“Landon was wonderful with our cats! On his first visit, he went out of his way to spend extra time with them and made sure they were well cared for. He cleaned the litter box daily and was even kind enough to take out the trash. We’ll definitely be using Landon again!”

I wrote this out and need to find it and come back and type it here and will do that shortly.

“My cat had a wonderful week! Thanks for your great care!”

“Kinzley we can’t thank you enough for your help with all our fur babies on our wedding day. I was able enjoy the day knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely reach out for future visits if needed. You’re the best!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs on and off for 2 years now, and have decided to make a more permanent space in my life for it. I love all doggies, and cannot wait to meet your sweet fur baby! I have experience with senior care and puppy care. I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I am available any time to chat or answer any orations you may have. I have a non fenced in yard, but have plenty of time to take your pup on walks around town. I live in a friendly small town neighborhood!
“Erin did a fantastic job with my cats! I will definitely use her again.”
“Mia did a great job with our little one with the drop in visits :) she spent some time with her as well which is nice since we booked it for every other day while we were gone. Overall, I’d definitely recommend her!”
“How did I get so lucky to find a pet caregiver like Nadine. My 10-lb. Chinese Crested Terrier mix is diabetic and needed someone who had the comfortable skill of giving him his daily shots. Not only is Tiago pleased with my choice of his caregiver, but Dion, my Persian cat is thinking “purr-fect” for me too. Nadine enjoys her work - truly a pet lover and my pets know it. Tiago meets her at the door and Dion does to if he is up - needs his beauty sleep! Nadine is a ‘keeper’ and will be invited back time and time again in my home to care for my special pets.”
About: I would consider myself very experienced when it comes to caring for animals. I worked at a dog kennel where meeting and caring for all kinds of dogs was my everyday life. From the calm ones who need medication to the hyper ones who need an outlet, I was always happy to have the privilege of caring for them. At the kennel I did feeding, medications, play, doggy day care, and had many more responsibilities. I also have also taken my love for dogs to another level by fostering rescues. This is something that brings me so much joy, especially when they start out timid and I get to watch them come out of their shell. I recently adopted a puppy which has been so exciting! Unfortunately for the safety of his health this means I had to pause fostering. I think caring for your animals will help fill that hole in my life! HOUSE SITTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to having a puppy of my own I cannot do overnight stays. I absolutely can stay with your dogs throughout the day with a couple of breaks to take care of my own puppy. I am a full time employee for a flower shop typically working 8-3. If I gain clientele who are seeking availability during the day I am willing to switch to night shift but do not want to do so until I gain interest. As of now I am allowed long breaks so if you would like someone to care for your pet at lunch time I can. I would prefer to take clients after 3 PM. Please feel free to check in with me as my days off are varied! I treat all pets with the love and respect they deserve. I will do my best to always understand your pets boundaries and to earn their trust to give them all my love!
“Miranda is very friendly, caring and thoughtful! Her in-home service for our cat(s) allowed us to take a worry-free vacation. We will definitely seek her services in the future!”
“My pup struggled to adjust to having someone visit our home and reilly went above and beyond to try and allow her to adjust and be comfortable. couldn’t ask any more!”
“Marie provided care for my cat Dahlia while I was on my first trip ever away from her. She was kind and patient with my very timid and skittish cat. Marie’s knowledge and experience made her the perfect choice so that I could enjoy my trip without worry. I will definitely book Marie for any future trips. I highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born. My parents share the same love for animals as I do, and I think I love them more honestly! I’ve dealt with losing a pet, and adding new additions to the family. In my eyes no breed of dog or cat is superior and I would love to meet all the pets I can!! I work part-time so I will put the days I am available into the schedule! On my days off I would be more than happy to take your dogs for walks or do drop in visits with dogs and cats! I also marked all days as available because my hours can be funky and I can sometimes work only 4 hour shifts. I take my dogs for walks frequently. They are a bit stubborn sometimes (especially my olde english) but after we get walking they love being outside! The summer heat gets to them both though, so I would love to get outside!
About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.
“Phenomenal as always :)”
About: I grew up on a farm in Iowa taking care of a variety of animals and it's turned into a passion very quickly. As an adult aside from my own pets I worked for a dog groomer for 5 years and heald many titles! I was personal assistant/ lead bather/ weekend boarder/ vacation boarder for clients going out of town. In my personal life I also did many rescue and rehomes for mainly cats and dogs. Working with animals has helped me so much to have a better understanding of them and how they communicate their comfort zones. I have worked with the sweetest and most cuddly animals to very aggressive and anxious animals of all sizes and breeds over the years and have only had to turn down services a handful of times while offering an owner safer suggestion that could work for them and their fur children. If you are wanting to work on your dogs social skills with other dogs I've got that covered too! My traveling companion is a 8 year old boarder collie mix named Bunny. She is completely submissive to all sizes and breeds. I've worked with her many times with introductions and she is very patient. 🙂 I am free nights and weekends for walks and boarding. I will be attending school M-F 7 to 3:30 so anytime after this I am available. My personal dog is a senior so she does have a special diet. My background in working with animals I am comfortable giving any medications they might need if scheduled at my time of service. I'm open to following any instructions or rules you would like me to as long as I feel that I have built enough trust with your animal to provide this if you are not present.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, and have grown up around them. I have 3 labs & 1 mixed small pup of my own. I love keeping pups active, and soaking up all the snuggles. I’m currently an online graduate student and nannying on the side. I am open to any time that you may need me for walking or house/dog sitting. I will do my best to make your pet feel as though you never left by sticking close to their typical routine, and making them feel loved and secure.
About: My family and myself absolutely love animals! We have dogs and cats ourselves and have had for many years. Most of our animals that we have or have had, we've adopted from shelters or have turned up on our doorstep as strays so naturally, we took them in! We adore animals so much that we should actually live on a farm so we can have more! We call our 13 year old daughter "the animal whisperer", she loves and understands what every animal wants or needs and they love and trust her in return. She knows every breed of dog and everything about them! She's going to be a veterinarian someday, I can already see it now! Animals are part of our family, they have free roam of our house, can snuggle with us on the furniture or in our bed and we play outside with them in our big backyard. We live in a small town so it's perfect for playing outside or taking a walk. Our pets love other animals to play with also! However you take care of your pet, you can count on us to do the same! Just let us know what your pet loves and needs and we'll provide them with that! I'm very flexible and can work around most schedules. Available mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights for drop in visits to your home and walks and available anytime for overnight stays at your home. When in your home, you just let me know what your pet's normal routine is, their likes/dislikes, fave toys/treats and I'll make your pet feel pampered, comfortable and loved!
