“I'm hesitant to say too many nice things about Maria as I fear it will make her too popular and harder to book with her. :-) We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to stay than at Maria's Little Dog Senior Center. We appreciated that she focuses on smaller, older pups who might need a bit more attention and want a slower pace. We received plenty of texts, photos and videos to assure us that all was well. Above all else, you absolutely get the sense that Maria is doing this simply because she loves dogs and knows there are owners that want a sitter to care for their pet as much as they do. Recommended 1000%!”
“Josh is very responsive and always takes good care of our pup. We are very picky with who we leave Kona with and Josh is amazing. Kona has stayed with Josh several times and never wants to leave when we go pick her up. We love the photos he sends us every day and our pup always looks so happy hanging out with Josh.”
“James is always wonderful with Bonnie! His patience, attentiveness, and genuine care make every interaction positive and enjoyable. Bonnie responds so well to his calm demeanor and thoughtful approach. Whether it's during her stay with him, walks, or just spending time together, James consistently demonstrates reliability and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate individual. His dedication and expertise truly set him apart, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone as exceptional as James.”
“Wynona and Jeremy were fantastic! So friendly and communicative! They loved Chewie and made sure he was well cared for and happy! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Mike was great at communicating leading up to and during the boarding. Our dog Frankie warmed up to Mike and his wife Sherri very quickly. She got lots of exercise and was in such a happy mood when we picked her up. We were very happy to meet Mike and will be excited to have Frankie visit again.”
“Alexa and her family were such great hosts and caretakers for our dog Bo - lovely to coordinate with and obviously provided a super good care. Could tell Bo was relaxed and happy from the regular photo/video updates. Will definitely try to rebook with Alexa again soon! 🐾 🦮❤️”
“Bailey & Kyle took good care of our puppy. We started with a day long visit, then scheduled an overnight stay and graduated to a week long stay. She stays busy playing and comes home happy and tired.”
“This was Shadow's second stay with Jenn and he was so excited upon arrival I don't think he noticed when I left. I got plenty of pictures and updates and Shadow look like he's having a great time. I highly recommend Jenn.”
“Coco had a great time with Julie and we came back to a happy dog. Well rested and played and well mannered. She used to tug so much on her leash and stopped doing that after Julie helped train her during the day. Truly super Julie! Thanks again for an awesome stay Julie, looking forward to the next one!”
“It was our first time ever boarding our dog. Kirsten and her family were spectacular! From the first time we met her and Bear (her dog) we knew we had made the perfect choice. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation and our dog was so happy and made lots of new friends. Leaving Bodhi with them gave us such peace of mind. We are using them again at the end of July.”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Lindsey and her beautiful family took such great care of our pup for a few days! We loved the pics and updates while we were away, we can’t wait to book with Lindsey again.”
“Jessica was great! She was communicative throughout, and I felt really comfortable leaving Dakota with her. Her dog, Ollie, is super sweet, and he and Dakota got along really well. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Luke and Brownie always have the best time with Debbie! We completely trust her and always choose her for their adventures. She is beyond amazing, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to care for them ❤️”
“Donna took both of our dogs, Dougal and Daisy, on a very short timeframe and during the 4th of July holiday due to a death in our family. She sent regular updates and made us feel secure that our dogs were being well cared for. That meant a lot to us during a difficult time. Thanks Donna for your kindness to our furry kids!”

About: I am new to the world of cats but determined to make your loved one my best friend! I have a few neighborhood cats that I feed and am always looking for more experiences with pets of any kind.
