About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care from a Lifelong Animal Advocate Over 25 Years of Experience | Calm Presence | Gentle, Attentive Care Hello! I'm a retired Nurse's Aide and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry companions of all ages. Whether it’s a shy cat or a senior pet needing special attention, I offer a calm, reliable presence and a deep well of experience. I’ve cared for dogs and indoor cats. My approach? Gentle, observant, patient, and full of love. Why choose me? I’m home full-time, so your pet will get consistent, one-on-one attention. I understand animal behavior and respond with kindness, not force. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for aging pets. I treat every animal like family—because they are. Families often say I’m the kind of sitter they don’t have to worry about—because they know their pets are truly in good hands. If you're looking for someone with old-school reliability and a heart full of love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend. I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs—feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs—so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, peaceful setting—free from chaos, smoke, or other animals (unless otherwise discussed). I keep doors secured, floors clear, and eyes open. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned—through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.


6. Ren S.
“Ren is an absolute gem when it comes to dog sitting! From the moment I dropped off my furry friend, I knew they were in good hands. Ren's attention to detail, care, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. My dog came back happy, well fed, and with a wagging tail, a true testament to Ren's exceptional dog sitting skills. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ren to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Tiffany was AMAZING!!!! She was great with Titan”


8. Anna E.

“She is perfect! She responded quickly and even tho I was booking last minute she fit me in to her schedule. Our first time I booked an in home visit and a 30 minute walk with Ann, I had seen such a huge difference in my dog queen when I got home! Not only that but I had went outside for break and just so happened to see her and Queen walking across the street. I got to see how nice and soft-spoken she was to queen and how safe and attentive she was towards her.I am extremely satisfied and and will be booking regular weekly visits! She is great with animals and I highly recommend her. I can't express enough how grateful I am and how much of a difference she made for queen.❤️❤️”


9. Melissa M.
“We have known Melissa for over 30 years. When we added Sasha (2 1/2 yr old Pomsky) to our family as a puppy and knew there may be times we would need to go out of town and need a Dog Nanny, we reached out to Melissa. We trust Melissa while at our home and with Sasha. She loves spoiling her with treats, toys and kisses! We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love on their fur baby!”


10. Brenay B.

“Our dogs are always so well taken care of with Brenay. We have been repeat customers for about a year now and will continue to book with her!”


11. Lindsay M.

“Lindsay did amazing! One of our dogs is hesitant with strangers and can be a little rough to get to know at first. Lindsay did a meet and greet first and really showed how versed she is in reading and adjusting to animal behavior. It made me feel so much better! Our first visit went great and she sent tons of pictures and was able to get our dog that’s a little fearful of strangers to be calm and react okay to her when she came while we were gone. She did great and we will definitely use her again in the future!!!”


12. Maria W.

“Maria took great care of zoey! She walked and played with her and sent an update with pictures after!”


13. Erin B.
“Our dogs love Erin, she is always so kind and loving to them! We have a King German Shepherd and a Husky, both have been cared for by Erin and she always does a great job. I always feel comfortable leaving our dogs in her hands!”

16. Celeste M.

“Buddy absolutely loved Celeste. She took amazing care and spent time within to be sure he was loved while we were gone.”


17. Anna K.
“Anna is nurturing, compassionate, and caring in all that she does. She’s the first person that comes to mind when I think of someone who puts her dog and his comfort before her own. Honestly, anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their own!”


18. Alyssa D.

“Alyssa was super kind, professional, and understanding. She took great car of James, even playing with him and texting me photos. She also cleaned out both litter boxes while I was gone. I will definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her.”


19. Amanda S.
About: I have 3 small dogs for my own. I have had them since they were puppies and they are crate trained and very well behaved. I enjoy having the company of the dogs walking and playing. I am a stay at home mom , I have a pretty open schedule and have plenty of time for dog caring and walking also very open to boarding as well. I have a small fenced in porch area where you dogs can play along with my 3 other small dogs. And can also easily crate your dog when needed.
