About: I believe animals are essential to human health. I have had pets for as long as I have been alive. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a horse, a pony, and 2 alpacas. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. I telework, so I am home most of the day with my fur babies. With my variety of fur babies, I have a seamless regular daily routine for pet care. Because I telework, I am home most of the day. I have a very large fenced yard with lots of room to run and play. I spend most of my day in the company of my fur babies.

About: Have watched family and friends’ dogs in my home for years. Currently have 2 family dogs of different sizes and ages. Range of experience. Lots of walking, playtime and snuggles. I’m home during the day and can adjust my daily schedule to the needs of the dog. My kids are in school during the day so it’s quiet during the day. I have a fenced in yard with room for dogs to play and take care of business. I have 2 dogs at home so your dog will never be alone. My kids and younger dog loves to play. The neighborhood is full of walking paths for walks.

About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.

About: I have experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, attention, and consistency. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and giving them plenty of attention. I know that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what works best for each animal. I’m responsible, attentive, and careful about following their owner’s instructions so they can feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and give their owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to accommodate feeding times, litter box care, medications if needed, playtime, and regular check-ins. I enjoy having pets as part of my day, so I’m happy to spend time with them beyond just the basic responsibilities. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply have someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the day with photos and messages so you know how things are going. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I create a calm environment by following each pet’s routine and their owner’s specific instructions closely. I’m attentive to things like doors, gates, food, medications, household hazards, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace. I never want a pet to feel pressured or overwhelmed. I’ll provide plenty of patience, supervision, affection, and reassurance while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Communication is also important to me. I’ll keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and being treated with the same care I would want for my own.

“This was my dog Miles’ first stay with Jim and Mary, and it was wonderful! They looked after him like he was their own, and I’ve never seen our dog so at ease with a boarding stay. He came home relaxed and refreshed. I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to leave. Jim and Mary were very accommodating and made everything easy and stress free. They sent lots of pictures of Miles each day, which I always looked forward to! Our experience with Jim and Mary was fantastic and I look forward to having Miles stay with them again in the future!”

“Merline took great care of Sarge and provided daily updates. She gave him yummy treats and gave him extra people food to go along with his regular dog food. When Sarge didn’t want to go upstairs to sleep at night, she joined him downstairs so he wouldn’t be alone. Her family also looked after Sarge and showered him with love. When I picked up Sarge, he was very calm and relaxed, which tells me that he had a good time while away from his family.”

Emily was wonderful as always! Nini stayed with Emily for a week and we knew she would feel right at home with the excellent care that Emily provides. She also got to have an amazing playtime with her furry friends and enjoy walks everyday. We are lucky to have Emily host Nini while we are away! Thanks Emily!

I cannot say enough good things about Nancy! She took such good care of my little one. I always get sad and anxious about being apart from my baby. Nancy was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I knew Millie would be in good hands. Nancy wanted to ensure to follow Millie’s routine and to make her as comfortable as possible. She spent a lot of time with her and took her on long walks. She also sent updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Nancy! We will definitely be reaching out to her again.

Carmen and her husband were very nice. They watched our 7 pound Yorkie, Cooper, for the weekend while we were at a wedding. They gave us daily updates with cute photos. And Cooper was really happy when we came to pick him up. Their two dogs were great with Cooper and he enjoyed playing with them.