“Always feels good knowing my little fur baby is being cared for by Deanna. She's been taking care of my animals for a while now and does a wonderful job. Highly recommend:)”
About: Hi! I’m Madison ☺️ I’ve been caring for pets for 8+ years through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for friends, family, and repeat clients. My boyfriend and I both work in travel healthcare, so caring for others (including animals) is naturally a huge part of who I am. My boyfriend Victor is listed on the account for the off chance he would need to do a visit for me. However, I plan to make every single visit I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and worry-free while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family and get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, walks, potty breaks, and love while in my care. I’m especially great with: • High-energy dogs • Pets that need extra attention or patience • Keeping routines consistent • Sending frequent photo/video updates ☺️ Because of my flexible schedule between travel contracts, I’m often able to give pets lots of one-on-one time and attention instead of leaving them alone for long hours. A little extra about me: • Non-smoker • Very clean/respectful in clients’ homes • Experienced with anxious/shy pets • Happy to accommodate special requests when possible I also offer walks/jogs for energetic dogs who need to burn off some extra energy 🐾 Feel free to message me with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pets! Throughout the week my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. On the weekends I do work but still able to care for your pets as it’s a mid shift! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine and lifestyle 😊 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty routines, and any special requests. I also provide regular photo/video updates so you always know how your pet is doing ☺️
About: I had cats all growing up and loved them dearly. I rescued a senior cat as an adult, and gave him a loving home. I have often been asked to take care of my neighbor’s cats and they have always been pleased with my responsive care. I can’t wait to take care of your sweet kitty!
About: I have been living with and caring for cats of varying ages since I was a small child. Cats truly delight me! They are mysterious souls who each have a unique personality. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friends!
“Anne was fantastic! She accommodated a last minute booking for my senior cat Chandler Bing. She checked in on him daily, cuddled with him and made sure his food/water never ran dry. Could not appreciate her more for helping look out for him. Thank you!”
“I booked Deb for a few drop in visits to take care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She was great! My cats loved her, and she kept me updated with pictures and videos during her visits.”
“Alyssa is amazing! I highly recommend. I just moved to Washington and was panicking about leaving my babies for a few days not knowing anyone. I found her profile on Rover and reached out because she looked like she would be amazing with animals. She sent me the cutest pictures and was so sweet with them! I have one cat who is scared of most people. She let Alyssa love all over her. I love knowing I have someone I trust to take care of my babies while I’m gone. I am so thankful for her!”
“Mary-Elizabeth is fantastic with our cat. She sends us photos and videos from each visit and Ayo seems to be having such a great time. It's great knowing he is so well cared for while we are gone.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always the one bringing home stray dogs, cats, birds, or even the occasional lizard that needed help. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years I’ve personally raised and cared for several dogs and cats of different breeds and personalities, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I also have professional experience as a bather for a mobile grooming service, which gave me hands-on experience handling dogs safely and helping them feel calm and comfortable during grooming. I’m currently pursuing a path into dog grooming, so working with animals is something I take seriously and plan to continue long-term. I’m naturally patient and gentle, and I’m especially good with shy, nervous, or sensitive animals who need a calm presence to feel safe. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and secure while their owners are away. I also understand that caring for a pet means respecting someone’s home and routine. I’m reliable, tidy, and committed to treating both your pet and your space as if it were my own, with care and respect. Since I work part-time evenings, I’m usually available for pet care during weekday daytime hours (about 7:30am–3:30pm). I can be flexible with timing depending on how close you are to Port Orchard. I’m also available many Saturday evenings and Sundays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. In my home and my client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep pets supervised and safe. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Megan was awesome! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Megan!”
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”
“Emma was one of the sweetest people I’ve met on Rover. She is very kind hearted and loved to spend time with my dogs. I could definitely trust her being in my home, and I plan to continue her services in the future. Highly recommend Emma !!!”

Currently very available. I do contract work remotely and am focusing on settling in. I am free weekdays, some evenings and most weekends. My availability changes a bit based on work.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fragaria
“Reanna is wonderful! She has professional training and is very attentive and conscientious. Lots of nice pics, and even gave my baby a free brushing! Very nice lady and she took good care of my baby. She was exhausted from play and fun when I picked her up. I highly recommend her.”
“My dogs had a blast! They have a nice big yard to run around in. My dog Sophie even seemed happy! She is usually very scared and nervous. They send photos of the dogs during day . Anna is very nice. I would recommend her .”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of Corbin while I attended daylong sailing classes. Based on the pictures Amanda posted and the fact that my pup was very tired when we got home, I know he had a fabulous time! Corbin was in Amanda's "daycare" for 2 days and when I picked him up on both days, he kept looking back longingly as we drove away. I also really appreciate Amanda's flexibility as I had to cancel day 3 due to personal reasons. I will be rescheduling soon...and many times after that! It was such a comfort to know Corbin was well cared for and safe, so I could focus on learning how to sail and not be worried about him.”
