“Kim was great and worked with us in very short notice so we could help our church assist during a disaster recovery in our state. Her responses were very quick, agreed and said watching Koda was no problem and all the times were good. We even got some cute pictures as Koda settled in. Second time he's stayed with her, and we'll definitely keep her in mind in the future.”

“Sara did a great job taking care of our large puppies. She sent about 3 pictures a day which we really enjoyed and looked forward to. She also played outside with our dogs which they loveddd. I would definitely rebook with Sara.”

“Larry and Pamela were great with Odin. They sent pictures each day and kept me up to date on how things were going. I will definitely use their services next time I need someone to watch Odin.”

“Naomi was great with Bandit! He was able to run around her fenced in back yard and watch murder mysteries! We got picture updates and kept up to date with all his adventures.”
“Heather is fantastic! Our little guy usually stays with family, so this was our first experience with a sitter. Heather took such good care of him, was very responsive, and let us have a meet and greet before the actual stay. Your pup will be in great hands!”

About: Hi there! My name is Miles and I was raised to love animals I actually grew up on a farm surrounded by horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and more! Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I currently have two pups of my own — one I rescued 8 years ago and another I adopted just last year — and they’ve only deepened my love and understanding of all kinds of pets. I have a very flexible schedule right now and am more than happy to work with you to fit your (and your fur babies’) needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pets like my own! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily adjust to fit you and your pet’s needs — whether that’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra cuddle time. I take safety and comfort seriously and always make sure pets are in a calm, secure, and happy environment and do everything to make sure you pet is safe!
“Really easy to communicate with and clearly took care of our big ol Bernese Mountain Dog very well. We brought him back for a second stay and he jumped out of the car with all the excitement to see them again without hesitation!”

About: “I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets, particularly dogs. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, daily care routines, and the importance of building trust through consistency and compassion. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and ensuring regular exercise and enrichment. I’m confident in handling dogs of various temperaments and have a natural ability to connect with animals in a calm, respectful way.” I have a part-time job. I am available from 430 till 9 PM On weekends, I’m available 9 AM till 5:30 in the afternoon always open for availability I have a yard that’s fenced lots of room for the dogs to run stretch your feet out if anything if of the dog needs to get put in a cage for an hour or two. I also have that available.
“Five Stars! MaKayla was Amazing! She watched our Archie in her own home for 11 days and each day she had him she gave daily updates and pictures. She treated him like her own. Look no further MaKayla is the one you need!!”

About: Hi! I’m Kasey Bre, a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I offer both boarding in my home and in-home care at the client’s home so your pup can stay where they’re most comfortable. I will say, I have my rate on the higher end for a reason. The pups that will get along best here and the ones treated like a family member. They’ll have a seat at the table, they can snuggle in the bed, and if they want to go for a swim in the pool- they can jump right in. My 3 year old dog obsessed mini me and myself, want to make your pups time with us like a vacation all of their own! We love taking them out to dog parks, restaurants, baseball games…if you or the dog prefers us staying around the house, we have a huge fenced in yard with an in-ground swimming pool. We’ll throw all the balls and even have your babe feeling like a hero after “saving us from drowning”. That will go to a pups head quickly though so you’ve been warned! If they get along well with other dogs, our neighboring pups love coming over to play! In our home lives Levi, our gentle 11-year-old Labrador. He’s very sweet, docile from his old age, and mostly keeps to himself downstairs due to his aging joints. Visiting dogs will mainly hangout and sleep with us upstairs but I like to mention Levi just to ensure your pup is okay with another dog in the home. I have hands on experience with potty training, basic skills training, administering medications (pills, liquids, and other methods), senior care, and energetic puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of our family. If you’re in a training process, I’m happy for you to show me the techniques you use and keep it up while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! It honestly bothers me when I know someone is just trying to pocket a little money watching someone’s little love and are not actually dog loving people. I can assure you, your dog will not feel an ounce of sadness while you’re away because we’ll keep them too busy doing fun and positive things and smothered with love from strangers, by the time they realize what’s going on- you’ll be back for them 🥰I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. No promises you won’t receive a pic with your pup wearing a towel and cucumbers on their eyes though! I’m currently a SAHM starting a little handmade and upcycling business so my schedule is pretty open and very flexible! We offer meet and greets so if you’ve never left your baby with anyone, or even if you have, you’re both welcome to come meet us and check out the space where they would be while you’re gone, ahead of time. Send us a message if you’d like to chat more or set something up with us! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, allowing for consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility. I’m home throughout the day and structure my schedule around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest so each pet’s normal routine is followed as closely as possible. We’ll throw in some random fun outings with approval 🙂 Boarded pets receive around the clock care and attention, regular and anytime potty breaks, supervised playtime and swimming time, and plenty of quiet downtime in the evenings. I’m happy to accommodate specific schedules, including medications, special feeding instructions, or preferred routines to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. For in-home care, I follow your pet’s established schedule in their own environment to minimize stress and maintain consistency. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, or more independent, I adjust care to meet their individual needs. I never show up empty handed so they’ll be super excited to see me coming! I aim to provide dependable, over the top care that feels safe and comforting so you can enjoy your time away without stressing and worrying about your babe. My goal is for it to never be an issue for you to go on a trip because your pup will see the suitcase and know they’re going on a mini vacay of their own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take a thoughtful, proactive approach to care, whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, dogs are supervised and get to hangout in a fun and loving environment. The big fenced in yard, comfy dog beds and even our beds, there’s nothing they could ever get into that could or would hurt them. We have cameras around the inside and outside of the home for an added layer of safety! In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions flawlessly. I maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide attentive-reliable care while keeping your home tidy and secure. I’m always mindful of safety during walks, feedings, and playtime. I only accept pets who are a good fit for my home and family environment, and I communicate openly with pet parents before and during care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing and what’s going on. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, fun and loving experience where both pets and their hoomans feel completely at ease and want to come back!
“We forgot to write a review for Makayla! She was really a God send. We had to leave Maxwell for almost a month with her. We were concerned because of the length of time away and also never using this type of service before. Maxwell loved Makayla so much that we thought she’d have to keep him!?(jk), my daughter wouldn’t have approved? But, I would recommend her to anyone. She will spoil your pet and take great care of him/her as well! I would definitely call Makayla again if ever the need arise. And, she sent pictures as well, which helped to come my daughter’s anxiety! Thank you so much Makayla !”

