My dog really seems to like Cora. She's great about limiting his walks to a shorter distance (medical condition) but spending some time playing with toys, too.

Jen was so good with all my cats and my dog. I was honestly concerned that my pet care needs were asking too much but Jen was amazing and completed everything I asked! My baby girl was very comfortable with her and knew she was safe. I would refer her to anyone looking for a caring pet caregiver who will ensure your pets safety and happiness. She has definitely earned a repeat client with me and will most likely be main/only dog walker unless she’s unavailable haha. Anyways, book her if you can!

Karli is AMAZING with pet care and I would put my total trust in my cat's safety with her. It's funny - I think sometimes my cat likes her more than me...she's always so happy when Karli hangs out with her. She's a lover of all animals, and has experience with cats and dogs, but also farm animals (goats, horses, peacocks, llamas, chickens) due to her previous work experience working at a children's petting farm. That girl would put herself through anything to care for the animals around here. You're doing yourself a favor booking with her.

About: I have worked in two animal care environments, one being a pet sitting/dog walking company, the other being a dog day care facility. I have supervised and cared for groups of dogs, as well as provided walks, play time, or fresh food/water. I also frequently used to watch my neighbors pups and home when they went out of town on vacations. I grew up with and helped take care of 2 cats and 2 dogs (a golden retriever mix and a german shepherd), as well as a few other critters like hamsters and hermit crabs, and I have currently have a cat of my own! *PLEASE READ before requesting booking!!!* I am in between jobs at the moment while using this app to help bring in some money in the mean time! I will update this as soon as I’m aware of my new schedule, so I am free for the time being, until further notice :) I definitely have a lot of experience going to different client homes and working with a variety of situations and breeds. I love to give everyone's fur babies some love and care, like giving them some head or belly scratches, some play time, time to run around outside if need be, or providing some fresh water and a friendly person for them to hang out with.

Emily has been awesome with my dog Millie over the last year and a half. She is a family friend who offered to let out and watch Millie while I’m at work. Millie always gets so excited to see her and Emily always sends picture updates from my house when she’s there! So glad to have someone I can trust let her out and spend time with her when I’m not able to.

About: I have been petting sitting ever since high school. I’ve cared for dogs (all sizes), many many cats (I grew up with 3 cats), rats, hamsters, rabbits, snakes, basically anything you could keep as a pet haha. I’m a quick learner and very flexible. Anything you need, I can do :) I am currently pursing my college degree in Art Education and during the breaks I have lots of downtime. Even during the school year I have light days that could be used to care for pets! I have done plenty of house sitting before in the past. I always keep respectful boundaries while being in and around your home and personal belongings.

Sam is the kindest, most empathetic person when it comes to animals! He is very kind and is always respectful with both the animals and their owners. He watched my family's dog multiple times and got our dog to cuddle with him, which is hard to do! Sam is also the best pet owner and spoils his own dog with love and attention. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone!
