“Wonderful experience! Chris sent several pictures throughout the day and my dog came home completely worn out from her fun play date! Highly recommend!”

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.

About: I have completed countless hours of training and grooming with dogs. I am certified with the American Red Cross to provide if needed Canine CPR. I am able to provide day care and boarding needs to pet parents. I have had countless hours in training on canine behaviors and temperaments. I will provide care for your pet while you are away. I will always treat them as if they are my own. We have a very large fenced yard for your pet to run in while you are away. If its cold outside we do have an area indoors.

About: I'm a work from home professional with flexible hours. I have a 3 bedroom house with a large fenced in yard for puppies to run and potty (freely). I've cared for/owned dogs for over 15 years and make sure they stick to their routine of potty breaks/feeding/treat time! I don't mind coming to ones home and caring for their pets while they are away on business or enjoying some free time! I understand last minute trips and can squeeze you into my schedule. Every family member I have + most friends have dogs so I'm very familiar with how to care for and entertain pets whom I am new to! I'm so excited this is an option for extra income and I hope to meet your pups soon!

“I need flexibility with my insane work schedule. Kayla and her husband provided that for me and much more. The love my fur babies like their own. I recommend these two awesome people for puppy sitting anytime!”

“Chacha being a puppy I was a little worried, but she did just fine and looked very happy when we picked her up.”

About: I have watched my families cats/dog when they have went out of town, go over feed and water them. Play with them. Give them medicine as prescribed. I currently work from home. So I am able to let your fur baby out for a potty break when needed. As mine always lets me know when she needs out. I do have a pet door where the pups can go out to a small fenced yard if they are used to this also. I have a small fenced yard but also a large unfenced yard to run. We are approximately 1/4 mile off the road so no worries with traffic. I am always outside with my animals if they are outside the fenced area as sometimes we like to run and play more. I can keep anyone seperate if needed and crated if needed also.
