About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because of this, I’m most available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and overnight stays during the week. My schedule also allows for consistent availability on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours.

“Danielle is great! Went out of town for a week and she dropped in daily to feed and check on our cats. She constantly updated me about the pets and followed instructions we left for them. She is great!”
“Kam was sweet, kind, considerate and understanding. I knew my cat was in good hands while I was out of town. Kam made sure she got her medication on time everyday and administered with love!”
“Alexa was very communicative, reliable, and so kind. She went above and beyond to take care of our cats needs. Wonderful photo updates and notes. Will certainly book again!”
“Savannah was awesome for a last minute booking and made me feel so confident with leaving my fur babies. She did a great job with managing medications and cats that eat separate foods. Plus she sent tons of photos!!”
“Paige is always fantastic and does a great job with our pups. We added a new pup to the mix and she happily took him on. She’s on time and always completes a card immediately after leaving them. Highly recommend!”
“Sydnie is a life saver! I asked for her help at last minute ages she immediately was happy to take care of my senior dog, she is trusted and a person I will definitely consider for the future”
About: Hi! My name is Marae and here's a little about me: As I was growing up, my home was always filled with the love for both dogs and cats. From feeding and grooming to playtime and comforting them when they were anxious, I learned early on how to understand their personalities and needs. Because animals have always been such an important part of my life, working with them feels completely natural to me. During my time boarding pets as my main job for awhile, I had the opportunity to care for many different dogs and cats, each with their own temperament, routines, and preferences. I made sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their families were away. I treat every animal as if they were my own, as I would want mine to be treated! Now, I am a cat mom of 3 named Luna Storm, Chanse The Rapper (he talks alot hence the name) and Giovanni Grey. I hope to be given the opportunity to look after your pet soon! <3 Im currently working a full time work at home job. Im typically off by 3:00pm but can be off earlier if need be! :) I also have a lot of time open on the weekends. I have a lot of experience taking care of others animals! Something I'm most proud of is being able to read body language and reactions from each pets as each are so different!
About: At 21, I’ve spent over seven years with my black lab, learning the ins and outs of responsible, loving pet care. For the past two years, I’ve also cared for two cavapoos, a blue healer, a German shepherd, a chihuahua, and more! Right now, my home is calm and pet-free, and I have a flexible work schedule, so your pets will get my full, undivided attention. No kids, no pets, and most importantly a smoke-free environment. Plus, with a 0.7-acre yard and a dog park just 10 minutes away, we’ve got plenty of space for adventures, playtime, and exploration! I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be able to have lots of time with your pets, especially on weekends and in the evenings! I have a large fenced-in yard and live less than 10 minutes away from a dog park! I also live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks, so your pet will get their exercise!
