“This was my fur baby’s first time away from our family. I couldn’t be more confident in leaving him with Erica. I got great vibes from the family and felt that his surroundings were safe. Great communication and pix. I have no doubt that my baby was given plenty of love in my absence. I would definitely recommend Erica and will be a return customer.”
“Cheyanne took great care of my 11 year old lab. Sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away missing my baby. Definitely helped ease my mind and she always returned my messages within an hour. I could tell my dog was happy to be there and she loved playing with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend Cheyanne”

I can do 2 evening visits, if needed (around 5:30 PM and around 9:30 PM) I have 2 very sociable dogs, a mix breed shelter rescue, Luna (about 40 lbs), and a great Pyrenees-German shepherd mix, Bandit (about 95 lbs).

About: Hi! I have experience caring for my family's elderly cat that passed away a few years ago. He had incontinence issues and seizures in the last few years of his life. I made sure to bathe him and love him through the end. Now I am the owner of two 1 year old cats that are beyond spoiled! I love cats and have taken care of many throughout the years. I even helped a mother cat giving birth, helped litter train her 4 kittens, and weaned them as they got older.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for my family’s pets, which included daily feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different personalities and sizes, and I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I am currently working full time, but I am available to care for your pets after 5:00 p.m. on the weekend. I am available at any time. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention, and always have fresh water. I provide regular walks, bathroom breaks, and enrichment based on each pet’s energy level and needs. I’m comfortable bathing pets when needed and keeping their space clean and safe. I also pay close attention to behavior, mood, and health, and I communicate updates and photos to owners so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.

About: I have adored all animals ever since I can remember. Being born and raised on a farm I have taken care of many types of animals. I have one loving dog, a golden-doodle named Sadie. I am familiar with taking care of dogs with special needs, special diets and those who need physical therapy. I also have experience with dogs who are partially paralyzed. One of my favorite activities includes taking my dogs on walks through local parks and towns. My experience with your pet is handled as if it was my own. I understand that each household will have their own request and I am more than willing to make your experience with me the best that I can. I work from home which gives me flexibility. I am available for morning, lunch time, and evening potty breaks during the week. On the weekends my schedule is flexible so more of my time will be spent directly with your pet! I do live on a farm where your fur baby can spend time getting their zoomies out :) We will be adding a fully fenced back yard soon; it’s on the honey do list! I consider pets to be a huge part in a family! I am more than happy to accommodate to your pet and your households needs and wishes, whatever that may be. Please let me know any expectations you may have in regards to daily feeding, diet choice, exercise, play time, exposure to other pets or humans, etc.

About: My home is where I tell people "they have me trained well". I love all animals and believe they deserve the best of treatment as they give to us so unconditionally. Any animal in our household is taken care of as they are our children. Our older dog was raised to be kind to smaller animals and seems to think anything smaller than him is his to take care of. We taught this by stroking gently and telling him to "be nice" this is just a "baby". Animals are never hit or disciplined by any harsh means, we reinforce good behavior. Our dogs get brushed every night around 7:00 and remind us if we miss the time and we treat them to a small snack every evening around 8:30 which they know also.

About: Hi! I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats as well as kittens. I have helped change diapers, clean up messes, give relaxing baths, and provide as much exercise as possible for any pets I have watched over the years. As a professional housekeeper, no incontinence issue is too much for me! As long as your fur baby is happy and safe. I am currently on leave without pay from my full time job (until an undetermined time) so I have open availability to pet sit this summer for anyone who plans on taking a little vacation! I treat all pets with kindness and patience, always keeping in mind that any "aggression" is just a tiny animal who may be scared or hurting. Every animal is different and I'm always willing to learn how to keep each one safe depending on what the owner wants. I am also willing and open to being recorded on home security cameras to build that trust, as I have them in my home as well to watch over my cats. I provide a quiet, peaceful environment for your pet or I can play for hours until they are tired!
