“Angela and Stephen really came through for us! We had to take a trip with only about 15 hrs notice and they were able to take care Frankee so we could go pick up our sick girl from camp without worry. Definitely recommend and will use them again!”
“I was a nervous wreck leaving our puppy for the first time and she made this whole experience absolutely wonderful. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely try to book with her in the future if possible.”
“Dan is amazing!! She went above and beyond and gave multiple updates each day with photos and how my cat was doing. Dan cared for her like she was her own and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and quirks. She was always on schedule with feedings and changing the litter. My cat thoroughly enjoyed spending time there and was living her best life! I will definitely Rover with Dan again. I would highly recommend Dan to care for your pet!!”
“Gabriella took great care of my older dog. Winnie seem d very hapoy (although tired) after her stay at Gabreilla’s. Her dog Yeti is really good with other dogs and became buddies with my dog that don’t used to being around other animals. Highly recommend Gabreilla for any pet sitting needs”
“Kelly and David were fantastic and such great people! We had a last minute boarding request and met them virtually. They treated our Roxy like she was their own and kept in great communication and lots of updates with photos! It was great knowing Roxy was in good hands while we were gone and having a great time. I would highly recommend then and Roxy can’t wait to go back!”
“Nancy was great! Awesome communication! We have a 4yr golden lab and 7mth mastiff/Pitt. Our pups stayed 2 nights. Our dogs warmed up right away. Def will be reaching out for help again!”
“Daniel and his family were great with Kallie. She was able to get a lot of play time in to tire her out for our long drive home. Daniel was very friendly and I'm glad he was able to care for Kallie. ”
“We needed a boarding sitter for our sweet Minnie girl on pretty short notice, due to a death in the family. Stefan was absolutely fabulous and took such good care of her! He didn’t mind at all giving her eye drops and medications and changing her diapers frequently. You can tell he loves dogs and he was so happy to have our little 10lb Minnie for the three days we were gone. And Minnie was a happy girl while while she was there; she especially loved the ability to roam in his fenced in back yard, which we do not have!! I will definitely contact him first when we need boarding again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy dog sitter who understands that your pet is more than just an animal—they’re family. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. Even being a busy working mom of 3, my husband and I both work from home and have open availability to take in and love on additional fur babies! I provide: • A safe, clean, and comfortable home environment, my husband and I both work from home and can provide the flexibility needed to watch your loved pet. • Plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. We have 3 children, 16, 11 and 5 as well as our 2 miniature long haired dachshunds.

“Jim has a great set up of safe dog areas. Super friendly and kind! They loved on my dogs as if they were their own. My girls came home happy without skipping a beat! On other occasions, it's taken a few days for them to get back to normal behavior. Not this time! I didn't worry at all about them while I was gone. I will ask them to watch my pups again!”
“Arabella had a great time at Arla's house! Arla did a great job keeping us informed of how Arabella was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her and her family again!”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”

We will rebook with her when we have need of sitter!”