“Karla provided a loving home for my Cat Gepetto. He is very apprehensive and she was patient with him and kept me updated on his progress. He stayed for two weeks and he was like one of the family when it was time to go home. Thanks Karla!”
“Sandy is the best person to leave your dogs with! I am always worried about leaving my two working line German shepherds with someone while traveling but Sandy was amazing with them. They couldn’t have been in better hands! Sandy updated us every day with photos and videos and we really appreciated that!! We are so grateful ❤️”

“Aspen and Laycee are the best!! They are my go to sitters for my two pups and always so sweet, flexible, communicative and caring. Beyond appreciative for them both and how well they always take care of my babies when I need to travel!”

“I was very pleased with Kristina's daily updates and the care she took in watching Nymphadora while I was away. She went above and beyond and even helped put the cover back on my motorcycle when she noticed it wasn't fully on. The photo updates were also nice to receive and made me laugh seeing Nymphadora peeking at the new people in her home.”


“Kayla B. was excellent with quick responses responding to all my needs and sending me photos after her visit! I would highly recommend Kayla B. To take care of your pet needs! JoAnn 😊🌸”


About: I’ve always had a special love for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet environment and gentle attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home where your cat can relax and receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. Having volunteered with animal shelters and cared for pets throughout my life, I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a low-stress environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family member!

About: I have been around cats since I was nine years old and my friend’s cats often warm up to me quickly. I never force interaction with cats. I have cared for old and ill cats and administered medicine successfully. I am not afraid of a litter box or hairball.

About: My wife and I have always through the years had some variety of dogs and cats, male and female. Small and not so small 😊At times even birds, rabbits and Guinea pigs. We have taken care of my our grand dogs and grand kitties. We have chosen not to have our own animals friends in this season of our life because of the freedom it gives us to visit our children , grandchildren and great grandchildren we have in different states now. But feel we would enjoy helping others with their friends in our retirement. Our yard has a white picket fence and is a decent size for someone to run around in, but it is not completely fenced in. We are retired. We do not have any daily obligations anywhere. We go to church and we visit our children out of state on some of the holidays. Of course we would keep a close eye on them and see that they have water and ther food and a place to rest and as many potty breaks as needed. Also feel like they should be able to get the exercise they need with fresh air outside. Between a porch and deck that they can enjoy with us. Walking with a lease around the yard and their lease attached to an outside chain for their individual walking/running 😊

