About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child, whether they were family or friends or my own pets, I made sure to make myself available when they needed me. My experience includes dog sitting, dog walking and even taking care of medication. I’m currently finishing up college so I am available before and after my classes with any availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When summer starts I will be working part-time at an internship so I will have continued availability that I will update as soon as I can. I have one dog and one cat living at home with me. They are both older now but I’ve had them since they were babies. I am responsible for both animals, for example cleaning up after both of them, feeding them, taking my dog out 3x a day.
“Jennifer was great! She was very attentive and caring towards our cat, Luci, during the five days we were out of town. Luci did not get herself into trouble during that time, and I am very grateful Jennifer was there to check up on her. I would definitely recommend Jennifer’s pet services!”

“After meeting Tori, I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby in her care. She is warm, attentive, and clearly loves animals. It was evident from the start that she is experienced and truly understands how to make pets feel comfortable and safe. My fur baby was happy and well-cared for, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver!”

About: Being around animals brings me joy and I want them to feel at ease because I know they are missing their pet parents. My calm, patient and kind personality will be comforting to your pet. I’ve given medications and have cared for many types of dogs and cats as well as chickens, birds and a duck! I am also very conscientious about safety, being on time and keeping your home tidy. When you return home it will be as you left it and to happy pets! I am recently retired, therefore my schedule is flexible daily, including weekends and overnights. Let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate. I can pet sit in your home. I do not have my own pets but family members I live with have 2 cats that I often help care for. Safety and caring for your home and pets are important to me. You will return to a tidy home. I am happy to discuss how to accommodate your needs.
About: I’ve had the joy of working with animals for over 10 years, and caring for them truly makes me happiest. I’ve worked as a dog groomer, gained hands-on experience in veterinary settings, and provided pet sitting and dog walking services for so many wonderful pets and their families. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies, and animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I absolutely love dogs, every breed, every quirk, every goofy smile and I genuinely love all animals with my whole heart. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
“Shelby was absolutely wonderful with our cats Peanut & Simba. She was communicative and sent us pictures regularly during her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!!”


About: I’ve taken responsibility of my own pets in my family for 10 years. Dog sat for my aunt for two years. Grew up with a Border Collie and two Dobermans! Trained my families new edition corgi, chow chow, and kelpie Shepard mix who’s now 2 years of age. I work part time as a college student finishing up my second semester before summer break. I’d love to walk or check in on any furry friends before/after my lectures and final semester!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment, following each pet’s routine closely. I respect their individual needs, ensure secure spaces, and give gentle, attentive care with regular updates.
About: Cozy area, lots of attention, run with dog, walk around yard, can meet my dogs! Lots of playtime, food & water, outside time. I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years in my family, I’ve dogsat before in a clients home for a week, whom was also a diabetic, so I had to also give insulin. I am a huge dog lover, and always love being around them. We can go to dog parks, take plenty of walks around the neighborhood, and have great treats! I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **please ask about availability during the week as the options on here aren’t the best** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them! Making sure they go to the bathroom, hanging out with them inside, taking them for a walk, etc. overall, I like to make sure the pet(s) are getting attention and being entertained.
“Paulina was amazing! She was able to accommodate for a last minute request and she did such a great job! I would recommend her 100%, definitely going to be booking again!”

“Michelle was absolutely incredible! She was so great with my Lil guy. She walked him twice a day in the pouring rain, took time to dry him off, feed him, and replace his water. She really went above and beyond. I have a giant dog who is very energetic and she handled it without a problem. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for responsible dog care. Can't say enough!!!”

“Alex did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat!! He went above and beyond with pictures, checking in with me, and following all the directions. I can tell he truly cares for animals and is incredibly responsible. Would recommend to anyone.”


“Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!”

“Nadine is absolutely wonderful with my two senior dachshunds and the senior conure. Before we went away for a few days, Nadine came to the house four times to get to know the dogs and the conure and to spend time with them. The “kids” love her and respond to Nadine as if she were an old friend. Our oldest doxie is a 30 lb standard who no longer does stairs, so he needs to be lifted up and down from the back stoop every time he goes out. The catch is that although the old boy won’t climb stairs, he suddenly thinks he’s Superman and can jump! Nadine quickly mastered the correct lift and block to get him up and down safely. Nadine kept in touch and checked in and out and sent extra pictures each of the three times she visited each day which was very reassuring. I know the dogs were in great hands, and so do they; and I know that because When I got home, they did not rush to see me to complain. They were welcoming and happy and totally at ease. We will absolutely use Nadine the next time we have to leave the dogs(and the bird).”

“We have an anxiety 2 year old cocker spaniel that truly has the best time with Arian & Lilia. They made our trip so much more comfortable knowing they were okay. I truly and highly recommend them! They came to meet the dogs twice and were so sweet”

From the initial meet and greet it was very clear that Ericka would genuinely look after my babies. She was sure to be prompt with her drop-ins and provide the necessary care for my two cats, and update me daily on their wellbeing. I was so far away but I felt very assured that they were being well taken care of. If you are looking for peace of mind, look no further. Thank you so much Ericka!