“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”
“I couldn't recommend Kasey enough! She is very responsive and I knew my cats were well cared for while I was away. I appreciate how she took the time to play with and brush my boys - she really went above and beyond.”
About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.
“Wow! Molly is fantastic. We left for a 10 day long trip for our honeymoon and she made us feel so at ease. We got daily updates of our sweet boys which helped us stay in the loop during our trip. They adored her and normally when we get home from vacation they are noticeably stressed, but not this time. I cannot thank Molly enough for her genuine love of animals. Smokey and Cheddar thank you too!”
About: As both a lifelong cat owner and someone with veterinary technician experience, I understand feline behavior, health, and the importance of keeping cats calm and comfortable in their own environment. I provide attentive care including feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and close monitoring for any health or behavioral changes. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and handling cats with patience and respect for their individual personalities. I truly love cats and treat every one in my care as if they were my own.
About: I moved from Kentucky and am beginning to get settled into the lifestyle of Orlando. I had a very successful Rover business in Kentucky and though some aspects have changed, I would live to get started here. I love being able to help pet owners in the area of housesitting, dog walking and drop ins so that they don't have to put their dog in a kennel or pay way too much for a doggie day care with non-specialized attention. I have been through four leveled trainings with Calli and we have our Therapy License in the state of Kentucky! I am available throughout the week and on the weekends. I love to walk dogs and give them time to run in the yard with a more structured play. Your dog will be greatly cared for and loved. I will devote time to not only give them the physical needs of walking of running, but also the emotional needs. Your dog will get the royal treatment!
About: I have taken care of cats all my life but I haven’t had my own until 5 years ago so I don’t count my childhood as actually caring for them. As an adult I absolutely love taking care of them and getting in as much cuddle time as possible.
About: As a graduate student and lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I currently have full availability on Wednesdays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays between 7–9 PM. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire life both big and small. We currently have a medium dog who is a dream to walk, and a large dog who walks us but we love both just the same! We would love to host your fur baby at our house or drop in just to give them some love! We have 2 kids who have been raised around animals. Our normal attire is dog hair so we’re not afraid of some shedding. We haven’t been able to stretch our legs out in our bed in 10 years because no matter how comfy our dogs bed is they always end up on ours so we don’t mind if they are on our furniture or bed!
About: Hi! My name is Allie! My life revolves around my two border collies. We are constantly off finding adventures...hiking down new trails, swimming in lakes, herding sheep! Of course, we love an inside, sit on the couch type of day, as well. Whichever kind of day your pet needs, I would love the opportunity to care for them. I attended three years of veterinary technician school and have worked in several hospitals and shelter settings. From all those experiences, I learned how to interact with different personalities and treat medical emergencies. I am now in a different field that allows me to work from home the majority of the time. Therefore, I will be available to spend all day with your pets! I have also had horses my whole life and grew up working on ranches. If you have a hobby farm or other animals that need to be cared for, I am happy to do that as well! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I can't wait to meet you and your furry ones! I work from home most days. If I am called away, then it is for a couple hours at a time. My goal is to never leave your pup alone for more than a couple of hours. In that time, they can either be crated or have full access to our guest room for all their napping needs. :) I have a very large, fully fenced in backyard to play in. I have two border collies that have never met a stranger. Depending on your dogs needs, we will take the proper steps to ensure every one is safe and happy for the entirety of their stay.
About: What truly sets me apart is the level of hands-on experience I have with dogs who need extra care. My wife and I have had rescue dogs for over 20 years, and almost every one of them has come to us with medical or emotional challenges. Our first boy developed seizures right after we adopted him, and we gave him medication twice a day for his entire 14-year life. We’ve also cared for dogs with cancer, managed daily medications, and even administered at-home IV treatment when one of our girls needed it. Right now, one of our dogs is going through cancer treatment, and we handle multiple medications, special routines, and close monitoring. Because of this, I’m extremely comfortable giving meds, following detailed care plans, watching for changes in behavior, and providing calm, patient support for senior or medically fragile dogs. In our home, dogs aren’t “pets”—they’re our kids. I bring that same level of love, attention, and respect into every home I care for. Your dog will be treated with the same care, patience, and compassion I give my own. After selling my business, I finally have the freedom to spend my days doing something I genuinely love—being there for dogs who need real attention, not just a quick stop-in. If your pet is older, recovering, dealing with health issues, or simply happier with someone calm and consistent around, I provide steady, patient care right in their home. With an open, flexible schedule, I can stay with your dog as much as needed—perfect for pets that need regular meds, mobility help, special meals, or just someone who won’t rush them. I’m comfortable handling messes, encouraging slow or selective eaters, and adjusting to whatever routine your dog is used to. Light play, companionship, and several relaxed walks (when appropriate) are always included. I take your trust seriously—both with your pet and with your home. I know it’s a big deal to let someone into your personal space, and I handle that responsibility with real respect. I don’t go through anything that isn’t mine, and I keep your home exactly the way you left it. I’m also happy to help with the small things while you’re away—bringing in packages, watering plants, keeping things neat, and making your place look lived-in for added peace of mind. My approach is simple: calm, dependable, and focused. I’m not rushing in and out or checking the clock. My attention stays on your dog and what they need, not on squeezing the visit into a tight schedule.
“Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!”
About: I’ve always been around animals, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I currently work at Happy Hounds, a dog daycare, where I’ve been caring for dogs for nearly two years. During this time, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of many different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including feeding routines, walking, cleaning, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society, which taught me how to work patiently with animals who may be nervous, shy, or adjusting to new environments. I understand the importance of reading body language, moving at the animal’s pace, and providing calm, consistent care. At home, I have my own dog, a pug, and my own cat, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, different temperaments, and the individual attention pets need. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I am able to administer medication when needed, always following instructions carefully to keep pets healthy and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention and cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I always strive to provide safe, loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule carefully around work and school so I can provide reliable, attentive care. On days when I have class or longer work shifts, I’m available in the mornings or evenings, and on lighter days and weekends I have more flexibility for visits, walks, and extended care. Because I care for my own dog and cat every day, I’m very familiar with maintaining routines like feeding, walking, and playtime. When I have school, my dog attends the dog daycare where I work, so she stays active, socialized, and well cared for instead of being home alone. This allows me to fully focus on the pets I’m caring for and keep everyone comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistency and communication so pet parents can feel confident their pets are receiving dependable, loving care throughout the week. Availability: Mondays: Available mornings and evenings (unavailable 9am–3pm due to class) • Tuesdays: Available evenings only (message for actual times) • Wednesdays: Available mornings and evenings (unavailable 9am–3pm due to class) • Thursdays: Available evenings only (Message for actual times) • Fridays: Available late afternoons/evenings (working 7am–1pm and class 2pm–3pm) • Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): Generally available and flexible I prefer to care for pets in their own home, as it’s less stressful for them to stay in a familiar environment and routine. Caring for pets in their own home also makes it more convenient for clients, as there’s no need to transport your pet. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and shy.
About: I love love love cats and I truly do try to understand each individual cat the best I can, they are facinating intelligent creatures who we can even learn from. I’ve grown up and have never experienced a moment without one allowing me to transmit my skill of caregiver to other pets that may need it :)