“Jen was great with our dog Lucy! She was very patient as Lucy was a bit nervous and got settled in. But she took her on a lovely beach walk and Lucy really enjoyed that. Afterwards, Lucy got playtime with Jen's dog Tillie and a nice snooze in the sun. Jen kept us apprised of all the happenings with kits of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
“We recently met Cathleen while out walking our two pups, as she was walking a pack of dogs. We were so impressed with how well-behaved her pack was that we got her information. We have since used Cathleen's pet boarding (one week), daycare, and training services, and have been very satisfied. Our dogs have come home happy and more settled after time with her, and her training is calm and effective.”
“My dog always got so excited when it was time to drop her off for daycare in the morning and was always tired in the evening when it was time for pickup! She always seemed to have a great time. Couldn't recommend enough!”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”
“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”
“I can’t say good enough things about Shannon! She was just amazing with domino! It can be tough to find someone you trust with your dog and we definitely felt we could trust her. She sent pictures and communicated so well with us!”
“Thank you so much Rachel! She was so attentive, flexible, and understanding of my dog. I felt like he was in good hands all day and I would happily book with her again whenever I need to.”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Tomas is a great host! Very accommodating for my two senior golden retrievers on short notice. Excellent communication and a warm atmosphere. Will absolutely be booking again. Thanks Tomas!!”

Your pup will enjoy socializing with our two gentle residents—a well-behaved Pomsky and a Corgi—who love making new friends. At our home, your dog isn't just 'watched'; they are truly pampered. I am semi-retired engineer and have plenty of time to dote on your fur babies. We go for walks daily and have 1/2 acre fenced yard for them to roam. We have a 1/2 fenced yard located on Clover Valley Road and your puppies are welcome to explore everywhere, inside and out. As well we add routine play, training and cuddles to the daily practices.
About: I have had pets my entire life dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. I am comfortable around every type of dog, however prefer to sit smaller dogs up to 25lbs. I have a mini dachshund who is 16 years old, who misses having friends around. I am familiar with puppies through seniors. I do work from home 4 days a week.

We do daily walks around the neighborhood, in a wooded area or at Manchester state park. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, outdoor time will be on retractable leashes for potty breaks, time on the fenced deck, and daily walks using your pets regular leash. Should pets need to be left home unattended I will ensure everyone is in safe, separate locations close enough companionship but not mischief. Safety and well cared for is my goal.
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
About: I have four years of experience working in a dog daycare, in addition to caring for family and friends' pets since I was nine years old. My lifelong affinity for animals drives my dedication to their well-being and happiness. Over the years, I've developed a strong understanding of the importance of patience and empathy in providing exceptional care for pets. I'm working part time but, I'm overall fairly available on a day to day basis to help out with pet care needs and occasional overnight boarding. I am working on creating a daycare space in the basement to be able to provide boarding and day time care for the community (: I also can do basic baths & nail trims. My home is 10acres with a dog run, access to water, shelter and many sniffing spots to explore. Pups would stay in my room with me over night with frequent potty breaks during the day and play time in the run. I ensure that all animals are well fed, hydrated, and stimulated if they need to get rid of some energy. I love going on hikes and to water sources. I'm capable of more intense medical care such as medicine administration, wound care, etc.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, and they've always held a special place in my life. I had my beloved dog, Chico, for 16 wonderful years before we eventually lost him to old age and health issues. Although he was small, he had a HUGE personality and was basically my sidekick. He went just about everywhere with me: dog parks, camping, hiking, beach adventures, road trips, and yes, probably more dog-friendly pubs than the average dog. 😂 At the beach, his absolute favorite activity was sniffing every single piece of driftwood like it contained critically important information. And after all those adventures, he was happiest snuggled up next to me under approximately 47 blankets. Caring for Chico through every stage of his life, from an energetic young pup all the way through his senior years, gave me firsthand experience with how much a dog's needs can change over time and how much love, patience, and companionship they deserve along the way. Over the years, I've also become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup's personality because, as any dog person knows, they ALL have one! After 16 years with Chico, our home definitely feels a little too quiet without a dog in it. Getting to welcome other people's pups into our lives and give them some of that love we've been missing is something my whole family really enjoys. So while you're away, there's a pretty good chance your dog will be getting spoiled with attention over here. