“Tara was amazing! This was the first time we ever had someone watch Maya at home like this and it could not have gone better! Tara was responsive, attentive, and incredibly with Maya. I am SO happy to have found someone like her!!”
“We simply could not have asked for better and we are so thrilled and relieved that we have found such great care for our 2 cats and one dog. We have a stretch booked with Paula for September and it gives us such peace of mind to know they will be so well cared for. Thank you Paula!”
“My dog immediately bonded to Rose as soon as she walked into the house. She has an incredible way with dogs, and a deep knowledge of their behavior and needs. She is a true dog lover! I feel grateful that we found her, as it is such a relief to know there is someone who can take great care of our canine family member when we cannot be around.”
“Megen took such great care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. They have special feeding needs, and she made sure everything was just right for them. She also sent lots of cute photos which made being away a little easier. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Megen!”
“Rachel was very sweet and professional! She sent pics and played with my pup! She spent the whole hour keeping my pup company and getting out some energy! Will be booking again! Thank you Rachel!”
“Extremely conscientious and great communicator. Our cat is shy and normally doesn’t take to strangers but by day 2 she already warmed up to her. Nicely, took in our delivered packages. Highly recommended!”
About: Dogs are not just pets to me, they are part of the family where I come from. I have cared for pets all my life since growing up with the aspirations and dreams of becoming a vet. I worked as a vet assistant all throughout high school and some college, and even though life happened and I didn't get to finish school the way I planned, my love for animals has never gone astray. I have had dogs my entire life, and always snuggled and played with them and brought them everywhere with me because they were my family. I even love helping dogs with special needs. I played and ran with my girl in her wheelchair daily and would do the same for yours!
“Lindsay was great! She took care of my cats as if they were her own. I had no worries or concerns while I was away and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a true animal lover to look after their pets. It was refreshing to not have to be concerned about anything while I was gone.”
About: I've taken care of my family's 3 dogs since I was 12 years old. Feeding, vet visits, and regular walking 3x a day. I often participated in my friends Dog sitting and grooming business and loved her clients. I feel confident recognizing the signs of a happy dog, sick pup, or one who needs a bit of space before they trust :) I currently have very flexible work. I can in some instances bring my work to the home I sit for or make use of my break times to travel and attend to a pet. Easy arrangements can be made with my work to keep up everypawdy’s schedule. Each family trains their pet differently - I'm more than happy to adapt to your style of communication and play with your pet. Your dog will need some moments to sniff and get to know me but after that, play times with specific toys, specific commands, crate and rest times can all be implemented to your liking. I prefer to keep dogs within range of sight and ear, for their personal safety and engagement.
About: From overnight stays and walks to playtime and cuddles, family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their fur baby. Being able to work with cats and dogs on a daily basis as a veterinary assistant continues to help me accumulate various skills to work with animals of all temperaments and ages! I’m currently working part time so I’d have flexible time to spend with your precious pups whether during the week or during the weekend ! Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.
“Amberly was a fantastic pet watcher! She responded promptly to my inquiry and came for a meet and greet with my pup, Bear, before we left town. She checked in at every visit, notified me if she would be a little late, sent pictures of my dog and even vacuumed my house because he brought a lot of dirt in. She was great. I'd definitely recommend her and plan on using her again in the future!”
“I was nervous about leaving my rescue dog, Elle, when I went away, but as soon as I met Sarah I knew she was in good hands! Elle took to her right away, and Sarah checked in to let me know how things were going while I was away. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: My goal is to offer personalized care for fellow pet owners. Puppy Training: I have experience raising my own rescues since they were 6-8 weeks old. My focus on positive reinforcement techniques is to encourage good behavior and develop essential skills as indicated by owner. Senior Dog Care: I’m well-versed in the unique needs of older dogs, including administering medications, monitoring mobility issues, and offering gentle walks and care. I had a senior pit bull who I provided hospice for until his last day. Specialized Attention: Whether your dog needs extra love due to anxiety or just loves extra playtime, I customize my services to match their personality and preferences. I have experience with medication administration especially since my current dog requires long term meds for a collapsed trachea. I'm a school Speech Therapist & mother of 3 who is off every July-August. I prioritize consistency and routine for the pets I care for during summer months. My pets have free range of my 2 floor house. My current pets were trained on an electric fence and now safely walk on my property unleashed. When house guests visit with their pets, their dogs are leashed to walk and run with outside. I follow your pet’s regular routine, ensuring they eat, exercise, and receive attention at the times they’re used to. I aim to keep their daily schedule as consistent as possible so they don’t experience any stress in your home.
“Amberae and Stevie were fast friends! Amberae was attentive and thoughtful and a great walker to our pup. She was very responsive and let us know how Stevie was doing with updates. We appreciate you, Amberae! Thank you so much!”
