About: I’m a local mom of two boys and a lifelong animal lover, and I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re part of our family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet—whether it’s for a quick trip or a longer vacation—so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease. I provide dependable, calm, and attentive care, with lots of updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most days and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, and attention throughout the day, and I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I build it into my schedule so pets feel comfortable and cared for. Because I’m not overbooked, I’m able to give each pet my full attention and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I always tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent - feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all follow their normal schedule. I spend quality time with each pet so they don’t feel rushed or alone, and I’m careful to keep the home clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.
“Nicole was very easy to work with and accommodating for some last minute changes. Updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Will use her again anytime we are out of town!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available at a variety of times, including daytime, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. As I pursue a future full-time Monday–Friday position, I plan to continue pet care with a strong focus on evening and weekend availability, while still offering additional flexibility when possible. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

“Maria was absolutely wonderful for my pup!!! She was friendly, respectful, and very attentive to her needs. I am a new pup mama and she made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was very responsible and read my very thorough instructions for my pup. I will definitely be choosing Maria again! :)”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Willing to take care of any kind from cute and fluffy to slithery and slimy. I love animals! I dream to be a biologist and I’m working on research for my school. I’m working weekends only at the moment at my job and I go to school full time. So I want to take Fridays to take care of animals for some small income to help pay for college. And for some experience. I won’t take animals into my home but I will make sure your animal is fully comfortable when taking care of them. Taking them on the same route as they usually do walking, all their normal activities to make sure upmost comfort when in my care. I’ll also take one dog on a walk at a time to make sure they get as much attention and care as they need. I can also handle many animals at once as I’ve done so in the past!

“Sydnee was amazing with our two boys!! We received photos everyday and updates to make sure everything was okay. There were lots of play times and she always made sure they had enough food. We felt very comfortable with her in our home and we will be messaging her next time we need someone over :)”

“I am so happy and relieved to have Carolyne care for my cats while I was away. I appreciated daily photos and updates on my "babies". I feel she went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Carolyne!!”

I would of course follow your instructions on caring for your pets. You can count on me to keep your pets safe. Feed, play, let out, and walk.
“Katarinna and her son stayed at our home at with our two dogs while we were on vacation. They treated our home like their own - very clean, things put away, and even cleaned up our dog bowls! She sent photos and checked in throughout the week. It was such a huge relief knowing our dogs were cuddled, played with, and well-loved while we were away!”

“Janel always does exactly what is needed. I have piece of mind at every drop in and overnight stay knowing that Oliver is well taken care of. She is always my first choice for a sitter!”

About: With years of hands-on experience, I care for everything from small pups to large dogs, and I am entirely comfortable managing multiple pets at once. What sets me apart is my absolute reliability and dedication: I excel at communication and am always strictly on time.

My schedule is highly flexible, making it easy to fit dedicated pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because I am widely available at all hours, I can easily accommodate early morning feedings, mid-day walks, late-night check-ins, or overnight house-sitting. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priorities, and my open availability ensures I can be there exactly when they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and respect are my highest priorities. I make it a point to strictly follow the owner's established routines, ensuring doors and gates are always securely locked and the environment remains clean and hazard-free. Because I focus on clear communication and being exceptionally reliable, I keep owners updated so they have total peace of mind. Whether I am house-sitting, popping in for a feeding, or going on a walk, I provide a calm, attentive, and secure presence so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved in their own home.
