About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10. I grew up with multiple cats to care for and have been a dog owner for 11 years. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as seniors who may have medical needs. I am also capable of handling high energy pets and households with multiples. I do work full-time (M-F) but have a flexible schedule. I have time in the mornings, and after 5 during the weekdays to care for your pets, and times during the day. Most weekends are very open. I know all pet parents have different rules/expectations, so I am open and happy to follow your lead on how you would need things done. I have a senior dog who is used to no crate, taking full advantage of the couches and beds :) and enjoys moderate length walks. I have had him since he was a puppy, so I am able to provide long walks, exercise time outside and crating if need be.

We gave Josh the highest possible rating and recommend him wholeheartedly! Our dog Scout is wary of strangers and slow to trust new people, but she fell in love with Josh right away. Josh is reliable, prompt, kind and a natural with dogs. We definitely will ask him to take care of Scout again!

About: I have pretty open availability and do not travel that often. I have two small dogs that are playful and energetic. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been part of my life and have gotten me through anything that has ever happened to me. Bad or good. Dogs aren’t considered pets, they are family and I promise to treat your family member with the respect and love you would give yourself. I not only want to cuddle and play with your furry friend, but gain a bond. A friendship. My partner works from home as well. I would love to take any dog in my home while you are away, to either play with me or play with my very own bundles of energy, Coco and Brulee! Please let me know if I can help you out at any time! I do work M-F but have weekends off. My partner works from home and is home all day long. I do have a decent lunch and get off by 5 every day. I would feed your pups on your schedule. I take the time and energy needed to play, nourish and allow your dog to run if needed. Dogs are family and I intend on treating them this way.

Carolyn watched my cat while I went on my honeymoon, and she was perfect! I loved receiving photos and videos of him while I was gone. She even bought him a toy to play with! He was a very spoiled cat while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone who needs their pets watched!!

About: I've have 5 years of hands on dog training, including K9's. I also have a degree in psychology with an emphasis in animal behavior. I've had cats my whole life as well as various wild animals I rescued. Reach out and we can most likely figure something out. I work a regular 9-5 with no weekends so I always have options. Happy to help! It would probably be in the owners home. I'd be careful in another's home while treating their pet as if it's my own. I love animals.

About: I have an almost 5 year old Yorkie dog at home that we’ve had since he was a puppy so I have plenty of experience in obedience training and potty-training puppies. I know every animal is different so I’m also happy to chat about any unique care I can give to your animals. I currently work and volunteer part-time so I have plenty of availability to drop in or walk your animals. I can be pretty flexible so if there is something specific you’re looking for that isn’t listed, send me a message and we can work something out! I’m available for drop in visits and walks only but I know how important it is to find someone you trust, to take care of your pet. I am committed to keeping your animal in safe hands while they are in my care.
