“Marie and her family have become family to us and especially our Howard. I feel comfortable to enjoy vacation knowing how happy and well cared for our furry baby is while we’re away. Thank you so much for being the wonderful caring person you are!! ❤️”

“Renee was so great with my little ones Goten and Gucci. They have never spent time with anybody else. This is the first time they stayed the night at someone else’s house. They stayed with Renee for 4 days and three nights. They had a great time. She sent pics and videos of them which made me so happy. They warmed up to her very beautifully. Thank you so much,”

“Ben loved Siennas home! I was a little worried as this was only our second time leaving him with someone and he is a solid 75 pound, hyper puppy (9 months), but he loved her house and her black lab Sully! Her family was so sweet to Ben and he got to meet some chickens! Highly recommend Sienna for a safe loving place for your pet to stay!”

“It was obvious when I picked her up that my pup enjoyed her stay with Pam. This was her first time staying out of the home without me. I received lots of photo updates throughout the stay and was at ease knowing she was in great hands! Great communication from pre-booking to after pick up :)”

About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available. My schedule changes from week to week, as I’m still engaged in the transportation of pets, so always have wife for backup. We really care about healthy life style and guarantee the best care for them. I certified the American Red Cross for pet first aid as well. All animals under my care are insured, insurance policy included veterinarian reimbursement. Meeting new animal friends is something that will always bring me joy. Your dog will be in the professional and loving care when under my watch. If I sound like someone you could trust to care for your fur babies, please send me message. DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that. A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!

About: I’m a young professional that just moved into the area and looking for some part time work.. I’ve always loved and cared for animals my entire life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have watched and taken care of my friends and family dogs since I was young. I’ve had close friends go on trips for weeks / months and would take care of their pets with great care. know how important it is to find a right person to watch your pet, and with my background and my professional nature, I know you’d feel More at ease knowing everything will be okay. Would love to help out when you’re in a tough spot and for you not having to worry about the care of your pet. I’m very respectful and reliable and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. I currently work during the week until 3 pm, but have the ability during lunch to check in and tend to the animals. I’m available after 3pm any day during the week. There are currently two dogs and a fenced in backyard at my property. Ideally would rather pet sit at your location but in tough situations I can use my house.
“Wow ! Tara was great ! My cats were very well loved while we were away - she even brought a note book to write down the details of care for my pets. I was impressed! Everything looked great when we returned home - and they were happy ! Don’t know how we found you Tara but we will definitely use u again!”

About: I love dogs that are not mine as if they were my own! I have many years of caring for dogs and other animals. I am good at taking care of multiple pets and different types of pets. I have taken care of dogs who need meds, older dogs, puppies, etc. I am engaging and loving with your pet. I am more than happy to meet your expectations and needs for you furry friend and will work with you on what you should need with flexibility and understanding. I can't wait to sit or walk your treasured baby. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people. I also teach yoga and my philosophy in life is to love all beings. 💕 I do pet drop ins or walks so I have plenty of time to love on your sweet fur baby. I treat your baby as if my own. I make a lot of time to care for your pet. Depending on your needs we can discuss your expectations and needs for your fur baby.

I can get busy but that’s ok because I’m willing to make you happy and your fur babies. I love being around animals.

About: Hey! I have experience as a veterinary professional with over 10 years of caring for pets, including emergency medicine. I’ve always had a burning passion to care for animals since I was young. I am experienced in giving medications and also providing lots of attention and love while you’re away. I have pets of my own and understand the love, care, and affection they need while you’re away and I know what it’s like to need someone special to take care of them. I enjoy being active so going on walks, playing tug-of-war, or even ball is not a problem. I love to keep pet parents updated with pictures and videos. I like to follow the same routines as you would for your furry family members to ensure they have a calm and comfortable experience. I will provide exceptional and experienced service for you and your furry friends so you can relax in knowing they are safe and comfortable:) We can always figure out a schedule that works for everyone! I am always trying to figure out what works best for everyone’s schedule, so if you have questions we can talk prior to booking. I do not board at my home. Typically to keep a nice stable and calm environment I encourage my clientele to allow me to stay at their home or periodically check in on their pets in their own home. I have found that over the years being in their own home is where pets are most comfortable and safe.
About: I've worked at an Animal Shelter for about 7 years. I've also worked and The Animal Advocate for about a 4 years. My duties were to walk them, bathe them, feed them, play with them and etc. I loved my job very much. I’m self-employed so I’m available when need to be. I will always make it my best to work around your schedule I know how important it is to be flexible. I treat all pets like they are my own pets. I really have a passion for animals. I can’t even describe how much love and passion I have for fur babies. I treat all animals with kindness and love because that’s what it’s all about.
About: I’ve trained dogs to be crate trained, potty trained and leash trained. Haven't met many dogs who don't like me, especially after interacting with them more than once. Even the little chihuahuas that are ankle biters. Our doormat says "dogs welcome, people tolerated". Let me love your floofer, pupper, doggo or whichever term you use. Flexible career where I can make time to take care of your pups. Whenever I am needed or if they’re used to a specific schedule I can make happen. Treat your space and dogs as it’s my own. I am very tidy and keep my own space well kept. I go above and beyond.