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups in my care! My main daily routine is getting my kids to and from the bus stop, which is close enough that we can easily walk when needed. I'm home throughout most of the day, so pets in my care won't be spending long stretches of time alone. I have plenty of flexibility for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins, and I'm excited to fill some of that extra time caring for new furry friends! Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first! In my home, pups are welcomed into our everyday family life and treated like one of our own. We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely get outside throughout the day. We currently don't have any pets of our own after losing our beloved dog, Chico, after 16 wonderful years together. We definitely miss having a pup around and love getting the chance to give our furry guests all that extra love and attention while they're here! I'll follow your dog's feeding, medication, potty, sleeping, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also understand that some dogs settle in immediately while others need a little extra time and space to feel comfortable, and I'm happy to follow their lead. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely and always make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. And of course, expect photo updates! I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”
“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”
“Madison is the best!! Moose really likes her I can tell from all the picture updates! Love how great she is at communicating and meeting all of moose’s puppy needs! We will continue to book with her, thanks Madison!! 🐾”
About: Experienced and Flexible Pet Sitter Ready to Pamper Your Pets! 🐶🐱 Hello there! I've been caring for pets practically since I learned to walk. Growing up, I assisted in looking after our beloved pets—a pit bull, fox terrier, and a cat—and they've been my inspiration and joy. They taught me valuable life skills like patience, attentiveness, and even training techniques! Spending quality time with furry friends has always been a cherished hobby of mine. Currently, I'm balancing my studies with a part-time job, which makes me flexible. With a heads-up, I can easily organize my schedule to cater to your pet's needs. I'm mobile and can travel as necessary to ensure your pet's comfort and happiness. Rest assured, your pets will receive the utmost care and attention. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions! I make pet care a daily priority by scheduling specific times for feeding, and exercise throughout the day. I also set aside longer periods in the morning and evening for walks and playtime. Weekly, I arrange training sessions, vet visits, and any other necessary care to keep the pets happy and healthy. (Upon request) When caring for pets in my home, they are in a welcoming environment where they're treated like family. I provide a cozy space, playtime, regular feeding schedules, and, for dogs, access to a spacious backyard. In clients' homes, I ensure to follow their instructions precisely: maintaining routines, providing necessary care, and keeping the environment clean and comfortable for the pets. I adapt my care based on the specific needs and preferences of each pet and owner, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience in both settings.
“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”
About: Hiya, I'm electrical apprentice inbetween jobs and eager to get some nature time in with some new doggos. I'm accustomed to walking more than 7 miles a day and love hiking with my own girl, Lucy. From horses and donkeys, to rabbits and dogs, I've been caring animals my whole life. Grew up training our family dogs as AKC therapy dogs, but now I focus on mental and physical enrichment for Lucy. I love dogs and working with them to provide them with the most beneficial walking experience in whatever way that looks for each individual dog. I'm experienced with high energy/anxious dogs, though I love working with a variety of energy levels. I do prefer medium to large dogs, but I'm open to new experiences with smaller ones. I have pretty flexable availability except Thursdays. I will require a meet and greet before committing to any bookings. I prioritize my dogs mental and physical enrichment through games, exercises courses, hiking, anything really that engages her mind and body. I am currently not looking to walk new dogs with my girl, but im not opposed to group walks in the future if I find dogs with compatible energy.

“Lily was great with our dog! She was flexible with our schedule, very dependable, and communicative. She returned my call prior to booking to discuss details since I was a new client. We would highly recommend Lily to other clients. She was very kind and loving towards our dog. JoJo seemed to enjoy her walks with you. Heather S.”
