About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets in my home. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to sweet senior dogs and everything in between, I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life. Whether it’s providing daily walks, administering medications, or just giving plenty of love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part time for the summer & have plenty of time to care for & give any extra attention your pets will need! I’m available Monday - Friday after 1 pm & weekends! In both my home and clients’ homes, I care for pets as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I have two indoor cats of my own, so I understand the importance of a calm, safe environment and a consistent routine. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for in any setting.

About: Animals mean a lot to me as they provide a sense of safety and love especially with my empathic personality! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 16. I have a pet dog name bruiser and last month I helped my grandma take care of her dog while watching my uncles dog too! I’m able to take care of them every day!! My job is to make sure you have a great sitter that you can trust and your lovely pets can trust too- and I would love to be of help! I have a nice open living room space at my parents home and a huge backyard if they like to play. Also it’s not loud where I live since my neighborhood is quite peaceful!

About: Dogs are my personality. I’m someone who grew up with multiple dogs at a time in my home. Right now, I have a 100 pound black lab, Kobe!!

About: We’ve had dogs all of our lives growing up and now have our own family dog. Our experience ranges from golden retrievers, German shepherds, cockerspaniels, pit bulls, and now our loving labradoodle cooper. We have a big yard for your dog and ours to run around and play fetch if they’re into that. My girlfriend and I both work hybrid jobs. I work about 75% at home and my girlfriend works about 50% at home. They are plenty of days when I am working from home all day. We are always close enough to let the dogs out for a bathroom break, and to play. Our work & personal lives allow us the opportunity to take care of our dog and others. We live in a home with a three-year-old Labradoodle and three children between the ages of 13 to 17. The children love dogs as much as we do. There is a big yard that is fenced for the dogs to enjoy outside whether they run around or play fetch. We let our dog out every few hours or if he is standing by the door, letting us know he wants to go outside. We are always around to feed at appropriate times.

At home, caring for my own pets has taught me the value of attentive and individualized care. Whether that is keeping my cats engaged with new toys, or taking my dogs out for afternoon walks, or making sure my snake's tank is stimulating and has best parameters, every one of my animals gets the love they deserve. From regular grooming to health checks to knowing their quirks and love languages, my pet care philosophy starts in my home.