About: 🐾 About Me Pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. ❤️ I’m a military spouse and lifelong animal lover. Before being stationed in North Carolina, I spent six years working at an animal hospital in Rhode Island, where I worked as a veterinary assistant, cared for animals in the kennel, and provided dog-sitting services. I truly understand how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply someone to keep them company, I’d love the opportunity to care for them while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. 🐾❤️ I’ll care for your dogs and cats with patience, love, and lots of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m available for regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, while keeping each pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your home is your pets safe space, I'll treat it with the same care and respect I'll give your pets. During checkins, walks or playtime I will keep a close eye on their safety and follow your routines and instructions.
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am comfortable with all breeds.I work from home full time and have the flexibility for frequent bathroom breaks as needed. I have a small fenced area for ouside time and enjoy walks through the neighborhood when the weather allows. I work from home so I am able to provide care throughout the day without the worry of your pet being left alone for an extended period. On the occasions where I have to leave, pets are free to roam the house or can be crated at the owners request based off the pets comfort level and behavior when left alone. My work schedule allows for flexible breaks for pet care. I have a large back yard and live on a quiet street perfect for walks. I am also able to provide drop in visits throughout the day if caring for the animals in your home.
About: I have loved animals my whole life! So much - I could have retired many times by now - and be sipping my coffee with a view, But my view is my Loveable, Adorable - Poodle who loves me every day without restraints! And I love her just as much! I couldn't live without animals - and can't imagine my life without pets! I will love and care for your pets - just like they were my very own! I have owned every animal possible - other than snakes and spiders (I am afraid of those)… I have been owning and showing horses for 25 years at the National level - so got horses - I love them too! Call me for your pet services. I am adaptable to the dogs individual needs. Your pets will be treated, kind, loved and cared for just like I care for my own!! I have several private clients.. I work from home - I have a very tight schedule and the pet sitting helps me maintain a balance work-life. Pet sitting is my relief that forces me to accept there is more to life than working for large corporate America without breaks. I live in a small private community allows for long nice walks. If your dog likes to ride - I enjoy taking the dogs out for drives. We also own a farm (My Daughters farm and I enjoy taking the dogs over to the farm to allow them a change in scenery - If you indicate your dog may enjoy that experience).
About: I’m a SAHM whose 2 year toddler can’t seem to get enough of our own fluffy friends! We can’t to play with yours! I have had my own 2 dogs for about 8-9 years but have had animals my whole life growing up on a diary farm. June is our blue nose staffordshire terrier who lives for fetch followed by a good snooze and kisses and Mila is our fluff ball of joy and crazy eyes, who unfortunately never quite runs out of energy and can sometimes be a bit mischievous like many other high energy husky’s so I have much experience with caring for high energy dogs! While staying with me you can be sure to know your dog will have plenty of room to roam in and outside of our house with our 1 acre yard that is perfect for some chuck-it fetch time and being able to do their business with plenty of room. I also pride myself in keeping my home clean to include the outside so you never have to worry about your dogs picking up any illness during their time with in our home. We can’t wait for your little four legged friends to have a comfortable and worry free stay with us! Home all day unless I gotta take a quick trip to the grocery store or get a little workout in. I usually workout that leaves us from the house for no more than 2 hrs. I have a fully fenced in acre back yard that is cleaned daily to ensure the yard stays as poop free as possible and keep a clean and tidy home so dogs are not in danger of consuming old toys or other objects that they may have a hard time digesting. We also have hard wood floors which helps with my allergy prone visitors!
About: Hello! Let me tell you a little bit about why your puppies and I should hang out! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, dogs especially! I am the person who stops a conversation to say “look a dog!”. Over the years I’ve learned many different skills including but not limited to.. dog behavior/body language, dogs with disabilities, basic medication and training. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors alike for many years and recently had the opportunity to work more directly with behavior and care needs to hone in my skills even more. I’m very comfortable with all breeds, sizes and ages. There is a saying “everyone believes that they have the best dog in the world and everyone is right”. With this in mind your pets are the best and will receive the same love and care as my own! Rover is my full time career so your pets and I will hang out all day and night together! Your pets routine is very important! Your animals safety is number one priority. You will receive regular updates and photos and if there is anything specific to your pets a written description would be greatly appreciated so everyone is on the same page

About: I’ve had dozens of different animals since I was young. Ranging from farm animals, domestic animals, parrots and reptiles. Medication administration experience and bottle feeding as well. No care details are too extra or complicated. I am open to sitting any type of animal! I am home full time aside from errands with my little ones. I have a mini farm as I call it. Dogs, chickens, cats, ducks and more. I am outside majority of the day. We do love going to the park where my bulldog enjoys the dog area as well, so if you’re ok with it, trips to the park may be part of your pets stay!