About: I saved my Chihuahua, Thistle, from a kill shelter when he was 18 months old. I nursed him through being hit by a car, helped him gain weight from being underfed, and encouraged him to be a confident dog (he was extremely anxious) through training and gentle love and care. From this, I learned how to administer medications to animals, so I can provide this kind of care to your fur babies also. My Chihuahua is now a senior dog, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with how active he is! He gets lots of walks and play time, and he loves it best when I get on the floor with him. I am comfortable getting to know your pet and giving them the level and type of attention that they need! I looked into breed specific care, and Chihuahuas have weaker joints, so I put him on a joint supplement right when I got him, and it has really made a difference in his mobility and quality of life. It’s important to administer care to animals in the specific way that is best for them! I would show the same consideration to your pet. That includes factoring in their temperament. As my dog has gotten older, his needs around personal boundaries have increased, so I make sure to check in with him before petting him, picking him up, or otherwise touching him, and I do not touch him if he gives me a no, except in an actual emergency (i.e. the animal could be hurt or hurt someone else if I do not touch them). Instead, I do something else and check in again later. This allows me to establish a real felt sense of safety and trust with your pet. I also had cats all growing up, and have a real affection for them, as well as a clear understanding of their boundaries. I would be honored to care for your pet family just as I care for mine! I currently freelance, which means I have the freedom to take care of your pets whenever you need me to. I can be flexible to your needs. As my dog is a people’s dog and not a dog’s dog, I offer my services in your home. I can walk your pet, do a drop-in visit, or housesit! I will follow your instructions to the letter, and ask about any specific or special care your pet might need.
About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times.

Working there taught me a lot about different dog behaviors and techniques I can use to help me stop any dog scuffles or general care. -I have 2 cats and golden retriever who i adore, they are my babies<3 -I have experience with all types of dogs! Puppies, seniors, large breeds, and small breeds. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Please reach out and let me know of any specific days or times so I know if I am the right fit for you & your schedule! I always make sure that the animals I am caring for are healthy and happy no matter the situation. Having a routine is a must! Keeps yourself and pets happy! Let me know what you do to have a consistent schedule for your pets and I will try my hardest to keep that routine for them. Knowing of any commands/training techniques you use for you dogs is also very important so I can follow through with training! Feel free to make me aware of any of your pets likes/dislikes or any other info to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.
About: Whether your pup needs a leisurely walk, some exercise, or just a little company, I’m happy to help! I’m comfortable following your dog’s routine and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. My schedule varies due to my full-time job, but I’m often available for walks as early as 8:30 AM! DM me for scheduling details. I am available daily, however my hours vary weekly. I am often available starting early in the day! If your dog needs a morning or midday walk, DM me! I prioritize safety, communication, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll always follow your instructions, keep pets supervised, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Mary-Elizabeth was an excellent caregiver for our pup!! Her communication and follow up was wonderful, and dog Goose was sooooo happy in her care! We will definitely be using her again and saving as a favorite!”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I can help with feeding, walks, bathing, exercise, and daily care while making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are followed. I’ve cared for both energetic and shy pets, as well as dogs with disabilities. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets who may need extra support. I always focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and cared for. I treat every animal like my own and take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Communication is also very important. I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s care so you can feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands! I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.
About: I had 4 dogs growing up and my parents always had me on a tight schedule with taking care of them. I fed them every morning at 6AM or 10AM and at 5-6PM every night. I also walked them and cleaned their messed when needed, and finally i never let their water bowl go dry. I love dogs and when I’m around them long enough they’ll love me. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets during the week. Im currently trying to make any extra cash I can right now. Which ever way a dog has to he taken care of I can do it. Each of my dogs growing up had different food and ways they needed to eat so I always took care of that
“Amanda is the best! We love her and more importantly, Mack (our dog) loves her! She is great with communication, always goes above and beyond, and we are so thankful for her! Thanks for everything Amanda!”
About: I am good with a number of pets, I've worked with both conventional furry pets and even feathered and scaly ones, although the scales I definitely have less experience with. I've looked after people's pets plenty of times in the past, both dogs and cats. I much prefer medium or small dogs since I am a small person, but if the large dog is a gentle giant I will certainly consider it. I can work around your schedule quite well, I am very flexible! Weekdays are easy, weekends might need some negotiating but I am open to it. I own a very nervous and anxious cat, so I cannot take overnights sadly. I care for pets as if they are little people. Pets are wonderful companions for life and deserve to be cherished while we have them.

Bonnie responds so well to his calm demeanor and thoughtful approach. Whether it's during her stay with him, walks, or just spending time together, James consistently demonstrates reliability and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate individual.

We are using them again at the end of July.”
