3. Grace P.
“Grace has watched our pets many times. She has helped both with daily visits, and longer stays varying from the weekend to over a week. Both we and our pets (one large dog with anxiety and 2 skittish cats) love and trust Grace. She treats our pets with kindness and compassion after having taken the time to get to know them as individuals with unique needs and wants. She cares for them like we would, and always takes the cutest update pictures!”

19. Olivia B.
About: As a person who showed, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, chickens, and pigs in 4H as a kid, who has recently taken a interest and love for exotics and adopted a gecko, I've seen it all. I grew up on a farm with just about every kind of animal under the sun. I've bottle fed baby goats back to health, trained our 5 dogs with love and respect, bathed goats on a hot summer day, and stayed up at night to be there during the birth of baby kittens, goats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. But after all these years, I still don't mind the trouble and heart ache of loving these animals fully, even if it means having to take a lint roller to your shirt covered in dog fur. As a college student living on campus during the Fall-Spring I have just enough time to care for my Crested gecko Calcifer in between classes and work. But when Im at home for breaks like during the summer and winter, I am sure to give all my love to all the critters I have been missing at home. Over these seasonal times off from school I have a break from my on campus job, So I have plenty of time to work on my side gigs, like pet sitting, selling my art at markets, and helping my family build our new house. First and foremost always come the clients instructions and care requirements, they are the pets parent and know whats best for them. But I will always go above and beyond to meet my own personal standard of pet care, of course this very depending on the type of pet. But, typically for standard pet sitting it includes 2-3 house visits a day, regular morning and evening feedings (with a couple treats here and there of course!).
