About: I’ve been providing loving pet care and dog walking services since 2010, with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background started in childcare as a nanny, where caring for the family’s pets naturally became part of the role. Over the years, that grew into extensive pet care experience including walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, vet visits, administering medications, basic training reinforcement, and grooming support. Caring for animals is more than just a side job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, routine care, or just a reliable person while you’re away, I’m here to help and treat them like family. I had the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom to my 3 children for the last 12 years. I'm slowly merging back into the working world (part-time for now), but my dream would be to care for pets full-time. Currently, I'm available during the days my children are at school (8:30a.m.- 4p.m.) Monday-Friday. And 2 weekends out of the month, I'm completely available. Please let me know what you're looking for and there's a good chance I can make it happen, even outside these hours. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by adhering to their usual routines, whether that's in my home or yours. I will follow all instructions carefully--feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, walks, etc. In a client's home, I'm very respectful of your space. I keep things clean, stick to agreed-upon areas, and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. Safety and security for both you and your pet is my priority. I will monitor gates and doors, making sure they are secured as need be. When walking, I stay alert in the environment, monitoring all my surroundings. Your pet(s) will get plenty of TLC, attention, and playtime, taking note of their individual temperament and what it's calling for. Communication is very important to me. I will always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they're away.

“Alicia and her husband are always great with our dogs! This time it was a last minute call for a walk and feeding because we had an event to attend and they came to the rescue!”

About: I am a reliable sitter with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to have someone they can trust, and I strive to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have plenty of time to care for and assist your fur babies! Avaliable most days before 11 and after 7, completely free on weekends. I have an adequate sized yard for fun time, however it is not fenced in. Two medium sized cages if needed. Aswell as a pup of my own the assist in keeping everyone company.

“Our pups loved having Anna care for them. We felt at ease leaving her with them and are so appreciate for her care. She gave us lots of updates and pictures! 🥰”

“This is my third booking with Kiarra in the past couple of months due to lots of summer travel. She provided daily pictures and updates as usual. During this booking, when she was concerned about the auto-feeders not dispensing food, she let me know and adjusted the camera I use to check in on the kitties at various times to the food bowl so that I would be able to verify Smokey's food was getting dispersed at the correct time. She's been great with my cats and I will continue to use her for future bookings.”

About: I have had my doggy since I was 17! She has been with me through a lot! I love animals and enjoy meeting new ones and bonding with them! Sometimes I have a really flexible schedule and can work with whatever your schedule needs may be. My schedule can change from week to week. So it’s best to reach out. I typically am free most days during the day. Late nights can be arranged. Child free home. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. The cat will be separate from other animals. She likes to stay in her space.

