About: For the past 6 years or so, I have been trusted to take care of family and family friends' animals while they are on vacation, including reptiles and small animals, leaving them worry-free knowing that their beloved fur babies are well taken care of and comfortable. I also have cared for senior dogs and have no problems accommodating their needs to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I'm currently working from home, so I will always be here with the pets and can keep them entertained throughout the day. My schedule is pretty open, and I have no problem working the pets that I am sitting into my schedule if something comes up. I have a massive yard at home with plenty of room to run around and explore, lots of toys too, so there is always something for them to do, and giving them their own little vacation away from home. Being in the client's home is even better, allowing the pets to be in a familiar place while also having a new friend to play with. Following a set schedule with feeding and activity is something that I love to stick to; this keeps everyone as happy as possible.

About: I have plenty of experience with pets. I’ve helped my family take care of their furbabies by providing comfort, love, and care. I’ve owned 2 cats in my entire life time and 2 doggies so I have experience taking care of both. I will be available everyday of the week. Mondays and Wednesdays I got to college for 4 hours that day. I walk dogs every 3 hours. If a dog has high energy I don’t mind long walks. I will also provide your animal with plenty of petting and make sure your animal feels as safe and welcomed as I can. I usually always walk dogs every 3 hours during day, every 4 hours at night and feed 2 meals per day (although I can work with any preferred schedule). For cats I clean litter box every night and also feed 2 times a day. I will keep your little baby entertained, and do my best to make them comfortable. I love all types of pets personalities shy, playful, cuddle bugs, and so on:)
About: I’ve got a lot of experience in pet care, from adorable puppies as young as six months to sweet senior pets. I’m comfortable giving meds and can easily spot when a pet’s uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure every animal feels cared for and comfortable. I am currently working part time, which means I have plenty of time and experience to give every animal the attention they deserve. I’m also available for drop-ins and boarding, ensuring flexible and loving care for all pets. My two sweet, loving dogs join me at the doggie daycare, and they absolutely love playing with other dogs, they are also crate trained so if you prefer your fur-baby to be crated at night or at any time I will be comfortable getting them safely in.

“Mercy took care of ila twice last week.. I like how she cared to tell me important details to make me feel my dog is really cared for.

About: With over **40 years of hands-on experience** caring for animals of all kinds, my heart and home have always belonged to the furry, the feisty, and the four-legged. From the time I could walk, I was surrounded by a vibrant mix of animals—**German Shepherds, Huskies, Labradors, Poodles, Pomeranians**, and even the more unexpected companions like **raccoons, squirrels, and capuchin monkeys**. Each one taught me something new about loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. Pet sitting isn't just a job for me—**it’s a calling**.

About: My household and I absolutely adore animals of all kind. We enjoy outdoorsy activities and love bringing our furry friends with us. The kids and I take daily walks around the neighborhood aiming for a mile or as long as our furry friends can last. We love to cuddle on the sofa with our pets. I currently work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. Every morning I take my pup outside to potty, we came back in and cuddle while I drink my coffee before work. On my lunch break and after work we go for walks. I’m here all day so I am able to provide them attention when they want, they won’t be alone and I can randomly take them out back to get some sun. We have a fenced backyard where we can play outside with our furry friends. Will take them for daily walks. They can cuddle with us indoors. We allow our furry guests on our furniture unless our clients request otherwise. I have one friendly pup and one cat who can play with them. Our cat mainly resides in our daughter’s room. We love to cuddle, play and walk them. I typically ask my clients what their routines are so I do my best to keep their fur babies on track.

I was involved in dog breeding for a number of years and have experience with the entirety of a dog's lifespan. I am capable of teaching low level tricks, and giving oral medicine. I can safely socialize dogs both in a controlled environment and an uncontrolled environment. I am willing to walk your dog until they tired, and am more than happy to provide general company . If they are in need of more strenuous exercise, I am willing to take them on a run and am also capable of sticking to any diet restrictions. I am an Army veteran with a bit more free time and flexibility on my hands to help take care of furry friends of all kinds. I am well versed in dog verbal and non verbal communication. I am more than aware that I am a guest in their home and respect their autonomy. Similarly, on walks, I prefer to keep things calm and quiet in some of the less crowded local parks to avoid any undue stress.
“Kayla was an absolute lifesaver! She went above and beyond by coming to walk my dog, even in the rain. She was so thoughtful, always double-checking with me to confirm our plans. I hate leaving my dog alone, but when an emergency came up, Kayla stepped in to make sure my dog was cared for and had a chance to go outside. I’m so grateful for her help and reliability—thank you, Kayla!!”