I have a very long gravel driveway away from the main road. I have leads, collars, harnesses and cages if needed. I have baby gates in home if needed as well. My two dogs love everyone, they can just be overly friendly! Our oldest cat’s go outside a lot, so they are usually busy all day. Our youngest cat loves to play with everyone including dogs, but likes to stay inside. My female dog is not spayed, un neutered males will either be supervised or separated at night time.
About: I got my first puppy when I was eight years old. I grew up learning how to care for her from my dad. She was protective, loving, and my best friend. After she passed away, I recused a new puppy from my neighbors who were unable to care for him. All on my own I was able to house train him, make him less food aggressive, and even teach him some tricks like high-five and roll over! He is my new best friend and a part of my family. Since I am at school, he is currently back home with my dad. I miss him so much! I would love to get to know some new furry friends and treat them with the love and care family deserves. I am a full time student at UNC but am home for the summer to take care of all your furry friends! Rover is my full time job and I am capable of handling multiple bookings at a time. I am very careful and responsible when it comes to taking care of myself and others. I would stick to a routine and follow any guidelines that were previously set for me. It is always my goal to leave every pet happy and well taken care of in any environment.

“Kim was great and worked with us in very short notice so we could help our church assist during a disaster recovery in our state. Her responses were very quick, agreed and said watching Koda was no problem and all the times were good. We even got some cute pictures as Koda settled in. Second time he's stayed with her, and we'll definitely keep her in mind in the future.”

“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Connie was a fantastic sitter for our dear Zoe over the Thanksgiving holiday! She provided photos and updates, which was nice to see while we missed her. Thanks again Connie for your great care of our precious girl! We'll see you again soon!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life. I am good with them I know basic care and are able to handle cats and dogs! I will be doing a dentist program soon. I am able to care for animals nightly and during weekends! Daily if able to do so. I have a big fenced yard. I have two dogs that love to play! I can definitely crate if needed and also help them get warmed up!

About: I provide experienced, in-home pet care with a calm, structured environment — not a crowded kennel. I focus on personalized attention, routines, and making each dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable like they’re at home. I structure my daily and weekly schedule around pet care, allowing me to be present throughout the day. This ensures consistent routines, regular check-ins, and personalized attention for every pet. I care for pets using a structured, supervised setup. I have multiple indoor kennels for comfort and safety, a fully fenced backyard with outdoor kennels for supervised play and fresh air, and a climate-controlled shed for temperature-safe rest and rotation. Pets are never left unsupervised, and I rotate time between indoor comfort, outdoor activity, and rest to ensure safety, cleanliness, and individualized care.

About: I am always working from home and usually available. I take care of my own two elder cats and my newest 2 year old 75 lb ridgeback dog. I’ve taken care of plenty of family and friends pets before too. My dog is trained and gets along with others and I also have a huge fenced in yard filled with toys. I work from home full time which gives me a lot of time to walk, play, and sit all animals. My job is not very demanding but I do have meetings throughout the day. I take safety very seriously. My two cats are dog friendly and they are elderly so they will usually stay clear of any animals besides myself and my husband. My dog is very playful and I do let her outside in my closed fenced yard. I will always supervise play and watch over them as if they were my own.

About: Safe space 🤙🏻 Former military, so timeliness and attention to detail are a must. I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life and haven’t found one I don’t love! My wife brought a sweet one eyed cat into my life and I have found a new love for them as well. I currently have a 10 year old senior pitbull and a very high energy 1 year old american bully who would be a great play friend for any energy matching dog. I love to run and my previous dog was the best running partner I ever had. I would love to find an athlete to take out for some exercise! I currently work Tue-Sat and available after 2pm. My days completely off during the week are Sun & Mon but I am still available for walks and play in the afternoons throughout the week. I have an approx 3/4 acre fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. I have 2 friendly dogs, a lazy 10 year old and a high energy 1 year old that has yet to meet his match!
“I cannot express how grateful I am! She provided several pictures every day and each one made me relieved to know they were being taken care of. 10/10 recommend! Would absolutely use again! THANK YOU FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF MY BABIES! 🐾💗”

