About: I have worked in a vets office and grooming salon so I have plenty of experience with Petcare and grooming. I am a dog lover and have had dogs for 20 years. I have also taken care of our family's dog through all walks of life- you can trust me with your puppy or senior pup! I currently work 8 hours a day just a mile down the road, however I come home for lunch at noon every day to walk my dog. If your dog is staying with me during the work week, it is not a problem at all for them to join us on the walk. After work we spend an hour+ at the dog park down the road. Must be able to last 4 hours without an accident. Let me know if that is an issue and we can see if there's a solution! I live in a house that is clean and organized, limiting anything pets can get into. I have lots of bones and toys in my house. I can assure you that your pet will be happy, safe, and calm staying with me.
“Jennifer is great! This was my first time leaving my cat with someone that wasn’t my family so I was really nervous. She made the entire process easy and is so nice and friendly. She kept me updated on Piper with pictures and sweet text messages the entire time.”

“Cameron watched our 2 kitties, Alfie and Joey, when we went to Maine. She did visits morning and night. She did a great job and sent plenty of updates and pictures. The kitties warmed right up to her. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. She is someone who loves cats and can be trusted.”

About: I have experience with diabetic cats and dogs, as well as animals that need saline boluses. I've had cats, dogs, and birds my whole life, and have had lots of experience handing cats and dogs who need extra care. If you pet has a CGM I'm familiar with those too, and am happy to keep you updated on monitored levels. I love spending time brushing and keeping up with grooming, abs have experience with long haired shih-tzus and Maine coons, so if your furry friend also needs a little extra care in the grooming department, I'm more than happy to provide! I'm on sabbatical from a research position so I thought I'd spend some time getting out of the house and enjoy the company of some furry friends on occasion. I an very respectful of your home and the safety and security of your pet and home are incredibly important to me. Litter boxes will always be clean, as will bowls and any occasional messes or accidents your furry family makes.
“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”


About: have extensive experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have cared for cats from kitten age through adulthood, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, socialization, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m patient with shy cats and know that some cats need time and a calm approach before they feel comfortable. I enjoy providing companionship, keeping their routine consistent, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, special routines, and medication needs when requested.

About: Growing up on a farm my whole life, I've developed a deep love for being outside and caring for animals. There's something incredibly fulfilling about spending time with nature and ensuring that animals are happy and healthy. This passion has been a core part of who I am and continues to bring me joy every day. Pet care fits into my daily routine by taking my dog in the morning with a walk and feeding time, followed by play sessions and check-ins throughout the day. In the afternoons, I take the dog for another walk and spend time grooming or giving them any needed care. Evenings are dedicated to one last walk and ensuring they're settled in comfortably for the night. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets in both my home and my clients' homes. I follow strict protocols to ensure pets are always supervised, properly fed, and given plenty of exercise and affection (with of course safety on walks). I also will communicate regularly with clients to keep them updated and address any concerns.

About: I currently work and have been working at a Vet clinic for about 6 years now. I’ve been pet sitting even longer, about 8 years! I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and birds. I also have experience staying overnight, drop-in visits, giving medications, and dog walking. I currently work part-time at a Vet clinic so I will absolutely have time in between, before, or after my 3-4 hour shifts to let out, feed, play with, or walk with your pets! I have been pet sitting for a while and do well with a pet’s instructions and/or schedules whether specific or not! I also care for the houses by cleaning up any messes and following any care instructions from the owners!

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry loved ones while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse, which means I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m happy to help with feeding schedules, routines, medications (if needed), and keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind. I offer loving, reliable care in your home, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and house checks. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and provide the dependable care they deserve! I offer flexible scheduling for pet care visits and can work with pet owners to find times that fit their pets’ routines. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while owners are away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make every effort to provide dependable care and keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits. I am available for scheduled daytime visits and can discuss specific needs, routines, and availability with each client. Your pets’ safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide calm, dependable care. I care for pets by treating them with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. I believe pets do best when they have a consistent routine, a safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I make sure pets are fed according to their owner’s instructions, have fresh water, a clean space, and time for play, attention, and comfort. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or energy levels so I can communicate any concerns quickly. With cats especially, I understand the importance of respecting their space, earning their trust, maintaining litter box routines, and providing gentle interaction based on their personality. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to pay close attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and recognize when something may not be right. I understand how important it is to communicate clearly and provide updates so you know your pets are safe and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.
