“Alyssa is AMAZING!! So glad we found here to drop in on our dogs while we are at work. She is very responsive and was able to accommodate us last minute. Our dogs absolutely love her and I know will be looking forward to seeing her each day!”


“Lark has been incredible! She pays such close attention to my dog and has built a wonderful relationship with her. Lark has gone above and beyond for my pup and I feel very comfortable knowing she is walking and taking care of my dog while I am at work. Lark communicates with me quite a bit about my pup so I always know what’s going on. Knowing your dog is being well taken care of is worth a lot to me, and I do not have to worry about Tillie at all when she is with Lark!”

About: I’m a Registered Nurse with a strong passion for animal care. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including those with special needs. Whether it's administering medications and injections or simply providing attentive, compassionate care, I’m committed to supporting the health and well-being of your pet, whether they have fur, feathers, or scales.! 🐾💉💖 I work flexible daytime hours Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, and evening care. Please note that Rover’s morning time slot is set from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, but I’m specifically available from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM during weekdays. I’m also available all weekend long to give your pet the attention and care they deserve! I share my home with two senior dogs who enjoy sunbathing and cozy naps, so I understand the importance of meeting each pet’s unique needs. I'm experienced in caring for multiple animals with different routines and preferences, and I make sure every day includes a balance of walks, interactive play, and downtime for cuddles and relaxation. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets and am comfortable administering medications, including injections. I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment—especially for animals who may be nervous or require extra care. Whether your dog thrives on long walks, a lively game of fetch, or quiet time on the couch, I’ll tailor their care to match their personality and routine. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated with the same attention and affection I give my own.

About: I grew up around pets and have always loved animals. I have cared for dogs and cats with special needs. I have cared for senior pets that have difficulty hearing and seeing and young puppies that are barely potty trained. I love caring for all animals and love the difference that every animal brings! Over the summer, I have availability all day on the weekend! During the week, I work part-time at a Physical Therapy clinic. I work 4 hours in the morning on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I work 8 hours on Monday and Wednesday but have a lunch break to check in on the pets and let them go potty. Your pets will get lots of love and attention. They will also get physical activity if requested. I understand how important it is to feel confident and secure when someone takes care of your pet and comes into your home. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and close attention to their needs. I also take home security and privacy very seriously. You can count on me to follow any specific instructions you provide, keep your home safe and clean, and always maintain open communication. I aim to ensure you and your pet feel cared for and comfortable.

“Nicole has been checking in on my dog Kane for about six months now and she’s consistent with her visits and when I return home Kane is always in good spirits. She’s also able to accommodate at times my last minute scheduling as things pop up. She’s a pleasure to work with.”

About: I will care for your pet as if they are my own. Your pet will feel at home and you will be worry free when in need. If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact me at any time.

I just want you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while away from each other. Again if you have any concerns, questions, or requests please feel free to contact me! I work from home with the hubby so being here for your pet is not a question! We also have a fenced in dog park next door to us and take our own pup there daily! I have my own pet friendly fur baby (dog) and cats that do have a seperate living space for them in case we need to board a pet that is not used to cats. Me and my husband take our dog to the fenced in dog park next to us to get her zoomies out at 12 everyday and sometimes if necessary we’ll go twice a day. We also will go on daily walks up to 5 times a day so your pup will definitely be able to get some energy out!

“Cat did a fantastic job with the drop in visits. She was punctual, spent some time playing them, and had no issues with our most high maintenance cat’s medication. Most importantly, the cats really seemed to liked her. I would highly recommend her and plan on hiring her again for any future visits.”

About: I have experience with multiple breeds varying between small, medium, and large dogs. I know how to read their body language and follow instructions to a tee. I have the weekends free to focus on your pup and their happiness and needs. Your pet is my priority first and foremost and I can't wait to meet them. Your dog will be in great hands and well loved. I miss having pups of my own since I started living in an apartment complex so it's the best of both worlds for both me and your pet.
