About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and currently have 3 dogs Chelsea, Lucy and olive. I am a huge dog lover and would own 100 if I could. I do work full time. I am available to board animals on most weekends. I am also available to walk or do drop ins daily after 330 during school and 230 during summers. I do not have a fenced in yard. Yet. I do plan on getting it fenced in either this summer or the next. I can crate animals as well. I do have 3 of my own dogs that I have trained and walk most days.

Samantha made everything wonderful for our dog, Stanley, while we were away. She sent messages and pictures to keep me updated on how things were going. I would highly recommend Samantha as a dog sitter!!

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I provide attentive care, walks, feeding, and plenty of affection so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with messages and photos. As a full-time homemaker and mom of two (plus two stepkids) with a dog of my own, caring for others is a big part of my daily life. Because I’m home most of the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on pets, go for walks, and make sure they get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I provide a safe and loving environment and treat every animal like part of the family. My yard isn’t fenced, but I have a secure tie-out and can provide additional tie-outs so dogs can safely enjoy time outside while supervised. I’m always attentive to pets’ needs and committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have cared for dogs/puppies and cats/kittens of all ages. I have years of experience caring for barnyard and exotic pets as well. I am also a registered nurse and have medical education and training to add. I love caring for animals and treat all of them just like family! Pet owners who book services with me with receive regular pictures and updates so they know their beloved pet(s) are safe and happy! I work full-time from the end of August through the end of May, but have evenings and weekends off. I have summers off and have extended breaks during Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus other holidays, allowing me plenty of opportunity to assist you with your time away from your beloved pet(s). I would be caring for your pet in your home and would be available to do overnight stays, day hours, or whatever timeframe needed while you are away.
