JyZaree took excellent care of my senior dog. JyZaree communicated frequently. My dog got plenty of outdoor time and play time. My dog got along great with her dogs, which is important. I was quite pleased and I hope to be able to have JyZaree dogsit for us again, soon.

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide the care your pet is used to receiving at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!

My Millie LOVED Briana! She let us schedule a meet-and-greet with her own pups. When we first arrived, Millie was so excited that she ran to the door to go in. When I picked her up, she seemed very happy and content. She was even a bit of a naughty girl and jumped out of the car to tell Briana bye one last time!

Taryn did an amazing job taking care of our Strudel while we were away on vacation. She came on the scheduled days, spent time with Strudel each visit and sent photos and a detailed update. We WILL be using her again next time we are away and need Strudel looked after. Taryn is a caring person that really loves caring for animals. Thank you Taryn.

About: I have had cats all my life! When I moved out of my parents home, I ended up taking in about a dozen kittens from the street that suffered infections and illness. We vetted them and kept them fostered for a while and found them amazing forever homes! I have also helped friends and family with cat and kitten raising from bundling exercise and enrichment plans to even very basic training like name recognition, sit, spin, and harness/training. I currently have 5 cats, all around 4 years old.

About: I’ve cared for cats for over 10 years and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers their space, I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer medications, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention—or quiet companionship.

About: Featured in the picture is my old man, Charlie Chaplin... I swear he loved me. I have volunteered for many animal shelters, including feline specific ones! While some cats may be aloof and distant, I ensure they are happy at home before I step out. I have given medication, both shots and pills form. After cleaning litter boxes for over 30 cats, they arent so scary anymore!

Love having Kyleen visit, Bob. When I'm out of town I can focus on the reason I'm out of town instead of being I'm not worried about my cat. Her communication with me is the best and I can tell she truly cares about my kitties.

Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.

About: I have two dogs, a Golden Retriever (Nova) and a German Shepard (Blitz). I've had Nova since she was 8 weeks old and I've had Blitz since he was 3 months old. I've also grown up around dogs my whole life. I am a stay at home mom with a lot of time on my hands. I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs of my own to keep your fur babies happy. My dogs love playing with other dogs, we used to take them to the dog park (when we lived in Arizona) twice a week.

Huckleberry had a wonderful time with Leann. She is such a nice person and I completely trust her taking care of Huck. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Not only did I find an amazing person to take care of my puppy when I’m away, but I think I made a new friend too! Thank you!

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up always having three or four dogs at a time, so caring for animals has been part of my life from the start. I also have experience raising my own puppy, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to keep pets busy with walks, games, and basic commands. I’ve spent time around senior dogs, so I know how important it is to slow down and focus on their comfort. On top of that, I care for a few exotic pets, which has taught me to be extra responsible with routines and special needs. I’m also a CNA, so I have experience providing care, paying attention to details, and being responsible for others’ well-being. Overall, I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. Pet care is built into my daily routine. I have two pups and a few exotic animals, so every morning and evening I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and safe while I’m at school. When I get home, I take my dogs on walks, play memory games with them, and practice simple commands like sit, lay down, and shake. I’m not a trainer, but I like to keep them mentally and physically active. Each week, I also spend time cleaning enclosures, checking on my exotics, and making sure everyone has what they need. It’s just part of my day-to-day life In my home I make sure pets are safe and comfortable. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I do have an in-ground lead for outside time if needed.. I also have a kennel if I ever need to separate pets, though I don’t like to use it unless it’s really necessary. My dogs are puppies and are super friendly just very vocal! They both even get along with my mom’s ankle-biting chihuahua and I foster pups occasionally so they are used to being around different personalities. I know it might sound concerning that I’m in school, but don’t let that worry you my pets are always well taken care of when I’m gone. Day to day, I focus on giving pets attention, playtime, and making sure their needs are met so they feel at home.

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. I currently have cats and big dogs, but before them I had a senior Yorkie with special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.

About: Even though I have had dogs and cats my whole life, I also have spent many volunteer hours within Animal Shelters around the country. I am not afraid of med time (pills and needles are not a problem), cleaning kennels and vomit, or walking the biggest dogs ... as long as I get some snuggle time! I am not a trained vet tech, so you will need to show me amounts if needles are needed. I currently work part time, day side, on weekends, as needed! (Whew thats a mouthful) Which means I have plenty of time for walks and check ins of your furry loved ones. I am known for bringing a notepad and a pen around with me, but that is so I make sure I get your and your pets routine down! I dont want to disrupt their day!