About: Hi! I’m Kasey Bre, a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I offer both boarding in my home and in-home care at the client’s home so your pup can stay where they’re most comfortable. I will say, I have my rate on the higher end for a reason. The pups that will get along best here and the ones treated like a family member. They’ll have a seat at the table, they can snuggle in the bed, and if they want to go for a swim in the pool- they can jump right in. My 3 year old dog obsessed mini me and myself, want to make your pups time with us like a vacation all of their own! We love taking them out to dog parks, restaurants, baseball games…if you or the dog prefers us staying around the house, we have a huge fenced in yard with an in-ground swimming pool. We’ll throw all the balls and even have your babe feeling like a hero after “saving us from drowning”. That will go to a pups head quickly though so you’ve been warned! If they get along well with other dogs, our neighboring pups love coming over to play! In our home lives Levi, our gentle 11-year-old Labrador. He’s very sweet, docile from his old age, and mostly keeps to himself downstairs due to his aging joints. Visiting dogs will mainly hangout and sleep with us upstairs but I like to mention Levi just to ensure your pup is okay with another dog in the home. I have hands on experience with potty training, basic skills training, administering medications (pills, liquids, and other methods), senior care, and energetic puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of our family. If you’re in a training process, I’m happy for you to show me the techniques you use and keep it up while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! It honestly bothers me when I know someone is just trying to pocket a little money watching someone’s little love and are not actually dog loving people. I can assure you, your dog will not feel an ounce of sadness while you’re away because we’ll keep them too busy doing fun and positive things and smothered with love from strangers, by the time they realize what’s going on- you’ll be back for them 🥰I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. No promises you won’t receive a pic with your pup wearing a towel and cucumbers on their eyes though! I’m currently a SAHM starting a little handmade and upcycling business so my schedule is pretty open and very flexible! We offer meet and greets so if you’ve never left your baby with anyone, or even if you have, you’re both welcome to come meet us and check out the space where they would be while you’re gone, ahead of time. Send us a message if you’d like to chat more or set something up with us! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, allowing for consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility. I’m home throughout the day and structure my schedule around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest so each pet’s normal routine is followed as closely as possible. We’ll throw in some random fun outings with approval 🙂 Boarded pets receive around the clock care and attention, regular and anytime potty breaks, supervised playtime and swimming time, and plenty of quiet downtime in the evenings. I’m happy to accommodate specific schedules, including medications, special feeding instructions, or preferred routines to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. For in-home care, I follow your pet’s established schedule in their own environment to minimize stress and maintain consistency. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, or more independent, I adjust care to meet their individual needs. I never show up empty handed so they’ll be super excited to see me coming! I aim to provide dependable, over the top care that feels safe and comforting so you can enjoy your time away without stressing and worrying about your babe. My goal is for it to never be an issue for you to go on a trip because your pup will see the suitcase and know they’re going on a mini vacay of their own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take a thoughtful, proactive approach to care, whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, dogs are supervised and get to hangout in a fun and loving environment. The big fenced in yard, comfy dog beds and even our beds, there’s nothing they could ever get into that could or would hurt them. We have cameras around the inside and outside of the home for an added layer of safety! In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions flawlessly. I maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide attentive-reliable care while keeping your home tidy and secure. I’m always mindful of safety during walks, feedings, and playtime. I only accept pets who are a good fit for my home and family environment, and I communicate openly with pet parents before and during care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing and what’s going on. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, fun and loving experience where both pets and their hoomans feel completely at ease and want to come back!
“Katrina is a wonderful sitter and I would 100% recommend her. She sincerely loves your pets and puts in an extra effort out to make sure that they are happy and taken care off. She is flexible and accommodates to your pets regular routine and special needs. And most importantly she is super responsive and provides frequent updates about your babies.”

About: I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with over 14 years of fostering dogs through two local rescue organizations. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all different personalities, ages, sizes, and needs, giving me plenty of experience helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pets aren’t just animals in my care—they’re family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as I would want someone to treat my own. One of my biggest strengths is my extreme flexibility. I understand that life doesn’t always go according to schedule, and I’m happy to work with your routine and your pet’s individual needs. Whether you need a last-minute change, an unusual schedule, or care that requires a little extra time and attention, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be available for your pets throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 work schedule, I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship. Working from home also means your pet can have plenty of attention and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods of time. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and individual needs, and I do my best to keep their normal schedule so they feel at ease while you’re away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, affection, and companionship, while also respecting pets who prefer a little quiet time and space. When staying in my home, pets have access to my fully fenced-in yard with over an acre of space and a privacy fence, giving them plenty of room to safely explore, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some outdoor time. I love giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while still having a secure and supervised environment to come back to.

About: For the past year I've been pet sitting for friends and clients. I take care of the feeding, walks, and playtime, and I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to. I set my own work hours, so it's pretty easy for me to fit pet care in. I'm usually free weekday evenings and weekends and I'm happy to plan visits around whatever your pet's used to. Since I have two dogs myself, I know all about that stuff. You can be assured that your dog will get his food on time, he will get enough potty stops and play as well. My backyard is fenced / I walk him always on the leash, and I will be checking all the doors and gates each time.
