About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
About: I am a caring and responsible person who would love to spoil your fur (or scaly) baby(ies)! My family has had dogs all my life, and in 2020 I started my own pet-sitting business. Since 2020 I have gained the trust of over 20 families and would love to add your baby(ies) to my extended pet family. I have experience giving medications to dogs of all ages and am willing to learn your specific routines to give them best care possible. I am currently doing pet care full time and I am available to help you out 7 days a week at any time, day or night. I am able to care for your pet at your home or transport them to/from locations as needed. I am very flexible and willing to work with you to meet your needs.
About: I never had a dog growing up! I am on my second rescue and love taking care of the little cuties! I will spoil them! I work a few hours a week at a seasonal breakfast cafe, but they are very flexible when scheduling me. Also, I am active for my age! I will only dog sit in doggy’s own home but will bring my Shih Tzu with his kennel and keep him in it, if needed.
“Emily was wonderful with Gradey and was creative in finding a way to get him to take his daily medications. He was happy and content and everything was clean when we returned home. Would absolutely use Emily again!”

Callista C.
“Calcifer is an amazing care-taker, parent, animal lover! Just knowing Calcifer briefly is enough to know his passion is for lil creatures of all sorts. It's awesome to see the joy and care he has shown toward his own pets, including amphibians, reptiles, rodents, cats, pups, and more. My three kitties are always excited to get all the attention they can while Calcifer is around. Our Tuxie, Sage, is obsessed with getting carried like a toddler on Calcifer's shoulder. Cedar and Basil likewise never miss a chance to cuddle up with Calcifer and soak in some lovin'... Or ask for treats. Overall, I know Calcifer understands the individuality of our babies and connects with them well. Calcifer is attentive, because of his connection and compassion with animals. He definitely knows how to keep established routine and respond promptly, but he also responds well to needs that arise in the present. You can absolutely expect that strong values are at the center of Calcifer's "work," because it is passion. Having the great love, added to a wide range of experience and knowledge, makes Calcifer a great fit for the many needs that your pets may have!”

Makayla W.
“I’m a super anxious pet parent and Makayla is one of the few people I trust to look after my 3 cats. You can tell she genuinely loves all pets and strives to care for yours as if they are her own. She is excellent at following detailed instructions which is absolutely essential for my furry family because they all have different dietary restrictions and routines that must be followed. Makayla’s company and care was a saving-grace the first time I had to leave my cats alone for a longer trip abroad and I (and my cats!) would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat. She made me feel like she really respects the level of care I expect with my cats and I was able to leave them without worry that something would happen to them or they would be lonely while I was away. I cannot recommend Makayla enough to my fellow pet parents.”
