Donovan was very accommodating and understanding with our pit bull! His place was very clean and seemed like a safe place for our boy. We were even running behind on our pickup time and he was very understanding and flexible. As well as sending us photo updates. Will be using him again in the future :)

Sam and her husband are great! They took care of our Goldendoodle for a week. They kept in touch with us during the week with pictures and videos. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring family to watch our Izzy. We highly recommend them and will be using them the next time we leave town. Thank you again Sam for taking such good care of our fur baby.

About: Your pets are your family and it’s no different when they are with me! I am a stay at home mom so I’m always available to give your pets cuddles or take them out on walks. I have experience with dogs who take medications, have seizures, need special diets and can handle other needs as they arise. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so we are always available to take care of your pet with walks or snuggles! Our yard has a fenced in section for pets and our neighborhood is a great environment for safe walks. We have 2 toddlers who love to run around and play so your pet will be very well entertained. We also have 2 lazy dogs and 1 sleepy cat so if your fur baby prefers naps and cuddles they will fit right in over here as well!

About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

About: I'm a senior who's has pets all my life. Love all my furbabies! We recently adopted an aussie boy who's keeping us on our toes! I am retired, so my schedule is very flexible! Not much notice needed. Peace of mind is important! I look forward to meeting your fur-babies! I am very caring and very playful depending, of course, on the needs of the pet. I will come to your home, as needed! Thanks

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: I've cared for dogs of all kinds for the past 20 years. My buddy growing up was a German Shepherd, and now I'm at the other end of the spectrum — with a goofy little Chihuahua. Your pet is part of your family. I promise to treat them like they're part of mine, too. I work from home with a flexible schedule every day, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet like my own. I'll follow all instructions you give me to the tee to make sure your pet is cared for properly. I want your pet to be as safe and secure as possible.

About: I have cared for and had pups and cats since I started elementary school, but I picked up the bigger responsibilities with caring for critters around age 15. I have three labs, (ages four, three and two), one cat and a fish. My two females have each had a healthy litter of ten puppies that I cared and found homes for! I am very attentive to my animals and their needs and even more so to other creatures. I currently work as a dog groomer and boarding technician which has given me knowledge on many different temperaments of pups and techniques on how to uniquely tend to them while having safety and care as top priority. Caring for my animals is weaved into my daily routine. I wake up early enough to tend to my pups before my kids wake up to ensure everyone’s needed are met. Depending on the weather we typically have afternoon playtimes or walkies or we will have some water play to end a hot day. Checking water/feed, refreshing water and feed, bath and brushing, and administering medications are all just a part our normal routine list at home for our critters. for in-home visits I am prepared to accompany your animal in any weather and follow through with what your pet is accustomed to. The comfort and safety of your animal is most important. I have emergency numbers for vets and contacts to assist me in an emergency situation (choking, wound, any current illnesses like seizures, etc). Saying that I am NOT a licensed veterinarian.

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and totally get their moods, quirks, and need for both space and love. I’m super patient and gentle, and I always try to bond with each cat in their own way, whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just making sure they feel safe. I’m comfortable with senior cats, kittens, giving medications, and yes… I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes either! I really enjoy making cats feel at home even when their people are away.

Stephanie and her family were absolutely wonderful. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, took my pup on a long walk, and spent lots of time playing with him. From the photos, it was clear he was having an amazing time and was very well cared for. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie!

About: I am an all around animal lover who is looking forward to taking care of your furry companion. As someone who has lived with dogs for their entire life, I know what your pet means to you and I am fully capable of providing for their needs whenever you are not around. With me, not only would I be providing them with the essentials (food, water, etc.) but I would make sure to ensure their comfort since I know how much they'll miss you (and vice versa). I am currently working part time at a local business but spend the majority of time at home. I am available most hours of the day to compassionately care for your pet! I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly dogs with plenty of space for privacy for any nervous pets visiting. We have 1 large and 1 small crate that we can easily use if your dog prefers a safe, closed-in environment. Pets are also welcome on all our furniture, I just request a fore-warning if your companion is a chewer so I know to take extra care keeping an eye on them. :) If you prefer me to come to your home to care for your pet, I would love to schedule a day to visit your home ahead of time and you can teach me their routine so I can keep them as comfortable as possible. :)
