About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years now for family friends and thought to expand my services! I typically walk 3 miles a day and I love to have a furry friend join me. I am currently in college and missing my golden doodle back home, so I love all the dog time I can get :) I am currently in college with a flexible schedule! I prefer lunchtime or evening walks, but can do potty breaks at any point throughout the day Mon-Fri. I am comfortable crating your dog, feeding, walking, and letting them outside for bathroom breaks. I am also more than willing to include play time for active dogs.(I might enjoy it more than them)

Jamie is the kindest most reliable person I have met in a very long time. I trust Jamie with my life. She takes care of my cats for me every time I’m out of town and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. She’s a great Mother to her daughter, and her own pets! She’s a great friend, daughter, mother, sister, person- period. She’s a huge animal lover and would enjoy helping others with their pets!

About: I’ve had pets since I was five and helped take care of them and pet sat for my neighbors many times over my life. I can bathe dogs and I have experience administering medication to them as well. I love all animals and they take a liking to me too. Aside from dogs I also have experience with cats, fish, lizards, and rodents. I’m in charge of my work schedule, which allows me to be very flexible. I will gladly work with you to get the best care for your pets! During the summer at peak heat times during the day (12-4pm) there is an additional $10 fee for walks. I love animals and will provide attentive care for them. I live in an area with lots of walking spots to take your pets exploring.

About: I've been around pets off and on my entire life. I have experience walking small and medium size dogs regularly, including putting on and taking off harnesses. I am not afraid to roll around on the floor and play with them. I am a firm believer in using dog communication, such as eye contact or lack thereof, and in keeping with the training that already started. If you always put a hand flat for sit, it means sit, if it means lay down, it means lay down. I follow your lead, you know your dog best. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm very consistently open, I will update my availability if something comes up for a day, and I hate letting people down so I pay close attention so I don't overbook myself. Consistency is key for most animals, I'm willing to work with you to maintain the status quo, so to speak, with your pets routine, food, and training.

Mady watched our dog, Rizzo. He's high maintenance but Mady handled it well. She did everything that was asked of her. She took him out multiple times per day and he did great under her care. We will definitely have Mady back to watch Rizzo next time we're gone.

I call Rebecca “the pet whisperer” because, animals that don’t like most humans, love Rebecca. She has a gentle spirit, and a “way” with all animals. They love her! She is caring, respectful, and responsible.

About: I would love to be part of your fur baby’s routine! I have always had a love for animals of all types (except snakes 😅). My family has raised Belgian Malinois, which are used as police dogs, so I can care for even the highest drive dogs. I have trained and cared for several of my family and friends pets and can provide a good reference if needed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby while you are away! I am going to school to become a veterinary pharmacist so I know quite a bit about pets as is. I treat every pet as if it is my own because I know that is how I would want mine to be treated. I have experience doing just about anything with pets so I can be flexible. I do have a female great pyrenees and female lab/pit mix so if your pup enjoys the company of another dog they are always available to come with.

About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been my passion. I've been involved in animal welfare/rescue since I was in my teens, have had pets of all types, and love to care for animals as if they were my own. I'm a currently working towards my degree to become a veterinary nurse, which will be my "second career" when I retire from teaching in a few years. I definitely have experience and now I have the time to do more pet care jobs. Drop-in care can be personalized based on your pet's schedule. This is something I feel is extremely important for the animal, as routines help make adjusting to absences a little easier. Should boarding in my home be necessary, this can also be personalized. I have years of experience fostering both dogs/puppies and cats/kittens, so your pet will receive the attention and care as if they were my own. Drop-in care will be done according to the owner's specifications and instructions. In-home boarding will have extra precautions taken so that pets are safe, well, and taken care of properly. I have a fenced-in front and back yard, however dogs will be leashed when taken out as an extra precaution. I have a dog who has been around cats, dogs ferrets, birds, and other miscellaneous animals throughout her 9 years. She's very laid back and doesn't mind sharing her bed or treats. I also have cats, which came to me through fostering.

About: I have spent my life with pets. I've fostered for rescue, worked with several pet food companies and am very educated in pet nutrition. I've volunteered at my local humane society. I'm an experienced pet handler and have worked with a pet relocation company providing boarding and long distance ground transportation. I have and excellent knowledge of dog breeds and breed specific behavior and needs. I treat every animal I work with as if he/she were my own. All animals in my care are treated as royalty. I have a special love for senior and special needs dogs and always welcome them for services. I will always treat your pet as a member of the family and take extra special care when taking them on dogs walks and transporting them. I'm bonded and insured and a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters I work from home part-time so I'm always home for daycare and boarding. I also have the flexibility to do drop-in visits and petsitting in your home In home boarding and daycare are cage free. Pups are crated at night for sleeping depending on how many dogs are in the house, how well I know them and of course, what they're sleeping preferences are. I'm not a fan of crating pups unless its necessary for health and or safety.
