“Dawn was great. She seemed to really take care of my babies. She is very good at taking pictures of them. Her response time was good. I would use her again. Thanks again.”
About: I am a mature adult and I have just started taking care of others pets. I have had dogs my entire adult life. I rescued Great Danes for a while as well as owing my own. I’ve had small to large dogs. Puppies & geriatric. I am skilled at giving meds. Most importantly, I want to just love your pups the way you would while you are out of town. I work from home so I am here all the time. If I do run errands I have cameras to check on the dogs while I’m gone. I am also available for drop ins for pets that are close to my home. I have a fenced yard. We have a great neighborhood to walk in. I recently lost my last Great Dane. I haven’t gotten another yet. My dogs have always slept in the bed with me. I will honor the owners requests. Most of the time I move their bed from room to room wherever I am going to be so they are with me. I have an area set up for food & water
“My sweet baby girls were provided with so much love and attention! We could see how happy they were in each phoro/video that was sent. We highly recommend Genevieve and we will definitely be needing her again soon.”
“I am so thankful for Angela! I booked her last minute on a holiday weekend for an early morning drop-in visit. She came to meet my fur babies the Friday before their scheduled drop-in which made me feel so much more comfortable. She fed, watered, let them out to potty, and stayed an extra 30 minutes to give them some extra play/exercise time out of their kennel. She messaged me as soon as she arrived, left, gave me a report on the boys, uploaded pictures, and let me know they were safely back in their kennels before leaving. Her communication skills were great, she did everything exactly as I asked, and I know the boys were well taken care of while they were in her care! We will definitely be using Angela from here on out for all of our drop-in needs! Thank you, Angela for your excellent care!”
About: I understand the patience and determination required when handling and taking care of dogs and cats. Some animals require minimal attention and supervision while others need constant attention. I will happily tune to whatever needs the animal may or may not have. I’m in between jobs at the moment, and even after getting a job I would still love to help out on weekends and whenever I can. While in your home I will respect every guideline provided while also respecting the boundaries a guest should have when in someone else’s home. If your pet makes a mess I will clean it, among making sure they are behaving well. While there are times where pets might not listen or might be difficult, it’s understandable when they have so much going on in their little worlds.
“Kristen came to my house to check in on my two cats while I was out of town. My very independent cat warmed up to her very well, and she kept our boxes clean and did everything single thing I asked for! She had great communication as well. Thanks!”
About: I've owned animals since I was little. My husband and I started working for an animal rescue and have fostered many pets over the years. I work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and able to accommodate anyone looking for help with their pets. I am home during evenings and weekends as well. I have a fenced yard and a doggy door so they will be able to go outside whenever they need to. I own a very playful golden retriever and a cavapoo. They love to play!
About: I have had experience with both senior animals and puppies and kittens! I know how to care for, train, and be patient with animals! I am very flexible and caring! I work part time, but typically early in the mornings! I am off every weekend so I can take care of all your weekend needs! In my home, I walk my dog out on a leash or watch her outside, she does not run away. I will care for your animal however you want or need!
“The meet-n-greet with Cayleigh went very well, and all requirements of the visit with the dogs were discussed. She followed up with a good visit where all requirements were met with no additional information needed. Good Job.”
About: I have been dog sitting since i was 15. whether it was my friends, neighbors, family, i have dog sat for long or short periods of time. sometimes it has just been feeding and letting them out for a quick minute, a full weekend or week, or even 3 full months. i have also watched anywhere from 1-6 dogs at a time. i am very experienced and have had animals since i was born, so i’ve grown up around them and get along with them very well. i am a huge animal lover, so i make sure to give them lots of love and attention, especially because i know they are already in distress with their owner being gone. please feel free to reach out to me, and i have multiple references as well!! i do have kind of a chaotic schedule at the moment. however, i am an early riser so i would have plenty of time to get them the attention they need that morning (if needed) and would make sure i can attend to them in a timely manner! if i am needed to stay the night, that is totally fine with me. the dogs can sleep wherever you prefer or what they are used to, even with me, so that they are comfortable. i care for them based off of what you tell me they are used to, or how you would like, and make that work with my schedule. even if i am not needed to stay the night, i still can stay over there for a few hours to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.
About: I have always been an animal lover and had pets all my life. I have rescued and fostered many dogs and have also been a foster fail a few times because I became so attached. I am down to one pup now named Charlie. He is my pride and joy and he is spoiled rotten. I have volunteered at the Humane Society , been a pet sitter for many of my friends in the past. So I decided why not do it as a job and then I can be around them a lot more. So that's what I am doing. I have lots of references that will vouch that I indeed do love animals. I am retired since 2009 and do work a very part-time job. So I can give your fur babies all the attention they require and need. I can care for pets in my home as long as they would get along with my dog, Charlie. There would have to be an initial meeting first to determine that.
About: I worked for a vet when I was younger, and have also cared for friends and family pets as well. I am an animal lover! I am not working and have a flexible schedule for most days. Whether it's walking, sitting with, or just loving your pet, I'm always there. I can walk, let them out to play, or just keep them company. I can follow whatever schedule is needed to keep your pet happy.
“Phoenix was amazing! He was right on time everyday, extremely patient with my wild bunch (I have 3 big dogs). My babies aren’t used to being with out me so we had a couple of accidents..Phoenix responded like a champ when I feel like some people would have said that wasn’t what they were getting paid for. I think my dogs might prefer him over me at this point because he gave lots of treats. Would definitely use again! Thanks Phoenix!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was an infant, my passion and love for them is indescribable! 1000% treated as mine own, they are loved and played with countless times, throughout the day! I am currently a SAHM and have 3, 4-legged babes of my own. I, as well as my fur babies enjoy the company of other fur babes!! I have a large fenced back yard, as well as 2 large hand built crates (if needed). I am also a photographer and LOVE capturing the play times!
About: Since I was in the 6th grade I have been taking care of dogs, my neighbors dog daisy a Labrador was the first senior dog I helped take care of, I’d dog sit her, play with her, and brush her (which was her favorite) since then my family and I have owned 2 dogs of our own, a chihuahua named cooper and a jack Russel named Knox! Every pet is family and deserves to be treated that way. As of currently I’m unemployed so taking care of my dog Knox is the main thing I do and focus on, playing with him, taking him on walks around the neighborhood. And making sure he gets his exercise. I take my time with dogs, I know various dog breeds depend on how well they trust strangers, so taking my time slowly and gaining your animals trust is my biggest concern!
