Twice Andy looked after our three cats while we were away for a little under a week each time. She was perfectly on time for our first meet-and-great, asked good questions during that meeting and connected well with the kitties. Well, that first time only two of three kitties really, as the last is super shy. However, the shy one warmed up to Andy during our absence, and if that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is. Andy provided nice updates while we were away, and everything was clean when we returned.

About: I’ve always had dogs when it came to growing up. My family thought it was only natural to have them! I grew up living amongst 5 Great Danes. I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! I’ve had dogs that weigh almost twice as me, and dogs that can fit into purses. I have over 10 years of experience with reactive dogs, since my pittie is very selective of other dogs. I have over 15 years of experience with puppies and training them as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday. 6:30-2:30. After that, I’m available for the rest of the day to let out, walk, feed, and take care of any pets. On the weekends, I am fully available, all day and all night! I care for my pets like they’re my own babies. We don’t have a fenced in yard, but I have one dog that is off leashed trained, and the other that must be on a leash at all times. Which means we go on walks around the property daily! I have an entire room dedicated to the bunnies, and the cat gets the whole house, along with the dogs.

I know and am able to recognize signs of distress, medical emergencies, and changes in behavior which is vital to any Pet Care Professional providing services for your family member. I make it a point to document and monitor pets thoroughly and keep constant communication for owners peace of mind. Your pet's health, safety and happiness is my top priority and putting your furry family member first I own my own business specifically tailored to providing the best care for your pets, equines, and livestock.

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

About: I have had dogs for over 30 years, including a Dalmatian, American Eskimo, and Australian Shepherd-all high energy dogs. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family when they’ve gone on vacation. I am a calm, caring, and active person who will love your dog like my own. I teach part time in the morning, every other day. Other than that, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, play ball, and feed them. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and plenty of dog toys to keep your puppy/dog happy. I also have a two year old Australian shepherd that can be a playmate to other friendly dogs if the dogs are socialized. In case of bad weather, we have plenty of room in our house to accommodate another dog.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets, caring for family pets, friends pets and volunteering at local shelters over the years. I pet sit on the side as I am a full time dental assistant. Looking to make extra money by doing the things I love most...loving on some animals🤍 My hours with my full time job are consistent throughout the week (off weekends) so flexibility is potential but not guaranteed. However, any inquiries will be worked into my schedule to the best of my ability. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to meet your fur babies!! Respectfully will follow any rules clients have with their fur babies in & out of their home. Not allowed on the couch, I don't mind. Allowed on the couch, more cuddles for me!! Whatever works for you, works for me Actively searching for more furry friends🐾🤍

Laurel has a genuine warmth and steady presence that animals are naturally drawn to. She approaches every pet with patience and kindness, treating them like members of the family. Even in unexpected situations, she stays calm and solution-oriented, which gives you total peace of mind. Her professionalism, combined with her big heart, makes her not only a great caregiver but someone who truly makes both pets and their people feel valued and understood.
