“Lacy did a great job checking on my cat, Chloe. I never worried the entire time I was gone, and knew Chloe wasn't getting lonely because she was being checked on multiple times a week. I will definitely be booking Lacy again.”


“Another fantastic week with Haylie checking on our dog! We are very happy with the care she takes every visit. She’s very observant & notices small changes with our dog & lets us know!”


“Zoe did a great job with drop in visits/walking Maple and Millie! Excellent communication, on time and the pups loved her! Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her in the near future!! Thank you!”


“Casey swooped in & helped us out with very little notice when our regular dog walker had a family emergency. She was friendly, arrived at agreed upon times & was great with our dog. Will definitely keep her as a back up for the future!”


About: I have two Border Collies, ages 5 and 4. They have increased my overall dog education tremendously. Having an 'experienced owner' breed of dogs has led me to step up my training game and ideas for mental and physical stimulation. I am ready to use these skills I've developed to raise a couple of good boys, to help you with walks and drop-in visits. I have had my dogs since they were each 1 month old. I am well educated on appropriate exercising needs, basic care, and raw and kibble feeding. I also am aware of safety and basic first aid skills. I am a foster home for Clancy's Dream. Clancy's Dream works to save the lives and rehome Border Collies from all situations across the country. My little guy is an 'adoption failure'. :) I have worked with reactive and anxious dogs. I spend my free time researching training techniques, behaviors, and general health articles. I regularly pet sit for friends in multi-pet households throughout the year. I have worked with daily care of chickens, cats, and dogs of all sizes. I have spent time working for a local dog food company in a pet friendly environment. I have three cats and know the patience and attention they require as well. I have grown up with a Lab, Rottweiler, Mastiff, and a Cane Corso. I put my heart into their little bodies and want them to have a great time when were together and be all set to go back inside, hopefully for a nap. I am very conscious about when they go to the bathroom. If they've just played hard I'm going to wait until they've peed again before ending a session. I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable! I am a school counselor in another school district so I am flexible surrounding the school calendar -- summers and breaks are wide open! During school in-session weeks I am available in the evenings from 5-7. In my client's home, I have the utmost respect. So much trust goes into allowing someone into your home and to care for you family members with fur. I will have patience and understanding for your pets and meet them where they are on a comfort level. I am an unfamiliar face walking into their home. Upon entering I will say hello to your pet and give some loving before going out to potty. Next, we complete whatever requests you have for your specific visit (play time, basic care, walk, attention, etc.). Lots of love will be offered when working with your pet. I really love dogs so much. So whatever they are into, we will do. Cats are no exception. Even if it's love from a distance. I take lots of pictures of what we do with our time together. I will layout out all our adventures and how we spent our time together, everytime.

About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.

About: I’ve had a variety of pets over the years. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and even small animals. In the past I even worked as a Pet Care Manager at a local PetSmart.

My availability for the weekends and most holidays are wide open. One of my cats has asthma so we break down her playtime into 10 minute blocks. My own cats get wet food and dry food with litterbox cleaning 2x a week with a deep cleaning every 2 weeks. both of mind are super social so i spend a lot of time petting and grooming them with their fav brush.

About: I will train the puppies how to give commands. Training will be conducted according to the pet habits of different customers. Dog walking, feeding and bathing services are also available. I can provide you with the status of your pet in real time, so that you can clearly understand the daily actions of your pet and record it. I will take classes every Monday and Wednesday, and I can do part-time work the rest of the time. I can take care of pets from 2pm to 8pm. If you have any other needs, please contact me in advance and I will arrange the time. We connect the cage to the backyard so that the pets can come and go freely. I accept each client's feeding style and I hope we can communicate before the appointment so that I can make a reasonable feeding based on your situation. I will take care of pets in your home, I will protect your personal property, and I will carry a video camera with me for recording.