About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments.

In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior.

They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
About: About Me: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have more than 10 years of experience with cats and dogs. My husband, our 5-year-old son, and I care for pets together, so your cutie gets lots of attention, companionship, and a warm home atmosphere. We genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—playing, relaxing, and giving them the affection they deserve. We love the outdoors, so if your pet enjoys it too, we’re happy to include fun adventures like neighborhood walks, gentle hikes, and fresh-air outings—always tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and routine. If I’m staying in a city with a nearby beach, such as San Jose or San Francisco (where I sometimes visit family), we may also enjoy a beach outing, always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your pet. For pets who prefer a quieter pace, we’re just as happy to provide calm companionship, enrichment, and cozy cuddle time at home. Cleanliness and health are a big priority for me. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe environment—deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas tidy, refreshing water bowls, and making sure pet spaces stay comfortable and sanitary. I believe the small details truly make a big difference for pets and their families. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to behavior cues, routines, and preferences—whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior. Daily Updates: I will send daily updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel relaxed while you’re away. I can also include notes on meals, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and overall mood if you’d like. What You Can Expect: Loving, family-style care and companionship Clean, healthy pet environment (litter box/feeding area hygiene) Routine-focused care (meals, meds if needed, walk schedules) Daily photo + video updates for peace of mind On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper tasks like thorough litter box cleaning, refreshing food and water stations, and ensuring medications or special diets are handled with care. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, these responsibilities don’t feel like chores — they’re a rewarding part of my everyday life. The boarding is available daily after around 3 p.m. When I board pets in my home, I treat them as part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime habits — so they feel comfortable and secure.