About: Hi! I’m Kasey Bre, a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I offer both boarding in my home and in-home care at the client’s home so your pup can stay where they’re most comfortable. I will say, I have my rate on the higher end for a reason. The pups that will get along best here and the ones treated like a family member. They’ll have a seat at the table, they can snuggle in the bed, and if they want to go for a swim in the pool- they can jump right in. My 3 year old dog obsessed mini me and myself, want to make your pups time with us like a vacation all of their own! We love taking them out to dog parks, restaurants, baseball games…if you or the dog prefers us staying around the house, we have a huge fenced in yard with an in-ground swimming pool. We’ll throw all the balls and even have your babe feeling like a hero after “saving us from drowning”. That will go to a pups head quickly though so you’ve been warned! If they get along well with other dogs, our neighboring pups love coming over to play! In our home lives Levi, our gentle 11-year-old Labrador. He’s very sweet, docile from his old age, and mostly keeps to himself downstairs due to his aging joints. Visiting dogs will mainly hangout and sleep with us upstairs but I like to mention Levi just to ensure your pup is okay with another dog in the home. I have hands on experience with potty training, basic skills training, administering medications (pills, liquids, and other methods), senior care, and energetic puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of our family. If you’re in a training process, I’m happy for you to show me the techniques you use and keep it up while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! It honestly bothers me when I know someone is just trying to pocket a little money watching someone’s little love and are not actually dog loving people. I can assure you, your dog will not feel an ounce of sadness while you’re away because we’ll keep them too busy doing fun and positive things and smothered with love from strangers, by the time they realize what’s going on- you’ll be back for them 🥰I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. No promises you won’t receive a pic with your pup wearing a towel and cucumbers on their eyes though! I’m currently a SAHM starting a little handmade and upcycling business so my schedule is pretty open and very flexible! We offer meet and greets so if you’ve never left your baby with anyone, or even if you have, you’re both welcome to come meet us and check out the space where they would be while you’re gone, ahead of time. Send us a message if you’d like to chat more or set something up with us! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, allowing for consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility. I’m home throughout the day and structure my schedule around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest so each pet’s normal routine is followed as closely as possible. We’ll throw in some random fun outings with approval 🙂 Boarded pets receive around the clock care and attention, regular and anytime potty breaks, supervised playtime and swimming time, and plenty of quiet downtime in the evenings. I’m happy to accommodate specific schedules, including medications, special feeding instructions, or preferred routines to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. For in-home care, I follow your pet’s established schedule in their own environment to minimize stress and maintain consistency. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, or more independent, I adjust care to meet their individual needs. I never show up empty handed so they’ll be super excited to see me coming! I aim to provide dependable, over the top care that feels safe and comforting so you can enjoy your time away without stressing and worrying about your babe. My goal is for it to never be an issue for you to go on a trip because your pup will see the suitcase and know they’re going on a mini vacay of their own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take a thoughtful, proactive approach to care, whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, dogs are supervised and get to hangout in a fun and loving environment. The big fenced in yard, comfy dog beds and even our beds, there’s nothing they could ever get into that could or would hurt them. We have cameras around the inside and outside of the home for an added layer of safety! In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions flawlessly. I maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide attentive-reliable care while keeping your home tidy and secure. I’m always mindful of safety during walks, feedings, and playtime. I only accept pets who are a good fit for my home and family environment, and I communicate openly with pet parents before and during care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing and what’s going on. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, fun and loving experience where both pets and their hoomans feel completely at ease and want to come back!

“Jessica was great! Sent a bunch of photos and kept me updated!”

“Excellent! Great communication, she was on time and sent pictures of our babies. Will definitely use her services again and I recommend her to anyone.”

Jasmine A.

“Iyana watched my two cats while I was away and she went above and beyond! Iyana was kind enough to send videos and pics and you could tell how much my cats loved her. She took a lot of time to play with them and she was thorough and very communicative. I cannot wait to rebook Iyana again and I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve take care of all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles) since I was 10 years old. I have always been a trustworthy person to take care of your beloved family member. I am a teacher, a dog and cat owner myself. I am reliable, honest and kind to every person and animal big or small. I’m a teacher who has open summers. I can come morning, afternoon, or night. I have my own dog and cats that I care for on a daily basis and I would treat your animals just like I would my own. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly, spayed Dalmatian named Blue. I also have 2 very friendly rescue cats, Graham and Mellow. I have a lot of space and experience.

About: I have grown up with all types of animals; cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even horses! I take pet care very seriously and enjoy getting to know new fur babies and their personalities. I can drop in in the afternoons around lunch and in the evenings during the week, and on weekends I am free all day to check on your pets. I will make sure your pets get love and attention and not just a quick pop in visit (unless specifically requested). I like to make sure the pet feels safe and secure in their environment while I take care of them

About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I still help care for my family's pets and also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I also grew up near neighbors who fostered dogs and puppies, and I loved spending time helping socialize and play with their foster puppies. This gave me experience being around puppies of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, puppy care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, as well as many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and pet care into my routine is something I'd genuinely enjoy! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated (with lots of pictures if needed!) while you're away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
