Personalized care for your dog or cat - Maynard

About: I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was little. I have experience with animal all breeds, sizes and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with and care for their pets while away. I'm also a vet tech student and have worked with animals in a professional setting in the past. I treat every pet like they are my own family and provide updates as well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I'll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, medication if needed and lots of love. I always do my best to accommodate each pet's individual schedule and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions and make sure pets always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I provide a calm, loving environment and will send regular photo and text updates while you're away.

“Shelby was amazing with my pup! Super reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I got daily updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Shelby for any pet sitting needs!”

“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”

“Ashley was wonderful with Sharpie! She took the time to make sure our dog was comfortable by introducing her slowly to the other animals, and it worked perfectly—everyone got along great, and Sharpie was happy and relaxed. We loved receiving the photos and appreciated Ashley’s flexibility and great communication. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Sharpie was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I have lots of professional experience caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve worked at several doggy daycares, including Camp Run-a-Mutt, where I became comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. When I lived in Atlanta, I also worked for a professional pet-sitting company for two years. I traveled throughout the city providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all different kinds of pets. I absolutely love animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and would love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! :) I'm currently working as a part-time barista, so I have plenty of time to fit in some pet sitting! My schedule is flexible! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!

“Great job. Thank you”

About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.

“I could not speak more highly of Shelby! I was traveling for my job and need a dog walker during lunch for my pup. Shelby took care of Archie like he was her own! I got so many photos and Archie was always in a good mood in the evenings!”
