“Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with. She truly has a love for animals and is patient with my senior dog! She showed him love, attention and even dealt with when he had an accident in the house. She truly is an animal lover and treated our 13 year old puggle with care. She even spent a little extra time with him due to her knowing we weren't coming home until later in the evening.”

About: Your beloved family members will be cared for as if they were my own, and that is a promise! I will be sure to send many photos to you while you are away or during my visits! I have grown up around many different pets but am best around cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes! I started by caring for family and neighbors pets but have branched out to many different families, giving my time and dedication to all! I am currently at home for the summer before I return to campus in the fall! I am available at most times of the day and week! I believe our pets are most comfortable in their own home so that is why I only do in home pet care. I work hard to make it appear as though I was never in your home, taking the utmost care and consideration towards both your animals and your hard earned property!

“Lisa was great with both my dogs while I was on vacation. She kept me up to date as to what she did with the dogs that day and sent me pics to let me see my "babies". I felt very at ease having her look after them. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
16. Naveen P.
About: Hi! We are a positive and energetic dog parents who absolutely love spending time/working with dogs. We are a very reliable couple with years of experience caring for dogs, from puppies to adult dogs. We can help with Boarding, drop- in visits and Pet Walking. With us, your furry babies will receive appropriate care, and I'm willing to do other additional tasks like training your dogs on few basic commands if requested. With all our experience being dog parents, we’re able to provide a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your furry babies. Currently, my wife and I work from home and our schedule is pretty much open throughout the week. Since both of us are home, we are able to give constant care and attention to the fur babies. We have a unfenced backyard & are parents to a 1year old Maltipoo who will keep your furr baby accompanied. We also have a outdoor playpen( temporary fence) to play in my backyard as and when weather permits.
17. Felicia S.
“Felicia is not only a loving pet caregiver, she is also an experienced dog trainer and dog behaviorists with a specialty in correcting aggressive dog behavior. This is someone who can train your dog to sit and all basic things that dog owners would like in their dogs, which she does, but Felicia works with dog owners who have serious dog behavior problems to correct them and manage the undesirerable behavior that gets dogs put in shelters to begin with. Additionally, Felicia works with local rescue shelters to rehabilitate dogs with these bad behaviors so they can be ultimately placed in a loving home and keeps these dogs out of kill shelters. My dog is a direct benefactor of her years of experience, that gave him his last opportunity before going to a kill shelter because he was returned to a shelter multiple times due to bitting. We adopted our dog Louie from a shelter after he had been rehabilitated by Felicia and knowing his past issues and I can tell you that we have a completely different dog than how he first started out his life. I would highly recommend Felicia to walk and love your dog and also engage her in any training needs that might come up. I can't recommend her services enough, you will be happy you contacted her. Your pets are in the very best hands.”
18. Traci K.
“My sister Traci and I were raised with animals our whole lives. Anywhere from cats and dogs to ducks and horses- we have cared for all types. My sister was the one always bringing home the strays and making them part of our family. We have always felt that our pets are not just animals, but family members and Traci cared for them as such. Traci has two titles in our family- "Dog Whisperer" and "Dr Doolittle". She truly loves animals and will always put them first. I will always trust my kids aka my three dogs with their Auntie Traci. ”
19. Graci S.
About: I have worked at animal hospitals since I was 16. I'll always love caring for pets the way I care for my own. I'm good with young- elderly pets and will give the same amount of love to each. I'm good with giving medication, diabetic animals, and more. I'm currently enrolled in school and have plenty of time to care for animals. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats of my own so pretty much my entire day consists of animals. I also work part-time at Vca animal hospital in the surgery department on an as-needed basis. id love to care for your pets as well and continue sharing my love for animals as much as I can. I will provide walks outside, play with toys, or even lie down with your loving animal. Most days I can keep up with any animal's energy to provide the best care and relationship with your pet. I'll give treats (if allowed). I can even help potty train young puppies or kittens.
