“Laura did an amazing job for our 40 lb dog with leash aggression. She was very knowledgeable during the meet and greet, asking good questions to get to know Mia before walking her while we were away. She gave status reports every time Mia got walked (with pictures!) and really let us not worry while on vacation. I’d highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Bree! With over 8 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifelong love for animals, I bring a unique level of care, skill, and compassion to every pet I look after. But senior pets and those with special needs hold a special place in my heart. Whether your companion needs daily medications, gentle handling, mobility support, or just a little extra patience and love, I’m here to help. Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. I’m also working toward building a forever home for my own rescues—so when you book with me, you're supporting a fellow animal lover’s dream. My specialties as a Pet Sitter: • Medication administration (oral, injectable, and topical), ensuring that pets with special medical needs receive their treatments on schedule and with minimal stress. I’m experienced in following specific care instructions and maintaining clear communication with owners to ensure the best outcomes for their pets. • Customized companionship, whether it's cuddles, gentle playtime, or just sitting with an animal, I adapt my approach to each pet’s unique personality and emotional needs. I understand the importance of providing a sense of security, especially for pets with anxiety, fear, or past trauma. • Creating a low-stress environment tailored to the animal’s sensory and behavioral needs. I work to maintain a calm, quiet atmosphere, avoiding sudden changes in routine or environment, which can be particularly crucial for animals with heightened sensitivities. • Enrichment and mental stimulation through activities that are designed to engage pets physically and mentally. Whether it’s puzzle toys, interactive games, or scent trails, I make sure each pet is stimulated in a way that aligns with their abilities and preferences, promoting overall happiness and well-being. I am dedicated to offering each pet personalized care that ensures their comfort, happiness, and safety while their owners are away. I currently work full time, but I am flexible to meet your fur babies needs during the work week and available anytime Saturday- Monday. 🐾 All pets will be closely supervised during outdoor activities to ensure their safety and well-being. I will follow detailed instructions on how to best care for your fur child, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and filled with love while you are away.

About: Never feel guilty again for leaving your pup home, while you’re at work bringing home the bacon! Rest easy on your vacation, long day (or night!) at work, or whatever the case may be: I’m always here for you. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I've had dogs all my life; I am very comfortable with all the different breeds of dogs. Throughout my childhood, I usually had anywhere between 2 to 3 dogs at any given time; at this point in my life I have two pets of my own. My oldest dog is a 5 pound Yorkshire Terriers named Denim age 10+. My second dog is a 10 pound Maltese Poodle named Windsor age 3+. I have a lot of help and support from my boyfriend Michael when it comes to taking care of our pups, so expect a dynamic duo when it comes to your pets. I am currently enrolled in college and I am actively working on finishing my second Associates’ degree in Interior Design, graduation date Spring 2020. From there I plan on finishing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior Architecture expected graduation date 2022. I am a very active person I go on long walks, hikes, jogs, and runs so your dog will be perfect company for me. We can go on leashed walks throughout Lake Thom-A-Lex Park or throughout my residential neighborhood. When staying at my house your dog will get plenty of tender, love, and care. They will have oodles of attention and fun. My goal is to tire them out so when it’s time to go home to you their ready for bed. I work from home so I will provide 24-hour supervision to your dog. I appreciate active communication and will provide regular updates and feedback on your pet. I welcome the same. I am a very responsible person, who is very reliable and understanding, I will accommodate the specific needs of both you and your dog. Working with Rover I have had the opportunity to care for an even greater variety of fur babies. I understand that dogs are part of your family and I would love to care for them as if they were part of my own. I have experience with dogs losing their sight and hearing.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I also have a puppy of my own! I can take care of dogs or cats of any size or age! I am free weekdays and weekends.

About: Hello furry friends! Please allow me to give you a loving, safe, secure, and entertaining environment while your parent is away. I have a golden-doodle myself and work remotely from home. Working from home gave me many hours to gain the skills and experience needed to train and bond with my dog, Wally. I like to research dog psychology in my free time to better understand and communicate with dogs. I am interested in becoming a certified dog trainer in the near future. For the time being, I feel my passion for dogs will allow me to give you the experience you deserve while making a new friend along the way. Thank you! I work from home remotely so I will have plenty of time to give your dog the love and care that they need! Additionally, they will make new friend along the way because I have a 2 year old golden-doodle! I have a super friendly golden-doodle that will keep your dog very entertained! I also love to play games with dogs like fetch and give dogs commands to keep them stimulated. I can also crate your dog for quiet breaks if needed.

“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life and have always been completely dog-obsessed. I’ve had professional experience in the animal care field, including working at a veterinary clinic and spending the last three years at a doggy daycare—starting as a playroom counselor and working my way up to management. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—from nervous and fearful pups to the most outgoing and energetic ones. I’m especially passionate about French Bulldogs and have two of my own! I also live with a roommate who has two German Shorthaired Pointers, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and pack dynamics. Whether your dog needs a calm, patient presence or an enthusiastic play buddy, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—no matter how long it takes to earn their trust (and tail wags!).

Thaiann E.

“Thaiann was amazing with my German Shepard, Nia. I was nervous to leave her at first, not only because she was a new person and I would be leaving Nia, but Nia, has a super sensitive stomach, so her diet is special. From the moment I met Thaiann she was attentive to my instructions and engaged Nia. I noticed that there were an abundance of dog toys and treats. When I returned Nia was in tip top shape, which lets me know that Thaiann maintained her meal regiment in my absence. I felt guilty about leaving my dog behind, but honestly if I have to leave Nia behind again I would do so with confidence knowing that she is with an experienced, responsible, and loving person like Thaiann”
