and she’s been a beloved member of our family for 12 years. My cat has been with me since birth after I adopted her mother while she was pregnant. Living with two senior pets has taught me to pay attention to their individual needs and appreciate the comfort of familiar routines. My cat especially needs dedicated time for petting and brushing when we’re away. Companionship matters just as much as a full food bowl. I’ll bring that same patience and attention to your pets, following their routines and taking time to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re gone. I’m a parent of three and am available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., while my kids are at school. I offer drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, and companionship, as well as dog walks. I’ll work with you to find a visit time that fits your pet’s routine. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. Before our first visit, I’ll learn about your pet’s needs, personality, and any feeding or walking instructions. I’ll be careful with doors and locks, keep dogs leashed on walks, and respect your home. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, brushing, or quiet company, I’ll give them patient attention and send photos and updates along the way.

“Jenna was great! Communication was great!”

“I am highly satisfied with Michael' s services. He is deeply invested and in tune with my dog's needs and extremely knowledgeable in terms of training and the components involved with gaining trust. My dog,Simon,looks forward to His time with Michael and is very excited when He sees Him arriving. Michael has also been extremely accommodating with the schedule. This is the first time that I have used this type of service and I feel as though I have hit the jackpot.”

About: I've always been surrounded by animals. I have experience with puppies, kitties, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and large breed dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies! I am available to love on your babies full time! Whatever their routine is, we will be able to stick to it. I am happy to stay overnight with your babies, or get to them as early as needed. I will make sure all their needs are met. Food and water will always be handled as instructed, play time and pets go without saying, and a potty break will never be missed! I have been in a situation where my sitter did not let my dogs out in a timely manner, and I would not put someone through that stress. Your babies don't deserve that!

“Rebooked Callie for a midday break. Excellent with our 14 week old puppy! Patient. Callie also has an eye for good photo angles and has sent some of our cutest pictures we have of Benson, which is especially nice because these puppy years go by so quickly and before you know it, you’ve forgotten to document it. Highly recommend Callie for your pet.”

“Izzy took the time to let my dogs acclimate to her and was very patient with my 11 year old dog. She shared her feedback timely and is a real gem to work with.”

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and learning about different breeds. I’ve had dogs growing up and have always been comfortable around them especially big dogs. I have house sat before, done drop ins for friends and have done dog walking for my neighbors. I do work a majority during the day(M-S). But I am available on evenings(except for Thursdays). I’m off on Wednesdays, every other Saturday and Sundays Your dogs safety is my first priority. I will utilize a leash when needed, make sure the gate is always shut. Out on a walk I will make sure we stay on the sidewalk and keep distance from other people and dogs(I always say to set your dog up for success). I will send pictures of your dog to you if needed so you can always have updates

About: I've had a dog since I was little, so I grew up with dogs. I have trained my roommate's dog some tricks: gives paw, high five, spin, speak, whisper, and other tricks. I can try to train even the most stubborn of dogs, I am patient and stubborn too and will keep trying. It may take awhile. I love long walks, I usually do recall and discipline (stop, sit and wait until no more pulling) while we are on walks. I am pretty available right now when it comes to daytime. Bigger dogs will be more of a challenge for me, but as long as they don't bite I'll be okay. I am excited for this opportunity to show dogs love and take care of them.

About: I have experience with seizures and strokes in dogs, am able to administer any kind of medication, and have some experience with animals struggling with anxiety. I am a graduate student just looking for some fulfilling part time work. I am available at any point during the weekdays and after October 31st on the weekends I will not be able to host any animals, but I plan on prioritizing the pet’s comfort within their own home and making sure all needs are met

“Madeline was kind, respectful, and very sensitive to Anka, a senior gal, when they went for their first walk together ! We had already done a kind of meet and greet. I look forward to Madeline being overnice here for Anka. I will feel comfortable with them being together. Thank you, Madeline.”

About: I’m a pet owner myself and know how important our fur babies are to us! I currently have some time in my schedule that allows me to help others out with their babies as well! I have most mornings and evenings open. Allowing me to do drop in visits. Whether you’re out of town and want someone to check in or need daily drop ins to make sure the babies are good, I can be there! I care for pets in clients homes and communicate with them on their needs for each pet. Im comfortable distributing medication, handling dietary restrictions, waste removal, and much more!

About: I grew up on a farm in Florida, so I’ve been around a variety of animals. For three years I worked at a doggy daycare where I supervised many different ages and breeds in large groups while casually training them. I am a foster home for dogs as well. I am a nursing student part time, so I have plenty of hours throughout the week to care for your furry friends! I would be happy to work around schedules to make sure I am able to help you out! I have a pretty large fenced in yard and another very friendly dog as well. She loves to play but is respectful if your pet does not. She takes social cues from other dogs well. I also have a large crate if necessary

About: I have been passionate about animals and pet care since I was very young. With multiple animals of my own, I have experience with just about every age, demeanor, and species. I have worked at animal control as a kennel attendant, volunteered with multiple rescues, have provided foster homes for senior dogs and cats, and have experience with exotic animals as well. I am comfortable with any age dog, to include senior dogs or young puppies, reactivity (people or other animals), administering medication, mobility issues, etc. I am currently working full time, so most of my availability will be evenings or weekends. I can dedicate as much time as necessary during visits to taking care of your pets! Having worked in rescue and at animal control, I am comfortable with handling even large dogs in almost any situation. I know the proper tools for avoiding triggering situations, redirecting attention, mental stimulation, and energy exertion.

“Always 5 stars for Chris!!! The boys love him and we can always count on him. Highly recommend!”