About: Never had my childhood home had less than 5 animals. I've grown up taking care of dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rats, mice, gerbils, bunnies, and turtles-most of those under solely my care. I've always loved caring for my animals and watching them grow. I'm currently working a very flexible schedule Monday-Friday so I will be available almost any time! With weekends, just ask! I can usually squeeze in a visit/walk no problem. We have a 3200 sq ft 2 level home with a large unfenced yard. I have one friendly 8 year old female labradoodle, one very sweet, friendly, and energetic 1 year old newfoundland mix, and another very nonchalant 5 year old male cat. I also have a 9 year old son and a 3 year old son who both love and respect animals. Our home is a very comfortable space for any kid friendly animal to enjoy. We feed 2x a day, let them out to potty at least 4x a day-I will leash if necessary.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets, horses, and even some exotic animals. I’ve worked and alongside veterinarian's in both small animal hospitals and equine practices — so your pets are always in safe, knowledgeable hands. Whether it’s a puppy, cat, or horse, I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, gentleness, and attention to their needs. I’m comfortable with special care routines, medication schedules, and animals of all sizes and temperaments. Because I love working with animals and caring for them it is a stress reliever and gives me satisfaction with spending time with animals of all kinds. When I care for pets in your home, my goal is to make them feel completely comfortable and loved while keeping their normal routines consistent. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and preferences — whether that means quiet snuggles, long walks, or plenty of playtime!
About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.
About: I have owned dogs since I was little. Now I have my very own dog and hopefully will have another in a few years. I have watched my friend's dogs before and helped care for sick dogs. I have a very fun and young Lab named Pheona. She’s a good first dog to call my own but I have learned so much from her. It also made my love for dogs stronger. I do not mind coming in and checking on dogs or cats. I also love going on walks with dogs and definitely would love to take dogs for a walk. I can also help keep up training or help out with training. I am comfortable around pretty much all sizes of dogs. I myself have a larger-sized dog but I have lived with a variety of sizes of dogs. I’m a very friendly individual so don’t be afraid to reach out to communicate with me.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and know how to treat them with care and respect. I grew up with multiple animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit as long as it’s outside my work time (usually I work 1 or 2 days a week but other than that I’m free) I will care for your pet according to whatever instructions you give me and I will of course treat your pet with kindness and the love it deserves, just as you would.
About: What truly sets me apart is the level of hands-on experience I have with dogs who need extra care. My wife and I have had rescue dogs for over 20 years, and almost every one of them has come to us with medical or emotional challenges. Our first boy developed seizures right after we adopted him, and we gave him medication twice a day for his entire 14-year life. We’ve also cared for dogs with cancer, managed daily medications, and even administered at-home IV treatment when one of our girls needed it. Right now, one of our dogs is going through cancer treatment, and we handle multiple medications, special routines, and close monitoring. Because of this, I’m extremely comfortable giving meds, following detailed care plans, watching for changes in behavior, and providing calm, patient support for senior or medically fragile dogs. In our home, dogs aren’t “pets”—they’re our kids. I bring that same level of love, attention, and respect into every home I care for. Your dog will be treated with the same care, patience, and compassion I give my own. After selling my business, I finally have the freedom to spend my days doing something I genuinely love—being there for dogs who need real attention, not just a quick stop-in. If your pet is older, recovering, dealing with health issues, or simply happier with someone calm and consistent around, I provide steady, patient care right in their home. With an open, flexible schedule, I can stay with your dog as much as needed—perfect for pets that need regular meds, mobility help, special meals, or just someone who won’t rush them. I’m comfortable handling messes, encouraging slow or selective eaters, and adjusting to whatever routine your dog is used to. Light play, companionship, and several relaxed walks (when appropriate) are always included. I take your trust seriously—both with your pet and with your home. I know it’s a big deal to let someone into your personal space, and I handle that responsibility with real respect. I don’t go through anything that isn’t mine, and I keep your home exactly the way you left it. I’m also happy to help with the small things while you’re away—bringing in packages, watering plants, keeping things neat, and making your place look lived-in for added peace of mind. My approach is simple: calm, dependable, and focused. I’m not rushing in and out or checking the clock. My attention stays on your dog and what they need, not on squeezing the visit into a tight schedule.
About: I have taken care of many animals my entire life. I have been pet sitting for my family for many years either for adult dogs or puppies, cats and kittens. I love all animals and throughly enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing fetch, going on walks and cuddle times. I am currently a stay at home mom. Both my children are in school now so I have time to spend loving on animals during the day. I am available on weekdays 7:30am-2pm and 6:30pm-9:30pm. On weekends I’m pretty much available all day. I have a large fenced in back yard, I have one dog and one cat. I can crate a dog if needed. I am happy to feed, water and walk your animals.
About: As a graduate student and lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I currently have full availability on Wednesdays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays between 7–9 PM. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.

“Brooke is fantastic! Our high-energy dog gets great exercise and adores her. Brooke is friendly, trustworthy, and reliable. Great experience. We highly recommend her.”
About: I've personally had dogs for over 20+ years. My pack has been as small as 1, but as large as 5. I've been active in rescue groups and truly feel like dogs are the answer for any sadness. I've recently lost my soul dog after a 2 year struggle with cancer. My heart isn't ready for another dog, so I am hoping I can still get my cuddles in and help people out in the meantime. I've become a pro at giving medicine, so if you need a midday dose giver, Im your gal! I'm a realtor, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can make most days or evenings work. Whatever your pup needs, I can make it happen! I follow orders, so I won't put your dog into a situation they aren't familiar with. I totally get all animals are different and respect how people work with their own.
About: I have nearly 10 years of hands on childcare experience and have cared for pets alongside families for years, so safety, structure, and attentiveness are second nature to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and ability to read behavior cues quickly. I am experienced with puppies and young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and extra monitoring. Special skills include: • Puppy basics and reinforcement of training routines • Crate training support • Maintaining structured feeding and potty schedules • Senior pet support and comfort care • Administering oral medications • High energy breed management • Detailed updates with photos and communication you can rely on I treat every pet like they are my own while respecting your household rules and routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nanny, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule. During the school year, I often have breaks in the day while the child is at school or activities, which allows me time for drop in visits, walks, and check ins. I do not work late evenings, and my weekends are typically open, which gives me consistent availability for overnight stays and extended care. Because I’m already in a caregiving role professionally, being attentive, reliable, and routine oriented is built into my day to day life. Caring for animals complements my schedule well and allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and household rules exactly as outlined. I am extremely respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. Cleanliness, security, and clear communication are very important to me. You can expect reliable updates, photos, and prompt responses while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, low stress experience so your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their familiar space.
About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them. As each year has passed, i’ve taken care of more dogs along with other pets like guinea pigs,birds,fish and cats. i’m capable of taking care of senior dogs and ones with special needs.

I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.
